Let those who it affects handle it? It's SO/SE's problem. And if there is a personal spat with a specific user, they can take it to the authorities. But it's not the problem of anyone else.
And handing out information such as IPs is a nono. (Not that I see SO/SE do that anyway)
Ya know what would be really awesome: If every time someone here saw spam, and posted it in here with SPAM: <link>, some magic thing goes out to the API and grabs the title and stuff. Then maybe we can do some learning stuff even without that spam dump wev've always wanted.
We're planning to do something similar in the Python room, have a script listen to the websockets and then use machine learning to try and identify spam/cv-pls questions etc.
Then have a bot in the Python room which will automatically say "Recommend VtC on ..." whenever one appears.
Why @ColeJohnson? It's a source of very relevant, accurate and useful information. It has significant value. In fact, some of the comments should be made into answers.
@Unihedron I know, it fails to mention a time interval the ping would work. Yet there are users that told me that there is a "timeout" period - stay out of of chat long enough and ping won't work anymore. @TimPost, you happen to know if this is true? @Shog9?
was it true, I could remember the missing crusader @AlulaErrorpone that he could drop sometime to annoy you with ponies even further to say hi.
but I have the feeling someone from the room there does that since they hate me for who I am, which is really sad, because they are vouching against it but doing it at the same time but hidden
@zigi No. "a published false statement that is damaging to a person's reputation; a written defamation." vs slander's "the action or crime of making a false spoken statement damaging to a person's reputation." Published vs. Spoken
don't project your ideals on other people.. Just because you seem to not give a f*ck about being called [whatever that is], it doesn't mean others are the same.,
I find the number of questions that show up in the tab to be pretty useless.
What would be really useful, is if notifications of comments or badges or rep would indicate in the tab.
Since that is tangentially mentioned in other posts, this post is a request for a Greasemonkey script that woul...
No I am serious, haven't you considered, it is the only way, according to Freud, that the person in that case Unihedorn's ego defends itself by identifying with the website design.
So SO makes money out of the users that are using it, but a lot of rules are still applied. I think it is quite smart how people don't realize that they are paying with their participation :)
How many people are required to validate a flag before a person is suspended. Additionally if a single person invalidates the flag why is it allowed to be only 1?
Yes, but I am wondering because if a chat room protects a guy, although he might be a jackass they can immediately invalidate a flagged rude statement because of nepotism and it might not get to a ♦ who can be more objective
@AvinashRaj No, it's not preventing you from closing continuously. The hammer didn't work on this question because revision 1 didn't contain a tag you had the hammer in. It was added in a later revision. The one you did hammer had the tag in the initial revision.
Update: this is now enabled everywhere!
The rules are:
You can instantly close as a duplicate any question that was originally asked with a tag you have a gold badge for.
You can instantly reopen any question closed as a duplicate that was originally asked with a tag you have a gold badge for....
@Vogel612 I am just wondering because I had the case when I was talking to a friend and compared his qualities to qualities of israeli people, and he was ok with it but I got suspended and muted. Today I flagged a user that they like (although he talks about sex quite a lot) he got suspended because they couldn't invalidate it that fast from the room. And then people made a post on meta to complain. Do you think that is fair since they did the same to me but I didn't complain.
Well actually I did, but got bashed and flagged the bashing but it was invalidated
The last election had quiet a few mods that seemed to be running on the "I hate link-only answers" platform, so I'm thinking this might actually be an evolving subject.
I am didn't do anything for the 2 hours I have been muted (unreasonably for which I haven't argued during that time). No one unmuted me, so I decided to become an active member again. What is the problem I don't see?
@zigi I don't know why you were muted, I don't even think I was awake when it happened. Generally speaking, owners don't over step other owners. you have been troublesome before and people have stuck their necks out for you. Most of the time you are fine, but when problems do arise you don't handle it well (imo) and that is probably most of the cause for the animosity
now, if you want my suggestion - just ignore the current mute, wait it out, come back. and please stop with the multiple accounts. you are fooling no one with Meshuggah
okay, if that is true. the coincidence in when they show up and what they say is going to make most if not all people assume it is a sock puppet account
