I have edited a bit the FAQ posts on deletion to reflect the recent change from "deleted recent questions" to "deleted questions". (Although I am not sure whether it is ok if regular user edits those posts - or whether I should have left that to SE staff.)

In any case, if somebody wants to have a look, I provided a bit more details about my edits here: chat.meta.stackexchange.com/transcript/1623/2022/1/13

@Glorfindel Among other things I have removed the link to your post: Allow banned users to see their own deleted posts. (Since now there is an easier way to get deleted questions/answers, this seemed redundant in a FAQ post.)

@Martin Its okay for regular users to edit that.

Tinkeringbell

^ That. If it's not okay for users to edit, the staff will have used the 'policy lock' :) So there's no accidentally editing posts that shouldn't be edited ;)

Martin

Thanks fro the response!

Luuklag

@Martin I improved on it a little

Martin

08:35

@Luuklag Thanks for doing that!

Glorfindel

@Martin thanks. I realized that as well and closed the question as a duplicate

Martin

Thanks for the response!

I cannot resist saying that your post was definitely useful before this change.

In fact, I sometimes worry whether my votes on your posts on Meta Stack Exchange won't be reversed as serial voting at some point - many of them are extremely useful.

Luuklag

@tripleee poof

tripleee

Luuklag

12:33

@RyanM yeah thats true, we have hunderds of duplicates

damn Glo beat me to closing that lost soul

Ryan M

13:01

@Luuklag we were speculating in Charcoal as to whether it was spam or not. No definitive conclusion was reached.

Luuklag

@RyanM the link was to a genuine tutorial I think

Ryan M

@Luuklag Yeah that's how I'm leaning, too.

Stack Gives Back 2021

Juan M on January 13, 2022

One of our most loved traditions is Stack Gives Back. Every year since 2009, we’ve surveyed Stack Exchange moderators about charities they would like to support and then donated $100 on behalf of each moderator.

Tinkeringbell

@Feeds Math doesn't check out.

Luuklag

@Tinkeringbell off by 6

Tinkeringbell

14:42

Which is weird.

Luuklag

yeah, too much of a rounding error

go complain on MSE

Tinkeringbell

"DISMISSED" XD

Luuklag

Fine, ill be the nagger ;)

SPArcheon

@Feeds bah, I was hoping the lame picture was a autostereogram.

Journeyman Geek

Feels kinda wierd not to round it up to say the nearest 10 dollars

Tinkeringbell

14:50

@Luuklag Tooooo late :P meta.stackexchange.com/q/375116/369802

Luuklag

haha no you're too late, but its your discovery so Ill delete min ;)

Tinkeringbell

No wait turns out I was late :P

Mine is already deleted now don't make this WORSE!

Luuklag

Worst? Where? I'm hungry

Journeyman Geek

That's the wurst.

speaking of food

bleh

I'm hungry but if I eat now, I might be hungry later

SPArcheon

@Tinkeringbell I'll repost it on Puzzling.SE

Tinkeringbell

15:02

@Luuklag I have Unox in the storage Billy....

@SPArcheon Sure, have at it :)

SPArcheon

15:26

@Tinkeringbell ^ you are welcome.

Tinkeringbell

Last sentence, typo... it's 'six dollars', not six dollar.

SPArcheon

(please, tell me that you at least went looking for the actual post :P)

Tinkeringbell

Of course not. Not that stupid...

Same typo is in the title too btw!

Ryan M

@SPArcheon The obvious answer: the postal service!

Meta Andrew T.

I thought it's another variation of the missing dollar riddle...

SPArcheon

15:29

@MetaAndrewT. yep, that is the one I had in mind.

Luuklag

15:54

@Tinkeringbell I asked for something to eat, not to read form your bookcase ;)

Tinkeringbell

@Luuklag Billy makes an excellent storage unit for sausages, bottles and cartons of drinks, booze, laundry detergent and much more ;)

I got the version with Oxford doors and haven't regretted it for a minute

Ryan M

also just to make sure everything got linked up...

!!/amicodeprivileged

SmokeDetector

@RyanM ✓ You are a blacklist manager privileged user.

Ryan M

16:14

(apologies for the noise, we were sorting out some missing links in my SD privilege entries, and also stumbled into an SD bug in the process)

Or from another perspective: a very quick promotion from "not privileged" to "blacklist manager privileged" :-)

Q: Sunsetting Jobs & Developer Story

TL;DR – On March 31, 2022, we will discontinue Stack Overflow Jobs and Developer Story. This includes all job listings, saved searches, applications, messages, recommended job matches, job ads, developer story, saved resumes, and the salary calculator. Back in April 2021, Prashanth posted an upd...

@RyanM blocklist :D

Ryan M

16:31

@JourneymanGeek I can't find the reference at the moment, but I think Charcoal's position (per @ArtOfCode) is that they'll be happy to change the names the moment someone in the affected group says that they find them problematic.

Although for the particular privilege it's also kind of misleading, in that there's a user blacklist that any privileged user can edit, while being a blacklist manager confers control over more than just the blacklists (such as the watchlists and some minor additional control over SD instances).

Spevacus

17:21

Yeah we haven't really had any problems with the blacklist terminology as it relates to Charcoal. SE has their stance which is fine and probably a good move especially considering how Github approached their terminology.

@JourneymanGeek Stack Takes Back 2022

SPArcheon

@JourneymanGeek would be more interesting if it did read "Sunsetting LifeHacks & Skepticts"...

Or SharePoint (dead site)

Journeyman Geek

lol

Site sunsets would likely be controverial if they are active

SPArcheon

@JourneymanGeek I think it is covered by the "for a greater good" clause

Journeyman Geek

Since when has SE cared about that? :D
