On their own site they are, but some things require network effort.
 
okay, that makes sense
 
CM seems like they're mostly there to facilitate communication between community and staff
 
as I mentioned before though - I do actually feel we need more CMs and more folks on the front end
 
and then do these super-janitorial things like appointing mods, organizing elections, cleaning up serial voting, etc.
 
3:01 PM
@Magisch ideally, sure.
@Magisch exactly. :/
 
@Mag mods don't clean up serial voting?
 
@publicstaticvoidmain cms do
 
@publicstaticvoidmain not directly
actually we often don't even know unless someone complains
 
I've always though mods do :/
 
naw
there's a black box system that deals with it
We don't know the parameters either
 
3:02 PM
It's not hard to figure out reasonably precisely how that system works btw
 
I think Shog once ranted about responding to emails/support tickets taking all his time.
 
All the things I never knew other people didn't know...
 
It's not public but if you want to find out there's a good approximation easily available
 
You mean it's not @public. :P
 
@Magisch if people knew how it worked, they could game it
not knowing works for us cause... we can say we don't know.
 
3:03 PM
is it hidden in a @Shadow ?
 
@JourneymanGeek correct. If I felt so inclined I could game it
 
@forest tries hard to reverse engineer the formula, yeah.
 
so could you if you spent 2 hours looking into it
 
@publicstaticvoidmain oh, there are so many things hidden inside me.... :P
 
@Magisch I'm unlikely to fall afowl of it.
 
3:04 PM
there's a secondary and tertiary system in place behind the scenes though
 
@Shadow you have no idea how many unnecessary and hidden things clutter up the main method
 
staring at a black box for 2 hours doesn't seem... entertaining :/
 
@Magisch literally it works like...
 
Coffee break!!!
!!/coffee pub
 
"HEY GUYS! I JUST GOT A VOTING REVERSAL!"
 
3:04 PM
@ShadowWizard brews a cup of Cappuccino for @pub
 
@pub hope you drink coffee already?
 
and then we take a look, then we know it happened, and do the needful.
 
Think I started at 14 or 15.
 
@Journey did you gain or lose rep?
 
@publicstaticvoidmain I lose rep quite a bit off users getting deleted...
 
3:05 PM
@JourneymanGeek meta.stackoverflow.com/a/355999/5389107 here's a writeup of the backend invisible system
 
I rarely get serial voted apparently and zat is fine
 
I rarely get serial upvoted except from my non-existent sock puppets ;)
@Shadow I don't drink coffee.
 
@publicstaticvoidmain :(
What about tea? @pub
 
@ShadowWizard this kinda reminds me that little incident involving Tinkerbell (not the angry parrot, the lovely little fairy) and a cup of coffee.
 
@Shadow no.
 
3:06 PM
@publicstaticvoidmain so... what do you drink?! ;)
 
jQuery
 
I prefer simple programming juice :)
actually usually just water
 
@Derpy huh? Remind me?
 
@ShadowWizard I have a thermos of OJ at work ;p
 
The third system mentioned in that post are probably a lot of internal more sophisticated SEDE queries factoring in a lot of correlation factors
 
3:07 PM
Smokey never gave Tinker the right coffee?
 
awkward silence
 
@publicstaticvoidmain but... Java is coffee... or didn't you know? ;)
@JourneymanGeek OJ?
 
@Shadow I prefer to drink my C++ instead of my Java ;)
 
@Derpy Hey! I'm not an angry parrot unless you make me one!
 
@andmyself he usually doesn't. ;)
 
3:10 PM
I guess I should really be called int main
 
@publicstaticvoidmain oh, pointer juice.
 
mmm... yummy pointer juice!
 
You actually drink a pointer to the real drink.
 
I prefer to drink a reference to the real drink
 
Risky, what if your digestive system changes the reference? @pub
 
3:11 PM
At least it can't nullify the reference
 
It can, what else pee is doing? :D
 
@ShadowWizard "The New adventures of Peter Pan", a "recent" animated show. Was an India/France/Germany co-work I think
 
@Derpy and how is it related to cup of coffee?
 
I think they only make the pointers null
By the way, there is another public static void main stackoverflow.com/users/2922898/public-static-void-main
 
@publicstaticvoidmain ohh. Well, check it out and update us. :D
 
3:13 PM
@ShadowWizard In one episode, the aforementioned fairy out of curiosity drinks a full cup of coffee she finds in Wendy house
 
I will, once they add the nullref keyword :)
 
no void main, but still.... ;)
 
wow, I like this person's choice of name
 
consider the effect coffee has on younger people, then also consider that Tinkerbell was smaller than the cup. You get the idea.
 
@Derpy sounds.... gross? lol
 
3:15 PM
Basically... sugar rush plus kaioken times 10
 
If only public static understood the value of java...
 
Raging fairy running around smashing things
 
@publicstaticvoidmain enlighten him! ;)
@Derpy ohhh, that must be funny though!
 
I will use my javaular powers to enlighten him!
 
hmm.... how come you're not at school? @pub
 
3:17 PM
oh, wait, found it
 
I'm taking the day off
 
@Shadow I haven't pinged you in a while
@Shadow
 
Also somehow similar to the old Dr. Slump episode where Arale finds the coffee mug.
 
3:19 PM
You can just "take a day off" like that?! @pub lol
 
Yeah, when I want to :)
 
Back when I was at school, I needed some good excuse e.g. being really sick... :D
 
My mom lets me stay home once in a while
 
tagging @pub as a spoiled kid :P
 
Yeah, in that way I'm kinda spoiled
 
3:20 PM
What you do when taking such days off? Except chatting with strangers? ;) @public
 
Heh. Back in my days. We could get classes off by getting high grades.
 
@Tinkeringbell wow... that's a dream for the younger me.... lol
 
@Shadow I play videogames
 
@publicstaticvoidmain nice! Which?
 
3:21 PM
This usually meant I had 2/3 free days every period (schoolyear was 4 periods)
 
@publicstaticvoidmain that's a video game??
checking
 
huh, you're correct. lol
 
just fyi, there is a "minecraft" tag on stack overflow :) stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/minecraft
 
You play online with friends, or just by yourself? @pub
 
3:22 PM
usually on public servers
 
So you write mods, I assume?
 
Yeah, I haven't released any yet though
 
I never used mods in video games, it just doesn't feel right for me. But I'm really old school on those things. lol
 
@publicstaticvoidmain played enigmatica 2 expert modpack?
 
I did cheat in Doom though.
 
3:24 PM
I cheat all the time in Minecraft
 
@ShadowWizard that is a modding sandbox
 
@Derpy hmm.... guess it is.
Any other @public games? ;)
 
basically, just like they do with The Elder scroll, they sell you an incomplete, not really great game
and then you mod it to completion
 
@Derpy well, I did enjoy it without mods. :)
@publicstaticvoidmain no ping
 
3:26 PM
@Sha
 
See@public
@publicstaticvoidmain yes ping
 
then you realize you have 14gb worth of mods on top of Oblivion :P
 
@publicstaticvoidmain pinged!
 
3:27 PM
@ShadowWizard orange juice 🍊
 
Everyone who does not know java WILL READ EVERYTHING ON THIS LINK:tutorialspoint.com/java
and then you will understand how incredible java is

@publicstaticvoidmain I only see a few, perhaps the rest is in time out?
 
@Dro deserved it! :D
@Tinkeringbell chat rate limit
 
@Tin yes maybe
 
Probably @pub didn't notice some weren't sent
 
@ShadowWizard that's what I meant :)
 
3:36 PM
@Tinkeringbell lol yeah :D
 
I guess they just drifted off into a @Shadow.
 
or into the void main of @public
You have a void? @public
 
or into an empty @Tin can
 
yeah I have a void
 
3:37 PM
Is your void main? @public
 
it's also kinda static-y.
 
Worst thing is that it's public though... So you never know who did what with the void!
 
hehe
Poor poor @pub
 
3:39 PM
true, true. Maybe I'll privatize it
 
@public you also have a private void?
 
It won't let me change my name though :(
 
Change on MSE, not SO. :)
 
I tried it there, but it still won't let me
 
If you choose Copy to All Sites, not sure if it will copy to SO or not though.
@publicstaticvoidmain huh. What error?
 
3:40 PM
I guess I've change my name too much, so it says I can't change it again until December 1.
 
status-making-last-coffee-for-the-day
 
status-changing-profile-picture
 
@publicstaticvoidmain oh, so you changed in November 1, We can change once in a month.
Who were you before November 1? @public
status-easter-egg
 
I was SirGoJavaPythonCppRuby the 3rd
I just changed my profile picture
hmmm...changes aren't taking effect
 
chat is slow...
 
3:43 PM
@publicstaticvoidmain chat takes up to one hour to synch.
 
One hour?!?!
 
Might be few seconds, might be full hour.
 
Yup. It's some scheduled job they have running, and doing it in mass or something like that. I think. :)
checking main profile for new pic
 
3:45 PM
@pub hehe, you just changed the color to red! Well, @Tinker would like it. :D
 
@Shadow yeah, It looks totally flipin' awesome now
 
What color you had before, as @Sir? @pub
 
Back in the day when I was a Sir, everything was blue
 
Nice! Blue is my favorite color since childhood. :D
 
Blue is also my favorite color (as you can probably tell)
 
3:47 PM
sensing a possible soulmate :P
 
lol
another awkward silence
 
@publicstaticvoidmain well, I was busy making this!
Dunno what others did in the meantime. :D
 
I did absolutely nothing at all
except program in the most awesome language in existance
 
I see you were busy starring.... remind me to not leave you alone again! @pub :D
 
I just starred basically every recent chat in this room
 
3:56 PM
Why?
 
Because it defeats the purpose of stars and obscures the content people actually think is worth being on the star board.
 
@Shadow I agree you probably shouldn't leave me unattended for that long again :)
 
@publicstaticvoidmain well, need to find a nanny then! wondering if @Tinker is up for the task :P
 
I doubt anyone is ready for the full force of the main method ;)
 
3:59 PM
Calling super nanny instead
 
I may have found a way to reach Skyloft....
 
@Derpy elevator?
 
That might keep me under control...
 
@publicstaticvoidmain yeah she's good!
 
she looks like someone who can keep me under control
maybe...
 
4:00 PM
Anyway seriously now.... don't star for fun, as Cat said before. Guess you didn't know that, but now you do. :) @pub
heh, flag too, though it's more obvious. lol
 
Okay, I'm kinda new to chat
I'll stop flag-starring now :)
 
I guess you are, hence I'm in "Give Slack" mode. :D
 
I love give slack mode!
 
Didn't your 30 minutes grace period end by now? @public
Did you send my "hi" to your mom at all? :D
 
yeah, I guess slack mode is going off for you...
 
4:03 PM
:(
 
and no to the second question
 
What time is it for you? @pub
 
8:04 am
what time is it for you?
 
banning @public for not saying "hi" to his mother :D
@publicstaticvoidmain 6:04 pm
 
:o that's a really big difference!
 
4:04 PM
10 hours... not even half day. :D
 
Since I'm awake until 2 AM it's OK.
 
lol I only stay up until 9 pm
 
So 2 am for me is... let's see.... 2 - 10 = -8.... 24 - 8 = 16..... 4 pm for you! @pub
 
wow, you stay up until 4 pm!
 
4:06 PM
lol
2:30 actually, but need to shower too you know. So my "free time" ends at 2.
 
I stay up until thinking 11:00 pm for you (I think)
 
Then four hours sleep, and... new day begins. :P
 
only 4 hours???
 
Yup. Used to be 5 until second kid arrived.
 
Oh, that makes sense
 
4:07 PM
Not really, all other people I know sleep more. :D
 
well, not everyone stays up until 2 am :)
 
Yeah true
Well playing Ni No Kuni takes time.... ;)
 
I guess that's true...
searching for what Ni No Kuni is
 
The first was better, the second feels half baked. But also fun, it's not a bad game.
The first had @Derpy as one of the main characters. But not as a pony. :P
 
Oh, it's a video game
 
4:10 PM
oh wait... Drippy, not Derpy. lol
Still, really similar. :D
@publicstaticvoidmain of course it is, what did you think? ;)
PS4.
 
Honestly, I thought it was a board game
 
@Drippy ^
 
Uh, hello drippy
 
lol
The second has Lofty.
 
I think I'll just stick to playing minecraft
 
4:11 PM
@publicstaticvoidmain lol
You're loyal to your game, for sure! :D
 
Yes, I am very loyal to minecraft
(kinda)
 
Now you're red! @public
 
Oh yeah, now it's updated :)
 
@ShadowWizard If you want to keep him, he's yours to raise!
 
rofl
He's already raised, that's the problem.... :D
 
4:14 PM
Yeah, that's the one little problem ;)
 
Can't re-educate... ;)
 
If I was his parent, he'd never just "take a day off school" like that, to begin with.... :D
 
If I was my own parent, I would never go to school
 
But then he would never come to the chat... never come to know me... space/time hole detected :P
 
4:16 PM
:o I can't bear to imagine that
 
@publicstaticvoidmain only snails are their own parents. I think. :D
 
if only I was a snail... ;)
 
a snail in... France? :P
 
And the technical side of being own parent... can't even start to imagine. :D
 
4:17 PM
I'm sure you can't imagine at all
 
@ShadowWizard Most people call that 'adults'
 
Hey! I have a very good imagination! Even played D&D as a teenager!! @pub
 
@ShadowWiz cool
 
@Tinkeringbell lol
 
did that ping you?
 
4:18 PM
Think it was the second edition... right from the books. :D
@publicstaticvoidmain sure why not?
 
okay, I'm not sure if it works with edits or not
 
@publicstaticvoidmain yes it works... only in comments it's volatile.
Chat pings are more solid.
 
The meaning of life has been revealed!
 
lol
Ping pong!
 
@ShadowWiz ping
wow, it did work :)
@Sha
 
4:20 PM
Ping Sandbox on the Tavern! lol
 
ping @Shadow
ping @ShadowW
ping @ShadowWi
ping @Shadow
 
I can already see both of us being kicked out of the room, lol @pub

lol

If that happens, I will make THE TAVERN 2

There is already one... Den. :D
 
Kind of Uncensored Tavern. :D
Well, kind of. Still some rules apply...
 
I'm gonna go see what it's like in there
Not nearly as active as here
 
It has its own active times.... you'll see..
 
Okay...
I just made the room "Talk about anything in the universe"
 
4:25 PM
lol
 
hahaha, let's see if it lives for longer than 15 days
 

Talk about anything in the universe

Talk about anything in the universe
It will
MWAHAHAHAHAHA
in reality I doubt it will last much more than a week
I actually have to go now, bye :(
 
4:38 PM
@EKons sure, go see what's in there now. :D
 
yeah, not enough to live more than 7 days
 
Not yet... but I can always find things to talk about.... :D
dragging @public back into Tavern
Guess his mother is stronger than the pings. :D
 
the pings aren't even strong here...
they're just calm whistles :/
 
4:56 PM
@Tinkeringbell thank you. :-)
 
I'm back :)
 
Hi back, I'm rene
 
Hello I'm rene, my name is I'm back
 
no, your name is back
 
Yay, your name is back :)
