I'll always remember that pig's face as one I'd just love to use to pattern my shotgun.

You know, recently I've learned that calling cops pigs offends vegans almost as much as it offends cops (if they had the brain capacity to comprehend offense at least).

@forest well, if you keep using language you know is inflammatory... it can happen

Not sure what language that is. I did say the f-word though. That might be it.

That might be it, yes

Funny how it only seems to get noticed if I'm also talking about gov'ts.

Must be some gov't apologist lurking!

No, the NSA is not flagging your posts. I think.

lol I didn't realize how conspiracy that sounded

Yeah I didn't mean a gov't was doing it. :D

shrug I'm currently trying to work out this insanely cheap chinese tablet I picked up and broke about half a dozen times in the past few days ;p

lol

Booting by compiling a kernel in real-time.

That's cool.

hm

@JourneymanGeek Does the system automatically flag curses?

Or would it have to have been flagged initially by someone in the room?

:D

@forest I don't think chat matters enough for automatic flags

that said... this has happened to you a few times...

Well most of the times it's happened in here because I've been pushing buttons.

So it must be someone in the room then, huh.

Well, pushing buttons is bad ;)

true lol

So it can't be you because your flags are binding as a mod (I think?) and it can't be me or the other guy I was talking with. That leaves two possibilities.

1) You shouldn't have said that

2) SE chat is terrible for ranting about politics.

What?

;)

The f-word?

Well, clearly someone was offended, politics or not.

Yuuuup

Well it could be an unofficial bot

I know of a few folks who also....

Nah, there aren't any bots in the relevant room.

well tend to flag stuff like that

There are literally only two other people who I can't say didn't flag it.

I can't think of anyone who would

@ArtOfCode Hey, patterning shotguns is very important!

Gun safety first, man!

Anyway, going on a witchhunt over who flagged what isn't the right way to go about things.

sure

@JourneymanGeek Nah just curious to know who the gov't apologist is.

Since I curse a lot and it only happens if I'm talking about that. :P

@forest or someone who dosne't like harsh language or someone who just happened to see it or ALIENS

Prolly aliens

4 more minutes

SE should move to IRC so this isn't so hard. :P

eh. Getting a chat server up is easy

getting people to it is trickier ;)

Web chat. Qwebirc.

Most people won't even know the difference.

Oh I don't mean the access - I mean actually building a community

Migrating a community is generally (sorta) painless.

At least when everyone is already visiting the same link.

Well its a matter of what gets them to move

and replacing the folks who leave

there's a few communities that moved partially out

they didn't really thrive

It wouldn't work unless SE did it. Like, actually did a site-wide redirect.

@JNat thanks!

@forest and why would they?

SE chat is perfectly good for most needs

To make it easier for me to ban evade.

snort

I have like a thousand bots that I can't put to good use here. :(

Just set up a hard redirect from chat.*?

Yeah, to a qwebirc web client.

Though I do find that client to be buggy at times.

But it's the only popular one out there.

:/

Why did I ever take you off ignore? I'll go find something else to do. ciao

What are you talking about??

@ShadowWizard Journey just banned me after removing a discussion I and someone else was having about whistleblowing (in a relevant room). What a patriot, huh?

I get that he doesn't like me but... jeeze.

Now watch as I get banned for saying that. :D

Which should be fine since I'm getting off soon anyway, but still.

@ShadowWizard Other room drama shrug

Yeah. Pretty much removing something on-topic because Journey didn't like the topic itself (it was a pro-whistleblower discussion talking about e.g. Snowden).

@JourneymanGeek For confirmation, can I flag posts if people are talking about subjects which make me uncomfortable?

@forest So... someone flagged something which I strongly remember you had issues with before.

@JourneymanGeek Well I get removing the f-word...

I moved stuff pending being able to talk to the local mods. Then you went off on a rant about me being puritian.

I mean I think it's an overreaction, but I get it.

@JourneymanGeek No, the puritan comment was for someone else.

Essentially I'd love to help keep you out of trouble you keep insisting on diving head first into.

At the time, I thought it was one of the two people who weren't talking in there who had flagged it (either because they were a govt apologist or because they were a puritan). But then, rather than removing the comment with the f-word, you removed a polite and calm discussion about whistleblowers. I take serious offense to that.

shrug

Deal with it.

As long as there's no hypocrisy. I see plenty of posts that make me uncomfortable.

cough new room cough

As I said, I'm going to check with local mods. If you feel somehow I'm overstepping my boundaries as a mod, feel feel to complain appropriately.

@JourneymanGeek I will, but tomorrow (I'm not waiting out those 2 hours).

taking anti cough pills

I don't really think folks want it here.

Well you did decide to ban me from all chats except this one. :/

Yeah... so Imma trash it.

@Tinkeringbell Fair enough
