12:39 AM
is it just me running out of the 50 close votes almost every single day?
 
1:10 AM
@FinalContest Nah. Once I ran out of reviews in every queue except First Posts and Late answers which I couldn't review in because I was out of up/down votes and Close Votes because I was out of Close Votes. I also ran out of the 55 flags I had then by VLQ rampaging.
^ Many debate. Much long. Very comment. Wow.
 
1:25 AM
@bjb568 but you were using the so-called vanilla when you should have been sprinkling paprika
 
 
1 hour later…
2:33 AM
I would use saffron. Or sage.
Or maybe nutmeg.
 
@BenCollins No, I was using a was supposedly using a so-called so-called vanilla being accused of using a so-called vanilla when using both and vanilla and pure.
 
OR CILANTRO
 
BUT NOT JQUERY!
 
@bjb568 I think they call that extra-virgin
 
I've always been confused by that.
 
2:34 AM
Oil is confusing.
 
Seems like an all or nothing situation.
You known what's almost as cool as jQuery?
Dr. Who.
Right, @bjb?
 
Dr. Who who?
 
Or was Doctor Zhivago?
Or Dr. Strange. Or Dr. Pepper!
One of those fake doctors is cool.
Well. I guess Dr. Strange is a real doctor.
 
@bjb568 Is that a new sock creation of yours?
 
2:44 AM
:P
 
That is a fat cat, is it pregnant?
 
Nah, some cats get fed too much.
Too bad I'm not one of them :(

How does this help others learn? Or rather, how is this question different from any other "gimme teh regex" question? — Jan Dvorak 28 secs ago

Wow. MSE now has a "blatantly off-topic" close reason.
 
That's nice.
Shouldn't it be renamed "VLQ"?
Oh wait…
 
@JanDvorak every site you don't have vote-to-close privileges on does
 
@Shog9 that's great. Thanks.
 
… what about VLQ?
 
3:46 AM
there's a little bit of formatting issue, though

Not gonna name any names, but someone just wasted a close vote on spam.
 
Come on, can't I have CV fun?
 
4:27 AM
@bjb568 no.
 
Trivia: originally, there was actually a "Spam" close reason. It was removed after it became obvious that deleting, locking and penalizing the author was preferred by most users to leaving spam to sit around for a couple days in case the author wished to edit it.
 
@Shog9 bright red CV dialogue? Ew.
 
@JanDvorak And no descriptions. And no chance to change your mind - click the link, you've closed it.

@bjb568: right. Close vote queue + low quality queue + first posts = 90
there are at least 10 cv requests here daily.
in moderation tools, there are plenty of crap.
 
I can't wait!
 
and then I did not even begin to help people in a tag where the majority of the questions is also crap.
IMHO, even 100 close votes would not be enough to handle this much crap.
 
Lower the close threshold!
At least for low-rep or low-score or VLQs or AI.
 
that helps, but will not solve my issue.
I will still need to review 90 posts.
+ moderation tools + own contribution in a tag.
 
4:40 AM
Make the AI work before submitting.
They mentioned it in the podcast.

I am waiting for this to come to live: meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/256537/…

I would probably base binding votes on top contributors rather than badges.
IMHO, that is better a measure than badges.
 
I would base it on answer score minus three times question downvotes.

@bjb568 flag any of the posts they've edited
I'm more worried about robo-reviewers, though.

This user is robo-editing. Please consider an edit ban - most of the edits are too minor and do not improve anything. – bjb568 May 8 at 2:27 helpful - We can't actually edit-ban anyone. See: http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/221832/moderators-should-be-able-to-manually-ban-users-from-suggesting-edits
 
@bjb568: he is aiming for the legendary badge with edits.
 
Legendarily………………… rejected.
 
heh, moderators cannot edit ban...
so why not suspension then?

Mods don't seem to like to do that.
 
I bet they have not even emailed them at the very least.

WTH? People don't know how to uncheck the "this is helpful" box? stackoverflow.com/review/suggested-edits/5021634
 
I came across a few editors like that, and it was pretty sad that I left many comments in vain as the robo-reviewers accepted all the crap in the row.
robo-editors are big business for robo-reviewers.
there is no easier way to get the badges so quickly.
"community approved" -> LOL, ban the community!
 
Sigh…

nah, that was pun intended :)

@bjb568 what do you think audits are for?
 
The 2 gold-review-badge holder who reviewed approve on 637 edit suggestions and reject on 569 edit suggestions…
 
eh, score 9999 is the max?
 
@JanDvorak They are too easy.
 
@bjb568 Those in the edit queue are. The good guys review close votes.
 
@JanDvorak You think I don't?
People complain about the audits there being "too hard" HA!
I do admit I failed some when I was under 3050, but it's pretty easy once you've gotten the hang of it.
(not including this crap which I have no idea about… O.O)
 
5:05 AM
of course, you can always make a script to handle audits for you, but that's no fun.
 
@bjb568: otoh, I have also seen many valid bugfixes rejected by non-competent reviewers.
 
@JanDvorak Meh, only n00bs do that. I blast thru those audits in like 100ms of reviewing, too obvious.

Good morning.
Go review audits. The queue's building up.
 
@bjb568 can't you edit it at least?
 
Why? Don't edit crap. It doesn't help.
 
@bjb568 what did you do, exactly? It's not NAA
 
It's VLQ.
It's not even syntactically valid.
 
5:25 AM
@bjb568 it's syntactically valid as a part of an object literal
 
is it just me feeling delete mostly a better action in the reopen queue than reopen?
 
also, "quality" doesn't encompass correctness
@FinalContest mostly for "edited. reopen?" tasks.
 
most of the time I feel that I would rather delete a question than reopen not to bother with that crap anymore. ^^
 
@JanDvorak Whatever. It's crap. The question has a bunch of answers already, a new one shouldn't be added unless it should be added.
 
@bjb568 late duplication is a grounds for downvoting and perhaps a comment. Not sure about VLQ though.

yeah, but gmail should filter things like this: "Hi, I am Jessica and single".

maybe the spam filter has been poisoned by spammers saying that spam isn't spam?

@JanDvorak what are you trying to build there? :-/
 
A handcar (also known as a pump trolley, pump car, jigger, Kalamazoo, or draisine (powered or unpowered) in many other parts of the world) is a railroad car powered by its passengers, or by people pushing the car from behind. It is mostly used as a maintenance of way or mining car, but it was also used for passenger service in some cases. A typical design consists of an arm, called the walking beam, that pivots, seesaw-like, on a base, which the passengers alternately push down and pull up to move the car. It is not clear who invented the handcar. It is likely that machinist...
 
But....That doesn't......

Time ago I also saw some banner about a free morpg that seemed to copy build upon the Naruto world. Characters seemed ripped from some official game.
 
I found one released in 2013 for pc also. But I don't think I'll like that game.

I believe golfscript counts as totally unhelpful :-)
is there any decent documentation for flogscript?
 
@JanDvorak do you write that language with your fingers or convert it from something else? it looks like gibberish
 
stack-based, vector-based programming language with one-character built-in functions. Totally writable by hand, but hard to debug.
 
9:39 AM
@JanDvorak Thankfully software has seldom bugs...
 
@rene I don't write production code in golfscript ;-)
 
I understand why :-)
 
Golfscript has a heavy use of overloading.
 
i wonder if i could ever learn a language like that
 
@Alex the documentation is pretty good. The rest is practice.
I'm currently trying to learn CJam (sourceforge.net/p/cjam/wiki)
 
9:45 AM
Such languages actually look far more daunting than they are
 
^
One-character functions and heavy overloading are fine. Stack management when you're trying to save characters left and right is tricky.
Using the wrong overload because you've messed up your stack management is fun.
And yes, you can write readable golfscript.
I never thought I'd say this, but...
That question I've answered is still not closed :-(
