Someone else post a message.

user259867

Here? Okay. Sundays are fun because I run out of close and downvotes the fastest.

hichris123

@CareBear Why do you run out of close & downvotes faster on Sundays?

user259867

Because much math homework is due Monday, and is being frantically dumped on Math.SE on Sunday nights.

hichris123

okay, post another message

user259867

9:15 PM

Math gets more questions per day than Super User, Server Fault, Ask Ubuntu and Unix & Linux ... combined.

hichris123

Okay. Me looks at why chrome bug might be happening... sigh

@CareBear Are you using Chrome? When I post a message, do you notice the bottom of your browser window "jump" a little?

user259867

I am using Chrome, but the window is full-size, so I don't see it jumping.

user259867

Resized now, go ahead and post.

hichris123

It's full size for me too.

user259867

Okay, then I don't know what "bottom of window" means. In any case, I see nothing unusual. Chrome 38 / Win7

hichris123

9:18 PM

Hold on, lemme get a screen capture thingy up.

user259867

BTW You could test it in a room with more messages coming in, C++ or something...

user259867

(would not take as long to wait for a message)

hichris123

eh, true.

Post a message when you're ready.

rene

no repro @hichris123

rene

9:20 PM

IE11 works and chrome does the same

hichris123

ok, one more message.

rene

are you sure it isn't a plugin?

hichris123

No, it's not.

rene

Now we are curious

hichris123

How do you upload a video?

rene

9:22 PM

uhuh? youtube?

hichris123

Have to encode it first though, but...

@rene nah, something else.

rene

@hichris123 if you encode it I guess you can drop it in pastebin?

hichris123

okay, video encoding hated me, so I'm just using pictures.

See the little white line at the bottom?

It's a bit bigger of a difference, lemme get a better frame.

bjb568

Yosemite + Macbook Air: Face the sun so that it shines on the backside of the screen part, press ⌥⌘⏻ (option-command-power) – looks kewl

rene

@hichris123 Are we discussing a rendering glitch of your video driver?

hichris123

9:31 PM

@rene Doubtful -- it hasn't done anything like this until now, and I haven't updated drivers in the past... year maybe?

I'm betting it's Chrome's fault. I'm running dev (40).

garage clean

@Undo !!/pull

@Undo good job

Where's @ProgramFOX?

Asleep maybe?

9:32 PM

SmokeDetector

@hichris123 Something went wrong when registering title as true positive.

Q: Stack (Overflow|Answers)

So, I've found I particularly egregious SCRAPER called Stack Answers (I'd provide a link to their main page, but I don't want to give them any more visits than I already have). Here's the site description: [Stack Answers] is a site for Questions & Answers for professional and enthusiast prog...

The best part is the URLs.

Take any Stack Overflow question's URL and put "answers" in the place of "overflow."

hichris123

@AstroCB could you post a message plz?

AstroCB

@hichris123 A message of?

hichris123

@AstroCB just anything. One more, please.

bjb568

HALLO

Can I halp too?

AstroCB

10:15 PM

Wow, two close votes already. That was quick.

hichris123

@bjb568 yeah, just say Hi... now.

bjb568

Hi... now.

hichris123

ok, thanks.

AstroCB

Wow; they scrape fast.

Nearly instantaneous.

Go to the realtime page, click on any question (even the newest) and change "overflow" in the URL to "answers."

bjb568

vwow

(for lack of triple-u character)

AstroCB

10:20 PM

27 seconds is the record (it's probably faster, but I couldn't find a question asked more recently than that).

AstroCB

10:35 PM

Who downvotes a question reporting a Stack Exchange plagiarist? I think that sometimes people just like playing with the buttons.

animuson

Oooo I earned Citizen Patrol on MSO.

AstroCB

@animuson For what post was it useful for a moderator to flag rather than perform the action directly?

animuson

@AstroCB meta.stackoverflow.com/a/274833

AstroCB

@animuson Deleted.

animuson

Well, of course it's deleted. I flagged it as offensive. :P

AstroCB

10:42 PM

I see.

animuson

I had this insane idea that offensive-nuked posts on Meta still triggered the -100 penalty on the main site. Apparently I was wrong.

user259867

Q: Offensive/Spam flags on meta should affect reputation on main

I just dive-bombed an answer on meta.physics.SE (I moderate Physics.SE, so the flag is binding) with an offensive flag. When this is done on the main site, the user loses 100 rep. (see http://meta.stackexchange.com/a/22175/178438) Shouldn't meta-offensive-flagging have a penalty attached as well...

feature-request status-declined flags spam offensive

animuson

Heh, another one of Lance's highly upvoted and completely useless "I agree" answers.

AstroCB

@animuson Bounty, too.

animuson

10:54 PM

I need to answer more [bug] questions so I can get that last gold tag badge.

hichris123

@animuson What was the answer?

user259867

Finally, a volunteer to moderate Bitcoin. One acquired, four to go.

user259867

@hichris123 The answer to the question oneboxed above, I suppose.

hichris123

@CareBear I was talking about the one he flagged as offensive.

SmokeDetector

@hichris123 If you still wanna see it.

hichris123

@animuson +1 great answer! :P

animuson

@animuson Please read the section entitled "Voting is different on meta". You are long out of date. — Izkata 27 mins ago

^ I thought that was pretty funny.

Because I've totally never read that page before.

hichris123

Never. Mods don't need the help center.

Undo

Ever

Mods are more helpful than the help center, unless they don't feel like being so

ento is the most active tester of SO in Japanese... and the profile says "working on becoming fluent in Lojban". So I suppose "SO in Lojban" is not too far out in the future...

Undo

SO in Japanese? That's a thing?

WHOA IT IS

I'm so behind the times :P

user259867

@Undo ja.stackoverflow.com or jp.stackoverflow.com -- two URLs.

Undo

But it doesn't show up on area51.stackexchange.com/?tab=beta

user259867

Yes, there was never a proposal for it (AFAIK). A top-down initiative of SE team.

Undo

so how do I get in?
