@ShadowWizard mission aborted.

Somewhat

Wait, my Personal Computer can...?

> I visited Stack Overflow just to be greeted with some seduction crap. Nail them all!

@Somewhat What do you think they invented firewalls and virusscanners for!

2:49 PM

@Somewhat yes. Be careful when you next put your PC on your lap. :D

lol

3:34 PM

If I recall correctly, there's an answer from Eval Carroll on this question scoring under -27. May I ask for a screenshot if any 10k is happy?

@ɪʙᴜɢ Sorry, I upset them all today.

@ɪʙᴜɢ hehe, interesting. "eval is evil".

You meant Evan, I assume.

@ShadowWizard yes, that's a typo :)

But with unconscious stuff behind it, perhaps. ;)

@Tinkeringbell huh? Where? IPS?

@ShadowWizard you probably meant "unconscious staff", hehe smiles evilly

3:41 PM

I don't like Evan a bit, but must admit he's good on SO.

@ɪʙᴜɢ why?

@ShadowWizard No, in here :P

@ɪʙᴜɢ nah, that's already behind me. :D

@Tinkeringbell whaaat? When he was here?

@JourneymanGeek no why, just joking about making typos

@ɪʙᴜɢ indid

3:42 PM

I mean, why do you want the screenshot ;p

@ShadowWizard Are we talking the same language right now? :P Ibug asked for 'any 10k that was happy' and I said I upset them all :P

so the original question, can anyone eval() a screenshot?

....

lol

I can. But do I want to? ;)

/me tickets @ɪʙᴜɢ for terrible punnery.

3:43 PM

@JourneymanGeek want to see how it has gone (personally, very wanting for some other reasons)

adding another layer of potentially unserious stuff: in case anyone doesn't want the screenshot to become public, here's my GPG private (really?) key so you can encrypt it

Here it is in its full gory:

TBH, I voted to undelete. While I disagree, it's a valid discussion point.

Thanks Shadow!

Well how I voted is now a matter of public record ;p

Also, interesting to see that Shog "sign" the mod messages with his own name, thought they were anonymised at some point.

Q: Make moderator messages anonymous

I recall that mods are allowed to reveal their identities in mod messages at their own discretion.

user194636

3:50 PM

Yeah that was a relatively recent change. There was no discretion involved though.

user194636

Currently, when a moderator messages a user, the user sees which moderator is messaging them. This includes when a moderator issues a timed suspension. Generally, I have no problem with this. Sometimes a user needs to be gently reminded to be nicer in comments, or to disclose when they're advert...

feature-request status-completed moderator-tools moderator-messages

user194636

It might be different for CM messages.

Well probably Shog doesn't care to take the fire. :)

user194636

It only makes him stronger.

user194636

Part dragon, you know.

3:55 PM

But some dragons like ice, not fire.

If I were a dragon, I want a huge terrarium with some of those nice heat lights

Actually... I don't need to be a dragon to want that

user194636

it is nice to be warm

it is also warm to Be Nice

user194636

deep

I am nice. I am still cold though

user194636

4:01 PM

not as cold as you would be otherwise though maybe

Hmm. But does that then mean I'm not nice enough, or that it's just really too cold and even being nice doesn't help? :P

user194636

there must be an SE site you could ask that on

Jon Snow is cold as ice.

Movies.SE should prepare for his return, 2019 right? They will be flooded with hundreds of questions...

@ShadowWizard I think its older

EC has been doing the election thing as long as SE has been a thing

4:41 PM

I @Tink therefore I exist

Catija

5:23 PM

@PaulWhite Nope. :D Doesn't even say that it's from a CM unless we manually add it... just the usual "[sitename] Moderation Team" signature.

user194636

ta

@ShadowWizard Cogito, ergo sum. I know my philosophy :P

7:05 PM

@Tinkeringbell or your Google ;)

7:16 PM

@ShadowWizard No way. I'm smart enough to not need Google for that!

Something Bad Happened

After seeing this on Saturday I looked for and found a security issue and submitted a report under an alias to test the response. Got a prompt and nice reply from Lynn already. 👍

8:17 PM

@SomethingBadHappened not fair... You had the source code under your hands for long time... ;)

@ShadowWizard he also has/had a security hall of fame entry from (IIRC) before he worked at SE

Hmm...

(Its 4am, tenses are a bit vague)

@JourneymanGeek Go to sleep

For some reason, @SomethingBadHappened to SE sounds.. Ominous. ;-)

8:21 PM

@Tinkeringbell work night

@JourneymanGeek I was about to say that :P

Ah, that's crap. How much longer?

4 more hours

Maybe time to get back to your real name? Mr. B?

and its a public holiday I celebrate today ;p

@JourneymanGeek So that means no sleep at 8am either?

8:23 PM

Plausibly

Uf. Good luck then!

Take an extra coffee ;)

mom's invoked the "but technically the next day is ok cause obscure thing" clause

Mom's are kinda great at doing that ;)

(deepavali is often but not always celebrated on full? new? moon day)

If it weren't for mom, I'd still be stuck on going to church each Sunday

8:24 PM

Oh I actually am ok with temple visits

though I've been politely been complaining the old chap has been a bit useless for a remover of obstacles

Oh, I didn't really dislike going to church either, just going to that church.

Complicated messes. Just wanted to say mom's are good :)

meta.stackexchange.com/q/317843/369802 Wut...

@Tinkeringbell ..."unclear" :P

why are you repeating yourself @ShadowWizard

?

@ShadowWizard here: i.stack.imgur.com/CXFIf.png

8:32 PM

@EKons Pretty much clear... but it's what can happen if you make your e-mail that public, I guess?

Oh, WiFi died, phone switched to mobile data usage, submitted the comment twice.

rip KBs...

@Tinkeringbell I couldn't find their e-mail on their profile?

@rene Link to website, click 'about'

It's really that easy.

Sounds like someone trying to take a cheesy shortcut to extra votes

8:35 PM

@Tinkeringbell ok

Or am I overestimating how much effort people would put into that XD

@JourneymanGeek well people are desperate for some swag...

Kevin B

i don't understand why people bother with that kind of stuff on SO, it's so much less effort to just go out and put up a bunch of answers

Well, its nice swag

Yup

8:36 PM

It looks like it may be the only swag too

:(

Well I got my share... Two T-shirts, one mug, and more... I am happy with that. :-D

No need to be sad. You're all welcome to drop by and come eat some cheese (if I'm still in the top 25, haven't looked recently)

;p

Something Bad Happened

9:12 PM

@ShadowWizard That's certainly fair grounds to disqualify me from bug bounties, but not a reason to hold back my reports. :P

@ShadowWizard The issue reported was pretty narrow. I think I'll be keeping this name indefinitely.

NotThatGuy

So do we think Parenting will be the next one to be hit with a Twitter storm?

hopefully no?

No more twitter storms plz

@SomethingBadHappened sorry to hear...

NotThatGuy

I figured at least the mod would agree that "indoctrinated" carries quite the negative connotation.

@NotThatGuy can't know, it can hit any site.

@Tinkeringbell I will come wearing SO shirt and holding the mug! ;-)

NotThatGuy

9:31 PM

I can't tell if the motivation is "this post is fine" or "this post is supposed to be offensive because OP is offended".

we have indexing ... why?

very rare tag, imo

it's not like indexing often comes up

In all cases google would have been enough.

Or search

well... it's either useless, or useful for a bot that detects off-topic questions with it... :P

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

I'll put it on my burnination list

anyway, I need sleep, cya in 6 to 8 hours

ArtOfCode

10:06 PM

@Magisch you mean the only non-employee to know your name is nobody... I'm absolute garbage at remembering names

Magisch

You might still have the email

ArtOfCode

Might be on a spreadsheet somewhere, I guess, if I didn't delete it

Magisch

It's in my corporate email signature

ArtOfCode

Ah, I can probably dig it out of email history, then. I have emails going back 7 years or so.

@Shadow Congrats on 100k!
