Who is running @Pham?
ok
why isn't @uni sleeping? :D
17:47
@InfiniteRecursion I'm rescuing a project, but I just made an agreement to fix this by tomorrow, so I can sleep now! :)
in Low Quality Posts HQ, 3 hours ago, by Unihedro
@gunr2171 Sam is on a holiday. I'm running Pham atm.
Yeah, that is correct.
Nice, I almost guessed it. Uni is Sam's friend, so he has highest chance of having Pham's login
wat
And I thought >100 on NotDoorknob was a lot... :P
17:49
@InfiniteRecursion I also happened to have an old, rusty Windows laptop, which worked to running Pham.
@InfiniteRecursion :O
:D
17:51
:D
@Pham needs to clean the rust using baby wipes before going back to Sam #lifehack!!
also, #trainwreck ;)
I have no bot..so #trainwreck ;)
#trainwreck :P
(removed)
so, is thrashing on lifehacks a thing?
Grr. :P
17:53
Grr. :P
Grr. :P
Grr. :P
Grr. :P
Grr. :P
now... #trainwreck ;)
c-c-c-combo breaker
Aww. :P
@Inf is professional trainwrecker :)
Needs train.SE
(inb4 inf wrecks all train.SE questions)
@NotDoorknob needs a hat.
17:56
status-needs-a-hat
@ProgramFOX's bot is the only bot with a winterbash hat (claps)
Grr. :P
But I has a hat.
I just don't like to wear it.
I added the hat onto Pham.
Note to self: remove before Sam returns
18:00
Thanks @uni :D

JeffxGuaranteed to avoid hurting your fingers -: Hold the nail with your lips and have your younger brother wield the hammer.

throws snowball at Undo
inb4 Undo undoes that action
rolls toward @Unihedro, becoming giant snowball with unpredictable path
Ahhh!!! runs away; running away; keeps running away
18:14
wonders why we are having a text-based adventure in chat
@Unihedro keeps rolling and getting bigger
user259867
Do You Want to Undo the Snowman?
inb4 paperclip wizard from Microsoft Office appears
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! CLIPPY IS HERE!
18:15
Clippy!
@TheGuywithTheElfHat upvotes again
nuuuuuuuuuu
whyyyyyyyyyy
@TheGuywithTheElfHat becauseeeeeeee
@UndotheSnowman … Y U NO PHYSICS
Clippy saves my pond from the huge snowball
18:21
@bjb568 eh?
When you get bigger, you become more stable and predictable.
sure, but still unpredictable to a person
especially if there are rocks and such
… how?
too tired to think about physicsy things :P
gtg cya
depends on the shape of the object, size doesn't matter, center of gravity does. Big size != more stable
18:24
^ yeah that
you scared our snowman @bjb :(
user259867
Bigger size => greater momentum => more difficult to change the track.
Yeah, so if you know its current velocity, you basically know its velocity in 1 second. And you know where it'll be in 1 second.
Just got steward in CVs on SO.
user259867
And pirate hat, most importantly.
18:27
Yes.
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
I feel like stackoverflow.com/review/close/6564618 should be easily blockable by an AI.
OP's name is nice ... twilight-ish
dahaill
bjb is sharing lots of vids

better than shouting CV CV CV or LQ LQ LQ :P

You love shouting, someone should add you to Smokey's list of blacklisted users

@InfiniteRecursion 'tis the season to be kind to strangers: to not vote to close, but only downvote.

@Behaviour <3 We are kind, so -1
DV, CV, VLQs
inb4 out of dvs because 40 downvotes/day, but 50 cvs/day.
inb5 bjb flags finally gets declined
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
Ah, Pham just went home though.
Let's hope Smokey will pick up, or review queues do
Night!
18:42
Night!
Night
IP bans aren't effective, though the provision exists. Most of it is nuked on arrival @bummi
Night @uni :)
Night!
Night @TGMCians
@InfiniteRecursion uhh... I think he replied to Uni :P
@InfiniteRecursion all for nothing :(
Yes, good thing post wasn't downvoted along with the cvs (thanks to you for preventing that)
@InfiniteRecursion meeee ? you did the good job
@ProgramFOX yes :D
@bummi Thanks :) You told everyone not to pile meta effect, which was very kind of you
@TGMCians but uni didn't sleep yet
18:53
But Uni already said "Night".
@InfiniteRecursion meanwhile I know how to do better, thanks for being exemplary
:D
New Tavern tasks: waking up bjb and putting uni to sleep
user259867
This is a problem similar to using symmetric delimiters for something. One can't tell "Night!" as in "going to sleep", from "Night!" as a response to that. Better syntax is needed... !thgiN
You are becoming bjb-ish @Behaviour
Volume needs adjustment. It should be... !THGIN

Q: Moderator Pro Tempore

TimThis community needs to start contributing some names they would like to act as provisional Moderators. Please read this: Moderators Pro Tempore. Here are some basic guidelines: Each nomination should be a separate answer. Link the name to the user’s profile (parent and meta) so we can see th...

There you go.
@Frank You're on top, nice!

and not to many snarky comments ;)
@InfiniteRecursion O~o
@rene Mine's the only nomination with no comments. I don't know what that means.
Actually the guy I nominated also has no comments.
@Frank the comments are so rude, even Community flags them....
^^^^^^^
20:24
I was glad to see that Zach picked up. I really wanted him on the team.
ah @uni.
@Frank how many seats do they have?
@rene I think 3. That's what it usually is.
I also like Matt S.
He is one I know from other sites. Quite a sterling fellow.
And the top 3 voted make it?
@michaelpri The community team looks over all of them. It's not solely based on upvotes, but more on the merits of the users themselves. — Undo the Snowman 21 hours ago
They do of course look at the votes as well.
20:28
Hmmm, hope they get it right...
But it seems the only logical way
Get what right?
choose the correct mods
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
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
Matt S. didn't accept his nomination yet, he wants to think about it for a while.
@rene I'm not easily annoyed.
20:34
That is because you are a tree?
@rene sometimes they pull people that weren't even nominated
@Braiam interesting
@rene maybe
Becoming a tree so you can't be easily annoyed by people #LifeHack
yea @TGM?
@SmokeDetector ignore
@hichris123 Post ignored; alerts about it will not longer be posted.
^^ I edited out the spam rather than flagging the answer as spam
^ I think that's ok, as long as the user does not have a history of that behavior
uh oh, I went to the user's profile and all the answer links have already been visited by me
6 answers in the last 2 hours, geez

Q: Use a CSS transformation on an entire page including fixed backgrounds (in Firefox)

gn66I've made a script that re-size my website with some ratio: 'rat'. I do a scale but that scale creates white margins so I transform the entire html page and I sent it to origin in the coordinates 0 , 0. document.documentElement.style.transform = "scale(" + rat + ")"; document.documentElement.sty...

A: Bind Drag & Drop div file to input type file

bjb568You can put the div over the file input. To make it still accept dragged files, add pointer-events: none to the div. div { position: absolute; width: 300px; height: 100px; pointer-events: none; background: #000; color: #fff; text-align: center; } input { position: a...

First SO answer for a long time.
21:40
@bjb568 No, you just did one a couple months ago.
That's a long time.
No it's not. It's just a couple months.

4 more upvotes then I get 2 hats.

@bjb568 true opinion? I'm happy when the hats are gone ... nevertheless nice answer

:O
to much nonsense happens in addition to the positive effects
@bummi If you can provide specific examples, you might want to answer this question
in The Garden Shed on The Stack Exchange Network Chat, 4 mins ago, by Sue
@J.Musser Good to know! Is there a list somewhere of my Permalinks from my chat rooms? I looked on my profile page but couldn't find anything.
i dont know.
22:02
I did see it and will limit on voting, I'm not the great writer for some people, I'm probably a red flag

Q: Why was my post edited for "spam"?

A: Why was my post edited for "spam"?

BraiamLets put it in a simple term: Can the asker solve his problem just by reading the text contained in your answer and nothing else? (people call this self-contained answers) If it's, just leave the link out, or better yet, just copy over the material (which I presume you own) and leave a copy her...

" 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
@JanDvorak I changed it to "This is one definition of spam". Is that better, or could it still be improved?
22:17
I still don't agree
Linking to own commercial material is allowed if disclosed, relevant and useful. Basically, see the meta post linked by OP. — Jan Dvorak 2 mins ago
My profile has a link to something I profit from, that's not spam.
(profiles are a little different, but still)
@UndotheSnowman You could do whatever you want with your profile -- questions and answers are to ask things and answer them, respectively

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

user1405195Is 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.

A: What different Stack Exchange apps exist for iOS?

Undo the SnowmanI currently use Stackboard, a universal iOS SE client that I wrote with a habit for being shiny: It's live on the App Store here.

^ Is dat spam?
Is tthat useful to the general public?
22:20
Yep
well, a subset thereof
Then it's fine
user259867
@UndotheSnowman It answers the question, and discloses affiliation upfront. Not spam.
(fwiw I'm on your side @Jan)
@UndotheSnowman I think that's fine.
@Behaviour Exactly
So we need to add some conditions to that definition
Like, 'unsolicited' or something like that
22:22
Which definition? Mine, Mooseman's, the one linked by asker?
user259867
I think "not useful" in the flag definition covers this. If it's not answering the question, it's not useful, but promotional.
@JanDvorak The "linking-to-things-you-profit-from" one
user259867
Where is that linking definition?
So... the Moose's one. I agree that needs to be changed
user259867
How to not be a spammer is pretty well written, and is in official docs.
What about s/you are profiting from/only you are profiting from/ ?
Only I profit from Stackboard sales.
(well except maybe Apple)
The users profit non-monetarily by using the app
true, but that's kind of obscure
I like "not useful or relevant, but promotional"
true
I do like the "Answers must be self-contained, i.e., they can't rely on third-party resources to be helpful." part, though
22:27
Although sometimes you have to rely on at least GitHub being up, unless you want to copy-paste a whole repository.
So it's the right spirit, but taken literally it breaks stuff
user259867
Some questions are about third-party resources. Not all SE sites consider those off-topic.
user259867
Not just SR. Plenty of book recommendations / website recommendations on Math.
Math.se sucks
user259867
And the question to which Undo linked (his answer) is on Apple.SE. It asks "What different Stack Exchange apps exist for iOS?"
user259867
22:30
It's more like SO is one of exceptions disallowing those.
I'm pretty sure PPCG disallows them, too

> What will happen if I don't use this ? What will happen if I use this ?
user259867
Either way, you die. In the long run at least.
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.
23:04
@SmokeDetector fixed
again a link only answer stackoverflow.com/a/27629283/1699210 where question is the culprit, I'm out of close votes

@Frank is right. That's only 1/6th a ring.
