I should go pee now then, I guess...
Five... four...
New UTC day!
Lights... camera... action!
Nothing yet...
00:01
No animuson in the list :P
Happy New Year UTC!
What the heck, I might as well go review some.
@Undo Me wantz! Fkey? :P
hehe
You would need my cookies too
Ugh, the queue is really slow.
@hichris123 if I had no cap, and there were 1000 things to review, this is the sort of thing I would do
00:02
If only I could close vote.
I'm in the list :P
in fact, I'm at the top!
@Flyk I'd do that too. :P
Sorry, @DoorknobofSnow, #3.
Animuson... 1 reviewed.
I'm above animuson!
00:03
(from the start of UTC0)
I did 100 edits in a day to get mortarboard on AU
@MichaelPetrotta ? I see myself at the top
didn't even take all that long
He'll probably be reviewing along and hit about 50 then discover a sock puppet gang in one of the posts and follow that down a hole.
Me is going to answer questions now since I can't partake in this party. :P

Time to set the record for fastest time burning through your CV queue votes, @DoorknobofSnow.
animuson: 3
yay!
Animuson... 4.
@Undo You better review... he's coming after you! :P
Are you guys going to post a new message for every single review I do? Because I think 1,000 "animuson... x" messages would look rather odd.
00:06
I'm up to 17 :P
@hichris123 He'll just do 41 and taunt me with it :P
@animuson Yes. We'll make Manish write a chatbot to do it.
@animuson Chatbot time!
hint: filter "primarily opinion based" :P
I want manish to make me a button in the close queue for one-click agreement with the vote.
@Undo He passed you.

I'd like to see all the SO mods and all the CMs all do a fifteen-minute spree through the queue :D
00:11
Anyone have any good bountied questions for me? ;)
@Undo Would be fun. :P
I hit the max :P
new record for using all 40 reviews: 11:56
Remember that every animuson/Shog review is worth up to five times as much as a review from a mere mortal

@Undo :( I'm not in the lead, then
You know I'm data logging this to see if it actually makes an impact? :P
hehe
It will
00:14
tomorrow I'm going to try to set a new 40-reviews record :P but failing an audit disqualifies it!
suprisingly I only saw 1 audit this whole 40 reviews
really, you get 40 per day on SO?
@Flyk That isn't normal?
@Flyk Yeah, the queue's so large you get 40.
review queues are normally 20/day on all other sites
:o Shog stole one of my reviews!
00:17
IIRC you get 40 on any queue with over 50 items.
oh so it's a queue size thing rather than a setting
interesting, TIL
100
reviews today
I wish we had busy review queues on Arqade

I mean, I'm the most active on them, but I have to go to other sites to get my reviewing fix
00:19
@Flyk It's 100 or more.
@animuson What are you doing posting oneboxes in chat? There's still things in that queue...
Look at all those pretty diamonds in stackoverflow.com/review/close/history
@animuson only one of those thresholds I hit frequently are 20 reviews/day and chat throttling
and the highest I've ever had chat throttling is 19 seconds
Bad Shog! Stop stealing my reviews. >:(
@animuson solution: review quicker
2580 repz... anyone have 400 rep to give me?
00:25
I don't, actually, I have ~150 rep on SO
@animuson funny, that's not supposed to happen... Are you filtering by OT?
@Shog9 Yes.
'k, that's it then
I'll filter to winapi
> PS: Because of StackOverFlow; I'm Learning :) Thanks.
Okay then...
Good...
Uhmm... that's [status-bydesign]
00:27
status-thats-the-whole-point
I want more [status-tag-parsing]!
The queue dropped almost 40 questions within 5 minutes...
The review audit message still scares me every time.
@animuson But you can't be review suspended...
@hichris123 Actually he can
But he just goes and removes the suspension.
00:32
He could just unsuspend himself...
So really it doesn't count.
No I mean just the event of it popping up is frightening. Like "ahhh what did I do??"
Even when it's a pass.
It still feels like you broke something.
I get that too :P
it's so... unnatural
I don't even see the message on suggested edit audits.
It's so obvious when you're getting one.
I sort of see it out of the corner of my eye as I click "Next".
00:45
I haven't seen an audit in months

Oh, please delete that, @Flyk.
No.
Please don't :P
I'm receiving conflicting instructions
sudo forbid deletion
and now the moment has passed
that picture made me laugh quite a bit
00:50
I love it.
"right, yep, let's sort this mess out"
The first hundred times.
"no... NO... NO" tries to escape
"Now none of it works..." :*(
is making a timelapse of the snow building up outside his house
that should be interesting
we've just got lots of wind
lots of wind.
00:52
Thought I'd be slick and drive into the office today.
Turns out something else was slick too.
did you actually drive into the office?
Yep. Nobody else was there.
On the upside, I got a chance to feel what the antilock brakes in my newish car feel like.
But apparently they didn't work well enough to keep you from driving into the office.
@Flyk I think @MichaelPetrotta still doesn't get it :P
00:55
Oh. Clever.
He has a really big office.
Beautiful ceiling art.

I'm so creative with file names :D
@hichris123: that's depressing.
01:00
@DoorknobofSnow At least you'll know what they are...
I have a habit of naming files random things that make no sense, like "zebra"...
Then later on I think "wtf was this?"
@MichaelPetrotta Yeah... :( I so want to be at 3k so I just don't report the news; I actually do something about it. :P
@animuson What file did I put my server password in? Oh, yeah, it was named zebra. Dumb me.
I once named a file that was used for calculating a leaderboard as "cogen" - still never figured out how I came up with that name.
@animuson "calculation ofleaderboard generator"? :P
(ofleaderboard is obviously one word)
We should get a bunch of moderators to all review at least 41 items today so no regular users appear in the stats. :P
ha!
You would get called so many names on meta...
01:06
@animuson Do you have that many diamonds (excluding SE employees)?
Imagine the names we'd get called if we all reviewed exactly 41.
@animuson Shog passed you up... :P
@hichris123 There are 16 moderators on SO...
@hichris123 No, there are only 16.
It'd be worth it, for the 656 items removed from the queue.
01:08
But then you only need four CMs
20 slots, right?
There's only 15 slots in the stats.
+You on top of the list
@animuson Really? Huh. So you could do it :D
16.
pedantry++.
Or maybe that's just not enough reviewers to fill the list yet
01:21
^ Graph of CV data from midnight UTC, FYI.
ooooh
I love having data and Excel. :P
hehe
What do you think would happen if I asked Jon Skeet for a bounty? :P
@hichris123 Hmmm... you'd have to track him down first.
01:29
Well, at least I'm getting way closer than I was before... I've earned ~300 rep between Wednesday and now.
The answer I posted today only got 1 upvote. ): It's clearly the best answer on the question.
@animuson sympathy upvotes :P
@animuson Yay rchern smilies!

No, bounty me.

no bounty me

I feel like I'm not contributing, as I have 1.2K rep, so can't review CV.
^ I beat you by about 2 months @Flyk. :P
heh
I asked a question on SO
It's well on its way to tumbleweed
@Flyk What is it?
I should do something to it to deprive you of your badge.
don't ruin it, I want tumbleweed
01:40
Me is too lazy to look...
you asshat
sets fire to @Undo
my experience with SO is that all of my questions get ignored
OR
I have an army of people ask comments containing questions
SQL-Server... ug. :P
that were already covered clearly in the post
I like MySQL much better.
@Flyk Ow. That hurts!
01:43
@Undo fire tends to
jumps in swimming pool Ah that's better.
No skinny dipping!
my fire is water proof
it even burns when there is no atmosphere present
Aaack thermite!
Aaack, this art history book I have to read decided to put a diamond after every important person's name. So confusing :P
@Undo EVERYONE IS A MOD
01:50
@DoorknobofSnow Yeah, every time I see someone's name with a diamond I think, "huh, that's weird. Where are they a mod?" Then I remember I'm reading a book :P
@Undo You must be so confused when playing cards :P
No, those diamonds are red.
Only SciFi has red diamonds.
And I don't hang out on SciFi :P
02:03
[winapi] is GONE!
(...from the close queue)
somebody just upvoted me on SO
whelp, my corner of SO is clean. Time for some mac'n'cheese
the world is about to end
Ewwww mac n cheese vomits
02:05
what's wrong with mac n cheese?
KD4lyfe
not just any mac'n'cheese
DAY-GLO KRAFT DINNER mac'n'cheese
I think I've had mac n cheese maybe like five times in my life, and only because it was a school lunch and I was forced to eat it.
gotta eat it with fresh-ground pepper & sriracha
You two have had fun today. :P
Why is there no meta post complaining about our shenanigans yet? ):<
02:16
@animuson Because it actually helped. Wasn't there one that complained about mods being able to be above all users on the standings?
let's face it: most of the posts I closed were 6 months to 2 years old. No one's looking at 'em.
Now, if we'd thought to leave a delete button in the close queue...
@Shog9 That's your job: create a thingy for CM's that batch deletes posts (just put in the id's). :P
I already have one of those: it's called a for loop
Then use it?
meh; 9 days and a good many will go away automatically.
02:20
Must get rep so I can join in your fun parties! :P

KD is the best
I have to import it though
which sucks to be me
you know you're weird when you import kraft dinners across the atlantic
02:37
@animuson @Shog9 You guys are awesome :D
Fourth of the way there in under three hours. :D Food time!
forces mac n cheese into @animuson's mouth
I have nachos. :P
I made a bug report yesterday, and it's currently sitting at +2/-2. I'm not sure exactly why it's being downvoted. (Or, specifically, I'm not sure why I received the second downvote after I did my first edit.) Is my bug report unclear or something?
I don't appear to be getting any responses from the downvoters themselves on how I could improve it (or if it needs improvement), so I figured I'd ask here.
@JonathanHobbs needs screenshots + hand-drawn circles
Please refer to the bug tag wiki
02:56
@Shog9 Ta. :)
03:21
@Shog9 I really wish the Close Votes queue differentiated the custom off-topic reasons. Especially for the typo reason - that's not usually immediately obvious since answers are not shown in review. Seeing that someone used the typo reason would spawn more investigation to determine if it's valid. Just seeing "off-topic" doesn't.
animuson♦ 273
@animuson Great job! :P
@Undo Thanks for Sublime! :D
@Undo ^ I'm using it right now, in fact :D for designing my new site
I couldn't figure out how to install a plugin. Though I put in a rather minimal effort into figuring it out.
@animuson If you do 1000 close reviews today (UTC time)... I'll give you a cookie.
2
A gluten-free cookie?
03:29
Sure.
okay, this next part might be a bit awkward
"hey dad, you're going to have to enter your credit card information into this web hosting site you've never heard of. ok? :D"
@Doorknob Which domain name did you go with?
@hichris123 it's a sekrit :P
for now
(not in a few minutes)
I've finished the logo, too
@DoorknobofSnow Cause we'd buy it?
@hichris123 Lol, no, just for suspense
03:47
okay, so my dad is now getting his credit card
...I can just imagine someone buying all the domains now :P
My parents gave me a credit card for their account with my name on it.
buys all the domains
300! ^_^
offers to sell one to Doorknob for $50

ipage y u so slow -_-
yay!
@michaelb958 yes I know :P
okay I'm going to sleep now; I will do stuffs in the morning
I want my rep back.
04:30
What rep?
As in "I want my money back" s/money/rep/.
Oh, imaginary rep. Gotcha.
04:43
vote count: 374 up, 375 down :(
Oh, your Stack Overflow profile @DennisMeng. I was thinking "one controversial post you've got there".
04:56
@animuson This could use some polish, but...
/ ==UserScript==
// @name ShowReviewOT
// @version 1.0
// @include http://stackoverflow.com/review/close*
// ==/UserScript==

function with_jquery(f) {
var script = document.createElement("script");

script.textContent = "(" + f.toString() + ")(jQuery)";

};

with_jquery(function ($) {

$(document).ajaxSuccess(function(event, XMLHttpRequest, ajaxOptions)
{
if ( ajaxOptions.url == "/review/next-task" || ajaxOptions.url == "/review/task-reviewed" )
@Shog9 I actually found out that if you click the "(more)" link to expand the instructions, it includes all the close reasons on the post with their descriptions, including the custom off-topic reasons. So I added the custom style .review-more-instructions ul { display: none } to hide the annoying button instructions so it doesn't take up so much space.
ha! That works too
Also, when you pass a review audit, it automatically hides that expanded information when you move on to the next item. ):
Or, maybe more accurate, forgets that you had it expanded.
05:27
That couldn't get any more obvious: stackoverflow.com/review/close/4007073
06:35
@michaelb958 Yep. Flipping through the VTC queue 80% of my SO time makes me sad
Though 15% I guess is spent here whining; I could cut that out.
06:45
I'm up to 500 today. (:
500 what?
500 whines sounds terrible
ah
huh. i've only done 9
i should fix that
i'll try not to weep during the next 31 reviews
You should do 500...
hey, if someone made me a diamond mod right now, i'd do a little more than just that
06:49
I'm going to bed. I'll work up to 1,000 tomorrow.
07:02
the review audits that add language tags sometimes make it hilariously obvious
i just got one that had "c" and "scala" tags together
and had a "java' and "haskell" one a while back
 
1 hour later…
08:13
is this a valid edit? It seems to me to introduce spam, but it was unanimously approved.
It does improve the post, but ...y'know... example.com.
I dispute the rewording is an actual improvement; and the site he links to does exist
I have considered a partial rollback of only the URL, but it seemed not an improvement enough for that.
This one is definitely too minor, right?:
08:35
I concur. Way too minor for that post.
09:39
@animuson That is some achievement (and that goes for @Shog9 as well). Still no 6003 reviews but you're getting there :-)
@JanDvorak I don't want to hammer a new user immediately
being nice != not voting
I don't consider my self to be nice for that user
I don't think this question will be improved enough, and if it does, I may revert my vote.
09:46
Oh, I said please
I agree on that
Let's see if the OP is around...
Probably gone the other internetz to vampire...
Hmm, oracle... I'm out...
Uhh... your attempt does not match the schema create table ??? (ID1 ???, ID2 ???, ID3 ???) (as inferred from what you've written) at all. What is your database structure, and what do ID1..ID3 refer to? Also, please don't shout. All-caps is rude and hard to read. — Jan Dvorak 1 min ago
Maybe I should downvote
Time to vote to close as unclear, if I hadn't already.
I've considered editing, but 1) I still have no idea what's his table structure, and 2) I'm afraid of an edit clash. OP is quite active

@rene yeah... I'm trying to :-)
I understand learning a foreign language can be hard (even if it's english), but please use a spell checker when posting in a language you don't know - it helps catching mistakes like "retive" and even identifying text-speak. Most text editors have one, and even a good web browser can do that. — Jan Dvorak 1 min ago
@rene opinion? ^
That is good advice. That is also stated in the help center. I tend to believe that some users simply don't grasp the guidance that is available.
that's why we have the ban-hammer
I have the query from that question in Sublime reformatted now
and downvotes and closevotes are the food for the banhammer.
OK... I don't think we'll see any other development on that question
That is true
10:33
@JanDvorak I've edit that question...
I couldn't resist

Q: Flag questions where OP says they solved it themselves in comments

davidkonradI have seen a lot of questions ending up with the OP writing a comment like fixed! solved it by doing x or y forget it found it out myself ..And so on. I have a phrase to this, when I meet it: "You could answer your own question and accept it, maybe helping other people with similar problems...

If this guy didn't have such high SO rep I would think he was just trolling
Yeah I noticed...
Looks like a major miscommunication between all parties

Asad Alilooks like home work where is your work?

A: Turbo C++: Why does printf print expected values, when no variables are passed to it?

Naniplease what is wrong with this statement in turbo c++ printf("press any key to end the program"); i tried running a program in turbo c++ and this was the only error it read.

That first one has 3 NAA flags in the queue and a downvote from me @LaszloPapp
ok, thanks.
Left a comment and downvote on the last one
11:45
ok, thanks.
Can someone rollback ^^^^^^ that
user wanted to 'delete' his question
I've not enough rep on SF
suggested a rollback
tnx
a mod-flag would do as well.

If it is handled this way...no need to get a mod alarmed I guess
