Anyway, if it's fast for you to look, I'm betting the block for 54.236.78.156 is from a bunch of really fast requests to api.stackexchange.com/2.2/users/<nnn>/associated starting at around 02:00Z
yeah, know how most of that works. What bugs me is that I think I know what caused it (nightly diamond check for Charcoal autoflag processes), but that code has been the same since forever
It was written to respect the backoff, but there's a (kinda) edge case where it doesn't.
So fixing that, but we should have hit this like a year ago
@Catija Ah, now I understand. The image that shows up in the bottom right on chat rooms parented to a given site is the same image that shows up in oneboxes. (Which means weirdness for stackexchange.com and partially for Meta, since theirs are white.)
Proposal: Ontology Network
The owner of the proposal failed to create Ontology Blockchain proposal and he came back; seems like more prepared.
What should we do, now? Skip it?
While viewing a user's profile, I found that the next tag badge being tracked is the bronze 👾 badge. There is not even a 👾 badge, and I don't understand how or why this is possible.
So, uhh, what's the deal with this? Is it intentional behavior?
I was recently sent a Stack Overflow mug. It's the nice big one with the code snippet about filling it with coffee on the back:
Is this mug dishwasher or microwave safe? I didn't receive any information about that with the swag drop. I'm assuming no for now.
@SonictheWizardWerehog Happy hour? I don't remember it to be there THAT long
IIRC it was created as an excuse to be around and say happy things when things were a bit down (don't remember why, but 2016 was full of shitty moments anyway)
> Well, I'm sure we all know the stereotype: as a programmer, you sit near-motionless at a desk for 23 hours a day, covered in cheetos dust and bed sores, until exhaustion overtakes you and you fall to the floor and briefly sleep (wherein "sleep" consists of convulsing while sweating out Mountain Dew and soiling yourself). And of course, as the stereotypical programmer, you never shower... Though you do have an impressive collection of cologne and deodorant spray given as gifts by co-workers who thought they were being subtle.
Unfortunately, despite such an elaborate setup, the question did not generate much discussion.

I want to teach the world to vote in perfect harmony.
Looks like a fresh picture from SO HQ but I can't read the whiteboard... Could be some D&I event?
> You have to stay on Facebook for as many hours as you can, and to do that you need angry people and anger and clicks that can be produced by the torch, and that's what makes the result.
Note, the meta site is far more antagonistic than the main. Don't worry on your downvoted and closed question, it only represents the general attitude of the MSO community, but not the attitude of the sane readers of the future. Furthermore, the votes what you get on the MSO, don't affect your reputation, and practically there is no automatic post ban here. — peterh2 hours ago
Sane readers of the future, unite and take over the meta.
Autoflagging and some other MS actions don't work right now. This will be the case for an unknown period of time, but probably less than 24 hours. More information: short version; long version
Hello folks. I just read a really good answer on SO and aked myself whether there was a mechanism on SO to not onfly flag posts or answers as spam but as well-written or very-helpful to award the author
Or is this covered by upvoting posts or answers since you're gaining rep with every upvote?
Yeah, that's what upvotes are for. In addition, there's also the bounty system, which you can use to award some of your own reputation to the author of the answer.

So I have a problem with joining these smoothly, and as a practice I want to learn this in general. So, how to join it?
