If anything it's going to be rainbows in depressing shades of beige and kittens in battle-armour.

Q: Is it a bad idea to take drugs?

In Skyrim there are a few drugs and alcoholic beverages and I couldn't really figure out whether or not there are big disadvantages. I always rely on my own potions because I'm not sure about the side effects ofthose things. Can you get addicted by certain drugs (let's say Skooma) or can the gam...

Mr_Green

I had said yesterday here that these two users are same.. ajay patel and jay patel... I don't care but it seems this user acting somewhat like a psycho. I am not sure this might be my assumption but I think he just downvoted my post today.

I don't care about points but just want to confirm whether he is the downvoter or not.. is it possible to know? I don't want to know who downvoted if he is not the downvoter.

May be I am thinking too much

Bart

@GnomeSlice Nice

@Mr_Green Voting is anonymous, period. Nobody is going to tell you who voted on what.

Mr_Green

ok.. I don't want to push you.. thanks

if he did downvote, it is kind of weird act.. because he downvoted after more than one day..

nvm.. leave it

Bart

It's not me you're pushing. Don't worry. It's just that votes are anonymous as a fact. So nobody is going to inform you. Not a mod, not a dev. And guessing usually doesn't really help anyone either @Mr_Green

You are, as they say, doing it right.

in order for an issue to be important enough for me to look at it, the customer would have to be on fire, with the world ending, and first, second and third line support would have to have gone home

ChrisForrence

Oh hey, you can hover over the 4.8K part to get a more precise number. I didn't know that!

rene

You can also look here

jadarnel27

5:22 PM

I'm rather impressed with the number of people working in the close vote queue. Naively dividing the number of reviews today (~5400) by 40 shows approximately 135 people maxing out CV reviews so far today.

Granted, that's way less than the number of people with >3k rep.

Still, that's 135 people volunteering their time to help clean up the site, just today, just in that one queue.

Andy

Did the rundown of the weekend closings ever get posted?

rene

Yeah, I asked hichris123 to add that number of reviews to his graph as well

jadarnel27

@Andy I don't think so.

@Shog9 said running those numbers wasn't as straightforward as he had hoped.

@rene That would be cool.

rene

Bart

Welcome to the wonderful world of word filters.

Luckily you can always have an issue instead

rene

5:52 PM

Add issue to the problem filter

jadarnel27

People should just use smarter-sounding words that are similar to "problem." Like "quandary."

rene

Add quandary to the problem filter

jadarnel27

I can see that going in a positive direction. Especially considering how up in arms people got about the problem filter in the first place.

rene

I simply want to prevent users posting problems/issues/quandries. Only positive, happy stuff is allowed.

Hmm, I left a comment on a question here on meta asking for clarification but now that question is removed

jadarnel27

A noble goal. rene for moderator!

rene

Nah

Fine.

@rene Is your name pronounced like "clean" or like "delay?" Or something else?

rene

Anna Lear

I would never.

TGMCians

I just see, guys voted wrong as duplicate for this question stackoverflow.com/questions/22231542/…

Bart

How is that wrong @TGMCians? Seems correct to me?

TGMCians

OP question was not to "Simple way to repeat a String in java"

Bart

Yes it was, in essence.

Anna Lear

7:22 PM

The question was "how do I repeat '-' several times".

TGMCians

OP question was to replace the character with -

Bart

No, not exactly.

He says he knows how long a specific word is.

TGMCians

> For example, say the word is "dogs". The length method will return 4. Now I want to convert that into ----.

Bart

And then wants to generate a new string of equal length, made of the character '-'

that refers to the length (4), not to the word "dogs"

I'm guessing the OP of the highest upvoted answer has your interpretation as well, but the answer shows that in that case the length is unimportant.

TGMCians

I don't think it is correctly closed, anyway

Bart

7:26 PM

By all means vote to reopen. But I don't think that's necessary (and not necessarily correct)

TGMCians

Bart

Sure, if it's something us community members can handle/advice on

Revious

@Revious Stop bothering people. NOW. This is your last warning.
@Gilles Gilles. I wasn't bothering any one. I asked Izzy if he wanted to listen me and he asnwered yes.
question closed for me
@Gilles also please, can you specify what will be if you interpret my behaviour as "bothering" people?
@Revious Not dropping an issue when told to do so. Which evidently you don't understand, so goodbye.

Bart

Okay, what about that little interaction?

Revious

my 3rd sentence wasn't for poking

Bart

7:31 PM

So ...

Revious

but maybe it looked like?

Since I got banned on the chat

Bart

Well, to some extent you've got a history weighing against you

Revious

yes, I know..

but it seemed a bit harsh that behaviour

I wanted just to know your opinion on that

Bart

Take it as an "enough is enough". At that point it's just best to take a break an "walk away"

Revious

ok.. I understand..

Bart

7:34 PM

Even if you're not at fault (I don't know the entire conversation) anything you follow it up with is likely to agitate the other person.

Revious

sorry for my english

Bart

Your English is just fine. No worries.

Revious

you mean that my way of speaking is agitating people?

Bart

No, not precisely

Say I tell you "Please stop talking"

Then the best thing to do is to stop talking, right?

Or at most acknowledge and say "I understand" and then move on.

It isn't a good idea to then keep on going and ask for clarification.

Revious

ok, I understand what you mean

Bart

7:36 PM

(Of course the assumption here is a particular chain of events. If I tell you to stop talking, you can probably ignore it for now ;) )

Revious

but am I wrong if I say that for sure if someone says you to stop talking and you immediately stop, probably the other guy is your boss, is not very polite (or maybe he is aiming with a gun toward you :-p ).. I mean.. a moderator shouldn't be a bit more diplomatic?

allow me just this little outburst..

Bart

Well, for one, moderators are people too. (Yes, even those who claim to be unicorns or lizards)

They can get fed up at a point

Should they be somewhat more diplomatic than can be expected from "normal" users ... I'd say so.

Revious

yes.. but he was arrived in that moment..

Bart

But at some point a clear statement might work, if all other messages have failed.

Well, that doesn't mean he was completely unaware of a situation

Or of your particular history

Revious

(of course.. he is the guy who banned me without saying :p)

sorry for the outburst

Bart

7:42 PM

No need to apologize to me at all. We're having a reasonable discussion I'd say

Revious

however I understand.. but I'm also human

Gilles is sometimes really harsh

I was upset at the beginning for his behaviour

everything started by its comment to one of my post

Bart

A thicker skin would help you a bit. I see Gilles every now and then, and we disagree every now and then. He can be pretty direct. But I never have the feeling he is trying to upset or hurt anyone. He's just very clear and to the point.

Revious

yes, I'm a bit too much sensitive (or sensible)

but my intent was to contribute

this time he banned me for 24 hours and I'm happy for that..

but if he banned me for 3 months?

for that chat?

Bart

Don't worry about things that haven't actually happened

Revious

ok

Bart

7:46 PM

Just take all the advice you've been given in the past to heart. And perhaps learn to move away a bit quicker if you feel a chat/discussion is not entirely working out as you had hoped.

Revious

thanks for your time

Bart

You're more than welcome.

Revious

@Bart yes.. but...

can I express freely?

Bart

Of course

I couldn't ban you, even if I wanted to. :p

Revious

eheh

@Revious Stop bothering people. NOW. This is your last warning.

=> sorry Gilles, I understand

or going immediately away

or staing in complete silence

is not similar to the reaction people have in front of really bad person?

I mean harmful person

Bart

7:49 PM

Well, think of it like this

You want to be able to keep participating

You absolutely don't want to escalate a situation

Revious

of course

Bart

That doesn't imply you need to stand idly by

Or that you should have people silence you into submission

However

At that point the smartest thing to do is to not escalate a situation

So you acknowledge you've understood (at most), and let that chat be that chat.

Now, if you don't understand why this happened, or if you feel that you are being terribly mistreated

you can always contact the team

Revious

I think that they are full of work and complaining people..

they need Gilles work and they will not go to contradict him for a so small lack of niceness..

Bart

I'm sure @AnnaLear could chime in on that a bit better than I could, but don't hesitate to contact them if you think there is a need. A fresh pair of eyes wouldn't hurt.

Revious

what's the meaning of chime?

Bart

7:54 PM

Sorry: "to chime in" means "to break into a conversation" or "to provide additional information" ... something like that.

Not sure if she's available though, but she used to be on the community team (or still is?)

Revious

really?

but you understand my feelings?

I mean.. am I totally wrong?

Bart

I don't know the entire history here, so I can't really comment on that. I can see how, on the face of it, you might interpret it as somewhat harsh.

Revious

thanks again

Bart

sure, no problem.

Revious

you were the one who readed dale carnagie?

Bart

7:58 PM

Most likely not no. You must be thinking of someone else.

Revious

I think I should learn better how to interact with people..

I rely a lot on some values like "fairness"

but people are not always fair and I should learn how to do the smartest thing not the "right" one (or the one which I believe a dirict of mine)..

@Bart: I always forget to start writing "@..."

Ben Collins

good grief. @Revious: I am now going to kick you from this room. If you come back, you can talk about anything else except how unfair all the mods are being to you in your suspension. if you come back and start it up again, I'll chatban you.

Bart

And sometimes the smart move it to just stop talking. No "yes, but..." not "I understand, however ...". Just stop when the other party makes it clear they are not interested (any more)

Anna Lear

@BenCollins that's not quite what he's talking about, although the pattern does seem to be repeating.

Ben Collins

@AnnaLear indeed. kicked.

Bart

Ben Collins

I already warned him once.

Revious

@AnnaLear yeah, I read that some such post that mentioned I could ask here for a mod to see if they were all from the same user

ie if the script will find anything to pick up on

Anna Lear

A mod can't necessarily check that for you. They can make an educated guess, though. I'd just wait 24 hours first. If the script picks it up, you'll know. :)

@JeroenVannevel: c/o if you want it shipped to your company address for example

> [Firstname] [Lastname]
c/o [Company] Building 123/4-567
1234 [City]
[Country]

Why not just enter your company address as the first line then? Or is it some sort of fallback in case you're not home?

@Shog9 Shog, love the stats, but there seems to be a glaring omission from them. The queue was around 120k prior to this current spurt of activity. We were able to clear 15.4k tasks with 34.2k reviews. In the meantime, 4,862 new tasks entered the queue, presumably requiring more reviews to clear them (since they have fewer existing votes) than we performed since we started. Did we actually make progress in the big-picture sense?

(this isn't to say that if we don't lower the absolute number reviewing has no value, but the general complaint was that the queue size was constantly increasing -- if this had an impact, I think that should be clear, if not, you may want to leave it ambiguous as-is)
