@AnnaLear all good, just want to confirm something. After a user review a suggested edit and the edit is still in the queue, that user can't edit the post. Right?
@bjb568 I have a diamond, I'm not a community moderator. :) SO mods deal with robo reviewers a lot more than I do, so I trust them to handle it better than I would. Plus I'm in the middle of something right now.
@bjb568 it's the easy way out. I would personally skip those as I can't tell how important is the name change, but if it's correct then most people would just approve and be done with.
@bjb568 and again we disagree. Feel free to flag and a mod will decide what to do. (but he'll have lots of users to ban from reviewing if he'll share your opinion)
@AnnaLear Possible. I went to the question, clicked revisions and clicked to edit the last rev. I didn't know what will be; I thought that it will be the same result as if I choose improve edit and that edit will be approved.
@3ventic if you control the log file creation, set a soft limit e.g. when it reach 100 MB copy existing file to some archive and start a new file. That's what I usually do.
So I approved an edit. Then I went to the questuon and edited it. Suggested edit got rejected.
I think that edit should be autoapproved when I submit an edit to the post I already approved an edit on.
Or just don't allow to edit if you already reviewed an edit and it stills need someone's rev...
I ran a process that was writing stderr log messages to a file and didn't realize how fast the log file would grow. The result is that the log file filled up the entire rest of my hard drive and now when I try to remove the file using rm, the computer freezes. I'm running OS X Mountain Lion and...
Also, this answer was upvoted once and accepted at the same time. It was voted again later, but when you sort rep by time, it shows one upvote, long after the accept.

"I think perhaps you should re-assess what your expectations should be for an 8 year old both in writing quality and in capacity for taking criticism." So you're taking an age and inferring reasonable expectations based on that? Expecting somebody to be "normal" against a pretty arbitrary (and frankly, quite insulting to some) measurement like age just threatens those who desire more - and everybody should. The goal isn't to meet expectations, the goal is to be improved. It isn't impossible to teach an 8-year-old to take criticism well, and not trying to can slow down their mental growth. — bjb5684 mins ago
Especially from the description of a good writer, this girl may very well have an above-average (against age) capability of learning which should not be stunted by neglecting learning above-average (against age) concepts and material. After all, if you aren't above average in some subjects, you'll be below average overall. — bjb56810 secs ago
Daughter is reluctant to participate in proposed family meeting. What kinds of objections do you anticipate she has?
my speculations precisely
This comment added nothing of value, it should have been an upvote. Why was my "too chatty" comment flag declined?
Dad: "You can't possibly get 4 pages of research notes! That's just absurd!" Me: "Well, the teacher requires that much and I do need that much material to write an essay longer than 3 sentences. But the crappy required resources on the school library website don't really say anywhere need enough." Teacher: "That's not enough research notes, you won't have enough to write your essay.". Got a 8/20 (F) for that.
I wasn't the one who declined the flag, but I probably would have. This site has a lot chattier atmosphere than other StackExchange sites. We tend to let comments like that slide unless there are a bunch of them on a post. Most of the comments we delete as "not constructive" are insulting or a...
