An open letter to dear reviewer:

I was just led to amazement as I come upon a suggested edit review task which showed me "This item is not reviewable" in place of the typical messages, and the entire task was like an audit. And basically, it is an audit. Inevitably. Out of curiousity, I stayed on the page for another short while only to see that you failed this fantabulous audit that every reviewer dreamed to pass. You suck.
Yours faithfully, Unihedro

Q: Why does =+ not cause a compile error?

MarkusmooCame across someone mistakenly using =+ instead of += in their code and it didn't show up as a compile error. Is this because int a =+ 2; is the same as int a = 0 + 2; ?

what... that many upvotes.... how?!
 
@nicael because people are stupid

Always sad to see users leave though.
But well, you can't stop them
 
@Bart hmmm no not always...
 
4:47 PM
but since I don't see all that many users leaving anyways...
 
@Vogel612'sShadow I'd say always. Not that it isn't sometimes "better" or "inevitable".
But maybe I'm getting soft. Let me go downvote some new users without explanation.
 
you mean, those you'd be glad to see leave didn't leave of their own volition?

We’ve spent a good portion of the year trying to build out our teams to handle the increasing load of work here at Stack Exchange. A big part of this has involved bringing on new community managers: with both a larger number of sites *and* greater numbers of users on those sites, we hadn’t exactly been keeping up with the demand for help and guidance across the network. Tim Post signed on in the spring, followed by Jon Ericson, Gabe Koscky and Pops “Kevin” Chang.

ok, thanks :)
 
Go fix your own problems @Bart
 
I got a ping to chat from Ana, perhaps regarding some account deletion request I made yesterday on some SE site. I hope so, else it's scary :/
 
Don't fear the ping @InfiniteHappiness

4:59 PM
@InfiniteHappiness I never delete accounts.
 
@Bart Or do. It could be like being called into the principal's office.
 
That way I can vote and flag wherever I want.
 
@Andy It's Ana, not Anna. In the latter case I'd be afraid.
 
@Frank maybe not her own accounts ;)
 
@Frank and inflate your SE flair :P

I like to flag for communities if they need me, when they don't need my help any longer, I prefer to leave @Frank. Whenever a community needs me, I will be there to flag :)
 
I flag for people and don't even tell them I'm there...
No one actually 'needs' me.
 
I'll post a feature-request to have Community ping @InfiniteHappiness daily...
 
I agree, no one needs us. I flag if a site has issues visible from outside, after that I leave. You are right, they don't "need" us, maybe the word need was inappropriate to use. If I see something wrong, I join and try to help :)

Ana doesn't respond, I left the room. Maybe she pinged by mistake.

@Servy I can no longer engage with you on this subject. If you have specific complaints about my performance as a moderator, please take them up with the community team. It appears that any time I answer a question, you're there to criticize my actions. Not only do you disagree (which is OK), but you repeatedly leave comments to engage in further arguments about why I'm wrong and 'not doing my job'. For my own personal sanity, I can no longer engage in discussions in the comments with you, as you've taken it past 'clarification' and into a level that feels like harassment. — George Stocker ♦ 2 mins ago
