Tavern on the Meta

I'm willing to ignore the fact that there's a separate room for that just so you can get a shiny status-reproduced tag.

If someone explicitly states that he is below 13, how do we proceed?

ok well, the account is suspended in AU. Should someone notify the team or something so he can't be active on other network sites?

@jokerdino Does he have profiles for other SO/SE sites and is he active there? If so, perhaps raise a custom flag explaining the situation and including a link to the suspended profile. I guess that should be enough to get things rolling.

@Bart He has profiles on a couple of sites.

Should I have to post the link here?

(I just happen to come back for your ping.)

Is he active on any of those site? As in, actively asking question or posting answers?

@Bart Yes. he has less than 200 rep in all of the sites but seems generally active.

Then just flag one of those (either a question or an answer) for moderator attention, explaining the situation.

He has about 10 profiles of which he has participated in 4 sites.

Suspended only in my active site.

Okay, just say that in the message. You don't have to go flagging all the contributions. I'm sure a mod will pick it up and have a look at (or inform mods of) the other sites

Is it possible that the AU mod already informed the others?

This happened in a chat and the mod was active at the time.

Possibly, yes. I have no way of telling though. But don't worry about informing them again. Your flag will most likely be considered helpful, even if things are already in progress.

I'll flag it on SO and Programmers then.

I would just do one of them. That should be sufficient

OK. SO then.

11:40 AM

:) Good luck

Thanks :D

Flagged :)

OK. None of us really knew he was underage. He just came to the chat and started boasting about it.

He mentioned he knew he is willingly violating the policy.

Tim Yi Jiang

@jokerdino Hahaha. So he was literally asking for it?

@TimYiJiang Yep.

He was like, "Want to see pictures and videos of me?"

Is it okay for me to link the chat transcript here?

...."How to catch a predator" is trolling the SO/SE chat now?

We figured out he was trolling and mass ignored him.

yawns and sips coffee I keep having dreams where I ragequit my job...that doesn't seem very positive.

Is that a cricket bat?

@TimStone Hi BTW

'Ello

'ello'

A cricket bat or a pledge paddle, anyway

Depending on your age, let's call that a cricket bat for now...

12:31 PM

He is holding the bat the wrong way. Nothing else.

And the bat is relatively smaller for his size.

12:48 PM

hey guys. He is back on chat.

Q: "-2 more vote(s) needed to delete this question"

3:02 PM

Some 10k+ rep user wants to help me reproduce this bug?

This question on Ask Ubuntu has already reached the required 3 delete votes (and gone way past it) and still haven't been removed. Edit: Not just that one. The next two are bugged as well. Is LibreOffice suite really as good as OpenOffice Suite? HELP!! invalid arch independent ELF magic...

Not much of an activity in the question worries me.

3:34 PM

If a user greatly exceeds the post ban threshold, is it still possible to recover if the bad posts are improved?

Should be possible.

It mainly depends on how many are deleted / closed / downvoted.

Note that I said "greatly". See this comment. In other words, is there a point beyond the post ban threshold past which it is impossible to have the ban lifted?

It should always be possible but it can easily be improbable.

If most of the user's questions are deleted, then I see no way.

So, improbably but not impossible.

I'm not so sure about this, so can someone else say something on this? If there is an official answer, I'll edit this answer accordingly.

@DragonLordtheFiery Second opinion :)

3:44 PM

@jokerdino huh?

@DragonLordtheFiery Asking for someone else to weigh in is second opinion. :)
