spam stackoverflow.com/questions/24319589/…

pretty much every post can be burnt into that thread anyway.

i mean email-notification.

plz help. I don't want to miss any question which arrives under particular tag.

you can subscribe.

you mean this stackexchange.com/filters/107704/my-filter

but it shows for every 15 mins.

I think it would send the notification for every 15 mins. It won't help. I want immediate notification.

if you want immediate notification, just follow the tag nonstop and do not sleep.

lol. I don't want to sit before a computer for nonstop. If i get the notification on my mobile. I willl catch that type of questions immediately.

@Final Could you explain to me how this doesn't answer the question?

It 100% answers the question. Not saying it's correct or not, it's not my field. But even if it's dead wrong it's not your job, or any of our jobs, to try to get it deleted.

I am surprised that you start arguing out of your area, though.

and giving an upvote is especially strange when you cannot verify whether it is good

upvote is for correct and useful answers.

SE is my area. We don't delete answers if they aren't a complete non-answer

Really, stop doing this.

Sorry, I cannot take you seriously: Not saying it's correct or not, it's not my field

and you give an upvote for it because of a comment, sigh.

the complete misuse of votes.

and yes, that is a crappy answer, flagging it.

Even more, the whole question is duplicate, so flagged it. Thanks for bringing the attention to the thread.

in addition, the answer is tad wrong, but that is just a side effect. It is a crap answer, and people use comments for such posts. There is nothing new. Start arguing with the experts about that who mostly disagree with you if you want to shoot yourself in the foot.

@FinalContest How so? It doesn't provide everything, in which case you could downvote. But it shouldn't be a comment; it provides a potential solution to the problem.

My voting is none of your business. Anyway, I'm not going to argue with you, it's a complete waste of my time. You've been warned to change your reviewing habits, if this continues it could very well mean more serious consequences.

You are ignored, thanks, bye.

females excluded again :p

@Cupcake: do not worry, it was just a real threat from an admittedly ignorant person in the area, with whom 5 people disagreed in the comment, towards an "expert". There were worse things in the history.

why a comment got removed that asked for more details and got 4 upvotes is beyond my league, but sounds like something that should be reported to meta.

[ SmokeDetector ] All-caps title: KINDS OF SIMILES USED IN LITERATURE on english.stackexchange.com

@FinalContest comments with the phrase "what have you tried" use to be auto-deleted on one flag, just like comments containing the swear word 'f***'. If there is a comment "what have you tried" to a question that already has an accepted answer and the question is more than a year old.. good chances the comment is obsolete since that user won't be coming by to edit his post any time ever.

@VotetoClose: you have not checked the actual context, have you?

that comment got 4 upvotes from the community within a short period of time, and it is completely valid a comment. I do not think the person who removed it was doing constructive things in there for that one.

@FinalContest I don't have 10k so I just guessed it included that phrase, but i was wrong

I am not sure what 10K has to do with this.

I can't see deleted comments

nor can a 10K user.

@FinalContest "just" crappy answers should be downvoted, not flagged

@FinalContest because it was turning into a back-and-forth, which is an abuse of the comments system, which aren't supposed to be for long discussions

@BenCollins please see chat.meta.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/2164083#2164083

@AvinashRaj there is no way to get a realtime notification like you're asking for, at least not without writing your own tool to get the data

the feed is your best bet, or just refreshing the tag page

hmm

writing a good answer should take at least a few minutes anyway, if not 15-30

is there any workaround for that like i'm getting immediate notification when a new message arrives, in my android SE app?

[ SmokeDetector ] All-caps title: LINEAR EQUATIONS on math.stackexchange.com

@ManishBot Same as the username. Hah.

@AvinashRaj no. the workaround is for your to write an app to fetch the data. However, the API has a throttle, so even if you do it yourself it won't be realtime. There just isn't a way.

@chmod711telkitty ToS requires users to be 13 years old

ah, nm

lol. that question is going to get closed in < 5 min, I bet

@chmod711telkitty ah, it's a trick question: GCM notifications are generated from SO notifications :-)

they generally are very close to one another, as in seconds

@BenCollins does it will be implemented in future?

@AvinashRaj we are experimenting with some approaches to help people find stuff faster. We have one prototype of a pseudo-realtime recommendations page which is heavily influenced by favorite tags, but it's not ready yet and will probably change some before we put it out anywhere

I doubt we'll ever have a true "firehose" tag page, which is really what you're asking for

@chmod711telkitty if he signed up as a 12-yr-old, then it's possible he agreed to the ToS fraudelently, but there's no great way to know

@Cupcake what post? last I checked there should be nothing link-only

long post. he could have summarized more like this:

"if the answer is still valid without the link, then it's a real answer; if the link itself is the only information, then blast it"

so that review question posted earlier - not a good answer cuz it doesn't have any info

delete what...thequestion?

or the anwer?

ok fine ;-)

I can haz close all the things

yerp

yessiree

good for you. we need more active reviewers

@BenCollins: there was no "comment back'n forth" at all.

also, I have never said it is a crappy answer.

I have said that it is not an answer. I do not think you listened carefully to what I wrote.

@BenCollins: I explicitly said it is not an answer, but comment material. I do not know how to put it more clearly not to get misinterpreted.

That was a typo as per all the other posts, I commented on it explicitly several times that it is not an answer.

@FinalContest there was, and I'm not looking for an argument here. I can see it wtih my own eyes. you asked why it was deleted, and I answered. If you don't like why it was deleted, then take it up with @Shog9 or take it up on meta

I really do not understand why my comment is removed, but adding it back.

nah, I will add it back continously until it is explained why an opinion is removed

@FinalContest that's a good way to get banned.

it is not normal, and feels offensive that someone's opinion is removed.

I do not think expressing opinions is "a good way to get banned"

@FinalContest you misunderstand how our network works, then. opinions get removed all the time

@FinalContest maybe I'll ban you

In fact, I am writing to the stackexchange team address now to revoke someone privileges if this does not stop

lol

My answer was objective, not offensive.

it was not spam.

it does not violate any rule.

my opinion was that it is not an answer.

post the link, pls. Let me at least be sure we're talking about the same thing

it got removed, it is not unacceptable based on the site rules that I can read.

"Could you give some detail on how this flag fixes the problem? And why? Think of your answer as something a lot of people will read, not just a one off."

This got removed, why on earth?

it is a completely valid comment, upvoted by the community.

[ SmokeDetector ] All-caps title: HOW TO CONVERT NUMBERS INTO WORDS IN ANDROID on stackoverflow.com

And you want to ban me because I bring it up with good intention?

@FinalContest I want you to slow down for a minute while I read the post

I think you owe an apology for removing that comment from the user.

@FinalContest post the link to the comment/post in question, and then wait a sec

nah, I got tired of it, especially after the banning threat.

you act like that's skin off my nose. I was trying to help you. If you don't want help, then quit carrying on about it.

"I was trying to help you" -> "maybe I'll ban you".

because of bringing up why a valid technical, objective and highly upvoted comment in a short time was removed.

I will only discuss it further once you realize that was an inappropriate comment.

yes, lock the post, too, not to express valid technical opinion that the question should be closed, and the answer is incorrect, LOL.

^ I was responding to this.

that was obviously a semi-joke

but either way, I am writing my unhappiness to the team now.

then so was mine, obviously

I wrote that that is a crappy post, should be a comment, it is even technically invalid, and the quetion should be closed.

and it got removed, so it is clearly a personal action.

and moderation should be objective.

@FinalContest your comment was on an answer, not the question. Are you saying the question should be closed too?

i am saying that is not an answer, and it is technically incorrect.

you removed it. You really do not see the problem?

cv-pls stackoverflow.com/questions/9226513/…

needs one more close vote.

@FinalContest the answer is of course an answer. It is not a good answer and should be downvoted (which it can't be now because of the lock). But it is an answer.

Ah, so I have to think what you think?

@FinalContest of course not

but that's a two-way street

I cannot think it should be a comment, my technical expertise cannot say it is an incorrect answer.

if you think an answer should be a comment, then just flag it instead of leaving a highly-unconstructive comment

you encourage me not to comment, but downvote without a reason, sigh. That is not my cup of tea, but it is not new that SE encourages that behavior.

Yes, it is highly unconstructive to say that it should be a comment and it is technically incorrect because ...

LOL

you need to take a breath. I never said not to comment. I said that the comment you left was unconstructive and rightly removed. If you want to leave a constructive comment (i.e., "this is an incorrect answer because XYZABC"), then that would be welcome

@FinalContest you are grossly misrepresenting the nature of your comment. If you had only said "this should be a comment, and it is technically incorrect", it wouldn't have been deleted. What you posted was a mini-rant

pfff

"Could you give some detail on how this flag fixes the problem? And why? Think of your answer as something a lot of people will read, not just a one off. "

this got removed as the first step

do you in all honesty and fairness think you do not own an apology for that?

I do not see any, let me repeat ANY problem with that.

@FinalContest that comment is not deleted

SIGH

right there ^

It was deleted A COUPLE OF TIMES

no, not so. I can see all the history.

let me repeat: do you in all honesty and fairness think you do not own an apology for that?

that comment was never deleted.

please do not lie, I have screnshots.

I will show you that now.

and everyone saw it here who was around for the time when I brought the removal up.

@FinalContest I have no idea what I would need to apologize for. I'm explaining a situation to a frustrated user, who is engaging in behavior that required me to lock a post. Why would I apologize for that?

Let us stop the conversation with you. OK, you were threatening me, that is fine. Lying is not (in the hope that I cannot prove it), and in not any way inline with my values, sorry.

why on earth would I lie about a post that I only became interested in to help you?

I am only in this conversation to help you, and you are behaving abusively. Writing to team@ really is your best option, at this point.

-> imgur.com/yek8iap

web pages can lie. databases don't lie.

@Cupcake: his next step is probably accusing me with photoshop editing or that is how I get it anyways.

actually, my next step is to go to bed.

@Cupcake truth is, I can't explain why that comment didn't appear at that time, but it was never gone.

anyway. 'night.

@Cupcake: that is not the only issue; my comment got removed, too.... oh wait, they will say it was never removed.

All of them, including the one in the screenshot as well as the starting "This is not an answer" automatic comment. They can hardly say anything bad for the content of what they generate.

@BenCollins: well, I take my claim back if you had meant something else with deletion, in which case it was a communication issue. I meant user visible string for end users (which is how the message gets to the OP).

but that was deleted. If you say, it is a bug, this needs to be reported, but I will not do that on meta.

it is bad with bad answers.

It has an answer by yourself ...

yeah, I would like to remove that, too, once it is closed.

even though my answer is IMHO correct, I do not think the OP deserves the help.

Then remove it if you so wish.

I removed it. Such OPs do not deserve help.

not even if I gain reputation with that.

Problem solved.

"For such mental advanced as you"....

@SPArchaeologist what ....

@Bart that's a comment in the post that Final had pointed out (click)

@Bart yep, as @Stijin said. Sorry if it seemed a little out of context without any other explanation.

I guess he thought that was directed at him :)

does qt really cost $215 a month?

but I guess that if you use it to create applications that you never distribute you wouldn't want a commercial license

but if you dont mind giving the source code to your customer, you could still sell it to them without getting a commercial license, just as long as they have the source code too

and there's no warranty! does that mean they can't beat you up if it doesn't work?

but if it's software for all of a companies employees to use, then I think it would require that each employee is able to obtain the source code... so you could just put it on their intranet to satisfy the terms of the license

@Alex Qt 215 a month? Where do you see that?

@Bart qt.digia.com/buy

if you check the linux option it says $215 per month

mobile is cheaper though

and that's per developer

Ah okay, the enterprise solution

they seems to have a perpetual license option though

@Bart On the wiki page it doesn't say there is free license at all for Qt

I somehow assumed it was free...

you have to keep the subscription in order to link with the libraries, so if you have a six month project your paying $1206 per developer on the project

it seems that after the subscription ends you can't link anymore so to do bug fixes and new features you have to activate the subscription

the perpetual license needs to be renewed anually

developing commercial aqplications with qt sounds like an expensive undertaking

Afaik you don't need the enterprise license for commercial applications. Unless something has changed. Surely Laszlo knows more than I do though.

qt-project.org

hmmm.... perhaps the lgpl license allows you to use it in non free programs without giving the source code away

If you just link against it, sure.

Don't modify the library, just link against it, and you're good to go I think. But as always "I am not a lawyer"

@Stijn Ah okay. I missed that in the huge p*ssing contest that seems to be going on in that question.

cv-pls stackoverflow.com/questions/24575493/vc-missing-before-return

I guess you know more than I do

IMHO, Qt sucks ;)

"Don't modify the library, just link against it, and you're good to go I think" -> s/link against it/dynamically link against it/ but other than that, that is my understanding, too. And IANAL, either.

Also, some would argue that there is some difference between commercial and proprietary.

@SPArchaeologist: did not even notice.

@FinalContest seems the flag had effect - it is gone as it deserved.

"Qt sux" was a joke btw.

just notice I have an active flag from two days ago. They must still be searching for clues.

strange

@SPArchaeologist 2 days is not that long; I have some active flags from some months ago.

@ProgramFOX Depends on what flag type you chose, as well as what post type you flagged.. I have comment flags from like 4 months ago still open

Those flags are mostly question flags for me.

> Aug 2 '13 at 13:32 active

that's my oldest active flag

@Stijn: on question?

those are dismissed as far as I know into the close vote queue.

@FinalContest yes, dupe flag from when I was <3k

yes, exactly, that is expected

I have even an older ;)

the dup flags were merged into the long cv queue.

@Stijn: but they are not lost. I had six or so of those, and now have less, so they might be processed in this life.

Yeah, every so often the number goes down by 1

heh, another unexplained downvote for the most upvoted answer of mine. :)

Usually the easiest targets

well, yes, after some explained downvotes I take, it is not unusual to get those unexplained downvotes for the highest/lowest scored answers.

(and the newest answers)

I just got two downvotes on old questions... I'm assuming they came from someone here , you are all potential suspects starting NOW

oh come on, it is not revenge, there is some seconds difference between them!

2 seconds?

I do not know, but anyway, I think the jquery question is good, so I gave a +1.

I have no idea about php though ...

I bet there is more serial/revenge downvoting on holidays, some people just hate holidays :)

It's holiday season?

@3ventic duck or rabbit?

wabbit

well, the catching algorithm is quite boring; it sometimes catches from three, and that is about it as it seems. 2 downvotes simultaneously is always OK.

@FinalContest I always thought people who venture into C++ already know how to program, but I'm beginning to see that's not true at all

@VotetoClose Give me a break. I'm bored.

@Stijn Hah ... Hahaha .... HAHAHAHAHAHA

@Stijn: why would you think that?

@FinalContest I don't know anyone who learns C++ as their first language, or people who would try to use it without good reason. So only people who know what they are doing would use it. I suppose that's a bit naive of me.

But when I see a question like that, I compare it to someone who wants to drive in a Ferrari and doesn't know how to shift gears.

does that make sense?
