Once upon a time, I was following ubuntu-touch for some reasons, later on I decided not to follow it. Great, I stopped following it and now questions tagged ubuntu-touch are not highlighted. Good. But then, why they still appear in the Unanswered -> My Tags?
Yea, I found that interesting. If it's not a bug, I have a feeling the number is limited when there is a reduced number of items in the queue.. I just find it odd that I have always been able to do 40
I was pretty upset the other day, and requested that my account be removed. I filled out the form and didn't cancel the deletion within 24 hours of it being scheduled.
Now, I'm a little sick that I've done this, I acted in what I feel is haste, and I'd like to get my account back. I read in a f...
@ShadowWizard about the deletion thing... are you sure they have to? In my country the only obligation they would have is to fix/delete --invalid data--, and only on request.
that said, SE is based on content, so they wouldn't care about the poster info
they are interested in keeping the answers that provide value. Who posted them is a info they can sacrifice
From an implementation perspective, can someone enlighten me on why deleting posts is tough? (I'm asking so because this happens on SE. Moreover, I've learnt similar stuff about Facebook et al, that deleted posts etc continue to remain in the system despite being invisible even to the user.)
@ShadowWizard here It is unfair! That question is stupid! It should have been closed a long time ago! WHAT HAPPEND TO THE QUALITY OF SO?! .....Let me take another cup of coffee...
@rene There was a post on meta a couple of days back mentioning the algorithm adopted by stupid computers to figure whether a post is high quality. Blame it on users who upvoted it.

We usually soft delete posts - not hard delete them.
This includes deleted spam posts.
Doing anything else would complicate the infrastructure and code, which we want to avoid.
As deleted content is only visible to +10k users, the majority of users will never bump into them anyway.
So - why ...
@SPArchaeologist: look carefully and you'll see that it's completely useless
There's repeat stuff
and random other things

@ShadowWizard hi. yeah, I can see what you guys are saying about that edit - I looked it over and it seemed like it was adding clarifications, but at second glance yes, I agree, it isn't really adding anything. I have reverted it to the previous version
though I would disagree with the notion that changing the answer to add things not said by its author is implicit grounds for rejecting an edit
@YaakovEllis thanks! Really appreciate it. It's just that we have so many robo reviewers, that many here gave up on reviewing suggested edits. You of course are not robo reviewer, but that's why we're so "sensitive" about this.
@3ventic they want fair treatment on the sites, it make sense when thinking about it. @YaakovEllis but you can request for a diamond on any site, can't you? :)
@devnull right after I approved it I had a feeling about it that maybe it wasn't appropriate, but decided to go with my initial gut feeling. After seeing the feedback here, it pushed me back to the more conservative position (especially considering how many votes were on the original answer)
@ShadowWizard I am on the internal dev team. Lots of interesting things, but mostly stuff that is only accessible internally. Tools to help the sales teams, connect different systems (salesforce, internal dashboards, careers)
@ShadowWizard Didn't notice it still shows the numbers. Anyway, you know... usually minor edits are rejected because "they clog up the queue". But if the queue is 1 item that is nonsense :P
@SPArchaeologist yeah, that's not a reason to reject edits anymore. Post age is still a reason though, approving the edit will bump the question to front page so it should be considered.
@rene no sweat, rolled back. I still think what to say to the editor, but yeah we better leave a comment.
@kien_coi_1997 the "$" sign is there for a reason and is not part of any formatting. Please don't make such edits in the future, thanks. — Shadow Wizard10 secs ago

@SuhosinPony Oh, I see. Can't really judge, better have PHP users make this call. Like I said, not horrible but dunno if really fits current Stack Overflow
@rene unicorns will come and shed their magic upon us all ;)
@ShadowWizard assuming you are in the gts +1/-1 zone then. ^_^
@SuhosinPony Wondering... Maybe you can provide me an answer. I have always wondered if the Blanks are a fanfic invention (aka epileptic tree stuff) or does them actually appear in the show...
@SuhosinPony dark ponies without a cutie mark that hunt everyone who venture in the forest at night. I assume the name "blanks" comes from the blank flank.
could be a meme or a community creation (attempt to give a darker feel to the series? ). Or it may be something like the Dark/Black Sea from Digimon.
On my profile summary, I see "952 Votes Cast". But when I go to the "votes" tab, I see "777 Votes Cast". Is that because votes on deleted posts are included in the summary but excluded on the "votes" tab?
It's already been approved, just now, but the ScrollView tag is misformatted. I began trying to fix it, but whenever you add the preformatting spaces and < in front of it, to make it a tag, the entire ScrollView tag disappears.
Leaving just RelativeLayout as the first tag in the rendered output.
@SuhosinPony So basically the whole story around the forest and how you shouldn't go there at night had degenerated in a whole set of epileptic tree. How appropriate for a forest. But also what a delusion.... I always had that image that a minute after midnight a message would pop up saying "What an horrible night to have a curse"

Mobile views needed a bit more localization love. Fix rolling out in build rev 2014.3.3.2008 on meta and 2014.3.3.1415 on sites.

We need one of these.

I've actually heard this asked a few times on chat, and I'm downright curious - Who is this David, and why is his use of the SE Android app important?
