A: Exclude comment flags from the helpful flag count during moderator election

The big issue I have with this is that we're making a value judgement on something that's... Pretty iffy all around. We want folks to flag truly problematic comments, just as we want them to flag truly problematic posts. As you note, it's easy enough to "farm" flag counts by flagging worthless (b...

Feedback, pls

Should suggested edits contain code fixes?

rene

@LynnCrumbling depends

Lynn Crumbling

@rene stackoverflow.com/review/suggested-edits/6754770

@rene My gut says reject, but it fixes uncompilable code. I dunno.

rene

rejected

Lynn Crumbling

@rene Curious what your case is for 'yes, fix is accepted'

> Lynn Crumbling has approved 696 edit suggestions and rejected 2 edit suggestions

Well, that's blatantly wrong.

I've probably rejected hundreds.

this must be the '1' you rejected :)

@LynnCrumbling in code I only accept identation/layout in an answer if not python

Braiam

@LynnCrumbling is a bug

Lynn Crumbling

@rene ah, well - that makes plenty of sense.

@Braiam ok.. good to know; thanks

this week... I started playing with WPF using MVVM. I really was hating it. Today I had that 'ah-ha!' moment.. now I think I'm falling in love with it.

@rene It's frustrating to see a suggestion get accepted that you know is crap.

rene

Yeah, that is the reason I stopped handling those reviews

I'm not here to get frustrated

Lynn Crumbling

@Shog9 Looks great!

The only thing I'm wondering is if those caps are good enough to prevent gaming during an election..

I have no respect for people who nominate themselves and then go on a flagging/answer/reviewing spree just to make their stats look good and then leave as soon as the election is over.

Jan Dvorak

Why vote for me: my stats are not inflated by increased activity due to incoming moderator elections

ɥʇǝS

7:42 PM

Not only is this a lie, but it makes bad candidates look much better than they are.

Jan Dvorak

As if other elections did not do it

rene

It would be a great stat. Average activity vs actvity last quater, last month, last week. If those last 3 are increasing and above the average ... that is a sign..

ɥʇǝS

@JanDvorak Don't anthropomorphize elections, they hate it.

user259867

@ɥʇǝS A possible solution: display the stats as of the day before the election was announced.

ɥʇǝS

hmm, that didn't quite work.

@Fundamental Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

Not striving hard enough, it seems. Could have renamed ExpressionEngine® Answers prior to graduation.
