12 minutes ago this user was created and asked a question which was spam. after 8 minutes of which another user is created who asks another question, again spam. People are targeting SE for cheap advertisement
@LaszloPapp well, you can flag something and ask moderator to take a look, then the user can be warned. If he'll keep doing it, he might be eventually suspended.
As described also in these two other questions:
- More aggressive tag match between reviewed question and reviewer activity
- Review questions with related tags only
The review quality is strongly related to the capability of the reviewer to understand the post. Wouldn't it be valid to allow r...
I do not completely agree with Servy to be fair. He says that it would be a bottleneck to get the tag gurus to review, but what if they get notification somehow?
I do not think a guru regularly visiting the site would not then spend a few seconds with it.
also, gurus are usually 20K+ and they will keep the tagwiki up to date, more or less.
There should be editor info alongwith the edit to be reviewed
this info should be the tags in which the user is mostly active or the info about the activity of user in the tags of the post being edited by the user
I think later suits more
this can give a better idea to reviewer, about, whether, to trust the editor or not. If reviewer is only reviewing based on idea and have no knowledge about the tag.
I got ideas popping out my ears today. Applied three new logics in code since last three hours
I think allowance for only significant contributors can be an issue for not so popular and/or new tags.
but the above example shows that the reviewers have no information about what a tagwiki is supposed to be.
I thought reviewers would leave the robo behavior behind when reaching 5K+ or even earlier.
the funny thing is that when you see a bad post sneaking in with modulo approval, and then in a couple of minutes the revert sneaking in with modulo approval.

Amarula is a cream liqueur from South Africa. It is made with sugar, cream and the fruit of the African marula tree (Sclerocarya birrea) which is also locally called the Elephant tree or the Marriage Tree. It has an alcohol content of 17% by volume. It has had some success at international spirit ratings competitions, winning a gold medal at the 2006 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
History
Amarula was first marketed by Southern Liqueur Company of South Africa (the current trademark owners) as a liqueur in September 1989, the Amarula spirit having been launched in 1983. ...
Drink one bottle, put another on your skin and believe me, you won't care for anything anyone will tell you! :D
@AnnaLear come on, all the reputation is a result of extreme advertising. Someone just promoted this question in a chat room and on meta. Quite common practice to snatch some extra rep, you know. — Your Common Sense4 hours ago
@JanDvorak nah, I won't keep it going. And will probably delete my comment anyway soon. :)
@JanDvorak oh, sometimes they do something like "Sorry, a mistake". Sometimes they delete their own question without a comment. But 99% of the times no response.
I just got so bored seeing the duplicates pop up over and over again. And people answer them with the same copy-pasted content, so I just made a question...
And thought it'd help reduce clutter. But so many people seem to be worried about the reputation I'm getting from it (see the meta comments).
I don't want to be called a rep-whore any more :-P
The team didn't set out to break that, it's just a side effect of the switch to elastic search. Also, how about not insisting to find questions where you can add irrelevant and unhelpful noise to the title just because?
fwiw, I'd like to have that fixed as well, but I leave that call to Marc, he knows that area better
@balpha well, from his response sounds like it's not important enough and personally I agree with him. Maybe worth adding some note in the advanced search documentation though?
@Stijn It took me about 5 minutes to read whole sentence and then trying to pronounce it correctly(which I am still not able to do). Then I realized I can use translator. (idea)
On several sites (SO, Money), a user has added third-party tracking beacons to both questions and answers. Should this behavior be encouraged, discouraged, or left alone?
Each and every user is lead through plenty of material before asking anything on the site @durron597. And then again, I've seen plenty of material from users who I thought were non-native English speakers ...
I'm getting some problems to get this part of the code, that I get from yourself. Here is my code:
import cStringIO

from xml.etree import ElementTree
_API_KEY = 'my api key'
_ima = '/the/path/to/a/image'
sock = cStringIO.StringIO()
upl = pycurl.Curl()

I'm not saying you're wrong about the non-native speakers. I'm saying you're wrong about the native ones. They are equally as horrible and don't read a thing either. Who reads the small print? Blabla info bla, now let me ask my question.
It just makes intuitive sense to me that people who are weak in English are less likely to read the help documentation or follow links to "related posts" than those who are fluent
@durron597 we are trying to tell you that nobody reads the documentation. It doesn't matter their language skills. I've seen people that really tries to ask a good question and people that just don't care.
During quite a few usability tests in the past I have noticed the following: A test person gets a simple task to achieve. Lets say "Book a flight from A to C via B". He should then fulfill the task using the product (in this case a website).
After less than two minutes the test person started to...
> This happens when they care about the task. When they want to do it, they take their time to do it properly. When they don't want to do it, they don't concentrate on it.
No, you can't have both @durron597. And the more you try to achieve the first, the faster you'll reach the second. "Ooh, that's where the experts are ..."
i've gotta say, superpowers are making me want to bite the bullet and get my java gold badge. way more than 10k tools make me want to get another 2k rep
I have to implement class Vase which has different types of flowers. Every type of flower has specified weight.
public class Vase {
int weight=0;

weight+=a.w;

void Remove (Flower a)
{
weight-=a.w;
}

@durron597 yeah, wonder if Jon Skeet noticed his new Power
@Bart oh, lol, never noticed! I let Windows restart itself for updates but assumed it's doing it only at night. I don't work directly on a server so don't really care.
@ShadowWizard Great fun when you forget about it, let your simulation run "for the weekend" and only discover on Monday morning it did not make it past Friday night.
@LaszloPapp admittedly my rep is too low to see deleted stuff, but my instinct is that if a user wants to delete their own question, they should be able to?
I mean, unless someone wrote an answer to it that got upvoted.
