@rlemon Better not be ole' zig zag.

rlemon

nahh there is no hacking

look at the questions

the thing is that this isn't the only account

J. Musser

@rlemon Just did.

rlemon

he bounces to a new account when the old ones are suspended

J. Musser

@rlemon example account?

rlemon

Sumer Kolcak, Turkey

1 4

that isn't the only name he goes by

J. Musser

8:02 PM

dumb guy...

rlemon

and look at the number of Sumer Kolack's that have been made in the last month

sure it could be a coincidence, but I doubt it

Sterling Archer

Not to mention that psychotic twitter account

rlemon

the original Sumer Kolack account I noticed was the one that was doing the star spam bot months back

Sterling Archer

that was annoying as hell

J. Musser

I should create a fake account, and use it to give guff to old zig.

@SterlingArcher I wouldn't know, never been there.

rlemon

8:05 PM

and as soon as that user (Sumer) was removed the first time was minutes (maybe 20) before the first Swastika spam started

Sterling Archer

I pinged google, and forgot to close my terminal... I've been pinging google for going on 6 hours now by accident.

Ooops

rlemon

again, could be coincidental... but very unlikely.

balpha

@TGMCians he accessed an old account that was created with a throwaway email account by recreating the same throwaway email account

that doesn't count as hacking in my book

that barely counts as "cute"

A: Variable amount of slices : Pie Chart concept

Here you go http://jsfiddle.net/bqah9jex/10/ .. extra compact Javascript, HTML and CSS code to represent Pie Chart. HTML <div id="a"></div> CSS #a{width:25em;height:25em;border:1em red solid;text-align:center; border-radius:50%;background:#fff;position:relative } .l{width:100%;border:1px ...

answering yourself is cute as well

Sterling Archer

@balpha I guess adorable is pushing it then?

I'm judging his goggles.

I don't know why. But I'm judging them.

rlemon

8:07 PM

what isn't adorable is when they spam your blogs / social media after all is said and done.. for months :P

anyway. I've been noticing him jump in and out of the JS room today

the user join animation always grabs my attention

J. Musser

We should stop talking and talking about the low-life, and find something to do.

rlemon

code?

hichris123

sleep

J. Musser

@hichris123 Don't be boring.

@hichris123 Is it late where you are? Only 4:15 pm here.

hichris123

... you mean 4:16.

I'm on EDT too.

J. Musser

8:16 PM

@hichris123 When I posted it, I was right. :)

@hichris123 How could you sleep at 1/4 after 4?

hichris123

@J.Musser I won't. I'm cold though, so I have a blanket.

J. Musser

@hichris123 Ha!

rlemon

I could pass out

bjb568

@balpha More serial downvotes against me... Is this one account or multiple ones?

J. Musser

It's like 80°F here.

Sterling Archer

8:18 PM

@bjb568 I got serially upvoted today. that was a first

rlemon

at least they choose already downvoted stuff.;

I hate when they spite dv a high rated answer

DONT YOU KNOW I GET BADGES FOR THOSE!

J. Musser

@rlemon I never get down-voted on GL, cause I'm always right.

bjb568

@rlemon Yeah... I don't think it's only 1 illegitimate downvote on them. I know there were a few natural-looking votes on them tho.

rlemon

I don't agree with either answer, so I upvoted a different one to compensate

:D

sure Canvas isn't Ideal for text... but shit.. context.fillText exists for a reason :P

bjb568

@rlemon Not for rewriting a browser...

rlemon

8:23 PM

no, but as a Canvas guy I can't upvote that. so I upvoted your latest bgimage one

I looked through like 5 answers too

not just a random upvote :P

A: Switch Statement Quotes

I just hacked this account. for proof look at the time since joiningn :-)

son of a bitch

it's starting again

Lynn Crumbling

bah.

rlemon

Balpha leaves and joins again?

blamecaching.com

how is this not a site

hichris123

@SterlingArcher Post them in here, I'll joyfully flag them.

Sterling Archer

I'll post em as I see em

rlemon

8:28 PM

nuked

this troll has been on the JS room members for ... 3 months now?

maybe longer?

Sterling Archer

The persistence is both impressive and frightening.

Anna Lear

@SterlingArcher "hacked"

rlemon

it's really daunting to have to deal with this crap constantly.

but my other solution is to leave so for a while. and I don't wanna do that

Sterling Archer

@AnnaLear hacked so hard :(

@rlemon yeah I'd much rather not leave because of a troll.

Somebody told me I should find another chat on meta.stackoverflow. I got mad at the lack of compassion and deleted the question.

rlemon

I really enjoy helping people on the chats. otherwise I wouldn't bother hanging out in here :P

Sterling Archer

8:32 PM

^

J. Musser

@rlemon Flag it and get badges!

rlemon

yea I don't like the taste of just being complacent and moving to a new room

hichris123

@J.Musser haha, yeah.

rlemon

the JS room owners started a second room and it has really left a bad taste in my mouth

Sterling Archer

yet again... ^

rlemon

8:33 PM

I'm not helping anyone if i'm in a room with just my friends who all know as much js as I do, if not more

Sterling Archer

tastes like ass. i hate it. i suck enough at multi-tasking chats already

J. Musser

At least he's not on here.

Sterling Archer

Don't be surprised if he is transcript lurking.

rlemon

^

like to flag / star / lurk in the transcripts

but as has been mentioned, talking about it feeds the troll

so i'm done now :P

We should stop talking and talking about the low-life, and find something to do.

rlemon

8:36 PM

what I do find amusing is that a mod nuked the other sumer kolcak's and the three remaining all have pre-existing suspensions on them

:smirks and dives back into his own server mess:

hichris123

stackoverflow.com/a/25774640/2581872 .

rlemon

stackoverflow.com/q/9240505/829835 ... I don't think I knew who Zigi was there

lemon was his key?

creepy.

ohai

J. Musser

Am I the only person here with 17 popular question badges on their main site?

rlemon

28 popular, 2 famous :)

J. Musser

@rlemon On SO?

rlemon

8:46 PM

yup

Sterling Archer

I only have 5

1 famous

1 notable

J. Musser

@rlemon On GL I have 17 popular, 8 notable, and 4 (almost 5) famous.

rlemon

When I joined SO I had just come off a ~5 yea hiatus where I didn't touch programming

so I had a lot of "hurrrr" type questions

I didn't even know what jQuery was :/

J. Musser

@rlemon I never tough programming.

Doorknob

@J.Musser That's weird; I never weak programming.

hichris123

8:49 PM

@rlemon Better drop that and try jQuery.

J. Musser

@Doorknob *touch

@Doorknob Not really my thing.

hichris123

@SterlingArcher we're... on that last one.

J. Musser

Gotta get off; cya!

Sterling Archer

Say what now?

hichris123

cya

@SterlingArcher look at your inbox.

... actually, might not be there anymore. It was on stackoverflow.com/questions/22643061/i-broke-my-promise.

Sterling Archer

8:53 PM

I don't see anything. Must be gone

Doorknob

@hichris123 User nuked.

hichris123

@SterlingArcher Oh right you don't have 10k.

Sterling Archer

Nope. Getting there lol

Florian Margaine

9 popular questions, out of the 28 questions I ever asked.

hichris123

@SterlingArcher I totally thought you did. Maybe it's rlemon that I was thinking of?

Sterling Archer

8:54 PM

@hichris123 what did it say?

Naw, I only have like.. 7.3k. lemon is over 10k

hichris123

Deleted so to not feed troll.

Sterling Archer

Agreed

hichris123

@SterlingArcher another.

Sterling Archer

I see it

Imma get a gold flag badge just of this guy lol

hichris123

yup. :D

Sterling Archer

8:58 PM

ChrisF just protected my question <3

I wonder if he can protect our whole accounts...

hichris123

@SterlingArcher Yeah, we're... fighting it.

Sterling Archer

Guy claims to have an account regenerating bot. Wonder if that helps

Martijn Pieters

@AnnaLear: another account to nuke: stackoverflow.com/users/4028551/sumer-kolcak

Anna Lear

@MartijnPieters removed

Martijn Pieters

\o/, thanks

Sterling Archer

9:02 PM

@AnnaLear you wouldn't perhaps know why he's able to make accounts unrestricted like that?

Anna Lear

@SterlingArcher what would stop him, exactly?

He has a lot of time and nothing better to do? I dunno.

Martijn Pieters

waves and heads off again.

Sterling Archer

I'm assuming an IP block would do nothing?

Anna Lear

@SterlingArcher Nope. IP blocks are useless against persistent people. They just get a new IP.

He can't post anything, so I'm not terribly worried about these new accounts. Meh.

Sterling Archer

Bleh. If this continues I may just leave SO.

Doorknob

9:05 PM

> yeah you can keep going all night with your manual labor while my bot handles you my dear mods

Lol

Sterling Archer

Not worth it

Florian Margaine

@SterlingArcher where are you going? IRC?

Sterling Archer

Miaou maybe lol

Florian Margaine

k

Doorknob

@SterlingArcher ... how does this affect you in any way? You realize eventually if you use this logic you're going to have to not use the internet at all? :P

Anna Lear

9:07 PM

@SterlingArcher Have you considered not worrying about Sumer? I have literally never run into him outside of getting pings to handle various outbursts. Use SO and leave the trolls. :)

Sterling Archer

I like the SO chats. JS specifically. He's made that room hell, and I'm not the only one sick of it.

When something happens, it's talked about for hours after.

I'm not trying to whine, and I'd love to stay and help people in the chat, but not if this keeps up.

I hope you understand where I'm coming from?

Anna Lear

Yeah, I do.

Sterling Archer

Bet. Well, thanks for the help and all the previous help with this guy. Hope it stops for good soon.

Haney

9:27 PM

how do I page the code review mods?

hichris123

@Haney Go into TL.

Haney

ah my bad, that's where I meant to be

thx

hichris123

np. ;)

bjb568

9:46 PM

Interesting youtube playlist youtube.com/…

rlemon

@AnnaLear what if we do run into them?

Anna Lear

My usual way to handle trolls is to be very mechanical - flag, delete, downvote, whatever. Don't engage.

Granted, it doesn't always work. But usually... :)

rlemon

I try not too, but this particular troll isn't above spamming profanity / vulgarity on my google plus (before I locked it down)

eh, i'm just sour about the entire thing

no pun intended

Anna Lear

yeah, I hear ya

Benjamin Gruenbaum

10:08 PM

@rlemon oh look I got CC'd in the meta tavern

Hi everyone!

Next round's on me

rlemon

damn, I just opened a beer

Benjamin Gruenbaum

I've had one too many today

Do you know what Arak is?

rlemon

I've had one sip of one :P

no but give me 30 seconds to google it and I will

Benjamin Gruenbaum

So, I go to this amazing restaurant. Had amazing food.

rlemon

nice proof

Benjamin Gruenbaum

10:10 PM

They have a policy that your cup can never be empty

rlemon

do you drink it straight? mixed? on the rocks (over ice)

Benjamin Gruenbaum

They take their policies very seriously

We've had three beers, a glass of wine. 5 chasers of Arak, one of Vodka and one of absinthe

rlemon

ahh so you shoot it

Benjamin Gruenbaum

Yeah, a chaser here is when you pour the drink into a shot glass and then have it all at once

hichris123

@BenjaminGruenbaum Is 'go home, you're drunk' applicable here? :P

rlemon

10:12 PM

drunk Benji is fun

talk to him about maths

Benjamin Gruenbaum

@hichris123 I'm not really drunk, I've just had a few drinks. I also just coded something for a friend in Python so I think I'm good.

hichris123

It's graduation day!

rlemon

.... ponders on how he could write an extension to merge .so and .se chat sidebars

Doorknob

@hichris123 Yaaaay! confetti

Q: What's going on with code blocks?

Is this how code blocks should look? In addition to the lack of syntax highlighting, it looks like inline code! How about a unified rectangle instead? Put the border on the <pre>, not <code>. enter preformatted text here ^ Why not "enter code here"? Also, while writing this meta post "draft...

Q: Better questions should be featured in the tour

If you hop over to the tour, you'll see that Is it possible to Remove fields using Change Sets deployment? is the featured question. Single sentence question, single sentence answer. Meeeeeeeeeeh. I can think of plenty of better options. Could it be changed? We wouldn't want to misguide new use...
