Before I send my flag: i'm having a dumb momemnt
what is the word for people who review fast just to get a badge?
 
@Joe robo reviewers

Ah, thanks @ShadowWizard

@ShadowWizard but the status page is also DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!1111ONE
Update: One of our data centers went down, we have the service fully running on another data center & are working to minimize impact.
 
/me looks at local keepass file .... lovely
 
maybe time to refresh the DNS cache...
 
@ShadowWizard nice handwriting, btw :P
 
3:14 PM
@DroidDev thanks! but can't really say "handwriting", for this I'll have to write and take a picture. Hmm... now that's an idea!
 
@ShadowWizard but you can also cheat that way, you can get it written it from somebody with very good handwriting. Hmm... another idea!
 
@DroidDev maybe my secretary, when I'll have one ;)
 
Its for first time that every message currently showing in starboard, I have starred every single one of them.
 
@DroidDev ohhhhh, so you are the star troll!! :-D

Q: Calculate reputation by tag and action

craigIs there a way to calculate reputation by tag and action (question or answer)? It would be great to see a matrix like: Tag A Q --- ----- ----- crystal-reports 10000 10 crystal-reports-10 4000 0 objective-c 0 ...

 
@ShadowWizard now, there are some messages in there, not starred by me :(

Q: Why are there still so many duplicate questions?

JK84I often see duplicate questions. What can we do about all the duplicate questions? Some discussion points: Is the "Questions that may already have your answer" not clear enough? Should it be made more difficult before you can ask a question? Should there be a ban for a certain time when it ha...

 
So is it practice now to tell people when someone else has them in their ignore list?
I thought that was supposed to be private information
 
example?
 
apparently a mod told someone that I was ignoring them
in PHP on Stack Overflow Chat, 5 hours ago, by Second Rikudo
@Jack I know it for sure because a mod told me. Mods can see that.
 
hey @bjb568, morning!
 
3:58 PM
I'm up.
 
Mornin' @bjb568!
 
@ircmaxell @AnnaLear ?
 
what?
 
oh, just seeing if you wanted to answer irc's questions
 
Not really. :P Uh. Lemme catch up here.
 
4:01 PM
@iStimple I don't know who it was, just that it was someone
 
That's not a thing... Mods can see that a user is being ignored by someone in chat, but it's just a number. As in "Being ignored by X users".
 
@ircmaxell twss
 
so then either he lied, or it was an admin...
 
No, he's right.
I did something that shouldn't have been done and I apologize and take full responsibility for it.
I wrongfully asked a moderator to tell me in the heat of the moment when I should've just walked away.
 
@ircmaxell I don't think it would be hard to figure out who's ignoring you, b.c you could just log out and then visit the chat room anonymously and see that the user was in fact in the room while you were there?
 
4:03 PM
Ah, there it is. I keep forgetting that tab exists.
 
I apologize to @ircmaxell and to the mod whom I asked for the information and I shouldn't have done so.
 
@iStimple ignore is one-way. You can still see the other person's messages. So that wouldn't work
 
Oh, @AnnaLear, while you're here: do you know if sponsored tags can be burninated?
 
@AstroCB Technically speaking? I think so. But it'd be nice if they weren't. ;)
 
Does anyone else see the sponsored links here?
 
4:08 PM
Yup.
 
@AstroCB Hmmm, not sure of the distinction, but I thought you were referring to a Sponsored Tag, like andorid, which has an image. The msdn tag isn't sponsored in this way. I don't see any "sponsored links" on msdn at all. I also haven't heard of sponsored links for tags, so I'm completely ignorant of the subject. Would be a good question for the team, tho... — Will 34 mins ago
@Will It may have something to do with rep (further reduced advertising like you get at 200?), but I see the links. (Also, you don't have to have all of those options; a tag can have any of the three.) — AstroCB 2 mins ago

@AstroCB No, I have adblock.
 
need last close vote ^^
 
I used all my close votes right after UTC…
 
status-closed
 
@JasonC Huh?
 
wait what
 
yeah
 
4:22 PM
how did i unilaterally close that question?
 
super power
 
You have a gold java badge.
 
@JasonC Gold badge owners can insta close as duplicate question on tags which they own a golb badge for.
 
flex
 
The gold hammer :D
 
4:23 PM
Vote up my answers! I need hammer!
Also 10k is nice!
 
How did it take me 4 months to notice that...

It even has a tag on meta,
 
@SecondRikudo I wanna golb badge!
 
@hichris123 Well, my bounty offer can't help you there
 
@hichris123 I hear Jon Skeet has a hidden one.
 
4:37 PM
I want there to be some more destructive badges; like "undelete 100 deleted questions", "unaccept 50 answers", or "receive 300 non-constructive comment flags".
"Roll back 100 edits that were roll backs of your edits"
"Get kicked out of 10 chat rooms"
 
"Serial downvote 100 users"?
 
Haha, yes
 
"Get 50 socks destroyed"
 
"Downvote a user within 5 minutes of them downvoting you, 50 times"
 
"Get suspended for every reason twice"

4:39 PM
@bjb568 That's a good one :P
 
@bjb568 Haha, oh man
"Create a meta post that receives negative score within 24 hours of a question ban"
 
"Vote to reopen your question within 5 minutes of 10 of your comments getting deleted as offensive"
 
@SecondRikudo ... golb?
 
Star: One single message in chat gets starred by 50 different users.
 
"Vote a close a question AFTER it's already been closed"
 
@hichris123 Yup.
 
"Star and unstar repeatedly after getting banned from chat"

Lol
@bjb568 Oh word
 
@hichris123 done
 
@AstroCB interesting...I'll have a look...
 
Kind of a fun query; data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/217214/… been pulling lots of interesting questions to browse through.
 
Here's another fun one, bad questions with good answers: data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/217217/… the record going to stackoverflow.com/questions/3905734/…
 
@JasonC That's also the worst question.
 
Yeah; there's a few in the top 10 there that also are pretty high up on the most downvotes per view list.
 
Ugh, already used up all up/down/close-votes.

Q: Was my answer deleted for the solution being too simple?

Antti_MI'm a pretty new user and not very familiar with the policy of Stack Overflow, so I'm asking this question to better get into this. I posted my first answer to this question and my answer was approved by the OP as it solved his problem. Today I noticed having lost all my reputation and checked ...

There: I was using the Community Bulletin link.
 
... your point being?

Rupan Singh Balone day i was in washroom doing my thing and this idea hit my head where my mom yells at me to change the garbage bin polythene and then put a new one.

It's not really spam, it's more... crappy than anything else.

@Braiam ... not seeing it. How?
 
Misguided, sure. Spam ... meh

@Bart But... you worded it so eloquently, Bart!
 
In that light @hichris123, this first opinion is for free.
 
5:57 PM
Do I have to pay for more opinions? :(
 
@hichris123 yes
 
I'd qualify it as an "investment" @hichris123.
 
Shouldn't she have a hollow diamond then? :-) — LarsTech 20 mins ago
@LarsTech honestly, I've kind of wanted that as a new feature recently. It's weird to come across posts that have been closed by one person without a diamond (nor a dupe hammer), until you realize that the person used to be a moderator (or in this case, used to have moderator powers). — Cupcake 8 mins ago
Hollow diamonds for former mods/people with moderator privileges?
 
It's an honor as an ex-moderator as well, so good idea to me.
But is there a unicode character for that?
 
6:05 PM
@Unihedron Here.
 
Awesome
 
someone, quickly, edit this Q stackoverflow.com/q/4460489/792066
 
Did @Braiam
 
It doesn't look quite right...
Imgur down again?
 
loads for me
 
6:11 PM
No... it just doesn't like us.
Doesn't load in chat though.
 
Ah.
 
@balpha around?
 
The diamond's too short, but it looks right as regular text: ◊.
Well, not here I guess.
Actually, that's in line with the solid diamond.
It just doesn't look right out of context.
 
How does this look?
 
6:22 PM
Shorten it to Co- maybe?
 
I don't know if I like the sound of "Ex-Moderator"
 
@Unihedron Sorry. xD
 
@AstroCB I don't. He's not dead yet, just retired.
 
@AstroCB is he an ex-mod actually?
 
6:26 PM
@JanDvorak Neither do I (that's what @Unihedron suggested originally, but he edited the message)
@JanDvorak No; I'm just messing around with this idea.
 
@Unihedron I apologized.
 
I do like the hollow diamond
 
@bjb568 Why? xD
 
@bjb568 no. Just no.
 
6:30 PM
Good night, see you later, Meta-ers!
 
@Unihedron 'Night
 
@JanDvorak Yes.
 
Flagged answer as NAA.
 
Does st.k/meta work for anyone?
 
@AstroCB No.
 
down for me

Bizzare: it was working two hours ago, which is why I edited this post to try to revive it.

Q: Update s.tk/meta to point to MSE instead of MSO

Jeremy BanksThe Stack Exchange's s.tk URL shortener is quite useful for getting to sites quickly. However, http://st.k/meta still points to Meta Stack Overflow, which used to be the network-wide Meta. Now that we have Meta Stack Exchange, shouldn't it point here?

 
@AstroCB oh my. I blame Nick. — Shadow Wizard 4 mins ago
I blame animuson.
 
All of the st.k sites are down, now.
Ah: it's s.tk, not st.k (obviously: two-character domain).

Q: How would I put a closing quote image in the background of my style?

user3075987I figured out how to add an opening quote marks on my quote (using a background), but how would I add a closing quote marks in my style. I'd like to add a closing quote marks image after the Russell Wilson is a great quarterback. See my jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/huskydawgs/bmj942y4/2/ My co...

 
oooooh I'm close to 500 rep on meta...
 
7:33 PM
@SantaClaus What does that give you?
Create tags.
 
I have no idea
 
I'm at 566: you don't get anything notable except the ability to create tags.
 
That's unfortunate
 
I was thinking I might get review queue access, but no: that's 2000 on M.SE.
 
@AstroCB I was thinking the same thing :(
 
8:11 PM
Does anyone know of any meta posts describing what to do with suspected gold-badge-hammer-close abuse? We've become aware of a user who has hammered some old questions (18 months old or so) with a question he's just answered himself a month or so ago. Both answers are pretty much identical.
For now another gold-badge holder has re-opened the question and seeing if we can find a true canonical but just wondered if anyone knew if this is the right thing to do. For instance would it be applicable to flag this for mod attention if we genuinely thought someone was being abusive.
 
@Ffisegydd nope, and congrats, you will be the first ;)
 
@Ffisegydd just flag as 'other'
 
btw, there's one Rory that is moderator in 6 sites D:
 
Hmm ok ta. It's only one question (that we know of) so I think just opening and re-closing with a canonical will do for now.
 
@JanDvorak ?
 
Sam
8:33 PM
Quick Q, when burninating, what is the best course of action I can take when dealing with posts such as this (there are also ~100 similar posts with the same tag)?
 
Um, nevermind. :P
@Sam Clean up all the crap first (delete vote, if you can't delete vote yet poke people in a chatroom cough here cough).
 
Sam
Alright, thanks.
 
Anyone know what happened to this proposal on anchor links: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/37894/…
Seems to have broad support, but I can't find an official response
 
@alemi It's on my list of features for adding to Stack Exchange-flavor Markdown, but we have other irons in the fire at the moment.
 
@JonEricson Thanks. Sorry just wanted to see if it was still on the radar as its 4 years old.
 
8:47 PM
@alemi No problem. I've wanted it any number of times myself. (That and footnotes.)
 
@JonEricson footnotes would be fantastic. Thanks for all the great work. I'll let you get back to it. ;)
 
@SmokeDetector didn't catch that one?
Not running?
 
@AstroCB For some reason, it's not posting in here...

Q: Absurd downvotes

msiyerI had posted a question on Programmers after having thought about the concept for a week or so. The self-proclaimed geeks/experts downvoted it because the question did not fit their mental models. The Programmers site is supposedly for detailed analysis of concepts. That is what the FAQ says.

bjb568Your question is still too broad.

In general, there should only be one question, supported by research of the t...

@JanDvorak Higher number of requests for migration than SharePoint.
 
Should I feature-request more CVs?
 
user163250
@AstroCB oh boy...
 
user163250
@Ffisegydd it's not uncommon to close older questions as duplicates of newer ones, if the newer ones make better canonicals (better title, more clearly written, has more answers), though such things have to be judged on a case by case basis.
 
@bjb568 edit conflict, perhaps?
 
@bjb568 It's the new "ask for help in answers." Delete half the question and replace it with your own question asking about a similar situation. Either that...or the OP is not logged in.
 
9:35 PM
@JanDvorak There are no other edits.
@AstroCB Strange edit summary tho…
