hi, isn't this a rude and offensive comment? stackoverflow.com/questions/20850352/…

I think it would have been more professional from him to edit the question that it does not contain a reference to the job.

hichris123

@LaszloPapp I don't know if it's rude, but certaintly has no point in being here.

Laszlo Papp

I edited the post, and voted for closure.

I was considering to reply as a comment to that person in the comment, but then I decided I do not get engaged in encouraging him to be more constructive.

Hey that's a cool hat

I may not be able to earn that in time, though. :(

Laszlo Papp

02:42

which hat? The pink and purple thingie?

Pëkka

03:31

Yeah man that one rocks.

Bat-signal for @Minitech

How does stuff like this get approved?

stackoverflow.com/review/suggested-edits/3695359

Although on second look, it's a borderline case and none of the users is a robo-reviewer.

Sorry to summon you Minitech

TacticalCoder

hey all, I'm really sorry if this is not the correct place but I was doing some reviews on SO (where I have 3.7 K rep) and I found a ring of users cheating the system and posting shaddy links (and doing some vandalism through bogus edits too)... How am I supposed to "flag" or report that suspicious behavior?

Lance Roberts

Flag one of the questions edited and describe the situation.

TacticalCoder

it's more than one question edited: these are entire questions and answers done by several users (at least 3) who constantly upvote themselves... Can I not report the 3 suspicious users at once ?

sigh Whomever likes the flag button: that's not offensive :P

hichris123

@Undo What was flagged?

Really? A flag? That's not a dick. Unless you have a square dick.

hichris123

Wait, someone flagged a mod? gasps

Undo the Snowman

And someone just flagged this:

And I 'cannot counterflag my own message'

Gotta love when some random person messages you on a dating site with "How did you get a shirt from stackoverflow?" and your first response you think of is "It's Stack Overflow."

@animuson Why doesn't this ever happen to me?! I'm wearing my Stack Overflow shirt right now!

hichris123

04:20

@animuson Better question is why do you have account on a dating site?

animuson

Why don't you?

hichris123

Hmm... Why don't I?

Tim Stone

The only place that anyone's said something to me about my Stack Overflow t-shirt was Arby's of all places.

hichris123

Maybe I'm not a SO mod? :P

Hey, only mods need dating sites.

Tim Stone

Now that I have a Stack Exchange t-shirt I should wear it with my moderator hat so people know I mean business.

Mr. Peanut Monopoly McManish

04:22

@TimStone I don't have one of the plain t shirts

@hichris123 not me

hichris123

@Mr.Peanut Maybe just SO mods?

animuson

Well, that was an interesting sequence of events. Somehow I hit a key to open my dev tools and then, before I realized, hit the delete key and it deleted the entire HTML structure of the page.

Mr. Peanut Monopoly McManish

@animuson your brain farts seems inefficient

Kasra Rahjerdi

The only time's anyone said something about my SO shirt was at the gym... and the guy was a Google employee.

Mr. Peanut Monopoly McManish

@KasraRahjerdi pahaha

Kasra Rahjerdi

04:25

"Hey I use that site all the time!" "...Me too." (end of conversation)

Mr. Peanut Monopoly McManish

@KasraRahjerdi of course, the reverse is also true

unless you use Bing.

hichris123

@KasraRahjerdi Which site, SO or Google?

Mr. Peanut Monopoly McManish

@hichris123 SO, there was no mention of a Google t shirt

People have noticed my physics.SE t shirt a couple of times. Most notice the hat but not the site, some notice the site too. "Hey, that's the Higgs potential!"

Kasra Rahjerdi

@hichris123 I think @Mr.PeanutMonopolyMcManish via a temporal anomaly answered your question.

hichris123

@Mr.Peanut But then how did he know he was a Google employee?

Kasra Rahjerdi

04:27

He actually had a Google gym bag :)

Mr. Peanut Monopoly McManish

oh nice

hichris123

@KasraRahjerdi You actually use SO? gasp

Mr. Peanut Monopoly McManish

@hichris123 um, Kasra is a dude.

Kasra Rahjerdi

@hichris123 I am hoping to rule the [android] tag

hichris123

@Mr.PeanutMonopolyMcManish Oopsie, mistype. :P

It seems like you have more hats than they said existed.

hichris123

Way better.

Mr. Peanut Monopoly McManish

oh right hahaha

How is this guy wearing the milliner hat?

It looks like he's only earned 4 hats total.

I don't know anything about any of these hats.

Actually, you know what? Scratch that.

I don't know anything about anything.

Pëkka

05:46

@jadarnel27 he earned them elsewhere.

Shameless, bringing his foreign muck here and using it for real currency.

There oughta be a law.

Laszlo Papp

06:10

why are there so many people accepting too minor edits? :/ I see a post significantly broken, and it already got a couple of minor edits which is about 5% of the issue with the post, or even less. Are people hunting reputation and badges and/or they just do not know the good working practice?

@jadarnel27: surprise surprise ... it is coming from SO. :)

I could not care less. I actually was not even aware of this as I had hats of (I hate hats!)

jadarnel27

06:29

@LaszloPapp Ah, I see. That makes sense. I didn't realize it showed the count differently on your different profiles.

(Neal)

Pëkka

@TimStone yeah, I see the same too all the time. No idea what motivates those people
