@Pollyanna proposed "cheese". Not really wild about "participating" too much there - I really don't have the time to devote to a lot of SE sites, so seems disingenuous to spend much time on proposals.
@PopularDemand technically, ChetA proposed it at some ungodly hour, but since it was deleted before I'd even had my first cup of coffee, I re- proposed it
Blacklist? How 'bout, make opinion into a kiss of death: Go through the questions so-tagged, and vote to close them. If they're already closed, vote to delete them. If they don't deserve either, then re-tag them.
@Shog9 Oh, wow, I didn't realize that was a serious comment. I didn't participate until after the ChetA days, or at least the tail end of his presence.
I suspect at some point, most users will have forgotten about him (or, like you, never really paid attention to begin with) and it'll all blow over
SE is big enough now to attract real trolls and hoards of clueless newbies, so the value of having one person serve as some sort of figurehead for "everything that's wrong with the site" is reduced
Hi, we have one to many to one relationship which we are trying to implement in NHibernate. This is a rephrase of my colleague's question.

So there I was, happily munching on a maple-syrup-covered waffle and editing a question for grammar, when I noticed that the OP, who was reporting an error message, didn't write down the error text correctly. The meaning of the message was more or less the same, but the text was pretty different. I pasted in the correct error message, but that feels like a pretty big change. Comments?
I'm so frustrated at not being able to queue things up for bounties, or do more than one at a time. I can't keep track of all the issues I need to promote.
I should note, sir, we're normally a "bread and wine" type establishment, but for such an eminently important person such as yourself, I'd be honoured make an exception.
@PopularDemand @SergioTapia Ok. I just created an account there and here is the message I got: You've associated your Game Developers and Area 51 accounts: +100 reputation
When a user removes his/her question from SO is it completely removed from SO?
I think the question should remain in SO because users generally remove their down voted questions to save reputation, but the question might be genuine answer with the solution to a question, thus it should not be d...
I feel like 'Anonymous posting area' would end up becoming a bathroom wall of posts. Anyone who is frustrated or angered by something could seek refuge there.
If your question is embarrassingly easy, you should think long and hard about whether or not it is worth being on stack overflow. If you ...
Users with >200 rep on any SE site automatically get a +100 bonus when associating with another SE site. The association process is handled automatically for existing SE users who open accounts on SE sites they haven't used before.

I know this has probably been beaten to death, but there really needs to be a way to remove yourself from posted content. I understand deleting content has its issues, but certainly you should be able to transfer something you posted to an Anonymous account.

@rchern Meta Stack Overflow is not a place for uninformed guesses, it is a place for questions that can be ans... baaaaaaaaaaaahahaha, sorry, I couldn't keep a straight face through that.
If you make a Tag Wiki entry, you can use the markdown single quotes for emphasis and it shows it on the Tag info page. If you then go to the Tag Questions page, it just shows normal single quotes.

@rchern I feel like Stack Overflow Internet Services is not responsible for any damage to computing equipment that may result from reading or following advice, instructions or suggestions made in The Tavern. is coming soon.
@LanceRoberts Really? I thought it was fairly clear:
Hmm, my multi-line messages keep getting cut off after the first line.
"What's up with this one question?" - per-site meta "How do I behave on this site?" - per-site meta "How does the machinery for this site work behind the scenes?" - MSO
Perhaps it's because I'm ending them with colons. test of a line not after a colon: test of a line after a colon

That's a great idea.
They can just allow the user to check a box that it's a timed question, and they have one week to get an answer, then it all dissapears (except for the rep gain, which will still be there to encourage good answers). It'd probably be a little more work for the database engin...
@Diago I realize you're a computer guy, so just so you know... installing a new liver is slightly more challenging than installing new RAM. Even in a MacBook.
@Diago yes, I was serious about the idea, but looking back on it I'd go for a longer timeframe. This would help get rid of the old useless computer rec answers that are no longer applicable.

It was upvoted 14 times, to be precise.
There are a few things in front of it.
