@Shog9 You never did write your final report. :P

@Shog9 Harder than it sounds, I guess?
@hichris123 not so much hard, just tedious

I just laughed uproariously.
@sudorm-rfTelkitty To be fair, (writing) software and soft wear go hand in hand. I mean, have you tried coding in uncomfortable clothing?
user202362
Then those people must be really confused when they found out the same people who bought software also spent hundreds or thousands of dollars on hardware ...
@sudorm-rfTelkitty Maybe they thought "hardware" meant protective gear or something. Like hard hats.
While manning the close vote queue today
I saw a question that made me go "Didn't I see this unclear question before?"
and after reading the comments, realized that I had, and made a remark in the comments two months ago

@sudorm-rfTelkitty Boy, some people are stupid. HTML is an STD? Ha! We all know it's a computer virus.
@jmac kitty isn't a boy. :)
@DennisMeng depends. If your code is really bad, a plate armor might be more comfortable due to the constand banging on your head.
@JanDvorak Plate armor has a 45% arcane spell failure so I can't wear it. :-(
@ShadowWizard not even an iron helmet?
08:01
oh boy :D
@JanDvorak oh, that's fine, I mean full plate armor.
When you say plate armor, I imagine someone wearing a bunch of paper plates.
But I got too much hair for an helmet.
a studded leather armor should suffice to protect your back
be sure to use a non-movable chair, however. Otherwise they might pull you out, and your legs will become an easy target for pretty much any melee weapon.
@JanDvorak but then how will I play chair race?? :P
@ShadowWizard you don't. If you do, you'll become an easy target. In fact, I suggest always arriving first, leaving last and never using the toilet.
08:11
@Jan great suggestions! :D
is this spam, or just POB?
@JanDvorak nah, no spam there.
just poor question

you ruined the chain
UTC+11:00 for the win.
@michaelb958 not fair, you get all the sun! ;)
If a questions asks for how to do X, and the answer is you can't do X out of the box and you need library Y to do it, does the question then fall under library recommendations? I'm hesitant to close, because the answer helped me and I'd even like to improve it.
@ShadowWizard I don't want no stinking sun. It's too hot.
10:00
@Stijn no, we must not judge a question based on a given answer
@michaelb958 and here it's too dry. Only one rain session during the WHOLE winter.
@ShadowWizard OK, great :)
@ShadowWizard It was 31°C yesterday. (That's 88°F for you crazy Fahrenheit people.) Oh, and when was the last time it actually rained...
@michaelb958 celcius here too. And it was 20-30 here during most of the winter, but still, not much sun. You stole it, taking all the good light to yourselves! :-P
@ShadowWizard I don't want the sunlight! You have it!! (If only it was actually transferable.)
@michaelb958 so you prefer to stay in the dark all day and night, 24/7? ;)
10:06
@ShadowWizard keep your light for yourself, I'm a vampire.
@ShadowWizard Artificial light is just fine by me.
@michaelb958 those living in Greenland will probably disagree with you ;)
@SPArchaeologist but you're not a n00b vampire, you're high level vampire meaning you can resist light.
@ShadowWizard still booring. The perfect light condition is cloudy. So that you won't have sunlight in your eye when driving to/from office.
@SPArchaeologist I agree. 20°C and overcast, all day, every day.
But then flowers will die! So cruel. :D

Q: Low number of questions in Close Votes review queue

TomI have noticed that number of questions in Close Votes review queue has drastically dropped recently. Did you run any bulk "cleanup" on those? Would you be able to share some logic behind that e.g. all questions in a queue for X months have been "cleaned" etc.?

@SuhosinPony Did Pinky gave (yet another) a party last night? Would explain the time.
11:17
@SPArchaeologist Definitely that, I was not in the Everfree forest past dark.
@SuhosinPony you could at least have brought some spare muffins then. And don't go telling again that you left them on a bench for a second and when you turned all left was a bunch of letters.

@JeroenVannevel you don't have to always improve, if the edit is good but not 100% complete, approving it is fine, then you can get back to it later to fix the rest of the problems.
why the heck was in praise of moderators on the left?
when i entered chat?
what left, @LowerClassOverflowian?
i didn't want that room, i wanted the bar
Because it had the most recent message
Here you mean? What @Bart said :)
14:40
I see, it's always been tavern for me, so guess i always came at the right time until now
The tavern is much more active than any other room so it's rare to not see it first, yeah
@ShadowWizard Eh, by that criteria I would've only had to improve 3 posts. I feel compelled to only pass perfect edits
You can bookmark the URL of the room itself, you know :)
@JeroenVannevel fair enough, but that's a burden you take on yourself willingly.
@ShadowWizard True. Oh well, the world is a better place now because of those 4 improvements

With -4 is that an insta-ban?

could vary from site to site
@rene no, hard to believe it. I think that even -100 won't give insta-ban, it starts only with minimum amount of questions, so it's fair enough.

@ShadowWizard unlikely

Q: Get rid of the question ban on Meta; suspend actively harmful users manually

PëkkaThis user appears to have been question banned because of two unpopular Meta suggestions. (He says so in Chat) Look at the two contributions that appear to have gotten him banned. Like those of many others, they may not be of perfect quality, but they are not actively harmful to the site, either...

Welcome to the SE Network. You're Q and A banned. Improve your non existing posts first before posting them.
@JanDvorak just wait until MSO becomes a child meta and no longer has one.
15:55
@Shog9 ETA?
@JanDvorak 6-8 years
oh... :-)
Just kidding, it should happen before then
:D
But yeah, the only way to get rid of folks on child metas is to suspend them on the main site.
Someone wants to throw up 3 questions an hour loudly complaining about the folks who are criticizing his questions? The system will let him. All day long.
15:57
@Shog9 so user who is q-banned on a site can't post on its child meta?
@ShadowWizard oh no, they can
But meta requires 5 rep, isn't it?
so?
Plenty of q-banned folks have 5 rep
Oh, lol. Blonde moment
banned != suspended
15:58
Yep.
I'm saying @Jan may change his mind about the usefulness of the meta q-ban once it's gone
There aren't a lot of blocks that happen on MSO right now
but they're some of the more persistently annoying people
Yeah, there will be tons of "Why I can't post questions anymore" questions in SO child meta
mods will use the manual smite-hammer, then
@JanDvorak ...on Stack Overflow, yeah.
No per-meta suspensions either.
You screw up on the new MSO, you're done on SO too
Since MSE is becoming a standalone site, I think it should have a child meta.

normally you start screwing with MSO once you're q-banned on main
