Q: FAO: Sotirios Delimanolis, Shog9

why the delete of this question. Was it because the "meta effect" went feral? In which case, it should be undone. Before it was marked as a dupe, it was a good question attracting upvotes. Then one person decided it was a duplicate and well, when I asked why it was a dupe on meta it gained abou...

user163250

Oops.

Awesome Poodles

@hichris123 Not spam. Link seems okay. Just link-only answer.

user163250

I prematurely hit the delete button. Oh well.

CRABOLO

omg... I just got multimillion idea

starting my own show called "chat room rescue"

where i help failing chat rooms like the tavern get cool again..

well, i still think it cool but so many people have left... :(

So I predict that we'll be seeing another Meta rant within the next 24 hours from Mr. Fallout Boy there about why his last Meta question was deleted.

CRABOLO

can someone ask question to see if they starting to work on hats yet

user163250

You mean holiday hats?

CRABOLO

it making me nervous that they doing all these other projects , hope they don't half-ass hats

hichris123

@CRABOLO Probably, but there's been no announcement. Look for meta posts in late November -- that's when it happened last time. ;)

Could I get a few close votes on stackoverflow.com/questions/33298421/…?

user163250

Need mod.

@Doorknob, you around?

@ᔕᖺᘎᕊ, @TimStone?

Nothing crucial, just a question.

user163250

If it's not crucial, why not just ask a meta question?

Wad Cheber

@Cupcake Not crucial, but acute, if that makes sense, and discretion/privacy is useful.

@Cupcake I would also be willing to ask you, if you don't mind, to broaden my range.

But I still need to talk to a mod about, preferably one from puzzling.SE.

Anyone feel like answering a simple question?

Awesome Poodles

Shoot. YMMV.

Wad Cheber

I recently joined puzzling. My first two questions were Beatles-related puzzles. When I asked my third question, which was about David Bowie, someone almost immediately figured it out because he knew, from the first two, that I like rock.

Awesome Poodles

Okay. What's the problem?

Wad Cheber

2:49 AM

I started a fake account in my dog's name to ask a fourth, because it, too, was about the Beatles. Is this an acceptable use of a sock puppet?

This account will never vote.

Awesome Poodles

Given other SP's I've seen, that's probably okay. Just don't cross vote or tag-team vote and you should be okay.

Wad Cheber

I was just trying to avoid asking another Beatle question on my main account, because people associate it with Beatles.

Awesome Poodles

PS: Maybe just make your next puzzle about GWAR? ;)

Wad Cheber

@AwesomePoodles I introduced Mos Eisley Chat to Gwar's Get Out of My Dreams (Get Into My Car)/Baba O'Reilley mashup last night.

Awesome Poodles

Saweet!

Doorknob

2:53 AM

@WadCheber yeah, why?

Wad Cheber

And read about Vulcatron's bitter split with the band.

Doorknob

Oh, never mind, read the above conversation. Yeah, that's perfectly fine :)

Wad Cheber

@Doorknob Great, thanks so much!

@Doorknob Capy Stenchbeast is me.

Doorknob

No problem! Here's a relevant meta post:

A: I am a sockpuppet, may I exist if I have a real purpose?

I haven't been banned for it yet. And only a small handful of my accounts have been unceremoniously deleted. So I say, go for it! To clarify: I do stupid, dodgy stuff with my sockpuppets, including (but not limited to) posting bogus answers, impersonating other users, impersonating other sockpu...

@Doorknob I read either this or something like it, but I wasn't sure if an account intended to deceive was okay, despite the fact that it won't vote on anything but answers to its questions.

Although I think the deception in question is common to all socks - i.e., make people think I'm not me.

Doorknob

2:59 AM

Yeah, as long as you're not cross-voting, and as long as you're still following all the regular rules of the site, there's no problem with having a sockpuppet. Here's mine :P

Alright, thank you both, I'm going back to doing stack crap until I sleep. Have a good Sunday!
