@Shokhet No biggie. I forget to leave too. I just noticed you had been around and wanted to say hi.

@hichris123 Yep , just throwing out some sunday morning quarterback stats

@bluet Sunday doesn't fit in that phrase, since most games (assuming American football) are on Sundays.

Didn't think we'd get a deflategate reference. :P

Hm. From chat activity I suppose that @bluet is around 0 UTC. And then the NFL references. I thought NFL was (too) localized.

huh, that's a deleted Smokey message, I thought I could onebox it because I'm an owner of Charcoal HQ
 
Maybe it's mod-only?
 
... oh, wait, I can still onebox it in the room itself

Hi
this morning when I connected the site via university, I was able to ask questions, but now that I am at home I can't ask question and ban still is there!
is it a bug?
Hello!
Could anyone please help me?!
 
@Ahmad Did you manage to log in at the university?
 
Yes I logged in
However I yet didn't ask anything, just as I tested it tonight, the result was different than the morning in university
 
Ok, so it's not your account.
 
Or that wasn't my account
 
Did you get any votes in the mean time? And you're not on a shared network with other accounts at home, right?
 
7:27 PM
I think in the university, another gmail was logged in, my sister
and I was logged out when I checked SO, then it asked me to login
I selected login with gmail,
 
Is that university a family run business?
 
inb4 "I accidentally q-banned my sister, plz help"
 
lol, no just we two .. no
he is chemist, fortuantely doesn't need these stuff
sorry She
a window bygmail opened to ask me .... as I clicked accept
I was logged in, before I realize what is happening, the message apeared Welcome Ahmad!! and everything was mine
 
In any case it's unlikely to be a bug. And as far as I know the conditions are re-evaluated each time you attempt to ask a question. So something must have changed in the mean time that sees you banned again. Can't say if that's location or a downvote or whatever. But at least you're close to the edge.
 
7:31 PM
I thought maybe in university some cookies mismatch or something occured
 
[ SmokeDetector ] All-caps title: LOWER AND UPPER TRIANGULAR MATRIX by jliu on math.stackexchange.com
 
Yeah thats probable, that means that I just walk on the border of a singe vote?
 
Might be.
 
The banning algorithms is automated?
 
Yes
 
7:32 PM
Do you know how long I just walk on that thread? just because of some votes?!
 
Not a clue. The details aren't public.
 
But that's ..... not a good .... algorithm
However Thanks to SO, I didn't need much to ask more questions
Anyway now it doesn't matter, cause I had decided to not be banned again, not ask any question!
I hope one of you was banned to see what does your algorithm do who the minorities to get stuck behind it
 
@hichris123 I might have fixed it :(
 
Please ban Bart, for science!
 
You could start by kicking him?
 
7:40 PM
I am serious, until you haven't experienced it on yourself you shouldn't release it
 
@InfiniteRecursion I already post crap. But at least I limit it to the Tavern.
 
I find comical that everyone is having monologues :)
 
@rene No, I don't dare.
@Bart :D
 
Then be thankful that I pinged you now @Braiam
 
^
@Braiam Dance, you got pinged!

please one ping me

7:47 PM
please quiet him he is on my nerve!, As he dance I got banned again!
 
Blame @Bart !
 
Oops! really think of that ban system, It seems I just need some votes, can't ask any question to gain it and I must wait for years to catch that single vote, providing the other day I don't loose it, thats comic

@Ahmad See if you have old, downvoted/closed questions that you can improve.

> I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it's rubbish.
 
> I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it's urgent
 
@Bart ahaha that one made it in.
@InfiniteRecursion That makes it sound a little... mysterious. :D
 
@S.L.Barth I improved some of them, some of them for thousands time, some even got more down-voted as they became active, you can check them all are sane question. but anyone who think know the answer of a question vote it down
 
7:54 PM
> I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it's an answer looking for a question, and would probably be better as a blog post or similar
 
@Ahmad wrong response. "Really @S.L.Barth? Which ones? What could I do to improve them?"
 
> I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because no comment here.
 
I am eager to improve the quality of the site, but really got frustrated of this game
 
> I'm voting to close this question as off-topic just because.
 
You can always stop playing
 
7:55 PM
Thanks for the LOL @hichris123 :)
 
I stopped it for months,
just sometimes to rest I check this site,
Ok! Really? which ones? what could I do to improve them? should I start from now
 
@InfiniteRecursion no problem. :) There's plenty more where that came from.
 
> I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because It's not a question.
 
Sorry @InfiniteRecursion do you know anything else than closing questions?!
You know because I see you at the head of any list on any closed question
 
That's actually a very valuable contribution she's making then
 
8:00 PM
SURE!
 
@Ahmad 180 answers and near 4k, I would say I know a bit.
 
I'm looking at one of @Ahmad's downvoted questions, which is at -2 right now. I'd rather not link it because I'd like to help see if it can be improved, not bring down more downvotes on it.
 
I think in your view any question is closed unless the opposite proved
Thanks I check them, I hope it isn't the one I modified for 99 times
 
It has +5 / -7, and it's not a really bad question if you ask me.
Hm, this one only 14 times, but I'm afraid that is the one you mean then @Ahmad .
 
You know, one of them is really a very normal question, but when I get down-voted I did a mistake
I complained about the down-vote on meta
then some people seem didn't like my words and showed their opposition that way, I suspect it was what happened to it
 
8:04 PM
it could use a screenshot @S.L.Barth ?
 
@S.L.Barth Please, if you mean that, I got just out of idea how to improve it, I stated the problem in any language, method, way possible, I am not kidding

> I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it's rubbish.
 
@S.L.Barth myeah, it's not a brilliant question, but the counts are exaggerated.
 
Thank you @rene for editing
 
8:08 PM
Mostly I'm wondering "why would you want to scroll away from the caret in the first place". But that's beside the point.
 
Because the selected text is long, and the caret is on the end of the text, then some part of text remains invisible, I want to show it from start
 
Those custom close reasons seem to be primarily an invitation to be snarky
 
Excellent for me
 
In fact I had a textbox beside a listView, I listed paragraphs of text box in listview, so when the user select a paragraph in the listView the corresponding text be shown on the textbox
 
@Bart hey... not everyone is like that
 
8:10 PM
Oh geez, not that Braiam guy. He's so ... oooh ... nevermind
 
Comparing many trival question and considering the anwer, it was a good question
 
but ... he was dancing ... How did he cv? :O
 
Meanwhile you got an upvote on that quesiton @Ahmad. If that has lifted the ban, it;s probably better to stay away from that question, and avoid further downvotes.
 
But our hypothesis seems to be wrong @Bart, I gained some votes up but can't ask questions yet
 
8:13 PM
@Ahmad so you need more. I don't know the weight of events.
 
Never trust Bart ;)
 
But I could do this morning, even with lower reputation rate
 
It doesn't matter. Improve your content if possible. You will need to anyway to get further away from a ban. Remaining on the edge is never good.
 
@Bart Ok, but the hard part is - how? He's tried before.
 
I suspect that it was something with my sister account! and a bug or something, I am afraid I have distances away from the border
 
8:16 PM
@S.L.Barth language mostly. Poor first revisions are a problem however. Difficult to recover from that. I'll give them a look later on. But I don't want to bump too many of them. If I can't completely fix them I would only push him further into a ban.
 
@S.L.Barth I am not important, I am just a case, I am worried about the ban system
You can use my case, as a laboratory mouse ! to see what I wrote in an question on meta
 
Oh, I can just imagine what happened on Meta. I've seen it happen often enough.
 
yesterday as I was editing this question stackoverflow.com/questions/26486027/…, I got some more down-votes but the question is really important!
 
Don't imagine @S.L.Barth, look it up. I'm not saying it's all "justice", but it's a simple matter of poor quality posts, hindered by a language problem and the seeming need to keep talking rather than to fix and clarify. That tends to annoy people in my experience.
And no, that's not always fair.
 
8:26 PM
hallo, finished math homework due on tuesday.
(last tuesday)
 
No really, No ! don;t misunderstood! down-vote it, up vote it, keep me banned for months, these are not important now to me
I am just asking that how I got frustrated with the system
 
...
 
Maybe now I know the answer of that question, but when I wrote it it was a quesiton for me
 
Nobody is interested in keeping you banned for months. There is no positive in that. The site is only interested in you posting quality content. (And preventing you from not doing so). If you have anyone close to you who is a native (or proficient) English speaker, have them revise your posts for example @Ahmad.
 
I again check them, should be voted or just modifying them is OK?
i checked most of them
my English is fair? isn't. Then you tell me the site is mostly for English speakers?
 
8:32 PM
To get out of the ban? I'd say some outside evaluation needs to happen. And that would be voting, yes. But that's a guess. I don't know the details but it seems logical.
 
@Ahmad That changing the tilte of the question wasn't a significant change.... but I'm not sure what WOULD improve it.
 
I did the change just now, @S.L.Barth but yesterday and the other days I had more changes
 
The question did have some interesting answers.
 
To say your English is bad or terrible would be dishonest @Ahmad. But there is something about it that makes it difficult to understand on occasion. It's something all us non-native speakers have to get through, and you ultimately will, but for now it might (and that's a guess) negatively influence the evaluation of your posts.
 

Crypt of the Tavern: Spectator Lobby

Parties who are upset with other parties can take their behind...
Isn't this conversation better there?
 
8:36 PM
I'm not upset with other parties @bjb568. No fish slapping required.
 
yeah it had good answers which shows the question was not that bad, but its just voting, anyone who doesn't like something votes
 
I'm looking at the question about duplicate emails. Asking "what is the best way to ..." is often a close-vote magnet.
 
Myeah, one of those trigger sentences.
 
in Crypt of the Tavern: Spectator Lobby, Jan 2 at 23:41, by Unihedro
@bjb568 Ranting, complaining about users, resolving conflicts with other users.
@Ahmad That's what voting is for.
 
No rants, no complaints, no conflicts @bjb568. Unless you're telling us to stop it here.
Or is this because Inf and I wanted to use you as a means of payment @bjb568?
 
8:38 PM
@Bart I thot the complaint was that Ahmad was post banned?
 
*thought
 
@Bart :O
@Bart *thot
 
^ Jan
 
We just was talking that for months I am in the verge of a single vote @bjb568, then they should be get more serious
 
The question is very general. I'm not familiar with Laravel. Judging by the answers, Laravel has some mechanisms to keep track of which mails have been sent?
 
8:39 PM
I don't complain the votes, but the way how system just relays on them
@S.L.Barth, About that question, I just thought it should be a very common question, that you have a list of users who receive emails, you need a good algorithm, sql query, anything to avoid sending an email to a user twice, mails are sent regulary and some users join the system...
a good example as I wrote is a failure within a mass mail sending
@S.L.Barth, it may have some mechanism but I meant a database operation more, because everyday we should send some emails, for example then new users who joined the system should receive it , anyway I thought it must be very common and might have some good algorithms for it
Thank you that you consider my questions, regarding answers I think I could convey my meaning
 
If I understand the question right, there are two scenarios.
1. You tried to send a mass mailing, but something went wrong, and only some users got the mail.
2. You sent a mass mailing recently, but now new users have signed up, and they need to receive the mail as well.
 
True, indeed
 
For an example of case 2.... there is a change in the roster. The roster on the web site says that a particular class is on Tuesday, but it was moved to Friday.
 
You know, it's very bad for a website that a user receive an email twice! and also we need to keep track who received what
 
As I said, I'm not familiar with Laravel. So I don't know what e-mail support it has.
 
8:50 PM
No its not much related to Laravel
 
But for this quesiton, I thinkk a little more explanation would have helped.
 
I doubt laravel offer much for it
 
So, the database that kept track of the e-mail was built by you yourself?
 
Yes I can build the tables, add or edit columns, directly or via laravel
I just edited the question, adding the scenario yo mentioned
 
I think you should wait a bit with editing.
 
8:55 PM
sorry, right, as I read it again i replaced the senarios, but I agree should rethink it overal
 
I think what this question needs is a quick description of the database.
Well, only the parts that are relevant, of course.
 
But I asked it in a general way, maybe I shouldn't and another website was more suitable for it, but it happened long before
 
Yes, I think this question was a bit TOO general.
 
How about now? I edited it right now
