Why do we get so many lost souls?: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/372100/… - that's why.

According to The Complete Rate-Limiting Guide:

Recently, on user claimed that he was hit by this limit on SharePoint: chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/411/2021/11/19

Were the above limits (50 questions pre month, 6 questions per day) extended to some other sites? (I did not find a post about this on Meta Stack Exchange - but if that's the case, the FAQ post should be updated.)

I see that these limits were discussed on English Language & Usage back in 2014: 50 question per month limit? Maybe also on some other per-site-metas, this was what I was able to find quickly.

@Martin No, maybe hit by a different limit that coincidentally was 6. Just the Trilogy, otherwise. Two old posts: meta.stackexchange.com/a/95671/282094 meta.stackexchange.com/q/120071/282094 and by IP for new users: meta.stackexchange.com/a/93481/282094

Thanks for the response!

Well, when you said "Just the Trilogy" you meant Trilogy and Mathematics, right?

@Rob nah, only very few get to read those things. Maybe one or two out of the 10-20 daily lost souls lose their way due to this. While of course it should be changed to point on MSO (which won't happen), it's not critical.

@Martin No, (that's not what the posts say, study the glossary, the occasional addition of M is for MSE, not Math.SE). meta.stackexchange.com/q/157006/282094

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 They said that they did, go to their post and call them out.

@Rob one of the few whom I mentioned, didn't say 0 cases. Just not enough to justify a fix, in SE eyes.

What's one of the coolest sites?: winterba.sh

@Rob What I meant to say is that those limits (6/day, 50/month) are also enabled on Mathematics.

The post I linked (the rate-limiting guide) says: "On Stack Overflow, Super User, Server Fault and Mathematics (not active on all other sites)"

@Martin You'll want to find the link to either the complaint (not a comment in chat) or an official response before editing with an unsourced or untested statement, here's a couple: webapps.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4566/… math.meta.stackexchange.com/a/4770/510296 - there could be more, it looks like it's a site setting.

@Rob I am not really sure what you're trying to say now.

I am aware that the 6/50 limit exists on Mathematics, this was officially announced here: Should we ask for Question Quotas like those that have been available for the big three?

The rate limiting guide explicitly mentions four sites: "On Stack Overflow, Super User, Server Fault and Mathematics (not active on all other sites)".

What I ask originally was whether the information rate limiting guide is up to date or whether this limit (6 qpd) has been enabled on some other sites.

*asked

I thought that maybe people who visit this room would know if this was changed. (But I would also expect some kind of announcement somewhere on meta if the limit is now enabled on all sites.)

I certainly did not plan to edit the FAQ post about rate limiting, if that's what you're saying.

Or at least not without somebody finding some kind of official confirmation that the limits were changed.

@Luuklag meta.stackexchange.com/tags/blocklist/synonyms all's done but the approval of 4x users

@JourneymanGeek Looking at the link you've given, wouldn't this make blocklist the master tag? I.e., the synonym would go blacklist → blocklist.

@Martin ._.

I hope not!

...

I can just do it myself.. ooops

and reverse if I messed up

Yup done and correctly :D

Ok, so blocklist was intended to be the master tag.

yup

Ok, I see the relevant post here: Should we be replacing the blacklist tag with blocklist to reflect current SE standards?

yup

@JourneymanGeek I was a bit surprised mainly because you originally left it to be approved by users - at that point there was only a single posts tagged blocklist, so only two users with sufficient score in that tag to be able to vote on that synonym.

@Martin we don't do synonymns and mergers often and I forgot I could approve

I think I saw once a situation where a site mod suggested a synonym - but left the voting for users (on purpose).

Yeah, but here its pretty open and shut

I do not object. As I said, I asked only because I saw that there weren't enough users who actually could vote on that synonym.

As I said, we don't do this often :D

:(

lol

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 technically I was pinging Luuklag about a comment on my post I forgot about :D

@JourneymanGeek thx for that. Just saw a post using the blacklist tag the other day, and thought we ought to change that blocklist, and so found the old post

np :D

I kinda forgot about it and it was an easier fix than I'd initially thought

(blame my 'day' job...)
