Hello thar

Shadow Wizard

Holla thar!

Who's thar?

@tha

anonymous2

@NiKoLaPrO Hi!

NiKoLaPrO

@anonymous2 how are you?

user340193

is this the main Meta chat room?

NiKoLaPrO

@ShadowWizard anything new? 😄

anonymous2

12:59

@NiKoLaPrO Grrreat, you?

NiKoLaPrO

@anonymous2 Great, just came back from school :D

anonymous2

@NiKoLaPrO Studying?

Or teaching?

Shadow Wizard

@MarkYisri no, the main Meta chat room is The Tavern.

SilentKiller

@ShadowWizard thor's sister. :D

Shadow Wizard

@Mark You can hang around here and ask questions here too, if you like though. :)

NiKoLaPrO

13:01

@anonymous2 No, i never do that, and i am in Germany now so only thing I am actually learning is language

Shadow Wizard

@NiKoLaPrO yup. I would be father to 3 in the end of February, if all goes well. :D

3

Wait.. you two know each other? @NiKo and @anon?

anonymous2

Not that I'm aware of. Of course, maybe we did and he gobbled me up so I don't remember it.

Or placed a spell on me.

NiKoLaPrO

@ShadowWizard Ohh, that's great!! Wish you all the luck! So is it boy or girl, and what about name? :D

anonymous2

I think we may have seen each other the other day and exchange a word or two.

@ShadowWizard Congratulations!

Shadow Wizard

@anonymous2 nah, spells are my realm. ;)

@NiKoLaPrO girl (unless a boy with, ehm, very small... you know... ;)) and we have few names in mind, will choose when the day comes. :)

@anonymous2 thanks! You got any?

anonymous2

13:10

@ShadowWizard Not yet. Not married yet. :) Looking forward to it though.

Got five nieces/nephews, and I just adore being with them...

Shadow Wizard

@anonymous2 oh. Good for you... how old are you? If I may ask.... ;)

anonymous2

Of course, it's not me who has to get up at midnight and two o'clock and four o'clock...

@ShadowWizard Early 20's.

Shadow Wizard

@anonymous2 oh, so same age as @Dro and @ber, nice!

@NiKo is younger and so is @Pro

@rene is about my age

anonymous2

Late 80's?

Shadow Wizard

@anonymous2 me? I was born in late 70's

anonymous2

13:13

Okay, so not far off.

Well, ten years all the same.

Shadow Wizard

1978 is the year the world got me into it. :P

NiKoLaPrO

Ohhh, I'm 16 actually

Shadow Wizard

@NiKoLaPrO I know, hence younger than @anon :)

Aren't you 17 already, @NiKo? Think you were 16 when first joining here.... or not?

NiKoLaPrO

@ShadowWizard Nah, I'm born at 3rd april, so i will be 17 next year :D

SilentKiller

i just born. :D

NiKoLaPrO

13:15

@SilentKiller Congratulations!

SilentKiller

thank you. where are the gifts then ? ;)

anonymous2

@SilentKiller We only give gifts at first birthday. Before that, we give gifts to the parents.

NiKoLaPrO

@SilentKiller Not sure, i was just about to send you one kebab but my dog ate it, that fluffy bastard

Shadow Wizard

SilentKiller

lol. :D

@anon i'll send you my address please parcel the gifts. :D

rene

13:18

@ShadowWizard thanks ;)

SilentKiller

@rene where is the ice cream ?

rene

!!> remove

NiKoLaPrO

@rene Hello human

rene

@FOX9000 !delete!

anonymous2

rene

13:19

@SilentKiller it melted?

@NiKoLaPrO Ola Bot

NiKoLaPrO

@rene No no, cat

Shadow Wizard

@anonymous2 pink?! @Sil is male! :D

SilentKiller

crap :D

anonymous2

That's the point.

Shadow Wizard

@rene oh, so you're older? lol

anonymous2

13:21

@ShadowWizard It used to be the style to dress boys in pink and girls in blue when they were babies.

Shadow Wizard

Sorry, forgot to give you earlier! :D

NiKoLaPrO

Ohhh children, should i make one?

SilentKiller

hahaha

rene

plenty

Shadow Wizard

@anonymous2 maybe long ago... not in my days as parent to babies.... :D

@NiKoLaPrO you can't do it alone... ;)

NiKoLaPrO

13:23

@ShadowWizard Yeah, but i have a gf, and 3 of them by side

Shadow Wizard

@NiKoLaPrO lol, so you might already have children, and more than one... you're really wild! :P

NiKoLaPrO

@ShadowWizard Hope not, still too young :'D

Q: Inline badge entry (conversion to graphic)

There are methods on meta sites when discussing tags to put them graphically into your question/answer (using brackets): discussion I am requesting that the same be implemented for badges: that it would be possible to use the syntax [badge:tenacious] and have the system automatically convert it ...

What do you folks think?

Argh! Not another dupe!

Okaaayyy, not quite the same, though probably a dupe anyhow.

NiKoLaPrO

Hehe dupe is ass on serbian

anonymous2

Well, if it's closed, it's closed. Live and learn is what they say. :)

NiKoLaPrO

13:33

anonymous2

@Sha I start to understand now. You're not a mod, but you can single-handedly close all questions except bugs. Neat!

And for that, you're only lacking 37 answers with a score of 241.

Shadow Wizard

@anonymous2 that is correct! I want to believe my closures are all correct, and when they're not, I can also single handedly reopen. :)

@NiKoLaPrO whoa, so I'm closing lots of asses..... rofl!!! :P

anonymous2

@ShadowWizard I guess it could be handy. This is the only site that works on, though.

Shadow Wizard

@NiKoLaPrO so protect yourself when possible! :D

NiKoLaPrO

@ShadowWizard wow, what does "dupe" even means? :O

anonymous2

13:40

Doesn't it mean to deceive or to lead into error?

Just a sec...

Shadow Wizard

@anonymous2 nope, dupehammer is on all sites, main and meta. e.g. @rene got dupehammer(s) on MSO. :)

anonymous2

@ShadowWizard Yes, but on meta.SE, you have to have one of four tags in your question.

Shadow Wizard

@NiKoLaPrO lol, shortcut for "duplicate", in SE-ish. :D

anonymous2

Whereas on other main sites, to get all the badges required to hit all the questions would be insanely difficult.

Shadow Wizard

@anonymous2 oh. Well, so it applies to all meta sites. :)

anonymous2

13:42

@ShadowWizard True, but apart from meta.SO.com, it would be difficult to get that high of a score.

Even on Ask Ubuntu there are only 4000+ questions.

Mathematics has 6,282.

Compare that with Meta.SE that has 80,308...

Shadow Wizard

heh, true.

anonymous2

Come to think of it, though, it complements the fact that there are no elected moderators for meta.SE.

rene

@ShadowWizard only discussion but I'm 13 answers short on support

anonymous2

Why are @Sha and @rene's names in italics?

rene

we're room owners here

anonymous2

13:49

Is that room owners?

Oh, ok.

:)

rene

Sha is the creator of the room

anonymous2

Another question I had is why my rep is so much lower in this room than in any other.

In other site rooms, the rep is calculated by an addition of all the sites together, but here, I appear to only have 235 rep total.

Shadow Wizard

@rene though it's not documented anywhere :)

@anonymous2 what @rene said, and moderators have their name in blue

anonymous2

@ShadowWizard Like, in the name? :)

@ShadowWizard That I knew.

Shadow Wizard

@rene good... what about feature-request?

@anonymous2 true, it does help greatly. :)

@anonymous2 no, it's not always possible to know who created a room.

rene

13:54

@ShadowWizard on FR I feel I can only write an answer if I disagree with the request. Beyond that I leave it for the dev/cm to answer when it gets implemented 6 to 8 weeks later

anonymous2

@ShadowWizard If he needs help with that one, I can dump on a bunch of feature-requests that will get lots of attention (downvotes) whereas the answers will get some ups. :)

@ShadowWizard How about here:

Apr 10 '14 at 8:08, by Shadow Wizard

Well, just thought to create it so I have a place of my own in the vast plains of Meta chat.

Shadow Wizard

@anonymous2 lol!

@anonymous2 heh, lol... most rooms won't have it. Well, I did come up with a way:

6

A: Who started a chat room?

You can follow these steps to find who created the room: (using The Tavern in my examples) Go to the "access" tab of the room: View the list of Owners: Go to the "general" tab, and search for messages containing "owners": Filter the results to get only messages by Feeds ...

anonymous2

@ShadowWizard I can't go lower than 1. :)

Shadow Wizard

but it's not 100% sure way either.

anonymous2

@ShadowWizard That's true.

rene

13:57

waffles

anonymous2

So why so many owners of this room, ie, how did they qualify?

Shadow Wizard

@rene pancakes!

anonymous2

@ShadowWizard With maple syrup...

Shadow Wizard

@anonymous2 lol, just for fun :D

anonymous2

@ShadowWizard Okay, gotcha.

Feeds

14:00

Shadow Wizard has added anonymous2 to the list of this room's owners.

anonymous2

Woah, there!

Shadow Wizard

Enjoy! :D

anonymous2

Well, um, thanks! <blushes>

Not really, btw.

Shadow Wizard

:D

anonymous2

Hmm, wonder what that does... ;)

Don't worry, I know better.

Shadow Wizard

14:03

lol

anonymous2

I wasn't sure whether I should highlight the kick-mute or the remove as room-owner.

Shadow Wizard

kick mute is very temporary, removing RO is, well, permanent... ;)

anonymous2

Yes, and even if someone put you back in, your proof of having been room starter would not work anymore.

Do pinned messages stay forever?

rene

Nope, 2 weeks I believe

Shadow Wizard

@anonymous2 heh, well, it will still be possible to know from this, but yeah, harder. :)

anonymous2

14:07

That's true. You could run through the whole list and figure out.

Shadow Wizard

@rene 14 days indeed, and moving the pinned message from room to room doesn't "reset" the time.

(that's what I tested here :))

anonymous2

You can move messages to another room?

Shadow Wizard

@anonymous2 indeed, though for major rooms like Tavern with hundreds of those messages it's not feasible...

anonymous2

Do you have to be owner in the move-to room as well?

Shadow Wizard

You can move to any non deleted and non frozen room.

(i.e. any room you can write a message in.)

Not sure about Gallery... @rene mind if I make a test on your "Log" room?

@anonymous2 nope, though only RO there will be able to move it back. :)

anonymous2

14:14

Okay, I just figured out why I was confused about RO and italics.

It's because the room I'm in the most is The Pitstop.

And the owner of that room is @Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2.

But I guess it's because of his font that the italics just don't show up.

I mean, the fact that his name is all in small caps.

Say, that sounds like a good meta post: Why is room-owner not in italics?

rene

@ShadowWizard yes, I mind

Shadow Wizard

@Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

@Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

hmm...

There is a small difference.

Hard to notice, but it's there.

anonymous2

Hmm, you're right. Well, check it out here and see what you think.

I would definitely say it's not in italics.

Shadow Wizard

oh, he's a mod on some SE site, so that takes precedence.

blue comes before italics, "overwriting" it.

anonymous2

On mechanics.SE, yes.

Shadow Wizard

14:21

i.e. moderator will appear blue, and the system won't check further if he's also RO.

anonymous2

That site's room.

@ShadowWizard Ahh... Gotcha.

Shadow Wizard

Mod on one site gets to be mod in all SE chat rooms.

anonymous2

@ShadowWizard Yep. In this particular case, it's the site room, but we do have other mods drop by from time to time.

Shadow Wizard

So any SE chat room (except MSE chat and SO chat) has hundreds of moderators.

anonymous2

I wonder if there is a post about this on meta already.

Hmm, I don't find anything.

Now if I posted it as a question under bug and @ShadowWizard you answered it, you would be closer to your gold hammer on bug... ;)

anonymous2

Q: Chat owner's name not in italics

I recently noticed in The Pitstop that the room owner, @Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2, doesn't have his name in italics, like most room owners do. Is this a bug?

bug chat room-owner

ProgramFOX

@ShadowWizard Shrug. WAG is hardly played, the site is hardly down. This is so low on my priorities list right now.

Shadow Wizard

15:31

@anonymous2 lol, that's what I did.. :D

anonymous2

There you are, and you're one closer...

Shadow Wizard

@ProgramFOX well, there were "spurts" of activity lately, though not anywhere near what it used to be. Oh well. :)

ProgramFOX

@ShadowWizard And don't forget these two things:

1. You are a developer.

2. The bot is open-source.

;)

Shadow Wizard

@anonymous2 that said, good chance a developer will retag this as support at some point.

anonymous2

Oops, Oded just edited the bug tag out. Apparently, this fits more in the category of support.

Shadow Wizard

15:32

@ProgramFOX 3. I'm not a python developer... :(

ProgramFOX

oh :(

Shadow Wizard

@anonymous2 heh, yeah... they do that a lot, I even do it myself with obvious cases. :)

Thanks anyway! :P

anonymous2

Thanks to you. I'm 5 closer to 100k. ;)

Shadow Wizard

lol

How you know it's me who upvoted?

rene

15:51

@ShadowWizard time to learn then. Just indent everything and you're good to go

Shadow Wizard

:D
