It happens quite regularly that some enthusiastic user goes ahead and fixes some problem with a tag and edits a lot of posts in a short time. This can have a very negative effect on the fronpage of a site, especially on slow-moving sites. These mass-edits displace new questions and answers from t...
@jadarnel27 I have an opinion, I just have zero interest in getting drawn in. I've got too much else to do to be wasting my time arguing over something like that, heh.
For instance, I haven't added you in Diablo III. :O
I added someone I sort-of-know the other day (a guy that's dating my friend's sister). He then started insta-joining my games every time he logs on and I'm in a game.
Which is often while I'm fighting some damn unique pack of monsters, and so I die.
@JeremyBanks I didn't realize the "allow friends to join without invitation" was an option (enabled by default) until the other day. It is limited to people you're "Real ID" friends with or whatever.
So that EU privacy regulation requiring all websites to inform users of the fact that they use cookies is now been complied by by websites
I'm seeing these popups everywhere now

@jadarnel27 Ah, that's less horrible, though it still seems like a bad default. I think you still can't block people from joining parties in SC2, but since that's not while you're actually in-game it's not as bad.

Blizzard was very slow and negligent in providing effective blocking options for SC2. You'd think that seeing chat messages of racial slurs appearing during broadcast games would motivate them, but apparently not much...
@JeremyBanks Haha, yeah. I think the setting I have now is better (people can still try to join my party / game, but I have to click "approve" first). I don't mind the guy joining, but I prefer to wait for a moment where it won't kill all of us =)
@JeremyBanks That really sucks =/ I rarely played multiplayer on SC2. Just the campaign. So I didn't experience that so much.
@JeremyBanks Just customs. Very briefly, I was good enough to win in random 2 v 2 games.
This might be weird, but I found it...stressful =) So I never moved beyond that, and eventually went back to just single player.

I empathize, multiplayer SC2 (1v1 in particular) can be very stressful. Lots of folks mention "ladder anxiety". I don't really play anymore, just watch. :P
I had added a disjunctive clause (and forgot to surround it with parentheses) to a stored procedure and generated a bunch of duplicate stat pay accruals.

@AkashM: Haha, it had to get done somehow. Better to do it now while the number is still low than later when the number is higher and it's virtually impossible... It's hard to mass retag on Meta because of the low activity. :/
Just wondering: I'm finding that quite a few (mostly high-rep) users have different usernames on MSO than elsewhere on the Stack Exchange Network. For example, BoltClock on SO is BoltClock's a Unicorn on MSO and Neal on SO is amanaP lanaC A nalP A naM A on MSO. Is there a reason for this, or is this just for fun?
@DragonLord Haha, that's excessive. It's funny how some people's response to "Don't put that word in the title" is to put incomprehensible garbage into the title instead.
(Rather than reconsidering the wording of the title entirely)
@Flexo If it was about election candidate swag, then it was legit. If it was about signing on to some "cosmetology" proposal, it was probably phishing.
