Tavern on the Meta

My money is on a huge conspiracy to cover up the NSA spying on the stackexchange database - the ones with a score of 0 were flagged for further review, I'd wager. /tinfoil — Richard J. Ross III Mar 2 at 23:34

How much bribing would need to be done to change the association of this room to MSE?

Not that it gets much traffic, but >_> <_<

I could change it to stackapps, then you could change it to MSE. That way we would split the work.

Or double it. Depending on perspective.

Why is everything removed?

ProgramFOX

@Frank Because Smokey posted an offensive title, and Uni deleted it.

Frank

@ProgramFOX Ah.

Undo

5:51 PM

it might be a good idea to just make it edit the messages to redact the title, but that would be hard :P

ProgramFOX

@Undo ChatExchange has a method to do that, but why? The title would still be in the edit history.

Undo

oh, true

owners can't purge history

Frank

I, for one, wouldn't be going through and looking at smokeys post histories, because In the case of an edit there, you would expect an offensive title.

Unihedron

Good point. xD

Frank

^^

ProgramFOX

5:55 PM

@Frank Search engines still might look at it. I don't know what they exactly do with the links, but it doesn't look a good idea that an offensive search query could lead to Stack Exchange.

Unihedron

How about having both delete and sanitize?

ProgramFOX

@Unihedron What would be the use of sanitize?

Unihedron

Get rid of the post title?

ProgramFOX

Is deleting not good enough?

Frank

@ProgramFOX Then why is it okay in the Low Quality Posts HQ room?

Unihedron

5:57 PM

Still need a link to drop in and flag I guess, but I think you're right - it's not necessary.

ProgramFOX

@Frank I never said that it's okay there. It actually looks like a good idea to have a delete command there. pokes @Sam

Unihedron

I second this! ^ @Sam (#anotherping)

Sam

Ok, I'll work on a delete command...

Or some form of sanitation command.

Frank

@ProgramFOX Why would it be a problem, if the only messages found with offensive things in them were post histories from bots? That wouldn't look too bad.

ProgramFOX

@Frank Not too bad indeed, but there is not really a good reason to have a sanitize command, so deleting still works better.

Frank

6:02 PM

@ProgramFOX Except for those like me who don't like seeing (removed) very often.

ProgramFOX

@Undo It's a weird mode in which 50% of the messages are hidden.

Frank

@Undo absolutely nothing, for me.

Unihedron

@Undo It kills the unhighlighted messages - no stars, not in a mention chain, programmatically boring, and randomly chosen (mostly the last).

Frank

@SantaClaus Actually, I was wrong with the first answer. The problem wasn't that he wasn't trying to dismiss the matchmaker vc, it was more that he was trying to present the next one on the matchmaker vc that he just dismissed.

Q: Living worried about the future and reaching mindfulness

I'm going through a lot. It's very easy to be lost in thoughts and worries about the near future, and that leads me to a life of unhappiness. I also feel guilty when I fell happy, because I feel I should be worried. For me it's very hard to accept the idea that the universe is impermanent and he...
