I'm not personally interested in such a feature, but I just want to put forth the idea of an optional, possibly monetize-able, romantic relationship matching feature for SE users. Is this a bad idea? If so, why not?

What's the easiest way to find the chat profile of a user on an SE site given their user profile on a site and their network profile

user315433

@Ano Get elected as a mod on some site where that user has an account. meta.stackexchange.com/a/266737

user315433

Second easiest: go to chat.stackexchange.com/users search by username and look through the results until you find the one you want.

@FTP If there are 130 pages of users with that same name?

user315433

That's why it's only the second easiest.

@FTP What's the "another way" here?

@Lix: When you have multiple users with the same name? What about "Joe"? Recently had to do that one to find a WindowsPhone mod (who I hadn't seen in the room). There is another way to find mod chat userids, but I'm talking about the general case. — Manishearth Jun 18 '12 at 7:01

Some mod-only thing, I suppose. Perhaps mod-chat only.

Superpings I suppose. It's hardly secret

I found it. Just search in the same room for someone else pinging them. Chances are, if you're looking for a mod's chat profile to invite them, they'd have talked there in the past, and someone else will have pinged them in the past. The chances were in my favor

Second one is by far more critical and probably deserves being looked into.

@PrincessLuna :P

@Catija of course it doesn't hurt, never meant you should remove the comment or something like that, only that I think you misunderstood the OP's intention.

@Derpy agree, reopened.

See my last comment on the question, at this point I am confused about the poster intentions. And I think he is even more confused

IMHO, he is clearly pointing at a different (maybe related) problem there, but he acknowledge the dupe closure.

That isn't really relevant, even if OP meant something else, fact is those are different, and with different answers.

yep, my though exactly.

that said, trying the same query form different vm on different Azure regions does indeed give different results

They don't?

@Bart I think that's a typo... I think it's more of a "which side are you on, explain it".

It is not a typo!

8:19 PM

stand = stance?

I was sober when I constructed that question

Sure @rene, but the function of a moderator is to moderate. Help the community take a stand. Generally I'd say moderators are not there to be some political platform for community reform.

But maybe that shows why I should never run for moderator :p

@Bart That is true, nevertheless I think a mod can also lead by example. I mean, there is a lot of difference between, let's say: Martijn/Jon and Bohemian if you look at meta parrticipation

True. But that difference was probably already there before they became moderators.

Still it helps a lot when they chime in for things that can and can't work

8:25 PM

Then again, Martijn being Dutch, you have to take everything he says with a grain of salt.

Yeah, it is better if we not add more Dutch influences there ...

People often have this idea that mods have lots of answers... I get a lot of people expecting the mods to decide things for everyone... but it's really up to the community. We do what the community tells us as long it doesn't break the standards of the site...

Exactly ... what I expect in the coming year is break some standards ... I want to know what a mod will do.
