@Undo If you're thinking in terms of...diversity...my friend who won three years in a row is a straight white male from South Carolina - not exactly the definition of diversity.

@SantaClaus eh, that's a good datapoint. I can neither confirm nor deny... ;)
Anyway, the town hall thing was promising. I wouldn't want to do that exact thing again, but a few variations down the road it could be a productive tradition.
I already posted this... somewhere..., but I really like how SOCVR does their room meetings - everyone comes up with their questions beforehand, then they discuss them one at a time. With clear starts-and-ends for each.

If you had two or three rooms, with a CM or two and ~5-10 users in a single room talking about a subject instead of EVERYONE
Talk about the same subject, don't cross-pollinate
Might help get a few views on a single subject
Of course, some CMs might be more experty about something than others. Which kinda breaks the idea a little.

Q: Has live streaming Stack Exchange podcasts been discontinued?

hichris123Previously, the Stack Exchange podcasts were live streamed on YouTube or Livestream. However, the last live streamed podcast was from September 1st; there have been two additional podcasts since then. Has the practice of live streaming the podcasts been discontinued? Or was this a temporary pause...

TheLethalCoderThere seems to be a bug in the comments where if the username wraps to the next line and ends up underneath a word that contains characters like 'g' it will overlap those characters see: The image is from a comment on this answer.

Of course, the problem is precisely in that meta accounts are not marked as employees, as employee check shows. So they should be deletable.

@enderland, this should be a caching issue with the is_employee field from the API... Laura had hers turned off when she left SE, but the is_moderator field wasn't turned off. Ping a CM and/or Dev when you get the chance and ask them to clear the cache. — Quill 2 mins ago

yup, the brand new Moderator Wheel of Blame
@Telkitty I'm pretty sure Shog warns personally any new moderator of one specific troll.
@canon or just ping him in chat - doing so in the Den resulted in a quick kick:

I don't think it'd happen, since SE won't forcibly delete good contributors (one of the possible reason for having their posts remain)

@sandwich Maybe for a sockpuppet with some decent contributions.

Merging only happens at a user's request for the most part.
Especially since only an employee can merge and mods can delete.

I see. But how does this square with the attribution requirement of CC license?
 
hichris123
hichris123
Maybe because it's attributed to a user identifier? I'm not sure
 
user315433
The sockpuppetry is a ToS violation, so it makes perfect sense for the account to be deleted. But then it's not clear what giving attribution could mean, when an anonymous account number is all that remains. Ah, licenses.
 
hichris123
hichris123
Shouldn't an account ID qualify as attribution though? As it uniquely identifies the user...
 
user315433
But if another site copies SE content and replaces account names with unlinked userNNNNN, that is probably going to be frowned upon.

Q: Are the SE additions to the Creative Commons attribution requirements enforceable?

KristianIn the footer of Stack Exchange sites, it is stated that user contributions are licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0 with a contradictory and incompatible attribution requirement addendum. The “attribution required” text links to a blog post dated 25-Jun-2009 by Jeff Atwood, which appears to be more of a...

My understanding of ToS addendum is "you may argue that what you do doesn't violate the license, but don't be surprised to find your IPs blocked".
