@Pops: Could you weight in or check my answer in:

I read on the help page Should I be concerned about reversal statements on my profile? No, not at all. It's only an indication of reputation change. After all, we can't control the actions of other users. It's very rare where we'd run across a user who was committing the voting fraud themse...

It's fun to make fake stuff and then make Siri think it's real

Where is the post that moderators shouldn't act when they don't know the technical accuracies of a concept?

@Braiam shouldn't that be true for all users?

Did you expect that post to be on MSE?

@rene here here

@rene yes, but I want one directed specifically to moderators...

@Braiam Why not? It isn't a moderator's job to judge the accuracy of content, that's for voting to decide. If something is offensive/spam/edit warring/whatever, you don't really need to know a line of C# to understand what action should be taken.

There are some cases, but they're fairly rare IME

7:47 PM

@Undo for VtCing yes, you need to know

That's not really a moderator-specific action.

@Braiam is this it?

@rene nope

@hichris123 maybe post a link only spam answer

xD

@Undo @hichris123 what's the text of the flag reject reason for technical accuracies?

@Braiam flags should not be used to indicate technical inaccuracies, or an altogether wrong answer

8:11 PM

@Undo there isn't one for questions? about evidence?

@Braiam It's the same rejection reason for answers & questions.

^

@Braiam There's a "found no evidence to support it" one

@Braiam private

@Undo check again

8:15 PM

11 flags on GL waiting for review. The oldest are three days old. :(

@Braiam Don't post that.

@Frank close flags?

@Braiam Rant-o-meter: high

If you're going to make a post like that, don't say (in similar words) that users & moderators are idiots. That's... not going to go over well.

@Undo where?

@Undo comment.

8:17 PM

@hichris123 I'm not telling them they are idiots, just that the aren't suited to act on them

I don't use close flags on GL, I use votes :P

@Braiam Still ranty.

@hichris123 how would you word it?

because, sadly that's the truth

@Frank huh. You have active mods there, not sure why they wouldn't be handled. Although I can't say I haven't run across some... 'paralyzing' comment flags that I just stare at until someone else handles them.

@Undo :D

8:19 PM

@Braiam I wouldn't.

@Undo then, how do you point out the problem?

You don't.

how would you solve it?

@Undo that's something I can't do

Or you do it respectfully in chat, in less than two sentences.

@Braiam what if you just keep it to the facts? Please reopen this question as it is closed fo the wrong reason

8:19 PM

^

Try to start a conversation, not be the conversation.

@rene it's an ongoing behavior, needs to be addressed

I hate comment clutter. On a small site like GL, I can keep up and keep it clean by flagging. Too bad higher rep users can't delete-vote on comments.

@Undo that won't work

@Undo I've tried several times already

It's worked for me, surely it can work for other people

8:20 PM

@Braiam How do you know that it's because they don't know what they're doing? What if it's just because they flat out have a different opinion on things then you do?

@hichris123 "different opinion on things then you do?" no, they are flatly doing something wrong, someone needs to correct them

@Braiam Then ask a question, I see this being closed for reason X, I believe that is incorrect, am I alone in this? I have some more examples, here, here and here.

... or maybe you're looking at it wrong

it's not a matter of opinions, is just technically accuracy

@Braiam Just because you have a different opinion then someone else doesn't mean they're wrong.

@Braiam No, it's inherently subjective to close a question.

8:22 PM

@hichris123 again I'm not using "opinions"

but my expertise on a topic

which, last time I checked, was highly valued on SE

@Braiam Sure, but it won't work if you just tell someone "You're wrong."

@hichris123 ok, lets put it this way

They're right in their eyes. Otherwise, they wouldn't have done it.

you are wrong, but you don't know you are wrong, who has the responsibility to tell you, that you are wrong and this is the correct thing to do?

that's not the thing to go around telling people

8:24 PM

sadly, it needs to be done

@Braiam You start a discussion. If you want to change something, discuss it. Don't say, you're wrong, say I disagree with this, is there something I'm not considering?

@hichris123 again, is not a discussion, in discussions are opinions, here I'm only taking "facts"

I'm not wrong, not because I say so, but because I demonstrated I'm right with sound theories, facts, etc.

is the so called "expert knowledge" which I'm gladly to teach, in fact, I taught Avinash about it

TIL you're not supposed to eat fudge in quantities in excess of 1/3 pound per day…

@bjb568 crap, I'm dead since 3 years ago...

8:58 PM

@bjb568 rubbish. I've eaten far more.

It's great when a new user finds chat and asks lots of questions about the site.

Like this GL user: gardening.stackexchange.com/users/7360/lone-wolf

@Frank supposed

@bjb568 Rubbish, I can bench-press nearly 400 lbs, and have a 32" waist. How I eat seems to work quite well.

9:13 PM

Trees can bench-press?

@bjb568 where did you hear that?

@Braiam Some nutrition guidelines…

@bjb568 pic or never happened

runs to bathroom

I don't think you want a pic…

@bjb568 Oh... shut up. :)

> The reason behind Rite Aid's and CVS's moves to disable unofficial Apple Pay support in their stores is presumably related to their participation in Merchant Customer Exchange (MCX), a retailer group developing its own mobile payments system known as CurrentC.

@hichris123 Yeah. Seems a few people are trying to boycott…

Idiots making people use inexistent crapware.

9:45 PM

@bjb568 Makes sense; if you're developing a competing product, there's no sense in allowing your competitor's product to be used.

Also, what a long MR thread.

@hichris123 Obviously CVS should be a bank.
