Could I get some dupe close votes here? I voted to close as "Not a real question" before I realized it was a repost by the same user (of a question that's already closed as "Not a real question")
@Lix - Sorry I missed you the other day. We just went to the beach. I need to get up north again. I'm in the Old City for now.

First of, I'm not referring to jQuery-UI or anything but whats used in SO source. Remember this is supposed to be a feedback merely for 5 warnings found on SO. Like I replied to Jermy's answer, browser sniffing is carried out in SO's javascript where it can be substituted by feature detection. For example, in cdn.sstatic.net/js/full.js file, we got window.attachEvent?window.attachEvent("onmessage",d):window.addEventListener("message",d,!1); which can be replaced by window.addEventListener?window.addEventListener("message",d,!1):window.attachEvent("onmessage",d);. — vulcan raven3 hours ago
I'm having a very hard time understanding this fellow. Checking for the presence of .attachEvent is "browser sniffing", but checking for the presence of .addEventListener is "feature detection"? My troll detector is starting to hum quietly.
@TimStone We'll probably go with native HTML audio by default with flash as a fallback at some point; should be much more stable these days than when we originally created chat
@TimYiJiang If it's an acer, make sure to update their stupid "update enhancement app", you'll never be notified of the ICS update if the update app isn't up-to-date.
facebook seems to have copied SO's "edit comment" feature - when's the lawsuit?
1 hour later…

@Gilles Unfortunately, we're going to have to agree to disagree on this one. What I should and should not have done is not dictated by you. — casperOne1 hour ago
@JeremyBanks Yeah. I think casperOne handled that interaction kind of poorly. Even though it sounded like Gilles was talking down to him / telling him what to do, he was making a good point.
According to http://meta.stackoverflow.com/a/92006/141361, we automatically delete old question with negative/0/1 scores (depending on time passed) and no answers.
I'd like to suggest extending something like that to closed questions as well.
In general, closed questions with no good answers ar...
@PopularDemand that wouldn't have hit the question under discussion though since there's a "no answers" / "no upvoted answers" criteria. What I was thinking was more like a "delete vote that only applies in 30 days time, only if the question hasn't been reopened in that period"
because really using favorites to record things you want to delete is a terrible abuse of the term "favorite"

Why was this perfectly legit question removed without any close votes?
I've posted a question in SO and somehow it's gone. I just don't understand why.

@Flexo Yeah, that's what I was talking about. I agree with you, it would be nice to be able to schedule stuff for deletion. Considering the moderator workload on SO, I can understand why casperOne would act immediately.
I'd like to imagine it was something Waffles did while nobody else was paying attention; left in the code unknown to anybody else on the team after he left... though that's probably not so.
@JeremyBanks Thanks for sharing this; I felt dumb for not knowing about that page until just now.
Now if only I could understand what sixlettervariables meant here, I'd be all set for the day.

Could somebody with 10k on meta make any edit to this deleted test question for me? I forgot that I wouldn't be able to edit it myself without undeleting.
