Background: TGMCians posted the animated GIF of the fox jumping in the snow in chat, and later, the image was posted several times and some people even added it to the "about me" on their profile. The fox G...
The question is not just about stopping spammers, as @cVplZ has already reminded. It is unfortunate that the discussion is being hijacked this way. — KrumiaNov 8 at 1:09
@cVplZ All the three users who answered you question have only posted one answer each on MSO ever. They chose your question to post their solo answers, you should be proud!!
@InfiniteRecursion yep. Is it worth it to post NAA's here? Like does it still need the 6 recommnend deletion in the LQ queue? No matter how many NAA flags it gets?
@cVplZ It needs 6 "Recommend Deletion" task decision to be review-deleted. You will not see review tasks which features posts you've flagged as VLQ / NAA.
Some websites, like Wikipedia, use an m. prefix to distinguish between the mobile and the desktop version. Mobile users often automatically get the mobile version when navigating to the desktop version, while desktop users usually don't automatically get switched when visiting the mobile version....
I once overlooked a field with some rabbits and said to myself I would be amazed if a fox would come out and grab a rabbit, 5 minutes later that was exactly what happened...
I once looked at a gif of a fox diving head-first into snow and said to myself I would be amazed if he did that again, a couple of seconds later that was exactly what happened...

I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to this but last year, Stack Exchange ran Winter Bash 2013, in which users earned hats which they proudly displayed upon their gravatar. There was a leaderboard of hat earners that looked something like this:
Well we have the option to do it again ...
@bluefeet The result is predictable, but the thread quickly became a mess. You posted two answers (yes and no) which I assume were supposed to be voted on. Instead, there are people posting their own answers in addition. So, it's impossible to tell how many actually support Yes or No, since votes may be split between synonymous answers; and at the same time some users may have upvoted both. Not to mention that some also downvoted some of the competing answers...
@Rafflesiaarnoldii yes that was the point of my 2 answers. I knew it would devolve into this, but thought we'd post it anyway instead of just making the decision
Yes @uni, I would downvote too. I don't care what the post is about, or what the authority of the poster is - shouting is rude, and nothing justifies rudeness.
Well, at least you didn't just implement a new feature, pretend to ask for feedback and then prevent people from leaving "-1 because..." comments ... talk about evil @bluefeet. :p
On that revisions page, didn't there used to be arrows that indicated you could expand/collapse a revision? Did that disappear with the redesign or has that always been in my head?
@Bart Because it got a lot of initial "Yeah, -1's are annoying!" before people actually thought about it and realized what problem Shog was actually trying to "solve".
@Bart Timezones. The number of folks to actually encounter the block more than tripled overnight. There are thousands of people who leave comments like that occasionally, but several hundred who do so frequently.

Let us not be pedantic to the exclusion of common sense.<br>**Posted:** This is a great question, even if it technically doesn't precisely belong precisely here. Let us not be pedantic at the expense of content which is both valuable and relevant. I clicked the upward pointy thing.
@JanDvorak As much as I hate it, there's no support for comment warnings in the system and building such would require way too many dev+design resources for something so trivial.
Given the way comment posting works, I'm highly skeptical that could even be done without ending up more annoying than a block.
If blocking doesn't produce good results, then there's no point in doing anything.
> - Attempted: What have you tried? Posted: Have you tried anything? (no)
Not bothering to filter by blacklist type, since frankly I think the reactions to the WHYT and LMGTFY blocks are interesting too, and I don't think we've ever had a public discussion of comment blacklist results before.
(Kevin did some analysis on the "Problem" block at one point, but that's post titles)
Whether you believe it or not, I've little interest in continuing this argument for the next n years if the tactic doesn't actually work. In particular, stuff like this is concerning:
> - **Attempted:** -1 in power 0.5 is i. So why can't you do that?<br>**Posted:** Regarding (-1)^2 doesn't exist: -1 in power 0.5 is i. -1 in power 2 is 1. So why can't you do that?
