I totally borked my answer to this question:

Q: Revoke answer acceptance to ask unrelated or loosely-related follow-up question

jshanleyI've been noticing a trend recently, that plays out as follows: User A asks a simple, straightforward question relating to a larger, more complicated project they are working on. User B gives a complete, correct, and helpful answer to the question. User A accepts User B's answer. Later, User A ...

user163250
I totally misread the question. It's still up for grabs if anyone wants to write a better answer.
@Cupcake That was fun. New challenge please.
user163250
I'm not sure if this is something that I should be proud of :/ meta.stackoverflow.com/help/badges/55/fanatic?userid=456814
Of course it is!
Oh cool, when did I get a Reversal badge on MSO?
Oh, that.
00:31
@Cupcake Counting things over and over until they make sense is something I had to do a lot at the Election Commission when auditing early voting requests. But there it's mostly because people don't log what they do correctly.

It's super annoying when they don't learn how this all works the first time around, and they persist in smacking right into the wall.
Because of my account merge (with my friends somehow, which I contacted SE about) and the borking of SE's login, I cannot create an account on web apps that is linked to my original account (bjb568).

@bjb568 Oh that's why your name isn't linked in the close notices anymore. I noticed that earlier today.
FIXITFIXITFIXIT!
Is it even possible to unmerge accounts?
Hello beings made of organic tissue
Can only be done manually, and I don't think it would fix all the unlinked usernames across the site.
@animuson Well, do it manually.
Well only an employee can do that. Involves manually editing post data and such.
05:19
Good Morning...!!!
@animuson :O Seems like the whole system is borked. Well, the first account is useless, and can be deleted(I fiddled with it before, and my friend who owns it doesn't use it anymore).
First = lower id.
Will if you don't actually need the other account, they probably won't try to unmerge them. Or possibly just disassociate any posts that were on the older one, if needed.
user163250
Burn with fire.
user163250
It's the exact same question from the same user.
05:28
@animuson Oh good. But the biggest problem is the borking of the login system which probably got the accounts merged in the first place. >:(
@Cupcake DV'd both.

@SilentKiller morning?
user163250
You're not here to kill anyone, are you?
Or even worse, loudly?

If you do, can you make it as LOUD as possible plz?
Nooooo! Silently!

@Cupcake lols no i am toooooooooooo innocent.. i am just killing silence.. ;)
ya its morning here. :)
It's night here.
ohh then Good Night.. :)
But that doesn't work unless I'm going to sleep! English! (sucks)
why don't you.?

@Cupcake What about Portal gamers? Can they tell him?
What about a cat's shadow with a bird in its mouth holding some flowers and wearing glasses?
Perhaps, but I haven't seen you wear glasses either

Hi
Just to know. Do different types of flag have different weight?
yes, it depends on how many colors are used in flag :P
To make it clearer: does for example a spam flag put you closer to a ban than an offensive question one?
you as...
08:03
Spam flags will cause reputation penalties, where offensive flags won't I think.
I think both do
so when a post is offensive and spam it is better to flag as spam?
Spam also gets added to a filter of some kind and is made an audit case I heard. I dunno about offensive flags, since it's, well... offensive.
Currently I doesn't have enough reputation to comment on questions, eg. to ask for more information in order to answer, and possibly gain reputation ... however, I'm allowed to actually edit the original question. Does in my opinion not make sense. — jon martin solaas Mar 31 at 4:51
Your question is about to be closed because it belongs on MSO. I'm aware that your question here was asked before the split, but from what I understand the goal is to eventually migrate all these closed questions from here to MSO, although I'm not sure. You might just want to repost your question on MSO. — Stijn 1 min ago

Quora sucks.
user163250
I can't deal with it anymore.
user163250
My quora feed is full of ancient items from 2011.
@Stijn I believe so. Meta questions about SO belong on MSO. Meta questions about SE that are asked on MSO should however not be moved automatically.

And the GitHub topics (the interesting ones about GitHub as a company) are being spammed out by off-topic n00b questions about Git.

That would be the one.
@Cupcake Yes, that one. A friend showed it once to me "Look, someone famous posted here something!!1!". Had to remove that bloody thing from the DOM.

Wait, is their primary power having a lot of answers per question?
no matter how crappy they are?
user163250
No.
And opiniated answers seem to be no problem too. At least for the questions I have seen.
user163250
I don't know.

They just really f**ked up with the recent changes they made to the feed.

Hrmmm; I have to give @Cupcake an upvote somewhere. I don't like their reputation.
Wait; why is 1337 displayed under your avatar @Cupcake? Your MSE reputation doesn't match that :O
@Sumurai8 I see 1382 for that. Are you really seeing 1337? :O
1315 here
1382 must be old information
but the reputation in MSE is 1382, and that's what I am seeing in here
Thanks for ruining my joke, mr. correct-all
@JanDvorak Oh! I'm sorry, I thought there's a bug in chat, because of which we all are seeing different numbers
@Sumurai8 YOU USE IE!!!!
now I know why you are seeing wrong values :P
@DroidDev At work I do.
@Sumurai8 fail
@Sumurai8 That might be caching, although I'm not sure. Have you tried refereshing your page. If it still don't go away, I think you should post a question
@JanDvorak I have had this discussion somewhere last week too; think on monday or tuesday.
Yes, the offensive 1337 disappeared upon reloading the page. Thou shall never have 1337 reputation anymore, @Cupcake
@SmokeDetector actually, it's an interesting theory
But one shall only use IE in two cases:
1. Testing
2. Downloading some other browser
@DroidDev ad #1: there's browserstack
3. To access internet at work when you cannot use or download an other browser and you are nearly dying of boredom.
08:51
@JanDvorak then only #2 applies. eliminate #1
then there's that ballot screen...
@Sumurai8 Then you should try to hack your firewall and download another browser. Your excuse is invalid
@DroidDev I would prefer to keep my work. It provides me with well-needed money.
Also:
4. To annoy DroidDev
^-- this is the reason why people usually use IE.
@Sumurai8 That's a good priority.
I declare your excuse valid
@Sumurai8 you should be given an extra certificate alongwith your work experience. Certified regular IE user, the one and only in world
I salute your patience
Certified IE9 user
09:00
There should be regular in there somewhere
It doesn't even have adblock
@JanDvorak Is there one for IE?
My point is there isn't
Even if there was, I wouldn't be able to install it. :'(
@Sumurai8 I suggest you should use a calculator instead. It has more allowed features than your computer :P
09:10
You mean it can add two numbers?! O_o
WHAT IS THIS SORCERY!
I had no clue that was possible
You opened my eyes! You freed my soul! I can add two numbers! It is all I ever wanted!
but, you can also buy a scientific calculator which has even more features :P
*faints
Pff, science. What good has that ever brought to the world.
09:13
@Bart War. Destruction. Murder. Innocent deaths. More war. Power. More war. Slavery. All the good things.
@Sumurai8 Hmm, I like the sound of that
@Sumurai8 Hmm... you only need a piece of stone and motivation to perform murder
Both of which existed since the dawn of ages
@JanDvorak everyone knows the big bang created science. And science created the heaven and earth and saw that it was good .... wait .... I might be mixing things ...
@Bart no, that's perfectly the way it has happened. You are 100% correct
See, thought so. Maybe I should give Physics SE a go then ....

Could @SmokeDetector remember which question url's it checked and only display again if an edit is made (instead of an answer, comment, vote, etc)?

Hi, just flagged stackoverflow.com/questions/8370455/… for moderation, to ask reopening. Any thoughts?
The question is How to use random forests in R with missing values? the reason for closing not a real question. Seems real enough to me
15:38
@user7610 Ok, so I copy the code in the R environment and now what? Can I run it and observe the error?
@user7610 was that an other flag? Unless you have a very strong case, moderators usually don't like participating in the close/reopen process.
@user7610 "not a real question" is essentially an old wording of "unclear what you are asking". And the title doesn't give me much hope in that sense.
@rene THANKS!!

i can't able to enter into AU chat.
my broswer shows

Which browser?
@JanDvorak @rene That is not a programming question. It is a question of understanding the machine learning algorithm being used. Look at the answer, which perfectly addresses that issue: 1\
firefox.
@user7610 algorithmic questions still need to be understandable
16:07
@Jan The person who answered that question apparently understood it
so do I
... without having to read the answers
perhaps. I can't tell if it's understandable to whomever does code in R
I understood it without the answer. I googled for "random forest missing attribute values", saw the question, realized that is what I want, then read the answer and was happy

You can login to the normal site?
16:22
@rene @rene No, you cannot, because you do not have the OP's data. But if you are an experienced user of the randomForest package, you can look at the error message and the title and immediately figure out that the person has undefined values in the data.
@rene yep. I can be able to SO chats, main site.
Huh? So you can chat on chat.stackexchange.com?
@user7610 but a small dataset could have been provided?
