Hi guys, is it a good idea to post a question on meta regarding the format of the community bot posts of electing moderators, as it could use some reformatting to make it look better :3

E.g here codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/25150/…

@DialFrost I'd consider it on-topic. Dunno if it would be accepted by SE as it's likely low priority, but if you make it really pretty, who knows!

hmm

it's only minor changes, if you check the link i shared u can see my revision

so im not sure

@Spevacus So I would'nt really call it "really pretty" :3

Unless the question includes answers from others as ideas! :3

Which I doubt is a good idea since usually only mods ask them

@DialFrost Eh, feature requests innately can accept other answers as alternate ways/modifications to a feature request. You can also add discussion if you're more explicitly wanting to solicit other ideas (make sure to explicitly say that in the question body)

Not only mods can ask 'em

Ah ok, I guess I'll try ask it then

Posted! I'll see what feedback it receives

tbh - its a reasonable suggestion

@DialFrost mods generally ask them cause at some point we know what we can get away with and where :D

Ah hehe I see :3

One of the core skills of moderation (and I'd say managing a community writ large) is understanding what works with your audience

which happens to translate well to writing meta posts :D

I edited your title a little

Thanks!

click-bait post :3

I'm also wondering if saying explicitly you wanted the use of headers would be a good idea

naw, actually this is quite direct.

There's 2 ways to write a 'good' title

one is to make it very clear what its about

rarely clickbait works - but not on the expense of clarity.

> Chat is hungry in read only mode and keeps quietly snacking on my posts

Hmm true

That is clickbait

Hehe

but it also tells people what's happening

Don't forget about using "Eek!"

That's a meme I've not seen for a very long time

Gotta luv "Eek!" :3

@Spevacus the 4th one is the wrong Eek! That's... I dunno, sound effect of getting attack?

@MetaAndrewT. I was trying really hard not to edit it for the purposes of the chat message and now that you've called me on it I'm finding it really hard not to

...K! You got me...

@curious I saw the extension, unless you hacked Chrome to allow animation in .jpg images, I'm pretty sure the cat will never blink. ;)

@Spevacus and have enough "e"'s based on severity.

Think the missing envelope was four?

Eeeek

Yup. (10k only, sadly.)

Shockingly, complaining about change is as old as... change :D

@Catija Then... you know. After sawing that I was actually going to post a question on SciFi asking HOW the post credit scene in MI2 came to be since it seems to go against everything Ron is now swearing was planned form the beginning, then decided it was not worth since I found too many contradicting versions of that story myself...

Looks quite similar to the "FF7 totally started as a detective story and spite against the Chrono team has nothing to do with a certain character death" theories....

hmm strange, off topic wave on MSE out of the blue. No new featured post, no new inbox item.

Two in matter of couple of minutes.

lol

are you parked on the front page? :D

@curious they probably felt the pressure of the Stable Diffusion competitors

There are quite a bit of free services that produce decent enough results

The new RoboHomer movie, courtesy of the free Stable Diffusion official demo on hugging face.

@JourneymanGeek and the complaining about complaining about change is as old as the complaining about change, thus also as old as change?

Yes

change and complaining about change are the only constants.

I guess that would make math and physics a whole lot easier...

Memory-wise...

> Osmanthus wine tastes the same as I remember... But where are those who share the memory?

@SPArcheon Look upon thy works, oh mighty ... Osmantus?

@JourneymanGeek always :D

@SmokeDetector still up

@tripleee @rene go do your job :P

Saw what Tink just ate as well. ;)

How? I chew with my mouth closed...

@Tinkeringbell SE has nasty habit of leaving around the waste. :P

(after it was chewed! ;))

grosss

That's my another middle name! :P

How many middle names one can have?

Shadow The Gross Escalation Wizard

in some cultures, dozens (though the precisely middle ones can be at most two, of course)

Probably too many characters. :(

@tripleee why two? Isn't all the names which aren't first or last considered middle?

I mean if your name is "foo bar baz quux stack exchange overflow com" then by some definition the ones which are not in the middle ("quux" and "stack") are something else

two if the number of words (or however you calculate the distance) is even, only one if it's odd

@tripleee hmm I don't think so, but hey, I'm far from expert on this. ;)

Will check it at some point, if I won't forget. :D

@ShadowTheKidWizard I think it's just pedantry, and not like law ... :P

I hear in the United States you are required to have a middle initial

@Tinkeringbell well, surely there is something official defining what exactly the "middle" in that context means. :)

Oh, probably

@tripleee huh, that's silly but yeah, no surprise.

Also some law about not wearing hats while you eat.

Dutch doesn't really have the concept of 'middle' name. We just have first name, second, third... etc. and then 'last name' XD

And then there's 'baptismal' names vs. 'calling' names. In official government registration, I have two totally different first names than the day-to-day one that I'm actually called when people need my attention.

neerlandistiek.nl/2019/01/een-corpus-van-roepnamen-en-voornamen < if you're interested in how that works, try and see what google translate makes of that page. The first paragraph explains the differences.

many cultures have conventional nicknames (Jim for James, Bob for Robert, etc) but I guess the Dutch convention is unusual in that the official name is almost never used except for official documents etc

Yep. And my 'day to day' is also not like the conventional nicknames, it's totally different XD

Though some are like that, where a 'gerardus' becomes a 'gerrit' in day to day life.

And then over here there's also the very rural village thing where people get totally weird nicknames, like "table lamp", and no one seems to remember their full name. Gets confusing when they die and their offiicial name is put in the newspaper or church communications. My grandma sometimes goes 'Well, apparently X is dead for weeks already but there was nothing in the newspaper/church', even though there was but she just never recognized it XD

@Tinkeringbell so regonisable. In the village my parents are from a lot of people get called after the name of the farm they live in. Or people still using lastnames from before Napoleon decided people should have an official last name.

@Luuklag Here it's really more... the 'table lamp' thing has a story to it. It's not a farm name or an old family name, it's really just a nickname someone got due to something happpening and it stuck.

@Tinkeringbell sure.

@rene was it actually still there? I didn't recheck after pinging XD

No, the community handled it but I was pinged by @Glorfindel as well for extra context. All is good.

Hahaha
