[ SmokeDetector ] All-caps title: VOLUME USING INTEGRATION by DOH FONCHAM on math.stackexchange.com

is spyhunter blacklisted?

@ʎǝʞuoɯɹǝqʎɔ, while I don't personally find the word asshole all that offensive that is directed against all users of Math.SE which is why it's offensive. If it was a question that started by saying "Some asshole keeps stealing my garden gnomes and I'm looking for a way to prevent it..." that's a bit different.

@PeterJ "Some asshole keeps stealing my garden gnomes and I'm looking for a way to prevent it..." would get heavily downvoted, then edited away

10:29 AM

@Jan, sure just pointing out the difference between an offensive flag and what can be edited to remove a word some may find offensive

ie changing in that case to idiots would still leave it offensive IMO

already the title is enough to flag as offensive

Hmm..

@Bionic you can suggest an edit with a reputation of 1 and end up on that list if enough are approved. You'd get +2 for each one but then could lose it for other reasons so could be on the list with a reputation of 1.

I know that MSE doesn't get question banned users very often, but it happens on SO all the time. Some of them usually reach 20 reputation by that time though, and end up posting their off topic versions of questions in chat. Do you think it would make sense to make the barrier a little higher for entering chat if a user is question banned?

Well, for rooms without an active owner that can be a problem. I'm not sure if raising the barrier is a good response. That is basically the same as giving up that kind of users.

Why would it matter if there were an active owner or not?

Also, "giving up"? Is chat supposed to be some sort of rehabilitation for users?
