momentum depends on mass, less mass + big size changes track easily. Also depends on the gravitational factor. In a lower gravity environment like water, bigger size != difficult to change track

Is there a way to prevent spam if you are sure it will com from a specific user, or do we have we to wait until he posts spam? The answer with canbabanakliyat ankara nakliyat found by pham is gone and there is now way to flag it as spam, I'd expect posts on serverfault,stackoverflow and webapps

I also like Matt S.

He is one I know from other sites. Quite a sterling fellow.

They do of course look at the votes as well.

Hmmm, hope they get it right...

But it seems the only logical way

Frank

Get what right?

rene

choose the correct mods

Frank

It doesn't seem like a right/wrong thing here.

Most of the folks nominated would make ok mods imo

most is the keyword there tho

rene

It is all about building up the site and its community. Get it wrong now and you might not have a second chance to fix it.

You either attract the wrong crowd or annoy good willing members

Frank

Matt S. didn't accept his nomination yet, he wants to think about it for a while.

@rene I'm not easily annoyed.

" you linked to paid content that you are profiting from. This is the definition of spam" -- hell no

"Answers must be self-contained, i.e., they can't rely on third-party resources to be helpful." -- this much is true

Q: Formula to convert 1 to 5... to 5 to 1

Is there a single formula to convert the following? And would it be based on reciprocals? 1 to 5 2 to 4 3 to 3 4 to 2 5 to 1 Ideally, I'd like to convert 0 to 5 1 to 4 2 to 3 3 to 2 4 to 1 but I'm guessing the 0 makes that impossible.

@UndotheSnowman I think that's fine.

So we need to add some conditions to that definition

Like, 'unsolicited' or something like that

Jan Dvorak

Which definition? Mine, Mooseman's, the one linked by asker?

I think "not useful" in the flag definition covers this. If it's not answering the question, it's not useful, but promotional.

Although sometimes you have to rely on at least GitHub being up, unless you want to copy-paste a whole repository.

Not just SR. Plenty of book recommendations / website recommendations on Math.

One question would be if we would have flagged it as spam. With some waiting for more answers it might have been enough for an other flag, or with a bit waiting for making him a mistake, leaving out the disclosure and posting just nearly a link only, it would have fitted for a spam flag. All in all it's time to get a discussion about this.
