Morning!

J. Steen

Morning!

SilentKiller

Morning!

AstroCB

@bjb568 I thought bjb went to sleep; it must be a bot feature...

Jan Dvorak

Time to bork the borkey?

AstroCB

@pizza What?

ProgramFOX

07:01

@pizza There were 30 people who nominated themselves; so to enter, you had to have more rep than the person with the lowest rep there, which was 3,195.

AstroCB

bummi

@ProgramFOX it's showing 1 answer for me in the meta profile since days, but nothing on aviatioon

ProgramFOX

@bummi link?

user259867

Okay, I concede the point.

ProgramFOX

@AstroCB there's also a yellow box below that one

J. Steen

07:02

WE HAVE A WINNER.

(of the argument)

Andrew T.

Interesting... create a morning train bot

AstroCB

@ProgramFOX Oh – he meant the reputation threshold.

J. Steen

I'm amused. Of the people in here, a significant portion are mod candidates.

AstroCB

@J.Steen People in here are very moderation-oriented.

bummi

@ProgramFOX stackexchange.com/users/6007871/jeanine-pirro?tab=accounts

Andrew T.

07:03

But nobody's elected, then Tavern revolts.

J. Steen

@AstroCB Yes. As am I, I just don't have the time or the actual reputation, I suspect.

ProgramFOX

@bummi Hm, I see.

probably caching, indeed

bummi

since days?

ProgramFOX

hmm...

AstroCB

@J.Steen It may also have something to do with the fact that we had a nomination-encouragement session (and, subsequently, a concession speech one after we realized that we were all going to lose) earlier.

J. Steen

07:05

@AstroCB I wish real politicians would do that.

user259867

@bummi The caching of network profile is buggy in some mysterious ways. I would let the SE devs worry about that... though I don't think they care.

J. Steen

Oi vey.

You can do that with jQuery. — ataravati 7 hours ago

ProgramFOX

@bummi I cannot find any post from that user, then I have no idea why it shows "1".

user259867

My network profile shows 0 posts for some sites where I do have a post. So...

user259867

@ProgramFOX I pondered the idea of excluding emails preceded by = or #, which would avoid fps from an email (or similar string) used as a URL parameter, like here.

bummi

07:06

@ProgramFOX I reported to Contact us on Meta, together with 2 other Site wide spammers and 3 suspected site wide spammers ... we will see

user259867

Couldn't come up with an appropriate regex, though. :(

ProgramFOX

@pizza I see, I'll try to find a regex for that.

Jason C

@AstroCB Honestly, though, until we all withdraw, we should probably stop pretending our concession speeches were real, heh.

AstroCB

@SmokeDetector tpu Spam

SmokeDetector

@AstroCB Blacklisted user.

J. Steen

07:13

Holy crap, offensive formatting.

Jason C

But it's bold and italic, how can it possibly be spam? If it is, it's very well disguised.

SilentKiller

@JasonC freedomlovespelltemple.yolasite.com link

AstroCB

@JasonC Those clever spammers...

SilentKiller

at the end of the answer.

J. Steen

@SilentKiller I suspect Jason was being sarcastic.

Jason C

07:15

Oh hey thanks, I never would have suspected.

ProgramFOX

@SmokeDetector gone

J. Steen

cv-pls too broad stackoverflow.com/questions/29485814/…

^ Understatement on "too broad".

DroidDev

@JasonC not gonna vote for you in elections because you wrecked the train :P

James

@J.Steen Understatement, on understatement

Jason C

@DroidDev I thought it was a proper caboose.

James

07:17

@J.Steen The phrase 'honking great' come to mind

now replace the word honking with a string of expletives that would curl someone's beard, and you are close

J. Steen

SilentKiller

J. Steen

I may have picked the wrong close-reason, but ultimately... that's what's wrong.

User has no idea how code works. Ergo, typo-error.

DroidDev

@JasonC wrong thought :P

Jason C

Lol

J. Steen

07:20

Why do I smell egg.

ProgramFOX

@pizza I found one (?<![=#])\b[A-z0-9_.%+-]+@[A-z0-9_.%+-]+\.[A-z]{2,4}\b

I'll apply it now

DroidDev

@J.Steen because of your nose :P

Jason C

Doesn't that mean you're about to have a stroke?

Oh wait that's toast. But it's still breakfast.

J. Steen

@DroidDev Gee, thanks.

user259867

@ProgramFOX Cool, but this will not be surrounded in extra boundaries like other regexes, right?

ProgramFOX

07:21

nope

user259867

Good.

J. Steen

Hahaha. The other team are talking about sprints like they know what it is.

God I need a new job.

AstroCB

Let's test bjb's bot again.

Morning!

bjb568

AstroCB

And there you have it.

Jan Dvorak
