"I’m too lazy to download this giant zip file." - That seems a rather odd statement. Downloading a ZIP file only requires a couple of button clicks. If you're that lazy then chances are you didn't click the link to read the blog in the first place.
The All Questions frontpage still shows the last answerer/editor, even if that answer was deleted. This has been brought up as a bug before, so this is a feature-request to fix this.
The main reason it needs to be fixed is because if you delete a spam answer, it's good to be able to watch the f...
@Undo I think it's more like he runs a script, goes to work, SE eventually blocks script. He comes back, edits script runs it again, SE eventually blocks script and on and on.
Hmm. Maybe this is like sockpuppeting, but for flag weight instead of rep! Everyone who was just talking to me about that spam, you are now UNDER SUSPICION.
@hichris123 "Don't have" is not the same as "can't get."
Something keeps making noise like a star trek doorbell next to me, and I can't for the life of me figure out what it is.. it's starting to freak me out :S
@Undo yeah, I'm personally not inclined to give this jackass any more attention, but if Seth (how the hell do I ping you, @ɥʇǝS?) is concerned he should contact us & we'll follow up.
One of our apps started becoming intermittently unavailable, and I was seeing "timeout waiting for a connection from the connection pool" errors in the logs. This occurred right after an email was sent out inviting thousands and thousands of people to visit our app.
I honestly don't know much about load balancers at all. And I'm not an ops professional. But I feel like saying "Silverlight, don't care." is just a bit too dismissive.
Okay, weird question. I'm about to post a negative answer to my own Meta question. (i.e. "your question is invalid"). Should I make such an answer CW, or just leave it as is?
If a question cannot be made sufficiently clear using the options provided by the site, it's more than likely simply not a fit. Questions like this have several issues.
They are "debug this for me" questions. If you are unable to show us the code or take the specific screenshot with the inform...
Is there a CM who can save a poor new user pissing off the entirety of The Workplace with an account merge? Here is the meta thread, but the poor guy keeps posting from different accounts, being unable to address the previous questions he asked with edits or comments, and posting new versions over...and over...and over... It looks like he finally registered this account
I’ve been a member of Stack Exchange (specifically, Super User) for almost a year and a half,
but I’m slowly expanding into other SE sites (e.g., “Unix & Linux” and “English Language & Usage”).
Every time I do, I look at the “about” page / tour
(for example, here is the one for Super User,
and I...
@Bart The guy has posted the same question half-a-dozen times in various forms, ignoring previous answers, making edits to new posts as new accounts to respond to comments to previous comments on previous questions, and is causing a whole slew of headaches for community moderation since we can't handle this with normal tools.
@Bart Look at this suggested edit -- totally different user name, edit summary is only 'clarifications', and so whoever reads these, unless they have been struggling with this user already, would be absolutely baffled as to what is going on
So general idea is if we can merge all his various accounts and questions, then we can start downvoting, deleting, and consolidating his posts so that he will have a clear way to interact with us without mucking up the entirety of our review queue.
@Bart We've had a lot of new people show up, but I don't think I've ever seen anything this bad in the year I've been looking. Usually people can stay unregistered, but still have access as long as they have cookies, so it isn't that much of an issue. Either this guy is using separate browsers, or different devices, or just has cookies off or something?
@hichris123 Like [meta-tag:meta-tag] levels of meta.
@Bart Well, yes, that is always a possibility. But his questions indicate he is a manager. And we all know managers are always very well adjusted people.
