@LaszloPapp So in the Low Quality Posts queue, as a 10k user do you get a delete button and a reccomend deletion button, or do you just get a delete button until you've run out of delete votes?
but actually, we would need an experienced 20K+ user to potentially correct me. I do not know what actually happens... it may fall back to recommend deletion... I am really not sure, eventually...
what would be more interesting for individuals is e.g. having priority for 20K+ users to see certain career job opportunities, although that would bad for the recruiters.
@hichris123: who is that JS? Some fantasy name from a javascript maniac?
I don't personally have an immediate need for this, but it seems like there must be those for whom it could be a life saver.
Allow bounties to be placed with shorter duration. Since the Featured page is sorted by date, this allows the question to jump higher on the list and gain more immediate e...
I think the interpretation he's going with (and I've seen it on Meta once or twice) is that dumping random, useless crap onto the site (that is unintelligible, and cannot be considered an answer) is abusive to the site.
Right. The constitution is composed of: * No whining. * Suggest edits. * Star things in chat. * Provide examples. * Drink bitter coffee. * Don't use RGBW or HSI colour formats. * I said no whining. * Downvote great ideas. * The servers blow up occasionally. * ALL CAPS IS GOOD. * Decisions are made by whining. * Snort occasionally. * Meta is good. * Cry occasionally. * Vote serially. * Leg pain is good.
I think SO would be much better if every account had to verify as a real person that was not their self. That way only the very clever people could get in.
Hi, on SO, there is a question being closed which is vb.net but the duplicate is c#, though the question is about string.format and is the same. (without ; ) Is that right or not?
Of course good developers should, but will they search the right tags, and by your definition there should not be vb.net tags ? Pretty harsh but I agree with you, just checking whats the standard around there. thx. (FYI stackoverflow.com/questions/22329838/…) I didn't post the link because its not that interesting
But I've been active helping the poor unloved vb.net crowd (being a late converter to the true c syntax ) And almost everything is by and large duplicates of something the c# crowd has already found out....
It feels dumb adding a vb syntax version answer to a good c# answer (duhh every vb.net dude should be able to convert it himself) but the poor vb's are really stuck and not many helping them
many, many times have i found very insightful information -- the information i was looking for -- through questions asked on stack overflow that were closed as opinion-based or off-topic or shopping/comparison questions.

My question were, if better solutions are existing here?
Unfortunately, those answering such questions are the ones who'd upvote those too. Making it difficult.
In this case, your comment indicating the typo and the answer came pretty much at the same time. I've seen 100K+ users answering when a comment indicating a typo was posted a couple of hours back.
@JanDvorak Voted to delete. Now it's up to you!
(As I already mentioned both the question and the answer were worth downvoting.) Done that too!
hi guys, can anyone tell me if the accepted answer on this question is displaying strangely - I've flagged it - but as yet there is no response: stackoverflow.com/questions/1732348/…
I used a moderator needs attention. Filed in details "Text is displaying very strangely (seems to be jibberish, has possibly been compromised? Corrupted?). Have checked on three separate browsers (firefox, safari) on two separate OS's (Mac and Ubuntu) –"
@VishwasSharma If that comment is correct, then why not locate the canonical duplicate and close it against that? Now it says This question does not appear to be about programming within the scope defined in the help center. which is of course bullshit nonsense
@Bart Of-course, we can't add this kind of language anywhere in official website. I was just adding some humor. My apologies if I did it in wrong place and btw question is already closed as off-topic.
Don't worry @VishwasSharma. It just annoys me that a user seems to have used a custom close reason for a situation he stated was a dupe many times over. Now he's leaving a confused OP behind, and possibly all for some snark. That annoys me. But it's not your problem of course.
@VishwasSharma since you're here, I noticed you probably upvoted this answer - while the answer itself is not wrong, it just repeats what other answers on same question already said. So in the context of the whole question, it's not a good answer.
@3ventic Have you noticed that questions with unaccepted answers show as accepted (light green background) if the answer is upvoted?, trying to gage whether this issue is related to my install / mobile or the app..
So I'm scrolling through questions, and I see this:
Oh, goodie, there's an accepted answer here!
Or not.
Is the background supposed to be green for any question having an upvoted answer? It seems that it is meant to show whether the question has an accepted answer, like it does o...

How can an upvote be accepted? "The app currently has three states, same as the websites. Here are what they are for the app" quote from Kasra Rahjerdi ♦
@3ventic not much. I think of upvoted and accepted as distinct states. Your best bet for getting clarity from @KasraRahjerdi is to keep following up on meta
I don't really mind it either way as I only use the app for notifications and then open chrome to view the site, but the inconsistency between search results and the normal question lists (active, newest questions without any search) bothers me a little.

@Szabolcs There is a 121 days from your answer to when the question was originally posted which is more than 60 days after... someone has upvoted your answer to 5 so boom Necromancer badge!

@Bart Got it, thanks! Funny to get an upvote though because that code has been broken for more than a year since something was changed in the SE image upload mechanism.
@Lankymart Huh that's really strange. My code seems like it's doing the right thing. It might just be that the API is returning "is_accepted" when it has an answer of more than one vote. I'll investigate today, thanks!
@KasraRahjerdi @3ventic pointed out that it does appear to only be happening when you search, the default views for questions works fine. I've bookmarked the whole convo we had and added it to the your answer...might be worth a gander ;)
