ArtOfCodeEnd-of-year posts seem to have become the tradition these days, so I'm back again with a third Year in Spam. Welcome back, folks, to another round of statistics you never needed to know.

I have another question --- I recently started using the AutoReviewComments userscript. I noticed that using $SITENAME$ SE automatically makes it pick up the corresponding site name. Is there any similar command to make it automatically pick up the username (so that I don't have to type out "Hi, <username>." everytime)?
 
user437611
It would be even better if it could automatically pick up only the first name of the user on whose post I'm trying to comment on.
 
and myself

7:04 AM
[username] will be replaced with the user's name (or just 'user' if nothing was found), and [OP] with the original poster's name (if found, else 'OP'). Also, $MYUSERID$ will be replaced with your user id for the current site.

Hi, [username]. Welcome to $SITENAME$ SE! Keep these in mind: 1. Images or screenshots of text, code and mathematical expressions in Q&As is discouraged all over SE. (c.f. this Meta SE post). 2. It's mandatory to use MathJax to properly typeset mathematical expressions when writing Q&As here. Please go through this short MathJax tutorial. 3. Use appropriate tags.
 
user437611
4. Use correct English grammar and spellings. 5. State the exact source when citing text or images, with attribution. 6. Use good titles for your questions. You may consider dropping into [chat] before asking a question, so that we can guide you. I've [edit]ed your question this time, but it would be really annoying for us to do it on your behalf every time.
 
user437611
I wonder if I can shorten it. Or maybe I just need to split it up into two comments. :P

@PeterTaylor Due to the response we'll very likely be creating more winning slots and a quick glance at the entries shows me that anything that wasn't really done with any care or good faith got downvoted pretty uniformly, so I don't see any immediate problem, but we will consider it when we do the next one like this. The auto-protect issue combined with it being kinda hard to get an answer noticed after the first ~20 does leave folks looking for some legit way of getting more attention to their answer without being spammy. No harm this time, but thanks for pointing it out. — Tim Post ♦ Dec 11 '18 at 13:33
 
Magisch

It depends on the batch size they can order. IIRC for the cheese contest, they could only order in batches that didn't work out to exactly 25, so they had extras. if they can single-order the watches, thats that.
 
Tinkeringbell
Tinkeringbell
@Magisch There's still a half-assed promise of more winning slots ;)
Making it a nice round 30 would do then :P
TBH... I wrote an answer to that feature request about swag contest announcements and then kept thinking about stuff...

Does anyone else think votes on their post dried up a bit after their post ended up behind that looong answer with all those SO screenshots?
 
Derpy

@Magisch based on my research, I think they had to order 50 cheese boards

@Tinkeringbell got not many votes, but they were spread during all the contest. I think not many realized there was something to click in the calendar in the first place

If it looks like it took more than ten seconds, then it had effort. If the poster did original work, it had effort. If it's cool enough (subjectivity alert), it's cool. If it has lots of code, my eyes might glaze over.
If I like the idea, it's cool.

But seriously, probably a gallery page like... DeviantArt (the one I can only think currently) or Winter Bash, where the main page shows the thumbnails, and when it's clicked, it will open the entry with comment and voting (yeah, that's too much effort for SE to implement...)

@andmyself I think contests here ... suffer a bit from an 'Imgur-effect' :P
The majority of people go to the front-page, and they rely on a small group of dedicated people to put good stuff on there. Then they just chime in with an upvote
And to be honest, I don't really see how random ordering, announcements, election like systems... are going to change that mindset.
You need to have people that are willing to browse those long enough chains of lame submissions to find the stuff that deserves an upvote.
 
and myself
and myself
I think listing them as thumbnails might help, even if it maybe is an impossible task...
 
Tinkeringbell
Tinkeringbell
@andmyself Thumbnails of code snippets are then never going to look attractive enough to attract attention.
Personally, that would mean I'd open the bits that have pictures that look interesting, not the stories, not the ascii art, not the code snippets.
 
and myself

@Shree Castling?!
Castling
Castling is a move in the game of chess involving a player's king and either of the player's original rooks. It is the only move in chess in which a player moves two pieces in the same move, and it is the only move aside from the knight's move where a piece can be said to "jump over" another.Castling consists of moving the king two squares towards a rook on the player's first rank, then moving the rook to the square over which the king crossed. Castling may only be done if the king has never moved, the rook involved has never moved, the squares between the king and the rook involved are unoccupied...
> The notation for castling, in both the descriptive and the algebraic systems, is 0-0

@JourneymanGeek Yeah, I like fabric chairs best too :)

also I am half certain my old chair has the shape of my butt worn into it

My current one is off ikea
I've actually gone through 2
the first one had a busted arm rest
 
Tinkeringbell
Tinkeringbell
@JourneymanGeek :( Mine arrived with one arm-rest already broken during transport. I got a replacement pretty easily. The good thing about Ikea stuff is that you can always keep the broken thing for spare parts :P

@Tinkeringbell .... in theory
but we have so much stuff over 30+ years here that we just tossed it
I actually need to check dad's chair (its the same ikea model) and swap him to the one in better shape
or frankenchair it
I threw a T shirt over the back of my old one so that part's mostly pristine
 
Tinkeringbell

Hahaha Sounds good ;)

@Tinkeringbell @JourneymanGeek just to be sure, you don't mind if I occasionally use a self flag to get some abusive user profile deleted right? I'm not going to flood you with flags, maybe just a single flag per day, and anyway would wait for it to be processed before posting another.

Oh, it's fine

mostly planning to clean up the more offensive ones.

in PSE, a mod has opted to be pinged with a list of user links when new bad accounts appear
 
Derpy
Derpy
could be an option, my idea was to not have to post spam smoke here.
furthermore, I don't want to advertise those profiles by posting the links there.
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
@JohnDvorak on SU we have a room for mod contacts
@Derpy thought at some point you need to diversify your flag target posts
We can see old flags on a post
If there's a bunch, you could just ping me with a list of user IDs as opposed to profiles
 
Derpy
Derpy
@JourneymanGeek If you have some way to protect it, we could create a "leave users to delete here, we will do it when we have time" room here.
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
Hmm. For now just flag. We'll think of what we can do in future
 
Derpy

Ye have one flag.
have fun with the query.
And if you want to have even more fun, run it on SO

It fits nicely, keeps my ears warm, and the sound is good enough too. I also like the microphone mute button in the cord when I'm working from home ;)

What is "populate template" here (it is visible on the gif under the post question button). Is that a mod thing or a CM thing? It could also be a dev only thing, or Shog9 can run MiniProfiler on the live site.

Is that the right link?

Note to self: don't buy from Etsy again. Bought a Christmas present early December for my niece. They sent it just before Christmas. And now it's stuck at customs for some reason.

@Bart etsy is a bit of a mixed bag... you have to leave loads of time if you want it for a specific date, because stuff is generally hand made to order. But still, each seller is different.
