The question mark ( ? ), casually known as the interrogation point, query, and eroteme, is a punctuation mark that indicates an interrogative clause, or phrase in many languages. The question mark is not used for indirect questions. The question mark glyph is also often used in place of missing or unknown data. In Unicode, it is encoded at U+003F ? question mark (HTML ?). == History == Lynne Truss attributes an early form of the modern question mark in western language to Alcuin of York. Truss describes the punctus interrogativus of the late 8th century as "a lightning flash, striking from...

Are links in user profiles considered spam, too? If the link in this user profile was in the post, I would probably flag it as spam.
(After seeing the post Skinc Care Products Beauty Tips, I looked at the users having wioz in username. I vaguely remembered seeing other user with similar username posting a spam post.)
In fact, you can find several such post detected by SmokeDetector: chat.meta.stackexchange.com/search?q=wioz&room=89
@Martin, normally it's OK to put pretty much any links in your profile to products etc. But often spammer accounts are deleted entirely and under some rep (1 or 2k I think) the links in your profile have a nofollow so don't help with Google ranks etc. So it won't do them much good especially when there aren't any visible posts anyway.
Thanks for the reply PeterJ!
I did not know about nofollow.

Why meta stackexchange has no moderators?
Because the SE employees act as such
and they have mod powers anyhow

@Unihedron didn't understand
11:19
@Pandya Well, you can't see the mods, but they have mod powers alike and can do mod stuff.
@Unihedron ok. but why we can't see?
@Pandya Reasons.
We're not at a high enough level, I think.
what?
@Unihedron should I post it as question on meta?
If you wish, though it's already answered here.
Rene already answered your question @Pandya
Employees take care of it. And it's a pretty low-traffic site anyway
11:25
@Pandya No unicorn lover (so no Balpa support), no pony avatar (so no Bolt support), never sent bacon to SE HQ (so no support from Shog) and you don't use gender-less pronouns for people (so no Cactuar support too).
You need to find another diamond to pay because those one are out of reach.
@Pandya @Unihedron employees are only moderators if they have a diamond; being and employee per se only gives very limited additional powers
e.g. salespeople don't really need moderator powers
however, meta.stackexchange.com/users?tab=moderators excludes employed moderators (they would mostly appear on every single site)
you're right in so far as meta.se has no community moderators

To get the dark theme like that of the screenshots, select the wrench icon in the top right of the web interface and choose "Dark Theme". — Unihedron 1 min ago
@jadarnel27 back in school, we once had something similar. We opened minesweeper, made a screenshot, set it as desktop wallpaper. The lab "technician" lost about 15min trying to understand why that strange stuck instance didn't show up in task manager.

user259867
16:11
user259867
I'd like to have a reference for "sites A,B,C require registration to ask a question; sites B,C,D disallow images from new users..."
@HomegrownTomato isn't that obtainable from the /privileges api
user259867
@rene No; looking at that list you can't tell that SO requires registration to ask, and 10 rep to post images, while, say, Chemistry does not require registrarion, and is okay with images.
Ah, I see
speaking of the api, I reported a small bug with it today
nothing to do with privileges though
16:22
Yeah, repro-ed it ...
That's the best kind of bug then :)
hence my upvote...
user259867
But the report would be better placed at Stack Apps, which has far lower traffic, so such reports won't get lost. They are on topic on both places, it's just that meta has so much other stuff going on.

Just got alerted to it by an upvote…
17:22
@bjb568 Admittedly, CSS isn't my torture of choice, but those answers don't look like a copy of one another
They say the same thing: Drop jQ and use media queries.
And then provide very different code blocks
The other guy's answer doesn't add anything of value after mine and it endorses the horrible viewport meta that disables zoom.
If you use maximum-scale=1 for a non-responsive site, you are a monster.
17:24
@bjb568 Except that it uses .column while you use body, you use font-size and he uses float
@Andy They're examples, it's just dummy CSS inside the media queries.
It looks like another way to do a thing
Just admit you forgot to add to your answer that using a viewport to disable zoom would work but is a terrible solution
Why do I need that? It's barely tangentially related.
tl;dr These answers are NOT copies

Nobody would think about it at all if the other idiot didn't come storming in…

user259867
A committer is an individual who is able to modify the source code of a particular piece of open-source software. To contribute source code on most large projects, one must make modifications and then "commit" those changes to a central repository such as CVS. To have "a commit bit" on one's user account means that one is permitted to commit those changes. This dates to the use of a literal binary digit to represent yes-or-no privileges in many software systems. The Commit bit is permission to contribute to a shared source code for a software project. == Common Roles == Project committers...
