Well, the Sought rule-set (and thus Fraud sub-set) is being re-generated

They are really being generated every 4 hours when new patterns can be
tested for safety only during the nightly masscheck?

Yes, that's the very nature of the Sought process. Automatic pattern
extraction. These are not hand-written rules, and they are neither
candidates for inclusion in stock.

Also, the nightly masschecks are bound to a specific SVN revision, so
automatic or hand-written changes shortly after the deadline don't
affect the results.



What is the difference between JM_SOUGHT_FRAUD_[123] and JM_SOUGHT_[123] in the nightly masschecks?

Perhaps I'm not understanding fully understanding how SOUGHT works.

How can rules be automatically generated and pushed to the channel every 4 hours and be manually vetted as described here?

Are the nightly masscheck results used at all to determine the safety of SOUGHT sub-rules?
