@Sam offensive?

@Unihedron let me look but don't start flagging everything please :) cc @InfiniteRecursion
I don't think it's spam at least the one you flagged. I'm looking at the others
@Unihedron not spam.
 
Sam
Am I the only one here struggling to understand what the OP's saying?
 
The one you did flagged I converted to a comment but the rest are reasonable answers with links to documentation
 
3:12 PM
ok
 
@bluefeet What's the policy on disclosing company relations for a comment like that?

^ wut
 
@LynnCrumbling typically if you have a library, product, etc that you "pushing" then disclosure would be necessary. But for those links, I don't see anything that makes it seem the person works for the company or wrote it. I don't see any need for disclosure
 
@bluefeet: My flag shows disputed, instead of declined. Aren't mod handled flags supposed to be to marked as declined instead of disputed?
 
Sam
3:16 PM
^ cv-pls
 
@InfiniteRecursion spam/offensive we can dispute
 
I think it's only spam and offensive flags that can be cleared as disputing.
 
I disputed because I can see why you thought it was spam even though I disagreed with it
and I didn't want to punish you with a DECLINE

I can be reasonable sometimes. Even though @InfiniteRecursion thinks I just like to decline flags with no reason
 
Thanks.. now I understood the difference between declined and disputed.
No @bluefeet, I never thought you decline flags without reason.
 
I thought it was @bjb568 who gets the most DECLINED flags, though.
 
Huh?

@bluefeet Sorry - I'll stop bugging you; I know you've got more important things to do :)

@LynnCrumbling but that answer again isn't spam. They pointed to the documentation in their answer.

I initiated the MSO discussion to understand your point of view for declining it @bluefeet. After reading your posts, I find your points valid and respect your approach. I didn't disturb mods with link-only answers after that point of time :)

It must be a family name.
 
@Unihedron They clearly went to the effort to start off their username with "A .. b .. c", then just got tired of going alphabetically and just started jamming keys.
 
No problem @LynnCrumbling, it's always a learning experience. She was kind and didn't decline my flag to punish me.
 
Pff, why are we getting all understanding and kind all of a sudden? Where's the outrage? Where the unjustified anger direct towards moderators? Geez, you guys make me sick.

Their "d" key might have stopped working after the jamming was over.

@TGMCians Hi!
 
@Unihedron Have you had any of the same issues this OP had?
Yes, I guess I'm venting steam, many people didn't get the votes they deserved because it's so hard to get it in. It may not be stackoverflows problem but because I am located in HK things get forced to Chinese.

I never see Andrew Barber around, so for any moderators - a lot of people agree that this post should be locked rather than deleted. 90k views, lots of votes, seems to have helped a lot of people. stackoverflow.com/questions/18414012/…
 
4:12 PM
@m59 "a lot of people" - made a meta thread yet?
 
@m59 Yup, make a Meta Stack Overflow post and let people discuss it.

I wasn't trying to accuse anyone. I only mentioned his name because I felt it would make the most sense to ask him about it, which I can't do.

@Revious Don't.
 
Just flag and walk away. Learn to stop talking.
 
Btw, I remember seeing this stuff from you all the time @Revious ...
 
The fact that you're of different stances doesn't deem the situation to be hostile.

no offense meant, but you seem to be bad at letting things stand...

@jadarnel27 Such is the peril inherent in unleashing a nega-star on the universe...
 
What is this, Marvel science?
 
A downstarred comment could just start a tight, infinite JavaScript loop.
 
A downstar places the downstarred message into the Negative Zone, where it will reside forever until a weak plot device creates a loophole allowing the message to escape.
 
@jadarnel27 Negastars should only be used upon no other recourse. The SE equivalent of crossing the beams.
