I'm trying to modify the various loaders out there so multiple scripts can be handled before the main function is called. This should load jQuery, then jQueryUI, and then call main() to actually start the userscript. However, it does loop through, but when it gets to main(), I get a console err...
@balpha: you're not gonna believe this: now that i've fixed that i can't seem to click on the little "Stack<b>Exchange</b>" in the top left that leads to the inbox etc!
ah well i don't think i need that user script any more. gone for now. thanks for your help @balpha
@balpha: If you open a post, then open the same post in another window, then edit the post from one of those windows, is it not supposed to give you the "an edit has been made" bar?
Before you disagree with me with a downvote, or just want to be funny, please hear me out.
From the "Vote Down" privilege page:
The upvote privilege comes first because that's what you should focus on: pushing great content to the top. Downvoting should be reserved for extreme cases. It's no...
@RobinHood That's a false argument, and you know it. I'm always happy to help people here, and I always give the benefit of the doubt. But your name comes up in a significant number of complaints about bad users. I've even seen questionable posts by you myself. As I once told someone else on Meta, the benefit of the doubt only lasts until there is no more doubt.
Now, since I'm not a mod, I have the luxury of being able to ignore users, and I'm going to take advantage of it. There's no need for you to waste any more of your time on me.
@PopularDemand Technically, since the Q was closed by a mod, @ama should ask on Meta proper, or should flag the Q. Because that would've been the time to delete it.
On top of that, Neal hasn't tried to edit the Answer, and I'm curious if he's downvoted it for being a bad answer (community moderation)
Currently when you edit a question and change tags, the tags list to the right doesn't become synchronized. At least on SO using FF10.
So only page reload updates the list. Please fix that.
> These tags are often useless. They are sometimes misspellings of other tags that are already here, sometimes they are talking about a very specific unpopular product. Unpopular means the opposite of one of these: (picutre of a unicorn)

@ircmaxell I should've mentioned this earlier, but I'm interested in reading that. I'd appreciate it if you'd drop a note (or link) here when you post that article.
Quick question because I don't want to actually make a post for it
If I flag someone for operating a sock puppet, the flag is deemed helpful, but a week later nothing has been done about it, is there a way I can get an explanation for it?
You'd have to have a way to get in touch with the specific moderator who handled your flag. The only way I can think of for doing that would be to post on Meta -- and even then, it depends on that mod noticing the post and remembering the flag -- but calling out specific users by name is discouraged, and I can't think of a way to write a Meta post about that situation without calling out the suspected sock.
As a side note, mods are encouraged to dismiss flags as helpful whenever they believe they were cast in good faith, regardless of whether they require action.
Understood, but I'd prefer to hear why there wasn't any action. The reputation gains are ridiculously suspicious from my viewpoint, but I can't see who the upvotes came from so I can't be certain about anything.
Yeah, I understand, and sympathize... there's really no good solution for someone in your position. Trying your luck on the Meta post is all I can think of.
If it's on a site that has a "talk to a mod" room in chat, you could try there....
Ah, then the problem is that there are literally hundreds of flags a day
There's also ... 12? moderators on SO, plus the staff.
So a) there's no telling who specifically checked to see if it as a sock, b) they are REALLY good at spotting socks over there, and c) sometimes things get overlooked.
And a week ago is a long time to ask on following up on a sock flag. I think that your best course of action at this point is to just let it go, unless you're certain that it's someone being entirely egregious with the network, and the mods missed it. In which case, send an email to community@stackexchange.com and spell out a case for it.
@Purmou Eh, we don't really encourage challenging other users as sockmasters, and if he flagged it, the mods would've looked at it.
I was going to ask in the modroom if it was any site BUT Stack Overflow
but this summer of love thing is really not going well...my downvote suggestion wasn't received well at all despite the fact that it aims to improve the new user experience
The reason I'm pushing so hard on it is because I spent a lot of time answering questions for a new, fairly unpopular tag, and somehow this guys questions for the same tag are always upvoted so it's pretty hard to compete.
I find a bunch of random spikes less interesting than how much the density of spikes over time contributed to my overall reputation. Jeff's opinion is for suckers. — mootinator27 secs ago
Someone decided to start downvoting my answers due to them being too bulletin boardlike (not good grammar and capitalization)
Is there a way to report those users? And if so, what can i do about it?
edit
Here is one example
For example:
This question: What are some funny loading statements to keep users amused?
used to have this notice on top:
But since then it has been deleted on November 9th.
I have seen this with a few of the historically significant questions like What is the best comment in source code you ...
If you had said "Should others not un-downvote my posts for "grammatical" reasons?" everyone would have left it alone, because they wouldn't be able to figure out whether they agree or not.
A major change was suddenly introduced in the way reputation is calculated yesterday:
if you’ve contributed something worthwhile to the site, you should keep the reputation for that even if it eventually gets deleted. “Worthwhile” here is defined as,
A score of 3 or greater

> Hey Mr. Obama, I think it's great that your getting to talk to people on reddit. Here's my question. For those of us who aren't 18 yet, what should we be looking for in future presidential candidates when we vote?
I've made my fair share of controversial suggestions (one was a stupid joke) on meta regarding features of the site that have been around for a while unchanged, as I'm sure a great deal of users have.
One thing I've noticed on Meta is that a lot of feature requests that suggest changes to a feat...

and it's ironic, the exact phenomenon i complained about in the former question, which was apparently a nonexistent thing, is exhibited in plain sight in the latter
@Purmou I don't think that was all just because Gilles posted it. That was during the huge explosion of post deletion / reputation loss rage that happened when the reputation system became more "real time". There were a lot of people who felt really strongly about both sides.
