Unfortunately not, it doesn't store anything for now, it's an API that just gives you a 0/1 for stupid/clever. That's a good suggestion, though. I'll add a feature to save the results and give you a link in exchange for manually marking your text as stupid/clever, so the filter gets trained.

Everyone will be happy to know that entering the entire comment section of Hacker New's top post at the moment[1] returned 'Your text was of high quality' while Reddit's top post[2] returned 'Your text was of low quality'.

This text classifier is great!

Wow, this is a new strategy for spambots. Taking the content of another comment (in this case http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2086932 ), and posting it in the same thread (ensuring that it's somewhat relevant ... well, not in this case, as it's out of context) but with a link to a website at the end. Still has the new-account thing, though. Has anyone else seen this happening?

If you're not a spambot, I am, of course, very sorry for the accusation, but you must admit that the evidence is on my side.

I saw that comment and thought it was mine, so I was wondering why you were accusing me of being a spambot and was confused. Then I saw the username, I hope HN doesn't start to get overrun by spambots...

Haha, I used upvoted reddit comments for the "high quality" dataset and YouTube comments for the "low quality" one, I am sorry for the internet racism!

You might end up with a classifier that considers some memes and topics (tech,games) that originate from reddit as high quality and youtube centric stuff as low quality (mainstream media, music, etc)
