@animuson Wow, all I found were reviews and suggestions! That's a lot of socks.

2:40 AM

Is changing the type of quotation marks in code in a suggested edit vandalism?

I don't mean double to single: ‘ to '.

@AstroCB not vandalism but definitely invalid edit or radical change

If you're referring to the review I'm thinking of

@Qantas94Heavy I believe it is since you reviewed it.

It was rejected because the two of us and one of the robos that @bjb568 whipped into shape rejected it.

2:56 AM

And for some more fun: stackoverflow.com/review/suggested-edits/5557377

@Qantas94Heavy That one was so bad that I thought it was an audit...and it got approved anyway.

@Qantas94Heavy That hurts my eyes

This fucking edit has come up so many fucking times its all because of @Jamal, and I approved it every time. Even though it was the same thing. Bug? stackoverflow.com/review/suggested-edits/5557485

I didn't break it!

@Jamal I don't care. I'm mad. Coal for you.

What's the lowest reputation per post of a user you've ever seen? This user has made about 1700 posts and only has 5k reputation.

@SantaClaus stackoverflow.com/review/suggested-edits/5557518

@Qantas94Heavy Lots of badges, though.

@SantaClaus There were periods today where review didn't work (actions would not submit, the page would just reload with the same review)

Remember: Review in the LQRQ! It's important! It makes my flags get approved faster :P

@bjb568: Thank you for reviewing 20 low quality posts today; come back in 20 hours to continue reviewing.

3:27 AM

@Cupcake Again, censorship on the internet is pointless.

@Qantas94Heavy Good.

@bjb568 How many flags do you have?

@Qantas94Heavy 1089 (quickly adding). 997 approved.

@animuson Why was my flag requesting that this be migrated to Code Review declined?

I know that you don't like migrations, but I thought that this was a good case.

@AstroCB: they usually don't like migrating things that don't need it in my experience

@bjb568 Well thats what I'm experiencing

@AstroCB Your point?

@Qantas94Heavy That's why I'm hesitant to ever request a migration, but, again, I thought that this was a good case.

@SantaClaus More noise removal from @Jamal.

3:39 AM

@AstroCB I didn't have any problem with Jamal's edit, but the broken review thing.

@SantaClaus I know: just throwing it out there.

@AstroCB oh okk

animuson

@AstroCB Ask @Jamal if he wants it. I don't know, looks like a decent candidate to me. More decent than most.

@animuson Looks good

@animuson Do mods just see "migration" and auto-decline? (I wouldn't blame them, actually.)

3:41 AM

animuson

@AstroCB Only when it's to Code Review. ;) But we do get a LOT of "please migrate this to code review" flags and it's a drag looking through them.

@animuson I'm sure: I thought this one had a bit of merit, so I tried to edit it to get it through.

@animuson Feel free to ping any of the CR mods if you're unsure yourself.

cv-plz stackoverflow.com/questions/1733212/…

Migration should start with a proposal (by a 3k to any site) then going thru the second stage of the proposed first posts queue. Maybe they should be a "Known Bad" audit for SO->CR :P

Something needs to be done about this tag family:

Q: What are we [hacking]?

If a tag ever needed a cleanup, it's hacking. The tag wiki defines its purpose in a way that makes it (barely) on-topic for Stack Overflow: Activities related to making hardware and software do things they were not originally designed to do. Of the 804 questions with the tag, I have yet to...

3:54 AM

@AstroCB Isn't it 10kers that are supposed to do mass retags? I heard something about retag UI and less rate limiting and something…

@bjb568 If I recall correctly, they can edit tags inline with the post without having to click the edit button.

Well, if you vote up all my answers, I can test that for you :P

A: When to burninate

Before you start doing anything, put a little bit of thought into the request: Does this tag even need to be burninated? There are a lot of burninate-requests here that are... To put it gently... A complete and utter waste of everyone's time. Some folks will seemingly post a request for any ta...

I feel obligated to post this too:

Aaaaaand… onebox falis.

@Shog9 All four of those checklist items are a resounding no. The only one questionable is whether or not it's on-topic. I'd say it's not; it's way too ambiguous and almost a fad or a sensationalist tag used to describe a user as being clever. — Qix Aug 9 at 0:12

@Astro Sure it should be burned, but read how shog says to burn tags.

@hichris123 Good point.

"I don't think it's too much to ask to describe the image you are embedding." Oh you have no idea. — BoltClock ♦ 4 mins ago

@AstroCB I really don't.

cv-plz-dup meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/268979/notification-alert-bug

> For tags that involve large numbers of questions, just flag the burninate-request and leave a note for the mods that the cleanup is done. They'll pass this along to someone like me, I'll verify that you didn't lie about the sanity-checking and cleanup, click a button, and it'll be like the tag never existed...

Why do we go to the trouble of editing a bunch of posts to burninate tags if Shog can just press a button?

@AstroCB that appears to answer the question though

they all appear to..

just close the question

@iStimple Still VLQ, though.

@iStimple Link-only counts as VLQ.

@AstroCB don't know about that. The question asked for "any sql excercises they'd recommend" .. terrible question, which can really only invite link answers and crap

I have an IP address that belongs to someone's computer. How can I hack his computer using the IP that I have? What are the programs or commands that I should know to do that, or where should I start my search? The computer's operating system is Windows, and this is for a legal matter.

If anyone wants to help, just go here.

Anything that is tagged both hacking and security is off-topic for hacking, so you can strip that tag from the question after a quick skimming-over.

Well, I gtg to bed.

Goodnight!

And some questions have nothing to do with hacking.

If it's off-topic for hacking, it can pretty much be blanketed with security (if it doesn't have that already).
