What do you think about the the recent edit on this question?
 
@AmalMurali rollback I would say
 
From the OP? Or from your disagreement with YCS?
 
Oops, I forgot to mention that. My disagreement with YCS here.
The question was tagged but YCS untagged it.
What do you think?
 
/me will not comment on YCS's answer in fear of users calling me out again
 
Is the question using pdo?
 
1:03 PM
What is wrong about YCS? I do not know him.
 
Long story. Colourful history. Brilliant contributor if he wants to ...
 
@Bart Why not?
 
I wouldn't want to be accused of stalking, bullying and downvoting again @AmalMurali. ;) Just kidding though. Tongue-in-cheek and all that.
 
I have no idea why he's removing PDO tags from all the questions.
 
@AmalMurali he explained here stackoverflow.com/a/23311193/578411
 
1:14 PM
is that really an answer ... ?
 
still not commenting
 
also, why is that community wiki ?!
 
to prevent rep loose from DV's
 
If you know it's not really an answer, and you're going to catch flack ....
 
I suppose
 
1:16 PM
That does not look reasonable to me to do ...
 
^^^^
 
Mat
The whole question should be closed & deleted. How can it possibly help anyone, the problematic query isn't even displayed.
 
Yep, voted to close
 
@Laszlo you guys from review police are getting on my nerves. Please, limit your review activity only to the areas where you can comprehend both the question and the answer. Thank you. — Your Common Sense 36 secs ago
 
Heh
 
1:19 PM
Cannot comprehend the question, it should get closed and deleted anyways :(
 
seems like an annoyed guy.
 
That would be one way to describe the Col.
 
@rene That's his side of the argument. I don't agree with it.
 
I wouldn't sweat it @AmalMurali. The question just needs to go.
 
@AmalMurali I did not yet choose any side...
Politically incorrect as I am
 
1:26 PM
Right, @Bart. But what about his other edits? He's been doing this for long. Nobody questions him :p
 
@AmalMurali if he does it on content that really belongs on the site, gather them and bring up the issue. Ask on Meta how such things could/should be settled without drawing it out into an edit war.
 
Make sure you make it about the general behaviour though. Not the particular user.
 
deleted an hour ago, yet the flag on it seems to be active in my flag history?
 
@AmalMurali Despite his tone-of-voice I believe he tries to have only high-quality stuff in the pdo tag. Problem might be that the quality standard is dictated by him.
 
1:31 PM
Just to make sure if I've got the idea right. When should a question be tagged with something?
 
@AmalMurali when the tag is directly relevant to the question asked
if I'm asking about poodles and dogs it should be tagged as poodles and dogs, if I'm asking about poodles but the poodles are dogs too it should only be tagged as poodles
I think I got it right @shog ^
 
you mean poodle? :P
 
Don't mix poodles and puddles. That would take a whole lot of washing, rinsing and drying to correct.

I didn't knew the way to write it, but the pronunciation, so I just took a guess
@Bart heh
 
1:51 PM
"puddle" is a small pool of water/mud, "poodle" is a dog breed. But I could've made the same mistake. The names are confusing ;)
 
additionally, poodles are likely to leave puddles on your carpet :P
 
While we are talking about dogs, I recently got a Rottweiler puppy :D
 
yay, those are awesome
 
2:07 PM
Should this question be tagged ?
 
@AmalMurali The code block contains a MySQLi function, so yes.
 
2:22 PM
Nah not spam
 
Strange account though
53 days member, asks first question today...
 
: remove the meta information (at the bottom) in this answer: stackoverflow.com/a/19110637
 
After your earlier edits I wouldn't escalate it. Just flag perhaps.
 
2:40 PM
done , on hold
 
There is hope...
That is much better and I'm sure answerable... — rene 2 mins ago
 
2:56 PM
List of rollbacks done by YCS. He does a lot of rolling ;)
 
As long as he doesn't rick ...
 
Maybe it is time for a Meta post as you said, @Bart
 
Not if you're planning to call out a specific user
Just if you need feedback on a particular concept or general behaviour
 
@AmalMurali are those rolls back undiscriminated or justified or at least reasonable?
 
If it's about a user, just flag.
 
3:01 PM
@Braiam: I don't know. But most of them are tag rollbacks - removing [pdo], [mysql], [mysqli] tags from questions (mostly from the questions where they're relevant). He also rolls back most of the edits to his answers.
@Bart: It's not about a specific user, I'm just looking for feedback and suggestions on how to handle this without an edit/rollback war.
 
Then by all means ask.
 
I wonder if it would be okay to use some of YCS's posts as examples to support my case?
 
Mat
Slippery slope that.
 
Mat
Not a good idea if all your examples are from the same user. And some of those at least are legitimate (IMO) - plain SQL query syntax errors aren't related to PDO (and often not to PHP either).
 
3:11 PM
Perhaps, if one is willing, it's better to filter this through a CM first @AmalMurali. Maybe some of their feedback will help you settle upon an answer, without any risk for other parties or yourself
 
I couldn't find any other posts where tags relevant tags were removed. :(
@Bart CM?
Community Manager?
 
Yep
The problem with the community is that they are going to take that list and pick up on the "look at that evil user" part of it. Even if you don't intend to.
 
That's a good idea. I'll just email team@.
 
3:38 PM
A mild bug that I've only identified on TeX - LaTeX:
5
Q: Posts with high score (100+) in sidebar wraps

WernerThe sidebar contains related and linked posts. If such a post has 100+ votes, the alignment is off (any of these posts will have a link to LaTeX Editors/IDEs that replicates the problem): This seems specific to TeX - LaTeX (and perhaps Meta.TeX) as StackOverflow doesn't exhibit this:

@Pops: Are you "our" resident overseer @ TeX - LaTeX?
 
@Werner that's a bug in all SE, let me pull the MSE post

Q: Related questions with over 99 score display incorrectly

3ventic The score for the 4 questions are 111, 1218, 261 and 5 respectively, but they display 2 digits per line. This is an obvious bug in design.

Yay :p
Still searching @Braiam?
 
@Bart I gave you a handicap :P
 
4:08 PM
@Braiam Not on Stack Overflow.
@Bart Wow... posts with score of 1000+ or even 10000+... geez.
 
@werner depends; would that make you like me more, or less?
But seriously, yeah. It's informal though; if I'm sick or on vacation or something, you can get in touch with anyone on the team.
 
@Pops Wrting suggestions on meta as an answer is okay, right?
 
Sure, as long as you're following the usual rules about being relevant to the question.

Q: What should be done when users remove relevant tags from the question?

Amal MuraliThere are many cases where users edit out certain tags from a question. This might perhaps be done with good intention in mind, but when other users disagree with the removal of the tag(s), they add it back. Most of the times, this would go unnoticed, but in some cases, it develops into an edit w...

 
Heading out (am only on my phone in a parking lot right now anyways).
 
4:21 PM
@AmalMurali I edited your post to change MySQL into MySQLi, because that was the removed tag, not
 
Thanks!
 
You're welcome
 
Not what I usually post.

I would suggest deleting the "7 Essential Meta Questions for Every Beta" then, or updating it to reflect reality. blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/07/…Don Gilbert Apr 23 at 15:20

@TheGuywithTheHat Depends on the game you ask about
Most of the traffic there is from Google.

@GnomeSlice Minecraft
 
The site is pretty diluted with minecraft stuff
 
@GnomeSlice Is this you?
 
@TheGuywithTheHat Yes, but I think I posted like once
I haven't played MC in years anyway.
