I think I can see myself as a Berkeley student more than as a Duke student.

The CS peeps are at Berkeley.

Ugh... I had a deja vu where I had another deja vu...

yo dawg, I heard you liked glitches in your matrix, so we glitched the glitches in your matrix...

Oh

Is penny in labour?

@JourneymanGeek I don't think so

Who's penny?

Or, whose penny?

...

Oh do keep up!

ah!

oops

@πάνταῥεῖ found a better and duplicate and thanks for the support.

@ShadowWizard or what?

@PrincessLuna or he'll p . . . Whoops, not Shadow's Den

Hello! I have a small question: what software do you use to automatically fix common spelling errors in posts? Afaik, the Chrome built-in spell check requires one to fix each spelling error one-by-one, and it also gives false-positives like PHP/CoffeeScript. Moreover, it isn't always sensible to look for spelling errors inside MathJax or code blocks. I found this, but has there been a better userscript? Like, one that wouldn't touch codeblocks/mathjax?

hmm

I mucked arounf with writeley for a bit but I think most of those things are not code aware

:-D

@JourneymanGeek this? techcrunch.com/2005/08/31/… seems to be pretty old :/

heh I think its still updated

oh

There's a userscript @GaurangTandon

Takes a lot of common errors and doesn't change code and quotes (probably not jax either, not sure as I haven't tried)

sd k

github.com/SO-Close-Vote-Reviewers/UserScripts/blob/master/…

Another userscript* didn't see the link ^^'

@PrincessLuna i think that's the same userscript as what I pointed out earlier :P but, that repo of userscripts seems quite useful, so I'll check that out :)

It's slightly different from it though. More features and stuff

._.

meta.stackexchange.com/questions/309289/zimbra-mail-server pity this isn't on the right site cv-plz

the answer is literally to type yes.

@PrincessLuna oh, I didn't notice, you're right. Installing!

@JourneymanGeek based on that other screenshot it look like they didn't install perl

Also possible

When certain posts get updated I always wonder if something is going on ...

@PrincessLuna you don't want to know!

@Shadow I believe I am quite good in smelling something as well:

Sent a mod flag: This user is probably the same as german.stackexchange.com/users/31811/hussien-chahin and avoiding question block. The last question from the original user (as of current writing) was 20 hours ago, and this user started asking questions since 18 hours ago. Also, this user was created after the suspected question ban came. Could it be investigated?

@HTTPS I refrained sending a mod flag so far. But as that OP announced to flag my comments for violating the be nice policy, I probably don't even need to do so :-)

sd tpu

sd why

@bro why?

THX for the explanation

sd tpu

Friendly advice, use tpu- (dash after command) to supress Smokey's reply to reduce the clutter :)

sd why

????

@πάνταῥεῖ undirected ping command will be applied to the latest messages. It doesn't look up to the last report. So Smokey's "why" explanation and "that message is not a report" were... not a report ._.

@SmokeDetector f

@HTTPS Silly me :-/

@πάνταῥεῖ practice makes perfect ;p

@bro Just so you know, Smokey now has a reason mechanism for manual reports. It works like this: !!/report [link] "[reason here]"

Hmm... after thinking a little more about the recent "anonymous vs biased action", it might be true after all... using Japanese looking user name on Japanese.SE might give advantage if not unsupervised. Learners/beginners could believe anything what they say even if it's wrong until other experts point it. This might be amplified on smaller sites.

... me using Japanese name on Anime.SE could be deceiving... hmm...

^ when answering question requiring Japanese knowledge

@HTTPS Well, after deciding to do so at least, the mod flag was marked helpful and a number of comments were removed. I believe the mods at this site are slacking a bit, but who am I to really judge their decisions , or what they came up with research. Anyways that was quite obvious for me.

Not to mention that there are only 3 mods active at that site.

@πάνταῥεῖ my mod flag also got marked 'helpful'. No visible action, but maybe the user got a mod message.

@bro like, "This username smells like jQuery lover! Insta-upvote!"

@HTTPS "but maybe the user got a mod message." Could well be. @HTTPS

@bro and close votes, and certainly delete votes...

@πάνταῥεῖ :

@bro 754 Qs vs 24 As

tf

O' tempora, o' mores :P

@bro it is easy

@rene 11k of that assuming no rep cap

but even then, with over 700 questions and 87k rep you'd expect that person to know those kinds of questions are off-topic

hypothetical snark comment: FYI, current Stack Overflow is not the same as Stack Overflow 9 years ago.

additional "Please take the [tour] once again"

@PrincessLuna glancing over the other questions I have no idea why you think they would know by now.

Meh

How about flags @bro?

Lots of stuff in SOBotics

yeah, that's annoying

Annoyer, annoyee

(time to sleep, 💤)

@GaurangTandon Brain 2.0 - awesome software.

:D

Why is a bare link to idownvotedbecau.se accepted as the only content of a comment? I know it's Will's site, and one-flag deleteable, but...

@hichris123 why won't it be accepted?? Was it blacklisted at some point?

I mean, we can flag it, but no need for auto block IMO.

Personally I really dislike this site and the idea to throw it on users, but still...

It's like saying "you suck, go [here, here, and here] to see why"

@ShadowWizard It is accepted, that's the question here

It's not blacklisted

lmgtfy is though

I don't think it should be... it's bad but not THAT bad.

@hichris123 and it's accepted because the combined length of the URL > 10, which makes it a valid message. They're not gonna block link-only comments because, well, they're comments.

Maybe worth raising meta discussion on MSO about it.

Since SE team officially nuked "What Stack Overflow Is Not" project, there's a chance they will blacklist this one as well... who knows.

I guess what hichris means is the bare link idownvotedbecau.se, not the more precise link with reasons like idownvotedbecau.se/beingunresponsive?

In that case, it's almost the same as "I downvoted you because I'm lazy to explain it"

@HTTPS need AI to detect those things

Train it what links are "bare", and what links are valid.. will take 6-8 thousands years or so. :D

(and I couldn't sleep.)

@HTTPS I was referring to both, but the former especially. I just did a quick SEDE search, and there are 2562! comments with that link. Most of which have the link and nothing else.

@HTTPS still got that nasty cold? :(

Tea is better in that case...

@ShadowWizard already healed :) but couldn't sleep as usual...

oh

But... coffee cause one to stay awake... usually.

To be honest, I can't understand how one actually falls asleep... one moment I'm still awake, then after a second I'm not. Looks like magic to me. ;)

And another moment, half awake in lucid dream :O

This takes a while, I think, but yeah.... sometimes I remember my dreams. :)

(usually the bad ones, but not only...)

Like compare:

with

The first one is much more actionable -- the second one is a variation of "I downvoted, click to see why!"

Read also: April Wensel's link on the star wall

Yeah, that's actually what encouraged me to look for comments like that.

@hichris123 Also, occasionally I may want to link to that site without casting a downvote, but because of the domain name I'm bound to cast a downvote even though I give the link a friendly title (because of its contents).

Well, we can create a new site with the same system without that domain name...

@SonicWizard Yeah, I think stuff like that should be incorporated into the help center or something -- maybe open up the help center to community contributions.

^ or that, or a canonical meta for reasons to downvote

Yep, and I'd maybe even suggest moving away from "this is why I downvoted" to "this is how you can improve your post if <X>" type things.

@HTTPS bah, she complains too much. And as for the gender distribution differences, the tech sector is dominated by males on a global scale.

Is the new feature to ask a question about one's own post on a per-site meta even without 5+ rep enabled on Stack Overflow? It was rolled out to all sites except Stack Overflow a while back, but was it ever later enabled on Stack Overflow?

@Shog9 - Hai, someone is mercilessly spam downvoting my posts at StackOverflow, I raised a flag but no avail, can you help?

oh, good for him :)

@JonEricson perhaps you could help?

@bro This is day 2.

Ony one of them was reversed, out of 11.

@TravisJ Not quite 24 hours. I expect they'll be reversed next time the check is run.

@JonEricson - It is a group, same people each time. I am hoping for more than jus a rep reveral.

Morning

@TravisJ Use the contact form please. (Thanks!)
