Is it bad form to vote to delete an answer that's really, really crappy but not otherwise flaggable? E.g. patently incorrect, dangerous, rambling, etc.

John Dvorak

It's often better to downvote it to oblivion and make an example of it

rambling sounds like a non-answer

forest

Yeah but when it's answering a question on HNQ, it'll get enough upvotes to give the answerer a net increase in rep despite being heavily downvoted.

"Hey guise here's some advice: Do this one thing that is literally the first thing everyone tells you not to do! I'm no expert, but it never stopped me before!"

basically

That would be a reason for deletion via chat, yes.

A: Why is it wrong to *implement* myself a known, published, widely believed to be secure crypto algorithm?

The problem with using well-known professionally implemented algorithms is that all you have to protect the message is the key. If Evelyn can find out (or guess) the key, then the message can be decoded. Before World War 2, there were two kinds of Enigma crypto machines -- one for business and ...

It's hurting my brain.

Literally promoting security through obscurity, and yet being +1/-3 means that there was a net gain in rep.

John Dvorak

Reputation has never really mattered anyways

forest

It matters enough that there are vote fraud rings for that very purpose.

John Dvorak

Voting rings are a matter for mods

Journeyman Geek

@forest which get caught often and lose all that rep. or we never know about them and who cares cause imaginary internet points.

forest

6:20 AM

> which get caught often

John Dvorak

loose as in via bounties, or lose* as in ungain?

forest

Loose as in reduce tension, of course.

John Dvorak

That would be "loosen", and I don't know what that would mean in terms of reputation

forest

It's just that freaking "but I never let something like that stop me before" that triggers the hell out of me. It's like it's asking to be laughed at.

John Dvorak

... or "let loose"

Journeyman Geek

6:23 AM

Fortunately as a mod, I have the option of fixing my spelling errors at leisure.

forest

That's literally the only reason I've ever wanted to be a mod on this site.

Journeyman Geek

@forest this site...

forest

And if my main sites ever have a new election, I'll try to win.

Because damn is the 5 minute delay obnoxious.

Journeyman Geek

getting to be a mod is tricky

Probably easier elsewhere.

forest

"This" meaning SE, of course. Not all of SE. :P

John Dvorak

6:24 AM

@forest really? Did deleting others' messages not fancy you, or even the ability to see deleted comments?

Journeyman Geek

that's even trickier and something I've not managed. Yet.

forest

Well in theory I could probably pwn a mod's account pretty easily but I doubt that'd last long. :P

Journeyman Geek

@forest and probably get all the mods mad at you forever, and probably have folks throwing the book at you

forest

@JohnDvorak Seeing deleted comments would be neat but deleting other's messages? Only if necessary. But being able to edit my own comments would be awesome.

@JourneymanGeek Yeah it probably wouldn't end well lol

John Dvorak

forest

6:25 AM

Would teach people to use better passwords though.

Journeyman Geek

@forest tbh, seeing deleted comments is click through, and usually boring.

and if you ~~bribe a mod appropriately~~ ask nicely and its not an event of intense drama, a mod might oblige

forest

Only reason I ever wish to see deleted comments is in case someone is replying to a deleted comment. I sometimes get confused if I don't know what someone is talking about.

But all the time I have to delete my own comments because the 5 minute limit goes out, and then write a new one (sometimes spamming someone's inbox in the process).

John Dvorak

What if it is an event of intense drama, and I promise to not steamroll in after reading the comments?

forest

And I'm OCD so I can never post a comment with text that doesn't align.

Drama is fun.

But SE does not foster violence very well.

Journeyman Geek

@forest by design

forest

6:28 AM

I prefer IRC for drama because there are no lasting consequences.

No long-term information (questions/answers) get messed up, etc.

John Dvorak

Really? I'd say that Worldbuilding delights in violence. And Music delights in violins.

forest

Everything's nice and temporary.

Journeyman Geek

and sometimes there's stuff going on behind the scenes to try to keep things under control.

No Distraction Wizard

@JohnDvorak getting a privilege to see deleted comments just make me wanted to re-delete the already deleted comments

forest

Yeah like banning people from chat for using the word "s*x" in a professional manner. :^)

@NoDistractionWizard Super delete!

I feel that way sometimes reading deleted answers.

But other times I just find them hilariously bad.

Journeyman Geek

6:31 AM

@forest we don't ban, we suspend

and on most sites, there's rarely a professional reason to

No Distraction Wizard

Most of the time the perception filter works for deleted spam/rude posts, but apparently might make a shock therapy to mods

forest

Eh, I used it in the most professional way possible, referring to a vulnerability in s*x toys, not linking to anything NSFW or using it in an inappropriate way.

No Distraction Wizard

beside... facepalming after seeing the posts

forest

At least it means it's appropriate to flag comments which use that word.

I've never gotten the opportunity to flag many things before, not in chat.

No Distraction Wizard

forest

Yeah just saw that.

Journeyman Geek

@forest I'm personally a fan of setting expectations, and actually letting people know before flagging. SU's specific tradition was accidental but works well for us

And probably driven by random strangers flagging things and resulting drama

forest

@JourneymanGeek Nah I was talking about this specific chat when you banned me in my sleep. Haven't been in SU chat for a while.

Er, suspended.

No Distraction Wizard

because "Stack Exchange eXtras" won't work well...

Journeyman Geek

6:35 AM

WE DO NOT BAN PEOPLE

We suspend people for extended periods of time.

at worst

forest

Yeah yeah wrong terminology.

My bad.

Journeyman Geek

also if I ever suspend you there's typically a warning at some point

John Dvorak

I've seen a 10-year suspension, but even that is super-rare

forest

But hey, a warning that the s-word was a no-no regardless of context would have been nice. Cuz, you know, I can't reply when I'm asleep. :P

Journeyman Geek

shrug

forest

6:36 AM

@JourneymanGeek Wait is that sarcasm?

Or were you not the one who suspended me for the s-word?

Journeyman Geek

@forest actually no. I make it a point to

forest

huh

John Dvorak

Wait, why is it illegal to talk about XX vs. XY?

Journeyman Geek

So... a lot of my moderation is based on dog training.

forest

@JohnDvorak No, but the word itself e.g. s*x toys is banna^Wsuspendable.

Journeyman Geek

6:36 AM

If you did something wrong, I prefer you know specifically what it is

Unless you're clearly malicious and out to get me.

forest

@JourneymanGeek Well my bad! This whole time I thought you were just out to get me and trying to find any reason to suspend me for frivolous reasons.

Journeyman Geek

You are not, are you Mr Forest?

;p

forest

So someone else is the culprit eh?

Journeyman Geek

@forest I have enough... things to deal with without holding a grudge.

forest

ah

Journeyman Geek

6:37 AM

@forest someone flagged, someone looked at the flag, someone approved.

forest

Damn, whoever approved should have looked at context.

Journeyman Geek

And honestly? I do not remember this specific one.

forest

Also, I thought suspensions resulting from flags were automated?

This was clearly a manual suspension since it was for like... 2 days.

Journeyman Geek

Well, there's three ways to suspend.

John Dvorak

That's not a suspension, that's a chat ban

Journeyman Geek

6:38 AM

Flag suspend, kick suspend and manual suspend.

You'd need to look up chat suspension times for the first two

Nonetheless.

forest

@JohnDvorak Well yeah I meant chat. Never been suspended on the main site and I don't intend to be so. Also I guess that means my use of the term ban was actually correct if it's a chat ban, not a suspension. :D

No Distraction Wizard

That's why chat moderation is ~~fun~~ exhausting, especially on Chat.SE covering 170+ sites' chat rooms

forest

@JourneymanGeek Couldn't have been a kick suspend. I had left chat and was asleep.

Journeyman Geek

I do not remember this. And I certainly try not to swing my large mod hammer around outside RA unless its a ... well... immediate problem

forest

Man I totally had the wrong idea about you lol

Journeyman Geek

6:40 AM

@forest welcome to random flags. The reason RA has the LANGUAGE! and "I'll help you get rid of that' rules.

forest

Random flags suck.

John Dvorak

I still don't see why a mod would kick me for using the s-word when it clearly means "gender" rather than ... the other meaning.

Journeyman Geek

They do. But they're a fact of life, and a cost of doing business so to speak

@JohnDvorak If I were that mod, or even 10ker(s) I'd tell you

forest

@JohnDvorak Well there's also a difference between the word s*x itself and using the word inappropriately or with malicious/offensive intent.

Because "lol look a vulnerable 'smart' s*x toy when will IoT folk learn" is a lot less offensive than some crappy low-brow s*x joke.

John Dvorak

Maybe the flagger simply didn't want you to talk about that topic, irrespective of how?

No Distraction Wizard

6:42 AM

If it directs to unconstructive/unconducive discussion, then there's a source of the problem...

forest

@JohnDvorak Thankfully I was fast asleep when said snowflake got triggered.

Yeah ofc. Anything is bad if it causes drama.

Journeyman Geek

@forest heh, see, that's exactly why people need to sound off when they're legitimately uncomfortable

John Dvorak

Be careful... calling people snowflakes may trigger them

forest

lol

I thought snowflake was supposed to be a good thing to those... types. I mean, who doesn't want to be a beautiful and unique snowflake?

Journeyman Geek

I can get some folks are uncomfortable with such discussions

John Dvorak

6:43 AM

Chat kicks always cause drama. Are chat kicks always bad?

Journeyman Geek

@JohnDvorak no

forest

If they cause more drama than they eliminate.

Journeyman Geek

They're useful as a way to disrupt an ongoing problem if softer approaches don't work and there's no mod around

So, as a chat mod, I have a few tools at my disposal.

forest

Yeah but like... 2 days vs 30 minutes.

Totally get 30 minutes as a mandatory cooldown period.

But man, not being able to get on a sock in 5 seconds is frustrating lol

Journeyman Geek

The most important is the ability to ask nicely that certain topics be dropped, or moved offsite and be listened to

which is at odds with what @forest assumes how I do thing is ;p

forest

6:45 AM

Yeah I agree with that. I always listen to ROs and mods if they tell me off.

Journeyman Geek

@forest though if you're suspended, and you get caught socking...

forest

At least, if I understand them and is not pissing me off. >_>

Yeah it's too risky to do on SE.

Journeyman Geek

@forest or you assume mods are out to get you.

forest

Hey sometimes they are.

Journeyman Geek

@forest honestly, the worst things a popular elected mod can do to you are invisible ;)

forest

6:47 AM

On IRC I could just use an IRSSI script /evade and within 5 seconds I'd be back in the channel (at least until the op sets it +m or +i, but then everyone gets screwed).

John Dvorak

People may not be out to get me, but they manage to do that just fine unintentionally

forest

@JourneymanGeek lol like what

Journeyman Geek

@JohnDvorak that's even worse

@forest imagine if everyone just started ignoring you.

forest

Mods can hellban?

Journeyman Geek

no suspensions

Journeyman Geek

well, not in the way you think

forest

Yeah but that's not really invisible.

No Distraction Wizard

Well, this kind of conversation that made prefer to be silent, but feel free to continue :)

John Dvorak

John Dvorak

forest

For what, Facebook?

John Dvorak

Yes

forest

Fun story: I was once thwarted trying to hack someone's Facebook because I couldn't figure out how the hell to use the site, despite having the password. :D

I eventually gave up because the damn site made no sense.

Journeyman Geek

Oh, lame.

Yeah. The site genuinely makes no sense.

Like not just where the options are, but how the whole thing works.

(Of course, I don't use social media in general, so meh)

Journeyman Geek

I thought that's what blogs were for.

Journeyman Geek

forest

Really?

No Distraction Wizard

6:54 AM

You know, Twitter is the new blog

John Dvorak

I use Facebook for one thing only: It's easier than asking the waiter for a WiFi password, so I instead advertise the restaurant to a chosen group of Facebook followers. The group is called "me".

forest

You can bypass those pretty easily. Most of the time the password is the same as the name of the restaurant with a year appended.

John Dvorak

I do know the password. But it's still ten clicks vs. two.

No Distraction Wizard

Unfortunately, the last time I got a password, it's taken from a random menu of that restaurant.

forest

lol

I just use a 3G/4G dongle.

When I'm in populated places I just use nearby Wi-Fi, but where I live, there's usually only one access point available at any given time.

I hate airplane Wi-Fi too. It's so slow.

I just want high-speed internet all around the world with no dead spots or fees and low latency for free. Is that so much to ask???

Journeyman Geek

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

@JourneymanGeek Technically, "chat ban" is an official synonym of "chat suspension". It's in the tag name.

Journeyman Geek

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog bans are forever.

Also in this specific context, I was trying to reassure someone that we were not out to get him

or at the very least, he'd know I was out to get him

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

True, but a long-used miswording ended up getting routinely misused such that the definition changed. (e.g. "presently")

forest

7:20 AM

It really depends on the community. Sometimes "ban" is a temporary thing.

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

@forest Not exactly the wrong terminology.

forest

Even though linguistically it should not be (ban = banish).

Journeyman Geek

True, but in SE we've always talked about bans as temporary

its a critical part of the narrative that you can change and fix things

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

@JourneymanGeek What would you think of an "indefinite" suspension? It's technically never-ending, but the wording implies "until the issue is resolved"

Journeyman Geek

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog we don't do that

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

7:21 AM

Great alternative to decade+-long suspensions

forest

A 50 year suspension is ostensibly temporary but really?

Journeyman Geek

And people have gotten those lifted.

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

Also saves future mods the trouble of dealing with the user should they come back, of contacting then-mods who may have left the site, etc.

@JourneymanGeek "Indefinite" doesn't mean "un-liftable".

Journeyman Geek

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog there's an amazing amount of braintrust here

and ways we can leave notes across time and space.

forest

imma go. pls don't ban me while I'm gone

No Distraction Wizard

7:23 AM

> This user is currently exiled for rules violation until someone saves them.

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

@JourneymanGeek Another thing: I often see users unconstructively discussing different lengths of long suspensions: 10 years, 25 years, 270 years, etc. when they all really mean the same thing.

Journeyman Geek

@forest ONE MOMENT!

Oh never mind

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog I'm not though!

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

Having all those marked as "indefinite" would put an end to that.

Journeyman Geek

I was literally talking to someone who assumed I suspended him

Which I don't think I did.

No Distraction Wizard

but... 270 years is definite...

Journeyman Geek

7:24 AM

yup

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

@JourneymanGeek Changed reply to general ping to make it clear it was about something else.

No Distraction Wizard

and some people believe in reincarnation... but still got suspended

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

@NoDistractionWizard "Ah, I see you've unsuspended this guy who got 3,200 years...I only got 10 years, so why am I being treated unfairly?" (was an actual comment somewhere)

Journeyman Geek

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog a year is a mod at their wit's end. a decade is a CM helpoing out. 3200 years is a CM... having had enough.

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

7:28 AM

@JourneymanGeek Nope, it was a mod levying a chat ban, the mod having bypassed the client-side limit of four-digit hours and using the maximum limit imposed by the server.

Journeyman Geek

In that case it was a mod having had enough

these things happen

once again though, this is why we try really hard to get people to actually get back from the brink first

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

But why show a specific number, when it technically is all academic?

Journeyman Geek

we ask nicely, try to keep them from hoisting themselves on their own petard...

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog its... acedemic past a certain point

we don't want to say "you're banned forever kthxbye"

because its never been how we do things

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

"Indefinite" does not imply "forever". It means "until the issue is resolved".

Don't slice off the "de".

Don't slice off Germany

Journeyman Geek

Or just... have a number that dosen't mean much

I mean, if its acedemic, it dosen't matter.

And tbh, if I've given someone a long suspension, tis not for them, its for everyone else.

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

7:32 AM

...so if the exact number doesn't matter, then why show it?

Journeyman Geek

Why bother then?

what's it matter?

Its a number

How does saying "indefinately" improve quality of life for anyone?

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

Other users coming across these network-wide site-suspended accounts and the resulting public spectacle; I would often see unconstructive chats regarding them, with users talking about it as well as comparing them to other users with really long ones, implying that users with, say, 50 years did something "worse" than those with 25 years, and most importantly having everything dragged out into public, which as you know makes it harder for the user themselves to recover.

Journeyman Geek

I've never really run into that

and only a few mods do the extra-special chat suspension

I'm lazy and am happy with the max in the UI

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog
