committing, what I think is my first working userscript.
testing this: (removed)
Yes!
It works!, sort of.
 
What does it do?
29 secs ago, by Tyler Chacha
What does it do?
 
It replaces the word "removed" with the word "redacted"
 
Sorry, the word "removed
with the word redacted
 
blinks
 
10:04 PM
sorry, It replaces "removed" with "redacted"
 
is there a reason?
you just said the same thing 3 times..
 
It actually isn't ready for prime time, froze up my chat.
I was testing it.
 
I wanted to post something on github and this was a start.
@TimStone - Tru, my apologies.
@RebeccaChernoff , @YiJiang - How do you do efficient replacements in your scripts?
 
@TylerChacha because I call it redacting a message instead of removing a message, since it's no longer visible.
So he got inspired
 
10:07 PM
@drachenstern - And redacted is cooler.
I was testing a few things at once
javascript userscripts and github
 
I'd go for (reviewed by the minister of truth)
 
Meh.
 
@radp - If you can help me figure out a better way to do the replacement, I'd go for it.
 
Afternoon everyone
 
Afternoon @TheNeedsMoarJqueryException
gtg
 
10:11 PM
Have a good one @Moshe
 
@TheNeedsMoarJqueryException welcome back Mr Voting Ring Conspirator!
 
LOL, sorry, I missed the reference @drachenstern..?
 
@TheNeedsMoarJqueryException I wouldn't say "missed" but I will grant you that, hang tight...
 
@Moshe No, I don't. You should listen for DOM events. @Yij looked into it and found out it's not easy to.
 
You can't talk about that on this site!
 
10:12 PM
@Moshe <span class="deleted">(removed)</span> only select the ones you need my good sir.
 
@drachenstern - And how do I put them back in?
 
@Moshe bear with me. Don't select every chat message. Only the ones that have actually been deleted. Then do the replace internally on those elements.
 
@Pekka It actually was never deleted.

A: 6 simple tips to get Stack Overflow reputation fast

Evan CarrollI'm thinking about writing a book focusing mostly on the strategy of getting rep on Stack Overflow. Here is a sneak preview. I want to see how much demand is out there for this. I think SAMs might be convinced to publish it. The real version will have to be like 200 pages, so I'll have to write ...

 
I was just pointing out how they look
 
Oh no, eveyone look out, @Moshe is hacking chat!

Q: Stop special-casing Stack Overflow's meta.

Laurence GonsalvesQuestions about why Stack Overflow does not share rep with Meta Stack Overflow are met with the response that meta.stackoverflow and stackoverflow do not share a "parent-child relationship" like the other meta sites. For example, this response: Stack Overflow isn't in a parent-child relations...

 
@drachenstern - Right, but how do I put them back into the page?
 
(Removed by department of агитпроп?)
 
Does anyone know if you lose reputation for flagging a post or deleting an answer?
 
@Moshe put what back into the page? You're thinking too high level. I'm only talking about being narrowly selective
 
Hang on
 
10:14 PM
@ninjasense only if the post had points do you lose rep, you lose nothing for flagging
 
i keep losing rep though?
 
@drachenstern - Oh, i think I follow.
 
ill try and flag another post and see if i lose rep
 
@ninjasense How much?
 
@ninjasense give us the question of the one you flag, let us see if there's something going on, there's a few SO 10k'ers on here
@ninjasense but it shouldn't.
 
10:17 PM
@drachenstern I am still lost :-p
 
@TheNeedsMoarJqueryException oh crap, I think I linked you to the wrong post :(

Q: How do I deal with potential downvoting rings?

gravityboyThis guy went to every one of my questions and wrote something stupid about the null vote idea. Vote up, down and null (zero)? Is there anything I can do about it? He also hangs out in the chat room and the users there all get together and vote each other up (they have multiple fake accounts al...

try that one
 
howdy all.
 
@TheNeedsMoarJqueryException shhhh, don't make any sudden movements
 
You're like sub-zero meta question master today @drachenstern!
 
@drachenstern - Can you look at my script for a second?
 
@Pollyanna How goes?
 
10:19 PM
I've done the replacement, but now how to I apply it to the page?
 
@TheNeedsMoarJqueryException lol, I try
 
@drachenstern Did you see my troll?
 
@Moshe what specifically would you like me to consider?
 
@th
 
10:20 PM
It gets all of the "deleted" comments
 
er, not used to this chat system yet.
 
and then it processes them
 
@mootinator I don't believe I did
@Pollyanna you picked a busy time to visit :p
 
I'm currently angry with Apple as the latest scode I just spent hours downloading is broken.
 
@drachenstern - How do I apply thee changes?
 
10:20 PM
xcode
 
@drachenstern I'm upvoting all the terrible posts you've all been linking. Ahahahahaha.
 
@Pekka, LMAO
 
@mootinator oh, lol
 
@Pollyanna - What's the problem?
 
@Pollyanna Uparrow edits your latest message.
 
window.setInterval(function(){

//Get the deleted comments
var deletedComments = document.getElementsByClass('deleted');

//Regex to look for
var regex = /\(removed\)/gi;

//Do the replacement
for(var i=0; i<deletedComments.length; i++){
deleteComments[i].text.replace(regex, "(redacted)");
}

}, 1000);
 
@drachenstern Geez, this is a doozy. @Moshe what have you done!?!?!?!
;-)
 
(Alternatively you can hover a message, click on the arrow and pick Edit.)
 
@Moshe I got it from the link ;)
 
I'm going to get kicked out of the cartel and become a freedom fighter :O
 
10:22 PM
@drachenstern Ah
 
I'm not a mac person, so it's probably just me. The downloads window in safari says, "Mounting failed" and when I click on it it says it's still downloading, but there's no progress counter, so it looks like it should be done.
 
@Moshe wait, why do you need the regexp?
 
@TheNeedsMoarJqueryException - What? /Shrugs
 
Someone feel like clarifying? If @Moshe's script is used only on SO sites, he'll always have jQuery right? (assuming the defintion of always is transient)
 
10:23 PM
@drachenstern - good point.
 
@radp what I was thinking personally ...
 
@radp - I don't. good point
 
@Moshe I was kidding, about the downvoting ring
 
@moshe just do $('span.deleted').val('(redacted)');
 
@TheNeedsMoarJqueryException - I didn't realize that that was the reference.
 
10:24 PM
well, it's probably not .val ... more like .html(
you have a console, feel free to play with it ;)
$('span.deleted').html('(redacted)'); does what you want just fine.
Now I'm assuming that you don't want to verify the text in the middle first, so if they change it to say something else (like 'this message removed'), yours will still say '(redacted)'
 
@drachenstern this guy is crazy
 
@Moshe might change it to .html ... I didn't try .val
@TheNeedsMoarJqueryException the "I'm being stalked" guy?
 
@drachenstern - pushing...
 
I want to respond but I don't even think this warratns a response. Plus @Pekka did a fine job
 
@TheNeedsMoarJqueryException I would not feed the troll
 
10:26 PM
@drachenstern Yeah him
 
@Moshe: I wouldn't.
@Moshe: sorry, I couldn't parse that comment.
 
@drachenstern -Not working, btw
 
@Moshe it worked in my console ... oh, wait, you're not binding it to anything are you? how does it know when a message gets deleted?
 
It's a loop
But, yea it wouldn't know.
 
You have to tell it when to update, otherwise it will only work on page load, etc.
 
10:30 PM
I used setInterval
 
on a loop? eww yucky
 
ever 1000 milliseconds
 
that smells horrible :(
 
How else do you do it?
My JS is rusty.
 
idk, consult rchern's script, or beg @TimStone to loosen up with the new info ;)
I'm sure there's a .change you can tack onto
 
10:31 PM
JS? Someone said JS? What's up??
 
<- /*turns to TimStone.
 
@drachenstern just checked -- there isn't in the core jQuery.
 
@TheNeedsMoarJqueryException - MY script needs help.
 
something about setInterval in a loop is all I saw
 
10:32 PM
@RebeccaChernoff how do you know when something gets inserted into the dom/updated on the dom? for chat purposes
 
seriously, gtg, Gonna miss my ride. @TheNeedsMoarJqueryException, see my userscript on GitHub
 
@drachenstern See the link I just posted.
 
@Moshe ciao then, don't hang here for our account, we'll be here
 
ok thanks
 
@RebeccaChernoff yes yes pesky woman, I was waiting on it to load and it's not even my script :p
 
10:32 PM
@drachenstern This is very true :-)
have a good one @Moshe
 
is not pesky ):
 
@RebeccaChernoff oh I see what you're doing ;)
 
Hey @Rebecca, how are you?
 
@RebeccaChernoff hehehe, you're also not yet blue :p
@TheNeedsMoarJqueryException ask her about her new job ;)
 
yes @Rebecca! New job details please!!!!
 
10:33 PM
@TheNeedsMoarJqueryException, I finally told everyone that I'm working for Experts-Exchange.com
 
Somehow I find this difficult to believe ;-)
Unless you're an inside agent going to bring them down
 
Welcome to work at Stack Overflow, @Nick_Craver and @rchern!
not like he wasn't going to find out shortly anyways
 
@drachenstern I was starting to google, yes :-)
 
@drachenstern party pooper ):
 
A very heartfelt congratulations @Rebecca! That's awesome
 
10:36 PM
congratulations, @Rebecca! That's very cool.
 
I guess your answers to their survey were better than mine ;-)
 
thanks (:
 
I guess I need to treat you with more respect now, LOL (-;
 
@TheNeedsMoarJqueryException whyever would we adopt that model?
can I get someone's attn on not-chat by @'ing them here?
 
@drachenstern Yes.
 
10:40 PM
as all the notifications I get for @MichaelMyers and @MichaelMrozek prove... <evil laugh>
 
@jjnguy and @shog9 need a hearty pat on the back for getting that cat to open up to what his beef was
@MichaelPetrotta but you're on chat, I don't know that jjnguy is
well I guess a search would've been appropriate, they are
 
@drachenstern: doesn't matter. I get notifications for any ping to @Michael
whether I'm on chat or not.
 
@MichaelPetrotta it may matter if you've never logged into chat before tho
 
@drachenstern: true.
 
That's really what I was wanting to know
but he has, so there's that
 
10:43 PM
So since you don't have an official /about/team entry yet @Rebecca can I ask what your offical title / responsibilities are?
 
holy crap when did I get to 6180 chat messages? Oh, yeah, just now
 
See, now we really can /blame rchern!!!
(well, maybe)
Also, I guess this answers the burning question about whether chat will be allowed at work @Rebecca ;-)
 
I negotiated for a clause saying that I cannot be /blame'd. nods
 
@RebeccaChernoff I am truly impressed
A coder and a lawyer!
 
@RebeccaChernoff nice try
 
10:45 PM
@RebeccaChernoff SCREENSHOT OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.
 
@Zypher go away ):
q:
 
@Zypher knows all
 
@Pollyanna I invoke "Vote @drachenstern up into 10k territory on MSO" please. :D
 
:-D soon enough ... only slept 3 hours last night ... getting close to pass out time
 
10:47 PM
But seriously @Rebecca, will you be working with the main site code, or chat, or something else? Or, can you not say?
 
> However, if you need to be able to access the higher functions of the site, it is astonishingly easy to get rep here. If you still have problems, flag posts and ask for help from moderators until you have the rep. – Pollyanna 4 mins ago
 
@TheNeedsMoarJqueryException I'll even go for "or do you know for sure yet"
 
@MichaelMyers posh, I just wanna invoke it directly ;)
 
And congrats on reaching the first page of /users @drachenstern
 
10:49 PM
@TheNeedsMoarJqueryException danke ;)
I'm aiming for top 15 by tomorrow mid morning ;)
 
I'll be working with Robert.
 
@drachenstern Actually, I wasn't aiming that at you. I just posted it here so I could look sideways at @Pollyanna.
 
@RebeccaChernoff Well, again, good for you. I see now why you were so excited!
 
@MichaelMyers oh, well I still want it ;)
@TheNeedsMoarJqueryException that was my first thought too :D
 
10:51 PM
(@Pollyanna will soon learn why the experienced users stay out of this room: enter it once and you can be @notified forever. Or for a couple of days, anyway.)
 
@TheNeedsMoarJqueryException (;
 
@drachenstern My second thought was: I am now the #1 non-employee user of chat!!! WOO HOO!!!
 
lmao
That makes me #9 then eh? And #7 if we count the two "dead" accounts?
Lucky #7 ... allright!
speaking of gravatars that look like @TimStone's
 
I SMELL A SOCKPUPPET!
 
10:54 PM
Similar - but not identical...
 
true, but at 48px damned close
the enhanced size made a noticeable diff tho
 
Tim Stone obviously planned this particular sockpuppet well in advance.
 
I've never used the default gravatar - is there any easy way to find out what it would be?
 
@TimStone keeps his gravatar and his location both very ambiguous
 
I'm curious about how much the chat rooms are really used...most times I've taken a quick look, and they've not been busy.
 
10:54 PM
@ChrisF same here
 
@TimStone Your gravatar looks like all others'. Please fix by stealing @MichaelMyers' instead.
 
@JonathanLeffler depends on which room
 
Tim's gravatar is more 'swirly' than mine...
 
@JonathanLeffler you probably haven't looked in here :-)
 
@JonathanLeffler There's a lot of activity on chat.stackoverflow.com, last I looked.
 
10:55 PM
yawns What's going on?
 
see the histograms ...

 PHP

Support group for those afflicted with PHP. Don't ask to ask, ...

 JavaScript

Topic: Anything JavaScript, ECMAScript including Node, React, ...
ok I'll stop
 

 The Bridge

General Arqade Chat. We tried to leave once, but the door lock...
 
Maybe - though it may be more to do with when I look at the chat rooms, when all the sane people in the USA are asleep (but then, we're techies - we ain't sane), and those in Asia aren't yet awake...
 
Will @TylerChacha please remove the silly "Hell hath no fury like a drunken man with a keyboard." comment?
 
2.2k messages/week ftw :P
 
10:56 PM
@TheNeedsMoarJqueryException Do you have a better idea?
 
@TimStone Just making fun of you, nothing unusual. You can resume sleep now :-)
 
Nah, I'm up now. :P
 
@MichaelMyers Add another owner to keep Tyler under control
 
@MichaelMyers I liked the tales of bread an wine better, or almost anything else he's had up there :-)
@MichaelMyers But I'm sure I could come up with something
 
There's also a question of topicality - the rooms I might be interested in (at times when I can afford to look at them) seem to be .. dormant.
 
10:58 PM
@RebeccaChernoff I assume there will be a ... computer malfunction on SO in the near future, yes?
 
@TimStone Check twitter.
 
@radp I'd never do that, but I did look back in the chat log.
 
@JonathanLeffler Yeah, that is a problem with chat for some
 
@TimStone Then you should be packing things up!
 
Apparently someone didn't let on just how awesome their new job would be ;)
@radp What am I packing up? :P
 
10:59 PM
@radp How about we make rchern a dev so she can change it?
2
 
She was pretty clear it would be pretty awesome
@MichaelMyers DOOOO IT!
