I don't agree that it's not a svn problem! When you delete a file it means you are going to delete it but it's very likely that you want to commit these deletions later. When you update you "update"! Why should it do other things? Why should it cancel any of your local modifications?
@Unihedro yeah, it took me a while before I mentally wanted to answer that question and ignore the rudeness of the OP... judge the post not the OP is hard now and then...
@bummi, can't view it now on SU user has been deleted. Not sure if you caught what I meant but someone did a retag-only edit on the spam to change the only tag to "health"
@Sam thanks anyway, was just trying to determine if "Trogdor the Burinator" was born on Stack or what. (notice: I am not speaking of Trogdor per se, I am referencing the Burinator title)
We seem to have a tradition of using the Homestar Runner character 'Trogdor the Burninator' to request tag deletion.
I thought we could use crisper images, so I made my own. >:)
I don't like the word. It looks too much like "Urinate". I wish that didn't appear on my screen on many of my visits to SO. Can we come up with a different name for this?
@J.Steen pearl is better. but actually I prefer more code that I can read and understand and easily change than one line I need to work really hard to dechiper and later change.
I wonder if someone should suggest sh.st for a block or whatever it's called? Can't see a legimitate reason it should ever be used when it's pay per click.

@ProgramFOX To add an automatic term, use ">>auto-b-(a/qt/qb)-(lq/spam/off/name)(-p) {regex-term}". Use "-p" if the change should persist past the bot's restart.
Some tags such as discussion and retag-request have, or should have, the same wiki across MSE and all per-site metas.
I propose that tags can be whitelisted here on MSE to have their wikis copied to all per-site metas. This could be done either

Today I wrote up a self-answered question (stackoverflow.com/questions/28538445/…) and I noticed this before - the community does not seem to be so happy about them. I know I only have 2 downvotes in total but I saw it before on other questions. Why is that?
Self-answered questions aren't exempt from any sort of quality control or rule. The community votes as the community wills. I'm merely theorising on reasons for downvotes, as they're anonymous.
This is a common problem with self-answered questions. The question is usually lacking because it's written as a reaction to the answer, not vice versa.
MScript is absymal. It shouldn't even be called a language, and it's honored to even be mentioned in this discussion which languages are poor and which are good.
I bet to have even made a hello world program out of it I have to plead my soul to the dark side and give up all my wealth for no legitimate reason. I hate it for all cause and will avoid it like the plague. Were it within my power I would destroy every copy of its compiler and engines.
I'm a regex newbie, but I understand how to match any characters in a regex query in order (ex. [abc] will match any of a, b or c. Also, I believe "abc" will match abc exactly).
However, how do I construct a regex query that will match all the characters abc in any order? So for example, I wan...
