the guy has the same spam on serverfault, too.

@Cupcake nope

@Cupcake: deleted, but I also cv'd the question.

@Cupcake: there is no single question in that.

it is a rant.

it is unbelievable how much people rant about rudeness.

Just like at the title: "too damn high"

with "rudeness" against "rudeness"? :D :D

but anyway, people waste so much energy for getting their culture accepted as opposed to the other.

I do not understand why they do not focus on objectives.

semi-coincidentally, that high-rep guy close voted an algorithm question because he thinks algorithms are off-topic.

I thought we have an algorithm tag for a reason...

I think it is "too damn rude" :D

it is a pity when canonical duplicates cannot be picked up because there is no selected answer in a thread.

What is the best flag reason for copy/pasting an SO answer instead of flagging the question as duplicate?

NAA or moderator attention?

It is arguably an answer, but I do not think this should be used instead of the duplicate handling system.

Hi, everypony

Hi @SPArchaeologist!

@SPArchaeologist: hello

Morning

Is the today strip from xkcd their own answer to the "Morning/Afternoon/whatever" problem?

The sky has become brighter. Let's greet everyone again.

Morning!

Morning!

Morning!

[ SmokeDetector ] Bad keyword detected: Are popular porn sites more likely to be infected with malware? on security.stackexchange.com

The team suggested to flag my posts for disassociation that I want, and moderators will disassociate me, and all the flags got declined. :(

what's the reject comment?

@ManishBot porn?

@Alex Yep

@Stijn: "Why? It's deleted. Disassociating serves no purpose." -> with two undelete votes, and anyway, it is against the license. I wrote to the team to warn the moderators about it. I understand and appreciate they dislike me because I gave them critics in the past, but this is not about childish revenge, but eventually licensing, and hence legal, issues in my understanding.

I do not trust this moderator team to be objective anymore, I am afraid.

@FinalContest why do you assume malice again?

@Stijn: of course, it is possible that the moderator who has declined the flag has no clue about the license of the posts (how did s/he get elected without such a basic thing?!), but it still requires a warning since this is not a playground area.

(not that SE would be the first trying to break the license out of the big companies, but still)

seems the next person is "Jay Hanlon" to write to if the team does not fix it.

lol

there could be one for "kindergarten", too ...

@chmod711telkitty Those are in support of specific courses afaik. Nothing to worry about.

could be :D

is an answer delete-worthy if it just copies and pastes an existing answer from another thread, i.e. duplicate?

given that the OP self-selected it already, but it has -1 score.

Close as dupe and nuke the answer I guess

ok, well, I will flag it, but I am sure it will be declined by the mods.

Weight loss spam on SO I flagged hours ago if anyone wants to take a look: stackoverflow.com/questions/24604400/…

@PeterJ Nice one. Strange it didn't catch more attention until now. Keep bringing those in.

@JanDvorak, yeah probably because of the single rss tag, presumably someone did an epic fail on a first post review.

@PeterJ Are you willing to dig that review up?

@JanDvorak, I'm under 10k on SO so don't think I can do that?

I think you only need 1.5k to review first posts and late answers

2k to review edits

Yes, but you need 10k to see all reviews.

oh. Strange

Yeah I can only see the recent ones by going through the profile of recent reviewers, which disappears quickly on SO.

I will take a peek at the history

Thanks @PeterJ

And to those who haven't flagged yet

SPAM: stackoverflow.com/questions/24604400/…

Wow I was just looking at other first post reviews from the same guy, you could use about 50% of the no action needed list as a things to VTC.

Noticed a few minutes ago he also put a no action needed on a late answer that was spam, but gone now. On another note here's some recent colon cleanse spam on Drupal: drupal.stackexchange.com/questions

@PeterJ One question, flagged.

SPAM drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/121670/…

@Jan I've been playing around with a little JavaScript websocket based spam / crap detector based on Manishearth's stuff and I know you've done something similar. One thing that intrigues me is why out of the 100+ SE sites some like Drupal gets hit a lot. It seems a pretty middle of road site from most points of view, the trilogy would have higher rankings but they would get deleted quicker, but on some smaller sites it might stick around for hours and get indexed before anyone notices.

Baba mostly focuses on smaller sites

He seems to love ELU for some reason

Yeah noticed that, I'd always thought ELU might be a target just because a spammer doing a search on just about anything might get a hit given questions could be on any aspect of the language. It's been a while since I've seen any of the real mass flooding spam like football streaming TV and whatever the other one was.

A server-side spam filter is in place since then

Today's Listening | EDM / Drum & Bass

Can't stop listening

Nice @GnomeSlice. Thanks.

@FinalContest Email a list of posts to me directly and I'll take care of it.

@TimPost just curious, but I assume the deleted state of a post should have no influence on disassociation, right?

yeah-right... stackoverflow.com/questions/21808415/…

@Bart: I do not see why it would.

@Bart Correct. It's a license thing, you have the right to be disassociated from your contributions. Now, if you want a ton of them disassociated, or you're doing it to get around restrictions, then we'll probably honor your request in the form of account deletion.

(especially with two undelete votes, although that is probably red-herring)

@TimPost: you cannot delete meta accounts without deleting the main account, too, which is unfortunate, based on my last information, but I would be happy to get that deleted, though.

Note to self: not smart to tell Tim he can't do something ;)

@TimPost can you make the spam prevention a bit more paranoid around 0000 and 0600 monday UTC?

there's lot less folks around those hours and the spam takes more time to be dealt with flags

@GnomeSlice mmm... weird, I knew about that track

@Braiam There's no setting for adjusting weights based on time of day, but since I'm always here at that time, I can just clean it out / ban the needful

@Braiam Any particular site where you've seen them sneaking in when they think the cats are sleeping?

@chmod711telkitty I saw that! Probably the most incredibly creepy gait I've ever seen, but quite an accomplishment

@chmod711telkitty I'm not sure if the thing is going in reverse

@TimPost Thanks. Good to know.

@Braiam Huh, neat!

@Bart It's so good

@chmod711telkitty more like this

Yep @GnomeSlice, my feet are tapping.

NSFW I would assume ....

Then again, that probably depends on your profession ...

it always depends on that..

It's clothed, @Bart.

@TimPost: you could disassociate all the posts from me on meta. It is very unlikely that I will participate to it any soon other than comments, perhaps.

@FinalContest Just request account deletion, then - if you want to participate again then you can just create a new account.

NAA: stackoverflow.com/a/24612669/189134

@TimPost so you can delete a meta account leaving the parent account intact?

I think he's referring to the picture, @chmod711

@chmod711telkitty it would be really scary if someone invented one with teeth and claws

@ShadowWizard Not something we really support but yes, it's possible (I think). Anyway, tis a matter for email to solve.

as is the worst it can do it choke you with noxious fumes

@TimPost of course, was just curious about this in general. Mr. Contest's business is his own only.

@TimPost: I already requested that a while ago, but it is not possible to remove the meta account without the main.

An email was also already written, too.

Guys, I've created a Social Networking site.. and I know it was a bad idea.. But, I had the craze to beat fb and something like that.. And now I'm making a fool out of myself for thinking like that. The site is a typical social network and so I now want to make it "programmers" social network. I can easily convert that. The editor is WMD and supports code. Can I do it, and find support from SE?

@chmod711telkitty so if you're here now after you were dead, does it mean you're a zombie? Or in the very least, a Phoenix?

@AmitJoki do what? And how is it related to SE?

@chmod711telkitty nah, ghost is too simple IMO.

@ShadowWizard mate, I've made the website, and it isn't doing well and you know why.. So I thought I would convert the site to "programmers" only, and am expecting to post a community ad of it here, so it works

BTW, the site is 3 - 4 months old and has ~600 users.. who aren't active.. So, I want to make it "programmers" social network..

@AmitJoki not sure that qualifies for a community ad though

@chmod711telkitty wrong. dandwiki.com/wiki/Phoenix_(3.5e_Creature)

Int 14 and Wis 16 are more than the average human.

@Bart I would really need some publicity. Otherwise my parents are reluctant to maintain the site which does as of now does "nothing"

(idea about contacting baba passing my mind... and goes away)

@chmod711telkitty I suppose you are referring me. But since I've made Social Network.., nobody cares about it when twitter and fb is around..

@chmod711telkitty this link may tell you what my site does.. slideshare.net/amitjoki/…

@chmod711telkitty click that link.. Its a presentation of what my site does..

It's a tough market. Even Google couldn't do it with Google+.

Google+ is not dead (yet) but yeah, it won't beat FB

@ShadowWizard was it ever alive? :)

@Stijn yeah! That's exactly why I want to target "programmers". An entire site just for them to be social. By this way, I'm hoping I would get support of SO community..

@Stijn sure, but not thriving. People are using it, but not nearly enough. :)

@AmitJoki utterly wrong assumption. Stack Overflow is as far from being social as a site can be.

the social network (film)

@ShadowWizard I know SO != Social Network.. I'm just hoping SO users to join the site..

@chmod711telkitty you can know everything about it by visiting the homepage nettpals.in

@AmitJoki put it in your profile. Help as many people as you can by posting good answers and/or good questions. Those curious about you will visit your profile and see the link.

@ShadowWizard I've already specified it in my website: field

@AmitJoki have you sold the movie rights yet? any drama during the startup and development?

That's the best you can do, apart of buying ad space from SE

stackexchange.com/mediakit

@Alex what?

@AmitJoki did you do it all alone? was it your idea? where did you get the funding?

@Alex all alone.... No funding... Nothing at all, except my laptop and VS 2013 Ultimate.

And yes. The idea was completely mine.

@AmitJoki well done. that's quite an achievement.

@AmitJoki how long did it take to make?

~1 year @Alex which made me perform a lot worse in my academics :)

oh, that's a shame, but you must have learned quite a lot while creating it

Also, it is BizSpark member...

@Alex yeah Quite a lot..

@chmod711telkitty hehe! you expect a 15 yr old to invest or indulge in trading??

What are you creating @chmod711telkitty?

What is the pricing?

SE teams email anyone?

@AmitJoki stackoverflow.com/contact

@AmitJoki or stackexchange.com/about/contact

@chmod711telkitty That closely resembles the 2 bedroom layout of an investment property we bought. We went with the 3 bedroom version, which is a 1 and 2 bedroom combined (adding a bedroom, bath and expanding the kitchen). Uncanny really.

@chmod711telkitty blender?

Where do you think she got the idea @TimPost. Look outside ...

well, just emailed the SE team, and hoping to get some positive reply..

@chmod711telkitty That's about right. A typical high-rise condo here starts off at 40, then up to 120.

@chmod711telkitty I wish I had 60sqm

ok, well, mods can also do needless too minor edits: stackoverflow.com/posts/15570512/revisions

@FinalContest hmm, are mods exempt from the character limit?

or do I misremember and can everyone with 2k+ make such edits

@Stijn that

@Stijn: the character limit is pretty strange to be honest, but yes, you are right. Sometimes a one-character bugfix is prohibited by the limit. You do not have this over 2K.

@chmod711telkitty I totally want a shipping-container house.

With a Google Fiber pipe running into it.

@chmod711telkitty They can be fun. You learn a lot about space utilization, and keeping clutter / junk creep to an absolute minimum. We were never really what I'd call impulsive about buying stuff, but wondering where we're going to put something is a major factor in our purchasing decisions. I firmly believe that we'd spend more if we had more space, probably needlessly, or at least wastefully.

Our current place is just over 60 square meters. It's ... cozy.

So are you saying that if I blocked off my stairs I would spend less money?

I should try that.

(60 sq meters =~ 645 sq ft, for all you Americans)
