@hichris123 you building on a remote system?
@Braiam nope, local. But on Windows. On a laptop from '09.
I want a new computer. :P
how much that takes?
@Braiam only a few hundred
@Braiam Full builds (like now) are usually in the ballpark of 6-8 hours (see what I did there? :P It's actually true). Incremental builds are usually around a half hour.

@Frank 6 to 8, huh?
@Braiam it takes hundreds of years

So, I'm writing a simple bookmarklet that will (hopefully) ping me when spam/offensive flags are called for. What are the keywords to look for? "spam", "smokedetector", "offensive", anything else? So many bots these days.
/spam/i should be ok
Morning...
Hi @inf!
@Shog9 Thanks, I understood that now, I will use the userscript you gave from now onwards.
@AndrewT. Hi :)
@hichris123 stop the farewell speeches please, though what you said is very kind of you. I will hang around and help in cv and spam flagging, am not rage quitting :D I have been in the tavern in the past two days too, just being mute like Mark Booth, poke me anytime you need cvs :)
user259867
no spam recently? Yay, it worked! (pinged me)
user259867
Hopefully, not every new message pings... Phew.
01:13
@InfiniteRecursion Ok, ok. :) Wasn't sure what was going on here. You also realize I'm going to poke you all the time for cv's? :P
(okay, maybe not)

user259867
@hichris123 You also put my username there, but I think there were two separate pings.

(did that ping you?)
user259867
Yes, it did. :)
@hichris123 Do poke, we need to close ALL the questions :P

Oh, I should add "calculus" and "math" to the regex.

@InfiniteRecursion Meh, it's just the unnecessary pinging people aren't fond of.
@justabrickinthewall Consider yourself lucky that there is no words containing 'sp@m' in the middle :p
So I am following their advice :)

there should be a cap ban too - people who post in all caps should automatically get everything they write switched into lower case
user259867
@Shog9 Well, look at the Ask Question page: MATHEMATICS, QUESTIONS, ... ASK QUESTION. So, she is ASKING A QUESTION.
user202362
once convicted, the ban kicks in and last for a day
user202362
everything they post on SE after would be switched into lower case, no exceptions
Huh, is it just me, or in FireFox on Windows, tabbing and backspacing quickly on the chatbox creates a non-printable unicode character....
user259867
02:02
@Shog9 Also, at least she did not repost... I edited the question into shape; care to undelete?
@AndrewT. Tab should shift focus over to the "send" button, right? Maybe it's a weird Windows thing.
user202362
a fancy bonus would be (just day dreaming here), after the ban starts effect, all the things that user posts would be casted 1 size down ... so it's like a normal post, but slightly smaller ...
@Doorknob seems so...
@chmod711telkitty And in Comic Sans!

in which the case it would be 2 sizes smaller?

Now that /greatest-hits are under discussion... does anyone ever look at /tools/post-feedback/ ?
user259867
That one is even better hidden, and requires 10K for some strange reason. Yet, the "least helpful" tab there is probably more useful than anything on "greatest hits". It gives a way to distinguish between genuinely helpful questions, and clickbait that brings in a lot of views, but leaves visitors disappointed.

Shog9A few years back, the team rolled out a Greatest Hits page that purported to display the "public face" of a site's (or an individual user's) content.

So. Many. Tabs.
I am drowning in tabs.
Where can I ask a question about tab management?

@Doorknob I'm sorry, but I concur with this:

Q: Is there a Chrome extension that I can use to note why I've opened a tab?

While applying a recent batch of system updates, I closed about 150 tabs between two browser windows. The reasons for having so many open are broadly incidental, just running down suspected voting irregular...

@Undo --^ >:D
@hichris123 hehe, I believe we've discussed this before.. I DO NOT USE CHROME! (why am I yelling?). Either way, I need a way to remove tabs I don't need to look at right now, but not make them so hard to see that I forget I need to look at them someday..

Q: Tab stacking/groups plugin for Firefox, that is similar to Opera's?

SethOpera (at least until version 12) had this great feature that let me drag a tab on top of another tab and form a stacking "group" that could retract when not needed and only take up the space of one tab. Is there a plugin for Firefox that I can use to replicate this behavior? Note that Fire...

@ɥʇǝS Oh right. :/ Anyway, go report some bugs for me to fix.
@JasonC There are so many things wrong with that it isn't even funny D:
Maybe a for loop would work better.
@ɥʇǝS I'm awesome at writing bad questions.
03:03
@ɥʇǝS Why not a but loop? I hear different conjunctions sometimes work better.
@Doorknob I really want to do a Google image search for "butt loop", but I'm using my projector right now and I have no curtains.

@Frank, have you seen the weekly challenges used outside of Gardening and Genealogy? We're trying to come up with an idea or two to generate traffic on Moderators but our userbase is much smaller than those two sites
04:50
@Andy On space.se we had a "topic of the week" for the longest time, and then eventually support dried up and we killed it. But that was a great way to inspire people to think of questions. The difference is that a site like space is going to be mostly curious people, while a site like moderators will be mostly populated by experts that have come across a situation they want help with.
@Andy You could replace all site graphics with pictures of boobs.
@JasonC adds to list of things to recommend to CMs I'm guessing that is rejected pretty quickly though
with good reason.
@Andy Then I'd argue that they should be more goal-oriented.
user259867
Q&A sites are active when there is a mix of users of varying levels of expertise, or of users whose strength lie in different sub-areas. Neither seems to be the case for online moderatorship. (Read: you are DOOOOMED.)
@Undo I've noticed this too. We hit a lot of our "What if" type questions in private and early public betas. Now we have new users showing up and asking one or two off questions and then not asking or answering any more.
