@bjb568 I agree; it seems like a hard topic to keep going after you build up a reasonable amount of questions and answers that satisfy the general cases.
That's demonstrated by the fact that there's only one unanswered question.
 
@AstroCB I'd downvote it if I had rep. I don't see any problem with minors doing anything, unless it's legal (which the question said wasn't the concern).
 
@AstroCB it's being closed
 
Good. Get rid of it.
 
@bjb568 I did; I'm not sure why it has a score of 4.
 
12:08 AM
@bjb568 That's an extremely silly reason to downvote, considering that US companies don't have the option of whether or not they want to deal with these issues. This site would likely garner many questions regarding COPPA and it would be disappointing if you downvoted them all simply because you disagree with the law.
 
Hell no, distributing sensitive information based on biological relationships on the basis of birth timestamp in relation to current UTC time?
@animuson What, the question (and the site) aren't asking for legal advice. I have yet to see anybody express concern because of COPPA.
 
It doesn't need to directly ask for legal advice, but the question is definitely in reference to COPPA and preventing minors from releasing PII on the Internet.
 
What just happened in the First Posts queue?
I've never seen it over 15 (and that's with the new caching).
 
@animuson How does it have anything to do with COPPA?
 
@Shog9 HALP
you made the change, right?
 
12:18 AM
@Braiam what?
 
@Braiam what?
 
oh, hey... Looks like the weekly scheduled tasks finally ran
 
@Shog9 the first ordered list of this meta.stackexchange.com/q/236537/213575
 
@Shog9 What are those?
 
@bjb568 the ones that delete dead questions and so on
other stuff
less interesting stuff
deleting dead questions is the important bit
because if your first question gets deleted...
then suddenly your second question is your first!
 
12:20 AM
Ah.
 
@AstroCB see above ^^^
 
@bjb568 looks incredibly spammy
 
@Shog9 I see. Does this occur regularly (weekly scheduled tasks)?
 
@Braiam Does it sell you shoes?
 
@AstroCB yes
well, it's supposed to
 
12:22 AM
@Shog9 Interesting: as I've said, I've never seen that queue at over 15.

Q: Is the 30-day roomba broken?

900 sit-ups a dayThe weekly script removing 30-day old, negatively scored, unanswered questions used to run on Saturdays (U.S. time, sorry about local time reference) for as long as I remember. It does not appear to have run this weekend, though: I saw no big splash of deletions in the 10K tools, and eligible q...

that usually doesn't happen
 
I always liked checking on events over scheduled checks. Like instead of delete if it meets criteria every week, delete if it meets criteria on page view.
 
I hate those
 
@Shog9 So it not running until now caused a buildup that caused this inflation in the queue?
 
@AstroCB sorta
maybe an example will help
this is in the queue right now. But it's only in the queue because this was deleted
make sense?
 
12:27 AM
@Shog9 Ah, yes.
It just seemed odd.
 
emergent behavior!
 
> Thank you for reviewing 20 first posts today; come back in 23 hours to continue reviewing.
O_O
 
@Braiam Yesh? What's the problem? Not enough reviews?
 
btw, @Shog9, you should make more nasty audits... I totally saw that one comming
 
0
Q: I want to review more

bjb568There are 15 edits in the queue. There is a orange thing at the top. I want to review! …but I finished 20 reviews today. I can haz moar reviewz? Allow more reviews with more reputation? Allow more reviews when audits are passed? Allow more reviews after steward? Allow more reviews in general?

 
12:32 AM
you're supposed to see them coming
2
 
@Shog9 There's still low-quality reviewers that aren't proper robos, can't there be tests for them?
 
@Shog9 the late answers got the same feature?
 
You can make a bot that does a repetitive action, except when there's an audit (which the UA is notified of) when it can skip.
@Braiam Every queue.
 
Now I see why I never notice: 160 reviews were handled in ~20 minutes.
 
You understand that the links may break at any time and thus sharing them is borderline sociopathic, but you want to make it easier and more obvious? — Shog9 ♦ 7 mins ago
 
12:36 AM
hey, that was cool, I normally get depressed seeing the FP queue, but today I even upvoted posts
3
 
@AstroCB Yup. Too many reviewers, too few posts. Too many robos. I say it should be at least 3 reviews per post.
 
@bjb568 That would make sense due to the fact that it has the lowest rep barrier and, therefore, the highest number of potential reviewers.
 
It's rare for me too.
I had to go to page 2.
@Braiam FSM... sometimes I even approve edits...
 
> This edit changes too much in the original post; the original meaning or intent of the post would be lost.
ಠ_ಠ
so... I should just flagged too broad?
 
No, the idiot review doesn't know how to review.
Your edit was fine.
 
12:42 AM
@bjb568 can you fix this title? stackoverflow.com/questions/25161970/…

Q: Working on a C# hangman game, cant figure out how to detect multiple letters

HexicIm a newbie, so I decided to make a hangman game, but I've arrived at a problem. The game works perfectly for words that don't have duplicate letters (juice, chair, fun). I have the word be chosen at random from a list of all words from the English dictionary, and whenever I get a word with multi...

> PS: I dont understand the things
 
@JanDvorak Well they're certainly speaking the same language, whatever that language may be.
Unless the OP's having a serious internal struggle.
 
is there a chance of sockpuppetry?
 
There is always a chance of sockpuppetry; perhaps there are only two users on all of SE: You, and the guy with all the rest of the accounts.
 
@JasonC you should be able to prove that, then
I'm back to Chrome, BTW
 
@JanDvorak But then I'd get caught.
 
@Jamal that offensive answer?
 
Yup

@JasonC too many deleted answers from low-reps
 
Thanks
 
is this ok?
@hichris123 1 more cv needed
 
@JasonC Shog or Jon?
 
@iStimple not at all, I'd say. But others might disagree.
 
@hichris123 1 more cv needed
 
4:00 AM
@Braiam Yes.
 
@JanDvorak yes, for sure. both joined meta.SE today, and their only activity is on the same q/a
 
user163250
@JasonC 2 deleted posts from low rep (1 rep?) users.
 
4:16 AM
@hichris123 with those type of old questions with over 100 views.. and your the first close vote.. i just don't know.. it seems like the cv's will just end up being wasted since they'll expire
it's hard to get 4 other people even in this room to close em
I would totally be game to close questions like that, if like 5 or more of us got our own room and just focused on closing those type of questions, where we wouldn't have to worry about wasting cv's
 
cough @animuson cough
 
@hichris123 1 more needed @animuson
 
4:32 AM
Let's end every line of chat text with @animuson
 
@JasonC with what? @animuson
 
@animuson isn't going to like us when he gets back... @animuson
 
@JanDvorak I see what you did there! @animuson
 
@bluefeet Can you provide any insight into if these meet any flag criteria? The answer poster there was going to ping you although I'm unsure if he did or not. Thanks.

why SO doesn't allow you to use annotation tags in the comments ?
this seems bug
 
Annotation tags?
 
like @TargetAPI
@SuppressLint
 
Did you try putting them into inline code styling (backticks)?
 
5:57 AM
it gives you some error message, no
 
The @ sign gets interpreted as an attempt to notify another user, and you can only have one per comment.
 
@animuson yup it works then
thanks

I think I've seen BoltClock do that too.
 
user163250
Is it a mod policy not to insta-delete rants like that?
 
user163250
6:23 AM
BoltClock's case I can sort of see it, since the rant is a little more substantial: meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/267974/…
 
user163250
Still though...?
 
I went off to look at his SO profile after I closed it to see what the hell he was complaining about.
 
> The reason this question is being asked here is that instead of even an "afaik" answer on the uLink forums we received rather defensive answers such as "why do you want to do that?" or "What doesn't uLink provide?" etc.
Ha and he expected a better response here? The nerve on this guy... Doesn't he know Stack Overflow sucks?

which is a shame, because I wanted to downvote it

@animuson if he tries it one more time and hasn't actually asked something that isn't a rant, consider just giving him a time out.

@Bart GO CLOSE SOME QUESTIONS!!! Since animuson has decided to be lazy, you have to pick up the slack! :P
 
Well, to be fair, my day so far went like: "Let's go to work. Great, I am here, now what? Oh I know, let's go answer some questions on Sta... wait, is that a chicken. What the heck... it is a chicken. What is a cute little chicken doing here?!"

Also a good amount of the questions that are being edited should be closed.
