@Shog9 I could even outsource the work to SO! "For my job I need to make an app here are teh specs I will accept the answer my boss likes best"

^ A dog. On my trampoline.

ahhhhh

cute

It looks like I get more audits if I go quicker...

8:32 PM

Oy @hichris123!

Hiya!

What's new?

Uhmm... let's see...

not much

@Stijn not really, sorry!

Wow. Low-key day then... Do I need to read the transcript?

low key?

8:36 PM

@hichris123 Only if you really want to.

@ShadowWizard Since nothing really happened...

Pretty much the most exciting thing is that I got a dog.

:O Really?

What's its name?

8:37 PM

Maggie :P

I just call it Dog

@Undo How very origional... :P

So it's a she then?

Yup

TRiG is Timothy Richard Green

Oh my eyes

Now you'll all suffer! :evil grin:

Ryan Carlson

@ShadowWizard What's that from?

How do you search a chat transcript for oneboxed comments? I thought it would be by URL, but that's not finding a comment I'm certain was oneboxed some time ago.

8:46 PM

@RyanCarlson read this one which links to this

@ShadowWizard Someone needs to write a userscript that does that.

@TRiGisTimothyRichardGreen if I search for that awfull picture Shadow Wizard justed posted it works for me...

@Undo this will be just cruel toward all internet users... :D

@Undo I'm on it! XD

Yay!

8:55 PM

@rene the picture is not oneboxed

@ShadowWizard ah...&!@

@michaelb958 Remeber, idiot is an offensive word (according to Fake Manish). :P

@hichris123 Gah, give me a break.

Anyway, this one will be called "Painfully Obvious Moderators". No chance of offending anyone.

Fake Manish is very sensitive.

His feelings are hurt easily

Fake Manish is also a mod...

Hey I'm offended on behalf of all bots

They're not fake

If I were a bot I would have flagged!

@rene :D

@animuson ooooh, I want one for codegolf too :D

10:06 PM

@Undo with over 100 sites and still growing by the day, they really need more than one designer so I'd say Jin's place is secured. :D

There goes my last close vote... I took your advice @Bart. :P

@ShadowWizard Yay! :D

@animuson saw 27 upvotes then 1 rep and thought "what the..... employee got suspended?!"

note to self: people actually listen to you. Use that to your own advantage

I'm not listening to @Bart!

10:08 PM

Excellent. Don't listen to me @ShadowWizard. Let's see how reverse psychology works out... wait .... I should not type that but think it ... dammit

@Bart's wish is not my command

/me votes for @hichris123 to be a moderator. Once plan is accomplished, he will suspend @ShadowWizard

I knew I shouldn't have said I would suspend people! Well, @Shadow may be a bot... digs into his account.

@Bart I'll do it if you vote for me! haha, I'm bribing him. maybe that will make me win. wait, am I also typing this instead of thinking it? no? ok, good.

OK, the time has come... you leave me no choice. I'm cornered. :going to fetch secret weapon:

Don't you dare take my smiting stick!!

hey guys, can ios-app question be dupe of android-app question?

example?

@ShadowWizard Depends on the question...

10:25 PM

@ShadowWizard No. No no no no.

A vs. B

We will have nothing to do with the Android sort.

They're two different apps.

@ShadowWizard Not dupes, IMO.

both depend on the API first

@hichris123 First! XD — michaelb958 25 secs ago

^ Darn

:P

I'd say it depends on the answer @ShadowWizard

If the answer is "That's not in the API at the moment", then yes

10:26 PM

Hmm... kk fair enough

Still, one could get the improvement before the other.

And then we have a dual [status-completed]/[status-planned]

I'd say dupe... but kinda. They do have to do the UI implementation too...

What's with all the hesitation you two. Like that you will never be moderators. DO MORE EVIL!

@Bart Um... what evil can I do? :P

looks for a place to output evilness

I know!

10:28 PM

nooooooooooooooooooo

hmm....

go animation

go

@Bart Was that sufficiently evil?

I like you a little bit less now @Undo. So yes.

Yay!

youtube onebox is big right?

@ShadowWizard I don't think there is a youtube onebox.

And I'm not going to tell you which one is big, because you'll use it.

^ I did get told I censored things. Is that enough @Bart?

oh, so small

Oh, maybe it does onebox.

There @ShadowWizard. That was enough fun. :)

By the way you all know who is this, right?

You see, I think you would be a good mod. You would generally cause mass chaos, break stuff, hurt people, destroy stuff & users, and just wreak havoc on the users/site.

@ShadowWizard Neal?

10:40 PM

Yeah

Yup!

I remeber the meta post on it :P

Looks like a sock rebellion to me

Was there a Meta post on it @Doorknob?

I hate that you can't flag posts to close after you go through your CV for the day...

oh, wait... still no match.

Could still explain it @ShadowWizard. Gets migrated. user visits later and has account created.

Or time machine.

Do people really think that gets them more attention and a faster response? (Well, it kinda does, but not in a good way)

It brings the wrath of the Tavern down on them... :P

cv-plz stackoverflow.com/questions/19648146/…

@ShadowWizard Hmm... I don't know. :P

^ @Undo!

It seems I made somebody angry. Got 40 downvotes a few hours ago on SO :D

Or you just really really suck

@Stijn hope it's not the Baba

@Stijn ...40 downvotes? Wow. Nope, that wasn't me at all. Didn't do it. I swear.... cough

11:33 PM

@Bart I hope not :(

I'm quite disappointed actually, he promised me he'll come back to hunt me down but never did that

You've got to wonder though, after downvoting in a rage on a post or 5 .... don't you kinda get the idea you might be a bit silly?

It takes dedication to downvote 40

And why would you be motivated enough to downvote 40?

@Bart 40 tabs open at once, downvote --> close --> downvote --> close

40x3 = 120 seconds total

@Stijn Just from some simple digging I figured out who it probably is... they didn't cover their tracks. :P cough badges cough

11:36 PM

@hichris123 Interesting, I'll take a look :p

@ShadowWizard that's far more dedication than I have. I can't even be bothered to finish this sente

lo

@hichris123 They were between 2014-02-11 18:44:17Z and 2014-02-11 18:46:08Z but I don't see anyone earning the Critic badge at that time?

@hichris123 yeah, initials are AA right?

not critic, Vox Populi

@ShadowWizard would be my guess

11:39 PM

Mod can't revoke badges though, only dev and dunno if it's worth bothering them

Aha. I edited a bunch of his posts today to remove his "please upvote" lines.

lol

what a proper revenge then!

At least he got a badge

@ShadowWizard I'm betting yes.

I got tons of my posts edited and all I got was this stupid badge.

I've sent him a tweet to thank him

Including a link to meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/126829/… :)
