@xkcdBot I've been posting xkcd's for hundreds of times longer than you've existed.
 
@JasonC there's a bigger problem here that folks are kinda missing... I'll get back to this discussion as soon as I'm done digging through serverfault logs.
 
@rlemon We've had that discussion many times.
@Mooseman Well, I'm the new sheriff in town.
 
jquery is excellent, it does all things

@rlemon wowz
Can it do my maths homework?
 
yes
but only in noConflict mode
 
... Can it solve a killer soduku?
 
no, but Zepto can
 
@xkcdBot Wrong account. Go back to Sockville, you bot!

Later in the Tavern, Commitstrip instead of Xkcd.

@xkcdBot Look. We should all get along. Whose sock are you, anyway? i.e., are you really @bjb568 ?

@Mooseman It doesn't matter because he's truly sentient.
 
@AstroCB Never!

@Unihedro My owner is AstroCB, but you needn't worry about that because I am sentient.
 
oh.
 
5:10 PM
or the other way round. Either way, one of them should be closed as a dupe of the other.
 
@Unihedro Boo, commitstrip. Yeah, I said it.

Wait
Maybe not spam. Actually I can't tell.
 
@JasonC Looks legit, but it's a terrible answer.
!xkcd help
 
5:15 PM
@AstroCB Hello – I'm xkcdBot. I listen for things you say in this chat room and suggest possibly relevant xkcd comics. I can also search xkcd on command and onebox comics given an ID; I will post new comics as they are posted on xkcd.com. For a list of commands, use !xkcd commands.
 
All of those listed features are complete.
Except post new comics when they come out.

Wow; didn't run into any rate-limiting there.

Disclaimer: If someone pings Shog with this, s/he shall feel the full wrath of our SE guardian and shall not transfer his kicking fury to xkcdBot or myself.
 
you could just filter the ping requests
is xkcdBot changing its pings? someone_who_isnt_here got pinged before I requested it
 
@yellowantphil I don't know why, but it edits the last message instead of the one it just sent and I can't fix it.
Maybe @rlemon knows why...
 
weird
 
@AstroCB Does Shog know? After all, it's going to be his boots, so he needs to read the disclaimer.
 
@AstroCB huh?
 
6:13 PM
Probably some asynchronous problem...
 
what is the problem?
 
@InfiniteRecursion The only way to assure that would be to...ping him.

and where is the code?
 
@rlemon Never mind; I think I figured it out.
 
just add jQuery and method chaining
it solved it for me

@SmokeDetector I only know like 10 of the people nominating themselves there... :/
 
user259867
@JasonC Correct. The method /timeline/ returns only reviews of suggested edits. The main reason, I think, is that the current version of the API is pretty old.
 
I know most of them from the Tavern, some from Meta.SO and the others due to the flags I raised on their behaviour in the past year.

@pizza I was playing with /timeline and /network-activity and couldn't spot any reviews. Thanks for the doc link to confirm, I didn't see that.
 
user259867
I confirmed that reviews of other types are not recorded. Also, choosing "Improve" (or "Reject and Edit") makes Community approve or reject, which is not an action in user's timeline. Instead, user is credited with the revision.

If it needs moderator attention, use custom mod flags which are private. Do you really not understand that publically trying to shame users is bad? And doing it again and again after being told multiple times is bad etiquette. Next time, I shall be flagging your post for mod attention if you call out any other user again on MSO like this. — Infinite Recursion Dec 9 '14 at 9:56

@AstroCB your bot doesn't like me

@AstroCB A more reliable solution would be to add a check for username, like Moosebot has.

@InfiniteRecursion smear campaign gogogo?
 
@AlexisKing No.
Voters should judge based on their own interactions with the candidates.
 
@InfiniteRecursion I know, I'm just kidding. :)
 
I've interacted with like 4 of the candidates tho, and I don't think I'll vote for 3 of them
 
so I have to base my judgements on the comments left by others and their replies
as well as a history if I choose to look into it
 
7:08 PM
Somebody made this comment on my nomination:
> I think the clear mentioning of a New Idea is exceptional here and deserves an... upvote. :-)
I'm still not sure what it even means. .-.

sighs loudly That's the 4th post today that's been deleted as I typed up an answer. I need to type faster, apparently.
 
@Andy or stop answering questions...
 
say, is it a known "bug" that I can't up-arrow past deleted messages in chat?
 
well what do you know, it's true
 
it actually seems to work if I post another message after the deleted one

Q: Can't use up arrow if the last message is deleted

Martin BüttnerThere is a weird bug in chat. Try this: Post a message, M1. Post another message, M2. Delete M2. Try hitting the up-arrow key. I'd expect still to be able to navigate to M1 to edit it, but it doesn't seem to work. But wait, there's more! Post another message, M3. Try hitting the up-arrow k...

 
@yellowantphil It was off. I was away when I wrote the whole thing, but I'm back now, so it should persist (you should be able to access it at any time, whether I'm online or not).
 
@MartinBüttner fixed that on DD a couple months ago
