@RebeccaChernoff: Do the moderator notifications for new meta questions go away if the question gets closed? Or does it still show up and bother you so you go "ahhh it got closed such a waste of time"?
nods But it's OK, as long as everyone is distracted from outstanding Data Explorer and Election Stats sites issues until I can finish up this "work" nonsense and get back to it... >_>
I know we're kind of in the later stages of this, but can we update how tag wiki reputation is displayed in the reputation history? Currently, it looks like this:
This is, obviously, not very specific. You have to click through to see what tag wiki (or excerpt) it's talking about. Can we get t...
Proposed Q&A site for people who run forums, IRC channels, give talks, etc. This is for the squishier questions. Hard questions about moderation software should still be on Stack Overflow or Super User.
The main thing we should be asking ourselves is whether knowing when somebody else is typing will really have a significant enough impact on our behavior.
Because that's really what the feature is for on other sites that have it—when someone else is typing, especially in a heated conversat...
this answer is pure insanity
i can't believe i wrote this wall of text
i was just telling cody gray to include a tl;dr on his posts
Wow I haven't logged into my website's mail client in 27 days o.o haha. Probably because my alert lets me mark as read, and most of it is like "eh, whatever" things that I just mark as read and continue what I was doing.

I'm going to be giving a TED Talk at a TEDx event my school is helping coordinate. The subject of my talk is "technology as a medium for education." I say education in relation to Stack Exchange because people do come here to teach, but beyond that, this is also about technology as a medium for l...
@jadarnel27: I was actually more distracted waiting for this: You've earned the "Great Answer" badge for Upcoming Reputation History Changes. See your profile.
They are example questions after all, aren't they? Why do they affect your reputation on Area 51?
Even if an example question is downvoted, why punish the user with -2 reputation for it? It's excellent that example questions get downvoted in the definition phase; otherwise, we'd only know what k...
Since the learning experience is vital, especially for Javascript, I'll guide you in the right direction.
First, you should look into event binding and mouse event handling with jQuery. You can do some powerful stuff with this knowledge, including what you would like to do.
Second, look into ba...
The home page is cluttered enough, what with the tag and user card flyouts. I think that complicating it further would just be overdoing it. You already get the question preview in the tooltip when you hover over the question link. Since the first few sentences should be the most important, that ...
The +15 reputation you get for an accepted answer will never count towards the daily limit. From my quick-scan of your reputation thus far today, you're currently sitting at exactly 200 / 200 (because of the downvote) for the reputation cap. Any +15's you get for accepted answers are not consider...
Lol that's the only answer I have at 9 :P I have two questions at 9 though ><
hey @jadarnel27 thanks for your help. Joining on the votes table didn't work as it tried to get all answers which has SOME vote. (Accepts or scoring) I did a different join : data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/62812/…
SELECT a.Id as [Post Link], a.Score, a.CommunityOwnedDate, a.postTypeId, a.AcceptedAnswerId, q.AcceptedAnswerId as [AnswerID] FROM Posts a left join Posts q ON a.Id = q.AcceptedAnswerId WHERE a.OwnerUserId = ##UserId## and a.postTypeId = 2 and a.score = 0 and q.AcceptedAnswerId is null
I've noticed that someone lost 420 reputation on an SE site yesterday, with the explanation "voting fraud reversed". I wonder what this could be caused by. The person in question is a well respected and very active regular of the site, and I am sure there was no planned fraud.
Is there some automatic detection for when someone gets too many votes?
@YiJiangsProble_ Is it advisable to ask about specific situations on meta when there hasn't been any fraud? The thing is that big red -420 is damaging to the real-world reputation of the user (not rep score), and it is likely not at all his fault. Maybe someone has been voting for him too much, but that is out of his control (and happens without his knowledge)
@Szabolcs Not really. The system is automated - it can't read people's minds. It has undone legitimate votes before, and the appearance of line in the rep history doesn't mean anything.
"the ability to see if anybody has votes on their question reversed" <-- I don't quite understand what you mean by that, can you clarify or give a link?
Update: This has been rolled out to all sites in the network.
Behind the scenes we've been hard at work making some changes to how we track reputation. Here are some of the issues we're aiming to address with these changes:

@spolsky My first hebrew blog post. About remotely supporting a friend. At night. Via FB chat. In Hebrew. Read it here: http://mosheberman.com/wordpress/2012/03/02/%d7%b4%d7%a2%d7%96%d7%a8%d7%aa%d7%99-%d7%9e%d7%a8%d7%97%d7%95%d7%a7%d7%b4/
Hello everyone, I have a work related problem and thought maybe you guys could help.
A person that works for me has really bad odor. He has being doing a great job, but other workmates have complained and it has now become a problem for our work environment. How should I approach this issue?
@Marcelo If he works for you (as in, you are his manager), I would talk to him privately about the problem, so as not to call him out in front of people.
@Marcelo I think you've just got to go for it. I think trying to be subtle with cans of air freshener or whatever might come across as bullying or passive-aggressive behaviour
(disclaimer: I'm by no means an expert but I think honesty trumps subtly and talking behind backs)
You are probably right, I just have to be direct but subtle. It's just hard to gather the courage to do it, I don't want to hurt his feelings, or anyone's.
My only suggestion is to take all suggestions you receive (including this one!) with a grain or two of salt. Everyone on the Internet is going to have to make a lot of assumptions, like mentally assigning both of you average personalities. Nobody knows the specifics of your office dynamics. And you don't really know which people on the web are social train wrecks in real life. (These are all things I thought of when I left that comment about this being a bad question for a regular SE site.)
I have a terrible habit of ignoring the blog posts I care the most about, because I think "oh, I need to focus on this one, I'll come back to it later when I have time."
Thank you everyone for your advice. This is still really complicated for me to handle, and currently I am waiting for a moment of inspiration to take action.
I think this request would have been better received had it been posted without all the fluff. I kind of want to edit it, but I don't want to over-edit. Hrm.
I think there's a simpler solution than moderator intervention:
Does the fact that serial upvoting has been reversed even need to be publicly visible on the reputation page?
As far as I can make out the reputation lost on downvotes isn't visible to anybody other than mods and the user. If the r...

I like the idea of building a FAQ in the wiki that links to actual questions - then you can use those as dup-targets, while still keeping the wiki as a, "start reading here to become savvy" doc.
@awoodland There's several Meta discussions where the outcome is that it's fine where it is (which of course I support, give that that's where a lot of my reps came from :P)
Yesterday it was Mesoamerican saw-swords with prismatic blades in household cutlery sets, now it's Australian pine oblate spheroids obeying standard gravity but reversed time flow. Something's not right here. What have you done with the real @mmyers?
Which code snippet will give better perfomance? The below code segments were written in C#.
1.
for(int tempCount=0;tempCount<list.count;tempcount++)

}

@PopularDemand That's not quite true either. They do not obey standard gravity. It's reversed, but since Australia is upside down, it works out the same.
I started to think about this after the recent reputation "adjustment". It seemed weird that you would lose reputation when a question is deleted (or an answer you posted with upvotes gets merged into a comment).
