That looks a lot better.

12:13 AM

@SonictheStay-HomeHedgehog But it uses a hyphen in place of an emdash!

Should be a comma, really, but Mith.

@M.A.R. So does the original title of the question.

I asked for "a link to the title", which this is

but if it were an em-dash then there would have to be no whitespace around it

BLASPHEMY

@SonictheStay-HomeHedgehog so you're saying it's your fault

@AndrasDeak Well, that thing right there shouldn't be there.

12:21 AM

Sush or I edit it to 'LINK. READ. NAO!!!!!11111ONEONEONE!!!"

no, multiple ones is equally bad typography

@AndrasDeak alt + 0151

>>> '\u0151'
'ő'

hey, that's one of ours

Q: What to do when a moderator is deleting all my posts?

—

@AndrasDeak ő

-14

A mod on skeptics stack exchange is automatically deleting and hiding all my posts. What can I do about it? I'm accused of making a sock puppet account and my posts are deleted despite being completely legitimate.

> my posts are deleted despite being completely legitimate.

Supermegashudder

I'd believe you if you DO NOT use those words in that succession

especially on something like skeptics

@M.A.R. who?

12:28 AM

@AndrasDeak It's the face of a man being stabbed from behind in the heat of the battle

dangit, I was just about to try to find their Skeptics account

it was noted in a comment that the asker was 1 day old with 0 public posts on skeptics

and the username is still visible if you hover over the onebox avatar

unless they were nuked, of course

our esteemed councilful moderators may have smitten the poor soul

Rob

@Shadow you got burned for your bounty.

@Rob we apparently had a content dispute 😁

Can we assume everyone can live with the current tags?

@AndrasDeak I would burst into a guffaw if Journey was on a platform and yelled "SILENCE"

Rob

A review criticism., and I would roll; you should have before the lock.

12:34 AM

And now you shall pay the consequences

Who entered me in medieval fantasy mode?

@AndrasDeak no smiting. Yet

@rene Can you please verify the recent edit to the database schema documentation?

@M.A.R. I did not enter you. 13 is bad luck.

@Rob not really? And I happen to agree with OP on this, too bad the question had to be locked.

(I had my share of edit wars, so can't judge - when I believe in something, I sometimes don't just roll over ;))

@ShadowKeepsSocialDistance I rarely keep people from handing out bounties, except by accident

@SonictheStay-HomeHedgehog looks fine to me

@SonictheStay-HomeHedgehog it matches with the actual schema: data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/1232969

Thanks, that's all I wanted to know

More than Q&A: How the Stack Overflow team uses Stack Overflow for Teams

1:59 PM

@Gimby I think I hear an owl.

Feeds

Medi Madelen Gwosdz on April 29, 2020

The majority of companies are now working remotely and asynchronous collaboration is more important than ever. Companies around the globe use Stack Overflow for Teams to do just that (including those that newly adopted the platform since we made it free through June 2020). But only one company has been using Teams since its inception:…

John Dvorak

I feel proper dogfooding for SO teams should involve the team actually paying for the product as well :D

Don't they? :P

Gimby

@Tinkeringbell Maybe I should change my avatar.

Nah, I like the magenta company :)

Gimby

2:12 PM

well I was thinking of looking for a pink owl

@ShadowKeepsSocialDistance 13?

@Gimby Celeste? ;)

(though that one is more reddish)

@JohnDvorak internal costing is fun

Q: Markdown help page is broken (badly presented/formatted) on every site

3:24 PM

In the Markdown help I see: Is that what the help is supposed to say and look like? Because it doesn't make sense to me. As animuson points out in a comment, all of the highlighted example text is being shifted to the very left of each line. The entire page is broken.

bug status-review markdown editing-help

.... wasn't there another thing recently where the order got mucked up? Maybe with migrating?

meta.stackexchange.com/questions/346415/… ?

@Tinkeringbell That's one... there was something else, too.

Thanks.

I have time to kill, I can dig a bit further :)

We must go even further.

Q: Backwards the migration close reason text is

When choosing a migration path in the close dialog, the text associated with each option doesn't make sense when reading, since it puts the name of the site first and then the text "belongs on": The options are: meta.stackoverflow.com belongs on discussion, support, and feature...

bug status-completed migration close-dialog

That one must be it then :D

3:32 PM

That's the one!

Thanks :D

Best mod.

rene

I agree.

3:52 PM

They're talking about dot net core and moonspeak now... so it seems like this was a problem.

A: What is the story of Jeff Atwood and the pluralization 'Bug'?

I get that reference

Moonspeak if memory serves is the localisation engine

(For those who need to get off my lawn...)

But, I'm very curious to know why is the Stack Exchange team ignoring them? We aren't. Sure, they're low-priority bugs, but nevertheless they're bugs. Regarding Jeff's tweet, you should know two things: Although you can never be 100% sure, I am pretty certain that it was tongue-in-cheek. ...

Awww, this link from that answer is deleted. Sad day.

@Spevacus i.stack.imgur.com/1ZdkV.png there you go

@Catija You're welcome :)

@JourneymanGeek Thanks. The comments are... pretty entertaining.

@Spevacus question nuked by Shog for some reason, no idea why.

Mithical

I'd guess because of that answer. That was around the time they started cracking down on Be Nice etc.

And since the bug was fixed, there was no particular reason for keeping it around.

>:( Shog

@Mithical so he could just delete the answer...

And since the bug was fixed, there was no particular reason for keeping it around.

@Mithical so we need to delete all completed bug reports, and still... they're right there in meta, getting dust. :)

Mithical

6:24 PM

@ShadowKeepsSocialDistance No, the point was that instead of just deleting the answer, which would attract more attention that deleting the whole question, it's better to just delete the whole question since it a.) has a problematic answer b.) has no value anymore.

Freaking Shog, taking the correct courses of action.

@Spevacus all roads lead to Shog?

@ShadowKeepsSocialDistance Shog wasn't built in a day

Hmm. I'm already seeing suggested edits based on my burninate request. I... probably shouldn't have approved. Also, should probably wait a bit for community feedback before doing any editing.

7:20 PM

@Spevacus don't make me regret screenshotting that :D

@JourneymanGeek T_T I'm sorry Mr. Geek.

He's ambitious, I'll give him that. I believe this is the correct course of action, right?

@Spevacus We avoid burning tags without an actual, supported meta question and you definitely don’t edit if you don’t have full privileges.
