if (title.match(/booster/i) && title.length < 18) @hichris123?

ProgramFOX

@Braiam That's hard to do using regexes.

Braiam

@ProgramFOX who said it has to be regex only?

Jan Dvorak

@ProgramFOX It's not

ProgramFOX

@JanDvorak Oh?

Jan Dvorak

/^(?=.*booster).{0,18}$/

-1 for your attitude. When you ask for a favor, don't be rude. — Shadow Wizard 1 hour ago

@ShadowWizard Since when did we downvote people for being rude?

Jan Dvorak

@hichris123 since, like, forever?

Braiam

@JanDvorak vote for the post, not people

Jan Dvorak

@Braiam the point of this rule is to prevent serial votes

hichris123

^^

@JanDvorak No.

Here on Stack Exchange, we focus on the content or the behavior, not the person.

Jan Dvorak

6:51 PM

The question isn't stellar either

hichris123

Eh. My point is, we don't downvote just because you're rude.

If that were the case, if Linus asked a question it would be downvoted.

Braiam

I feel dirty... I'm installing Java

Infinite Recursion

When will people stop comparing every rude person on the planet to Linus?

Jan Dvorak

oh. sorry.

Infinite Recursion

np :)

hichris123

@InfiniteRecursion Well, really, we're all rude. We just try to contain that rudeness, and not let it show. Linus is the poster child of not restraining that rudeness, ergo he's become an example for a rude person. It's like using Disney as an example of a movie company; they've just built up a reputation for [x].

Infinite Recursion

@hichris123 I disagree. Everybody isn't rude, restraining themselves.

hichris123

@InfiniteRecursion mm... I'm going to disagree with your disagreeing. :P

lostsock

7:04 PM

@InfiniteRecursion Correct. I have to try hard to be rude, you tiny little pee colored worm eater.

hichris123

@lostsock Is that because you've trained yourself not to be rude? Is that because, subconsciously, you tell yourself not to be rude?

Infinite Recursion

@hichris123 :)

@lostsock quack quack

animuson

PS You guys should be voting to close that question. It's not at all clear what he's talking about.

hichris123

@InfiniteRecursion Okay, rethinking it, not everyone is rude, but people restrain themselves from saying what first comes into their head.

@animuson I'm a lowly 2.5ker here.

Infinite Recursion

@hichris123 Some people feel annoyed in certain situations, others feel amused. The former tend to be rude, the latter tend to be comical. One example is my nemesis Bart, he is of the latter type.

@hichris123 what comes in our head, depends on the life we have lived till now. I may say chocolate, and someone may think energy bar, perceptions differ. Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.

hichris123

7:13 PM

@InfiniteRecursion True, ducks definitely have more chocolate bars than us humans. :)

If someone will post feature request "Give me the option to cancel pending flag now, your system is crap!" I will also do the same, even though I support the request.

@lostsock I think this predates even Shog, back to good old Jeff and Joel :D

Jan Dvorak

@Doorknob why?

Doorknob

> Simply defining what a [tag] is rarely helps those using it unless the tag's name itself is ambiguous. Excerpts should describe why and when a tag should be used.

Braiam

@JanDvorak I have to agree with Doorknob

Jan Dvorak

11:03 PM

should the tag be left empty, then?

hichris123

> Defining what [tag] is does not make for a good wiki excerpt. Excerpts should describe why and when a tag would be used. See bit.ly/hYcNWz

Braiam

I prefer not having tag wiki/excerpt rather than having a useless one

Jan Dvorak

Tag usage guidance isn't the only thing tag wiki is meant for

@hichris123 still better than nothing, isn't it?

Braiam

@hichris123 err, that one is old :(

Doorknob

@hichris123 Wrong ping?

hichris123

11:05 PM

@Doorknob nah.

@Braiam Eh, Robert uses it on beta sites.

@JanDvorak Eh. I'd personally improve it, but...

Jan Dvorak

@hichris123 go ahead ;-)

The tag itself seems useless, though

hichris123

@JanDvorak ... check my repz. :P

Jan Dvorak

huh... where's the meta post introducing that rejection reason?

And wow, I didn't know that was an actual rejection reason now. I've just used it customly.

I believe most language tag wikis lack proper guidance to when to use them ;-)

Braiam

there should be a FAQ post about how to write good tag wiki/excerpts with precise examples

Jan Dvorak

@Braiam why?

Braiam

@JanDvorak is easier to find the specific tags that need a tag wiki/excerpt instead of having to read tons of them just to rewrite them, is just inefficient

Jan Dvorak

11:17 PM

What would you write as a guidance for that specific tag?

"for questions about the dragonfly speech recognition framework for python"?

That doesn't give any more information, does it?

Rejecting one but accepting the other seems like nothing but a formality

(that tag wiki got approved, btw)
