Not any more

@JourneymanGeek @Tinkeringbell this user is most likely back with a new account, can you take a look and nuke? (while extending the suspension period on the main)

See their question, almost identical wording.

OK, I'll also flag. ;)

@JourneymanGeek Not any less? ;)

@ShadowTheKidWizard There's not enough for me to be sure enough. Definitely not something I would describe as 'almost identical wording' either.

They're not totally stupid, so they change it a bit. But I'm pretty sure it's the same person.

And look who is using Postman: postman.com/altimetry-candidate-29374671

I'm wondering about the recent influx of questions about API. Is it related to the Student Ambassador (hackathon) program...

@MetaAndrewT. nah, I really hope not, and don't think so.

More likely single person bypassing suspension.

hmm

Worth asking though, and if such low quality stuff is result of that program, I'll ask to shut it down ASAP.

Seed is planted. Now we wait...

@tripleee troll. Post nuked. (abusive red flag.)

@tripleee not really, troll would react on any comment quickly.

thanks for the nuke though

it looked vaguely like just regular vandalism until they started commenting

@tripleee flagged (why Smokey didn't report?)

@ShadowTheKidWizard only experimental reasons at that point, blacklisted now

the Ubuntu one should be reported by Smokey in 3 .. 2 .. 1

did you see what I did there?

@tripleee oh, I keep forgetting Smokey works only based on block-list, so all other sites won't trigger it.

@tripleee not really, sorry. :/

there's a back end called Halflife which I have been toying with which should perhaps learn to take over some of the manual chores, but don't hold your breath

@ShadowTheKidWizard oh, it was magnificent

@tripleee hal what?? lol

oh wait

Half Life?

it actually responds to @hal

Hey people! I noticed that a question was closed as it needed details/clarity. After some edits by the OP, I realised that the question is a duplicate of some other question. Now, what should I do? Is reopening the question and then marking it as duplicate the right thing to do?

Well - Is it a question that would actually be a useful signpost to another question?

Yup

In that case possibly

Though you'd need to actually get it reopened and closed

If you can singlehandedly do this, reopening and reclosing is fine. If you can't, you have two options: Vote to reopen with a comment (which runs a pretty big risk of users voting to leave closed anyways), use the site's meta to try and get some support for doing this (you will still need multiple users to carry out the actions), or (and I think this is your best bet) raise a mod-flag, with reasons why the post is a good sign post and deserves a moderator's attention to fix this.

@Tinkeringbell The post which I am talking about is in MSE

I have voted to reopen the question, but I'm not sure if it'll get reopened.

Ah. While MSE is in some sense its own meta site too (for like tag burnination requests and such), I don't think discussing questions on MSE on MSE is... a good thing to start.

So that still leaves you two options, and you already picked one.

commenting that something's a possible dupe may help too

@JourneymanGeek I did... but there are many comments under that post... so reviewers might miss the relevant comment

if there's no comment, no one will ever see it, or know why the reopen vote is there

This is the post: meta.stackexchange.com/q/382583

@RandomPerson leave it be, it's a lost cause.

OP can post a new, clear, question once it's deleted.

OP's linked the other post in theirs

@ShadowTheKidWizard wouldn't that be annoying fellow users? And the question would be worthless if posted after couple of weeks.

and I see staff commenting so they should be aware its borked

On second thought, it's something else, they don't even have iOS 15.

Something on their side just block JS, be it Firewall, ISP, VPN, etc.

Nothing SE can do.

@ShadowTheKidWizard Which should be given priority? OS version or browser version? I gotta check the browser versions mentioned in both the posts.

@RandomPerson tbh unless you have a mac or iphone and can duplicate the issue, there's not much to do

its on the poster to fix their posts

@JourneymanGeek I suppose they did

@RandomPerson dunno, but the original is only about review and only about iOS 15.

@ShadowTheKidWizard well, even this post is about the same issue

> I am able to enter the question window of any Stack Exchange site, draft it up, pick tags, and when I try to hit "Post your question", the button simply does not actually execute its function. It changes color as if it is being clicked, but it doesn't do anything, and I don't receive the right bar notice "Step 2: Review your question"and the button "Post your question" never appears preventing the submission of questions on all the SE sites.

@curious this was made by stable diffusion. I am still trying to get how the prompt was interpreted

That said, maybe I should start selling these at the next anime con.....

Can't you make it as NFT and sell for $10000 each?

Maybe you'll have to add monkeys for people to actually buy, though.

@caird new avatar? Looks different but can't be sure. ;)

Edit: yes, it's new, your old avatar still there in the network profile. :D

People rarely remember to manually synch their network profile.

Myself included! Too lazy in my case. :P

@ShadowTheKidWizard Yep, my other puppy but with a witch hat :P

@curious should be doable with some patience.

@cairdcoinheringaahing nice! So that they won't envy each other? ;)

@SPArcheon I got SD running on AMD GPU here but I don't get a UI and I don't know how to work the other good stuff in... (img2img for example)

I did a bunch of portraits of plant people that I really want to elaborate more!

@SPArcheon looking good!

I got a UI running through Google collab but already got throttled ^^'

I barely did anything!
