What's up? Why names are running away from their owners? Why this whitespace? By the way, I understood the reason of this bug ;) Is it related to hatz, because name should be moved depending on how you align your hat. And it is being tested now :) So it was because of redesigning profile ...

please close as can no longer be reproed. I voted to close some time ago, but nobody closed it.

rene

@nicael Isn't that due to the new profile test?

nicael

@rene exactly, so I asked it to be closed.

rene

oh, duh you stated that

I'm no longer part of the cv mob...

And guys, btw, did you know this trick: meta.stackexchange.com/help/privileges?userid=2963652? Any user id. It isn't private of course, but :)

Shadow Wizard

@nicael nope, it was valid back at the time of report and turns out it's by-design. Better to have it re-tagged as status-bydesign. The "can't be reproduced" should be used much less than it's being used now in my opinion - you can say that each and every bug that was fixed or by design "can't be reproduced".

@nicael what is the trick? I just see the privileges page

@rene on MSE? Stack Overflow? Both? :(

nicael

@ShadowWizard now, whose privilege page you see?

Shadow Wizard

@nicael my own, as far as I can tell. All checked.

rene

@nicael why not add it here

Shadow Wizard

@nicael same with my sock, I see only privileges I have. Maybe it's a mod-only "trick" to let them see what privileges a user got.

rene

2:10 PM

@ShadowWizard not for me, if I enter userid=1 I get a different result

nicael

^^^^^^ By entering different ids I see prigs of different users.

rene

@ShadowWizard well, I was taken off-guard by the rant of Ben Voigt

Shadow Wizard

@rene weird.... but for me there's nothing different in there.

rene

Maybe you should become an established user first...

Shadow Wizard

@rene Ben who? where?

@rene 40k rep isn't enough? :D

nicael

2:12 PM

@ShadowWizard Ok. Try meta.stackexchange.com/help/privileges?userid=263510. I see privs of Matthew Haugen there.

rene

@ShadowWizard see this meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/278092/…

Shadow Wizard

@nicael oh, this one works

@rene hmm... well, I was never a big fan of the cvplz requests myself, but also don't think it's that bad. If you feel like it's helping to clean the place up, don't stop just because someone is against it.

@rene better here in my opinion, as it's more a hidden feature than unlinked page. /cc @nicael

and it's already "reported" :)

A: Hidden features of Stack Exchange?

View other users' privileges page by visiting /help/privileges/user/<id> URL. This page is accessible without any restrictions which seems to be by design. Came to know about this feature from a post made by animuson.

rene

@ShadowWizard What struck me as odd was that a high-rep user post such non-researched rant while he doesn't frequent any chatroom where the cv-pls mob is playing their game. Worst of all in his search the SO Close voters room popped up as the first hit....

Shadow Wizard

@rene yeah, maybe he was just upset he's not part of the game

lol, wonder if @DroidDev will be able to find last word now :-P

nicael

@ShadowWizard So there is another form of this :) I used ?userid=..., while this is /user/...

rene

2:24 PM

@ShadowWizard I was so tempted to write a response to send him back to the Lounge<C++> ....

Shadow Wizard

2:47 PM

@nicael yeah, there's URL mapping so it's the same

@rene I'm pretty sure he wouldn't really love such a response ;)

rene

@ShadowWizard yeah, wasn't worth the fight...

There couldn't be any answers to this question because this question was put on hold by Doorknob.

This is the right answer, no?

Q: Beta site degrading in quality, per-site Meta discussion reveals that it's not perceived as a issue; what more can I do?

A beta site is slowly getting worse, in both questions and answers. The Meta for that site shows to me most users do not care about the quality of the site and would much rather focus on sillier things, such as boosting their questions to the top of the Hot Questions list, letting users post low...

discussion support beta-sites quality

@nicael looks like he's right ^

@rene nope, was trying to get a spell from the bot.

Looks like I was tricked :(

OMG..... can it be he's using a fake name?!

László Papp

László Papp (March 25, 1926 – October 16, 2003) was a Hungarian boxer, born in Budapest. A southpaw, he won gold medals in the 1948 Summer Olympics in London, the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki, and the 1956 Summer Olympics held in Melbourne, Australia. In his final Olympic competition, he beat José Torres for the gold medal, to become the first boxer in Olympic history to win three successive gold medals. There would not be another for 20 years. == Amateur career == Papp was an Olympic gold medalist three times, at middleweight in London in 1948, then as a light middleweight in Helsinki in 1952...
