@SterlingArcher Could be that the entire answer should have been removed instead of just the comments

Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ.

@SterlingArcher The answer you linked to seems to be deleted.

Yeah.

Sterling Archer

I was told comment flags on deleted answers was a valid still reason?

Doesn't seem like a reason to decline comment flags

bluefeet

@SterlingArcher why flag the comments after the post is deleted though?

bluefeet

but if it's already deleted your just making more work for the mods

there is no reason to flag comments on a deleted post

Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ.

@SterlingArcher Who told you?

bjb568

There's no reason to flag, but mods may as well just delete the comments and accept the flag when it happens.

bluefeet

@bjb568 there isn't any need for the mods to do anything because the answer was already deleted

bjb568

Then feature-request for flags to not work on deleted answers?

Unfortunately none of those are options sometimes. I just lost all of my extensions because of an ancient bug in Chrome that has still not been fixed, and because I am using Chromium 11 (I HATE newer versions), I cannot get Session Buddy back whatsoever because the Chrome devs refuse to support anything but the TOT (not that Google doesn’t have the frakking space to store everything forever like dishonestly claim). — Synetech Jan 27 '13 at 3:05

Looks like there's a new fashion among Bad SO Editors: putting things in quote blocks.

...and I mean things that aren't quotes.

Do they think SO posts are some kind of Christmas tree, that need decorating?

@SterlingArcher We could make new audits with <marquee>. It would not really be available in edits, only in reviews. Anyone approving an edit that introduces a <marquee> gets an instant review suspension.

@SmokeDetector Hm. Non-Latin-alphabet links are obviously a subset of non-English ones.

user259867

By the way, it's a little annoying to see the reasons lowercased... we should probably lowercase only the first letter when chaining them.

user202362

Suspect that my mac failed to wake from sleep because of a dead lock - call stack

Ilmari Karonen

@NormalHuman Should be easier to just store them lowercased (except for proper nouns etc.) and uppercase the first letter of the first reason.

user259867

Good idea. Though changing the reasons might mess up Metasmoke classification; I don't know Ruby from VBA, so can't tell how case sensitive that is.

11:21 PM

@Mysticial That's odd... balpha says here that the ID of the user who starred a message is no longer sent to the client, but I can still see it. :o Or maybe it's only for your own stars?

Could someone please star something here? For SCIENCE!!!

hichris123

11:48 PM

@IlmariKaronen I did... 26 minutes later. :P

Ilmari Karonen

@hichris123 Thanks. Looks like it indeed only sends the user ID for your own stars.

hichris123

huh

Ilmari Karonen

Here's what your star event looked like:

{"r89":{"e":[{"event_type":6,"time_stamp":1449703332,"content":"Could someone please star something here? For \u003ci\u003eSCIENCE!!!\u003c/i\u003e","id":9270315,"room_id":89,"room_name":"Ta‌vern on the Meta","message_id":4306739,"message_stars":1}],"t":9270315,"d":1}}

And here's what I got when I starred something myself:

{"r89":{"e":[{"event_type":6,"time_stamp":1449700988,"content":"whoever says use mac to avoid problems should think twice","id":9270078,"user_id":174699,"user_name":"Ilmari Karonen","room_id":89,"room_name":"Tavern on the Meta","message_id":4306564,"message_stars":1}],"t":9270078,"d":1}}

hichris123

Wonder why the user id is reported for your own stars. So the client knows to colorize it?

Ilmari Karonen

Probably. Not sure it actually uses that, but it's a nice touch at least.

Now if only the message actually indicated whether a star was added or removed... :(

Look like it does use it for something. The minified chat code is kind of hard to read even after pretty-printing, but it does contain this fragment:

var a = $('<div class="content">' + F(v(e.content, e.user_id != t)) + '</div>').appendTo(n),
o = $('<span class="stars vote-count-container' + (e.message_stars > 0 || e.message_owner_stars > 0 ? ' always' : '') + (e.message_owner_stars > 0 ? ' owner-star' : '') + '"><span class="img"/><span class="times">' + st(e.message_stars) + '</span></span>'),
r = $('<span class="flags vote-count-container' + (e.message_flags > 0 ? ' always' : '') + '"><span class="img"/><span class="times">' + st(e.message_flags) + '</span></span>'),

Note the e.user_id != t, which I assume is checking to see if the user ID in the event matches your own.

hichris123

11:58 PM

that's... hard to read. :P

Ilmari Karonen

Yeah, I really wish SE made the unminified chat JS available, the way they do for the main sites.
