Want to hear a story?
 
I believe you want to tell us
 
Ok, one day I had 278 reputation on LifeHacks, but then:
> removed (Post name)
> removed User was removed (learn more)
So there you have it.
I also now has 26 hats!
 
on LH?
 
@JanDvorak Yeah.
 
The user who was removed was ... me
 
10:05 AM
The post which was removed was... My only other post with no downvotes
 
It seems that our spammers are not taking their breaks on Christmas, despite that most users are, so they're wasting their time here.
@InfiniteHappiness :O
 
You can see a tiny decline in all the beta user's rep today (Frank, nicael, mooseman, sompuperoo, Zach etc today for user was removed reason)

Nice so see him with just the association bonus as rep....
 
I was going to recommend the link of the whining room, but here is what I found :P

There was no whining for two months?

I was whining in Bart's room.

But I'm not sure.
 
I know

On which forum can I ask a queetion about using a scanner? For example, forum.support.xerox.com/t5/Copying-Faxing-Scanning/…
 
probably Super User
 
@Tim ... we're not a forum
 
@Unihedro but if he got a valid question why not suggest proper site where to ask it?
 
1:31 PM
@ShadowWizard but... but... it's not a forum
 
@Unihedro true, and the cake is a lie. :D
 
@ShadowWizard now with 30% more spoon
 
@Unihedro Might want to have the site ignore foreign language sites for that rule, at least
 
@YiJiang Thanks!
 
Tim
@Sompuperoo Does using a scanner belong to superuser.com?
 
1:44 PM
@Tim Find out by taking their tour!
 
Tim
I took the tour, and it seems to me for computer related questions. but mine is scanner related.
 
> Specific issues with computer software, hardware or networking
 
I guess it's worth to try on SU, and you even mentioned what you have done on the forum, which is the norm on troubleshooting
 
@Tim I second what @Andrew said but also remember to quote relevant parts in the question on Super User, not just "See what I wrote here, halp!"
 
1:50 PM
And if they close it just tell them we said it was OK to ask there....
 
Tim
Thanks.
 
@rene and blame @Bart.

Q: make the scanner scan the entire paper pages, not skip anything near the borders?

TimI am scanning some paper pages using the document feeder of Xerox WorkCentre 7830. The scanner didn't scan the entire paper pages, and skip some part near the borders of the paper pages.

oh wow, you never told us you're 3k user on SU, @Tim

1:54 PM
does it matter? :)
 
That explains how well you asked on Xerox forum :D
 
Tim
I feel I am always a novice on everything
 
@Tim umm, well, you should know better than any of us here if SU is the proper place or not.
 
^^^
 
Tim
no. I was suspended for asking questions they don't think fit there
 
1:55 PM
I don't even have enough rep on SU to downvote stuff
 
question ban, or suspended?
 
Tim
me suspended
I think it is unfair
 
And still 3K... wow
 
Tim
It doesn't matter. or it makes things worse. the higher reputation, the easier become target of their victim
 
Maybe you'll like Lifehacks! "How to prevent getting suspended"
 
1:57 PM
@Tim oh, so you should ask in the per-site meta before posting something you're not sure about. Here we're mostly guessing.
 
Don't do anything! #LifeHacks
 
Tim
Yes, I should post my scanner question on lifehack
 
@ShadowWizard Asking questions are hard, let's play the guessing game.
 
Tim
@Unihedro but you can upvote? :)
 
2:02 PM
Voting rings tend to get detected and the people involved suspended...
 
Tim
thank. guys
 
Np. you're welcome. I hope your question gets answered

That is harsh!
 
Now @Inf can also clear stars so we should be double careful :D

Don't blame me @ShadowWizard. Blame it on the boogie
 
But boogie is not here, @Bart. You are here, all shiny and smug and wearing a fancy hat. Easy to see it's your fault. :)
 
is @uni a voting ring mafia now? :P
 
Oh? Of course not @Inf, I didn't vote on anything today :) Been busy trying to break Java
 
Java is fragile! It breaks on it's own

won't be wise to try breaking him ^

@ShadowWizard I don't use AdBlock.
I use a HOST BLOCK SCRIPT, which is even more effective.

He was a member of a productive acting family that began with his father, John Carradine. His acting career, which included major and minor roles on stage, television and cinema, spanned over four decades. A prolific "B" movie actor, he appeared in more than 100 feature films and was nominated four times for a Golden Globe Award. The last nomination was for his title role...

@Inf I see you've followed my bot's advice to be happy!
 
@InfiniteHappiness I couldn't imagine that you do that for that reason but the comments and him leaving the room matched up nicely ;)
 
Now that we're all happy and accepting, can I turn my bot's annoy level up?

(or maybe too broad; he seems to think PHP has more persistence than it does
 
@JanDvorak it wouldn't fly on SU because of the primarily programming tools being involved. Let it be.

Uncountable?
 
Like continuous and extending to infinity? Like the number of reals?
Or do you also imagine happiness pushing you into the number of complexes?
 
Poetic, not mathematical
 
YOU SAY INFINITY YOU BETTER MEAN INFINITY AND BE PRECICY

6:29 PM
@bjb568 Infinity is a concept, not a concrete number.
 
When I was young(er), at summer camp (as a camper) a fellow camper asked me to disprove that. I didn't have paper, but I figured out the problem in 15 minutes while distracted and talking about other stuff.
@hichris123 It depends.
For example, lim(x->inf) x can be said to be a, and a/(2a) is 1/2, if they're in the same limit.

PopsIs infinity a number? Why or why not?

@InfiniteHappiness ... huh? Yes, my Christmas is arguing with @bjb. :P
 
Yes, and my Christmas is waiting to kick him :P
 
6:33 PM
You can define infinity to be the number of countables. Then define larger/smaller infinities in terms of that. And treat them all like numbers.
Like inf * average value of sequence = approximate area under curve from 1 to infinity of the continuous function from the sequence.
I can't remember what to call those things.
THE NUMBERY BITS
