Tavern on the Meta

12:41 AM

So I burned through my 20 reviews already. Only 5/20 looked good enough to deserve a homepage spot. Am I being too harsh?

The Guy with The Elf Hat

@Mysticial Probably not.

1:00 AM

@Mysticial Perfect balance. From now on, you are the person in charge of filtering all incoming SO questions.

Mysticial

@Raff Can't. I merely skipped all the ones in the tags that I know nothing about. I imagine if I actually had to go through the PHP ones, it'd probably be more like 1/20 or 0/20. :P

Braiam

we accept camera calibration questions?

user259867

That's also perfect. You just need an increase from 20 to 8000 daily reviews.

Braiam

debunk pls stackoverflow.com/questions/27284506

oh the irony

Lynn Crumbling

1:23 AM

@Braiam That's quite a variety of opinions.

Braiam

@AnnaLear is that queue supposed to take mods actions as bidding?

Anna Lear

no idea

@Shog9? is the new triage queue supposed to treat mod actions are binding or not?

bjb568

LQ stackoverflow.com/q/27283717/2371861

Am I totally misunderstanding the triage rev queue? stackoverflow.com/users/716216/0x7fffffff?tab=activity is saying looks ok!

I never think things look ok.

hichris123

I'm not really sure that we even need this stat. Right now it seems like a number to say "Wow, you're helping a lot of people!" But really, it's only for that individual. Why should any random person from Google care how many people I've helped? Why should anyone? If I'm helping a lot of people, many people probably already know my username and don't need a number to tell them that. And we already have reputation to tell someone if they're generating useful content. — hichris123 1 min ago

Thoughts?

The Guy with The Elf Hat

@hichris123 I agree

user259867

1:40 AM

@hichris123 I classify all proposed improvements to PH as "polishing a turd". Figuring out the best way to place a phony number on a vanity page.

bjb568

crap stackoverflow.com/q/27284739/2371861

hichris123

@Raff eh. I do like some of the changes, as they make it look nicer. But I'm meh on it. I don't really care.

Doorknob 冰

You voted to close as a duplicate and answered the question? That's a -1 from me. — Doorknob 冰 22 secs ago

user259867

@Doorknob冰 On Math.SE, the TFM is to answer, vote to close as off-topic, and then badger the OP to accept the answer.

bjb568

Why are there vote buttons there, but not on the actual review?

And why don't these work?

Not even orange highlighted.

Doorknob 冰

1:50 AM

Woah woah what's this Triage thingy now?

bjb568

You just noticed?

Braiam

@Doorknob冰 the new shinny cool review queue

Doorknob 冰

It's kind of chaos over on Puzzling.SE; I barely have enough energy to talk in the Tavern in the first place

bjb568

puzzling.stackexchange.com/review/suggested-edits/4765

Doorknob 冰

@bjb568 Fine but that's the least of our problems

bjb568

1:56 AM

\o/

The more rep I get, the more nuking I can do!

Feels so good to downvote crap there.

Doorknob 冰

So basically 90% of posts?

Anna Lear

If you're only submitting suggested edits just so you can downvote posts.... you're doing Stack Exchange wrong.

bjb568

@Doorknob冰 That's a pretty conservative estimate.

@AnnaLear I could downvote before that edit…

Anna Lear

Just throwing that out there.

Doorknob 冰

@AnnaLear Wait, is the advice for new users not "a good way to earn rep in order to upvote is to suggest helpful edits"?

(Not that I'm disagreeing, just that I've seen that mentioned on meta.)

Anna Lear

2:02 AM

@Doorknob冰 No idea. I mean, it's kinda reasonable, but the core of my take on the whole thing is "if you intend to be a member of this community and participate beyond voting, suggested edits are a good way to get ahead faster". If all you're doing is grinding rep to be able to vote, it's weird. In that scenario, I view "I only do this so I can downvote" to be more toxic than "I only do this to upvote this good answer", for example.

Just to be clear, I'm not saying this is how @bjb568 is treating this.

Throwing random opinions into the chat stream here.

But, let's just say that there's a reason downvoting requires 125 rep vs 15 to upvote :)

The association bonus sure throws a wrench into things here.

bjb568

Isn't the assoc bonus the reason it's 125 not 100?

Anna Lear

I think the privilege levels predate the assoc bonus.

Shog9

correct

bjb568

Huh.

Shog9

although of course 100 is just as arbitrary a number for an association bonus

bjb568

2:08 AM

100 at least has some 2s.

Anna Lear

Arbitrary numbers are fun!

bjb568

125 is just 5s.

5s are awful.

It should be 100<sub>dozenal</sub>

Shog9

@AnnaLear "Unsalvageable" actions are binding. Well, spam/offensive and close.

The rest aren't, currently. They might need to be, if we start turning this on for sites without reviewers. But... That doesn't make a whole lot of sense right now.

Anna Lear

The primary focus here is enabling upvoting to float good content to the top, not to take up a mission to strike down what someone might think is wrong on a site they don't otherwise participate on.

bjb568

@Shog9 For all users?

Shog9

2:09 AM

@bjb568 what.

Mysticial

My comment here brings up something:

"Poorly researched" isn't a valid close reason anymore. But you definitely don't want them on the home page if they aren't useful to anyone. So by process of elimination, I'd say "needs improvement". Though I predict a high # of questions bouncing back and forth between triage/needs improvement <-> help-improvement queue/VLQ flag. — Mysticial 1 min ago

bjb568

@Shog9 Ok, just for mods. Edit actions are binding for everyone, for eg.

Mysticial

What happens if a question ends up bouncing back and fourth?

Never good enough to land on the homepage. But not egregious enough to delete?

Shog9

@bjb568 no edits in Triage

bjb568

@Shog9 I meant in other queues.

Shog9

2:10 AM

@Mysticial we sing a ribald pirate tune

@bjb568 right

Anna Lear

@Shog9 There's a "close" option? :)

bjb568

^^ Since you're (plural, ambiguous) here, what's with the dysfunctional vote buttons?

Shog9

2:12 AM

@AnnaLear damn straight

Anna Lear

@bjb568 should be fixed now

Where? I'm afraid to click buttons because I have a diamond everywhere. :P

Shog9

@bjb568 tl;dr: I did a shitty job of testing this

@AnnaLear Unsalvageable->closed for another reason->pick yer poison

Anna Lear

Ahh, gotcha.

bjb568

@Shog9 wat

I can't test anything since I did my 20 (40) already. Ugh.

Shog9

if you're talking about something else, you'll need to clarify

bjb568

2:14 AM

The vote buttons do nothing.

And don't appear when you're reviewing, only when you already reviewed and go back.

Braiam

why are the vote buttons shown if you can't (?) vote

Anna Lear

@bjb568 Oh, yeah. Huh.

bjb568

^^^ Also this happens about 0.01% of the time

Anna Lear

@Braiam because we hate you and want you to be forever confused.

Or it's just a bug.

Braiam

@AnnaLear *sadpanda*

Anna Lear

2:16 AM

but yeah, report on meta please, if you haven't already.

bjb568

Shog9

@bjb568 ok, yeah - see my previous comment

bjb568

I noticed. U iz bad at testz

Shog9

I picked a bad day to give up moonshine

Q: Voting is borked in triage review queue

The vote buttons don't do anything in the triage review queue. They also only appear when you've already reviewed the item and gone back, which seems strange.

Shog9

2:20 AM

@bjb568 way to rob me of a Taxonomist, man

@Mysticial seriously though, that's that ok - it's to be expected that some things will never be great but also not so bad that it's worth wasting folks' time deleting them. Think... A whole bunch of the stuff we used to close with Too Localized.

Mysticial

@Shog9 I get the feeling that a "sizable portion" of the stuff could end up that way. Stuff that I don't even want to look at, but I can't find a valid reason to nuke it from orbit. I guess if they get stuck in the queues too long, they'll get auto-deleted.

Shog9

That's kinda the idea...

Mysticial

Is that the intended effect?

Shog9

too many of our systems still tie up resources moderating sand instead of finding pearls. This puts an unbelievable amount of strain on even a site the size of Stack Overflow; on smaller sites like Super User, Math or Ask Ubuntu it can be positively crippling, siphoning away the time and energy of people who could be sharing their expertise with others.

I mean, I don't want to say that hand-feeding the Roomba has driven folks like @Raff completely mad.

But, that's probably only because they were borderline to begin with.

bjb568

Why aren't questions considered meh before passing thru the system? I think questions should be in a "deleted" state at birth and only after going thru the review queue and getting "undeleted" (looks-good'd) is it published. It should be "hooray!" -> publish, "meh" -> zombie meh land where people who want to help go (to improve the question but not answer) "crap" -> just remove from queue, don't show to anybody.

I get more helpful VLQ flags then I upvote.

Shog9

2:31 AM

~6 questions/minute is too much to process in a timely manner

so, we need to pre-filter

bjb568

How about just for new users/users with a bad rep?

Shog9

that misses a crapload of questions

bjb568

Then quality algo.

Shog9

although of course we do use that as an input to the prefilter

along with content analysis

and... other things

~~chicken entrails~~ secret things

still, the pre-filter isn't 100% accurate

which is where triage comes into play

bjb568

Yeah, it's great. Just assume a deleted state first.

Shog9

2:33 AM

the idea being, stuff that the system thinks is suspect goes into shadow-land until triaged

IOW, won't show up on the homepage, eventually won't show up on filtered tag pages, etc.

you can search for it, or drink from the firehose if you wish

but we won't rub it in your face

until there's a decision

Mysticial

Shit is finally happening.

Shog9

then comes improvement, and the feedback loop slash pirate dance

hichris123

@Shog9 Whatever happened to the ML stuff that was supposed to tell if questions were crap, gold, or somewhere in between?

Shog9

@hichris123 it's there

running

fuck you chat

right now

hichris123

@Shog9 ... is it doing anything?

Or just testing still?

Shog9

2:35 AM

so apparently chat rate limits don't apply to obscenities directed at chat

5

anyway...

@hichris123 it's feeding Triage

Doorknob 冰

rofl

hichris123

Oh nice.

cv-plz-migrate-to-meta stackoverflow.com/questions/27285291/…

@Shog9 Thought I had: is our Triage feedback feeding the ML algorithms too?

Shog9

@hichris123 not... yet

that'll be sort of disconnected for a while

next step is to wire up the feedback loop: get edits to push questions to the front page, and VLQ to push questions into Triage

hichris123

Until things stabilize/people understand what it is?

Shog9

until we know if it works

I mean... This is kind of a gamble

Don't tell anyone, but we're kinda listening to Won't and Your Common Sense here.

That's madness!

bjb568

2:40 AM

Next thing. CVs, DVs, DelVs, and ML and whatever non-living eval should all factor into a combined quality that would decide when things are closed/deleted.

hichris123

@Shog9 That's kind of your job, am I right? Test random stuff, see what sticks & what doesn't.

Shog9

pretty much

Mysticial

@hichris123 And to entertain some of us.

hichris123

@Mysticial That too. :)

Shog9

I mean, technically my job is to listen to you folks and then purge somehow. Like that guy from The Green Mile.

Not halp you with ur porblems cuz you said plox.

I've always found data to be more important than the individual.

user259867

^ this. Without SEDE, SE would not be nearly as interesting to play.

Shog9

@hichris123 my thoughts are this: I get happy whenever I see an upvote on an ancient answer I wrote that only applies to poor saps like me who got stuck supporting ancient in-house apps that no one bothered to document using APIs that Microsoft never bothered to document written by people who wish they could forget they ever wrote them. Because I've been here forever and know what that means. But... Not everyone does.

So we have things like the Unsung Hero badge, and... now this.

hichris123

@Shog9 I get your point... but it just feels worthless to everyone but yourself (as in, me looking at my profile, you looking at yours, etc). It's a "feel good" number, not sure if anyone else would care about it.

bjb568

@hichris123 Start being sure. That they won't.

Shog9

@hichris123 doesn't matter to me. Like I said, I already know why I'm here.

hichris123

@bjb568 ... there's always the one thing or person who doesn't fit the rule.

bjb568

@hichris123 That's why "they" is ambiguous! Yay…

Shog9

3:02 AM

I feel like kicking someone.

Who should I kick?

bjb568

nooo

Shog9

Doorknob 冰

@Shog9 ... well played.

user259867

@hichris123 Some might during mod elections. Look, this guy helped so many more people than the others! (Pointing at a user with 0 concern for quality of content other than own posts.)

Shog9

rep trumps everything in elections

hichris123

3:03 AM

@Shog9 But then who else cares that I've helped 20k people? I'm finding it hard to believe that it really matters since, well, who should care about how many people I've helped except for me (intrinsic motivation), you (Stack Exchange as a whole), and possibly an employer (they did something!).

Shog9

@hichris123 mostly you

Tim Stone

@hichris123 Does it matter who else cares?

hichris123

@Shog9 Why this then, over a "You're awesome!" notification, or something similar? It's a number that may or may not be 95% incorrect.

Shog9

in The Heap™ - Consultancy ©® on The Stack Exchange Network Chat, 2 days ago, by Shog9

@swasheck gamification and caring are orthogonal at best: extrinsic vs intrinsic motivation. At worst, gamification actively reduces caring. You don't make someone care more about something by turning it into a game; they just start caring about the game instead.

Tim Stone

(I'm stepping into the conversation fashionably late as usual)

bjb568

3:05 AM

@TimStone You're presenting data to them for some reason.

Tim Stone

On the off chance it gives someone warm fuzzies. Full stop.

hichris123

@TimStone Well, if no one else cares... why show it to anyone but me? I dunno, I'm going off somewhere on this tangent. Just let me think! :P

Shog9

hichris123 argues for less transparency!

bjb568

What if I said I actively don't want people to see how many people I've "helped"?

Tim Stone

3:07 AM

@Shog9 He's just one of Jeff's lackeys! (we're still doing the thing where we miss Evan right?)

bjb568

What if I said there's too much info on a user profile already?

(cuz i did just say it ^, ^^^)

hichris123

@Shog9 I'm arguing for everything! And nothing at the same time!

bjb568

@hichris123 Or something in between.

Tim Stone

@hichris123 If they don't care then showing it to them won't hurt them!

hichris123

(honestly, though, I'm bikeshedding. Aren't I?)

Tim Stone

3:08 AM

@bjb568 People would probably shrug in your general direction.

bjb568

@TimStone Depends on how you define hurt…

Tim Stone

I mean, if anything, we should be complaining about the wall of dots. That's still there. C'mon guys.

Shog9

@TimStone if I ever get elected as a mod, I'm posting everyone's Helpfulness Score on Wikilinks! Starting with bjb's!

hichris123

@TimStone True, but not showing it to them won't hurt them either.

bjb568

@TimStone Ah, well. At least I'm not too emotional about it.

@Shog9 :O

Tim Stone

3:09 AM

@hichris123 Right, but since we've just determined there's no benefit in changing it stands to reason we should just stick with the status quo!

Your fault in all of this was not preempting their decision to put that number on the page by way of telepathy.

The Wheel of Blame says this is @Shog9's fault, which kind of brings things full-circle.

Shog9

clearly

and I'd have gotten away with it too, if not for you meddling kids!

Tim Stone

bjb568

user273376

no hurry though

user273376

the HSM deletion countdown only has a few hours to go... so am almost sorted with my sites

ɥʇǝS

Last I heard the email backlog was several hundred emails so..

user273376

ye gods!

user273376

4:15 AM

that's a lot to churn through

ɥʇǝS

indeed

user273376

I'll wait, am in no hurry

user273376

I'll bide my time stirring the disembodied glasses of doom

user259867

Or you could answer some questions on Earth Science...

user273376

just did

Nice! Too bad Markdown does not have anything like a reference list, just ordinary numbered lists.

user273376

indeed, would be nice

user273376

lol, I am close to a "Enlightened" and a couple of "Necomancers" there... I have 16 Revival badges

user273376

so @Raff do you have an interest in Earth Sciences?

cVplZ

@SabreTooth earth is so bleh

user273376

lol

user273376

@cVplZ which planet do you prefer?

user259867

@SabreTooth I don't know anything about it, or about real world in general. I study things that exist only in my imagination.

user259867

Some people call it being a mathematician.

cVplZ

@SabreTooth I don't like to commit to just one planet. Earth is alright for some things, but if I want to party I go to Jupiter.

Jupiter has all the flashy natural disco rings that fit my style

user273376

@cVplZ what about Saturn?

user273376

@Raff gasp! maths rocks!

4:28 AM

@SabreTooth that's where my Grandma goes to have fun

user273376

@cVplZ dare I ask about the next planet in line?

cVplZ

@SabreTooth I'm afraid I said too much already

user273376

@cVplZ lol

user273376

well, I am from plain ol' Mercury myself

my students always try to play it in class... I am thinking, that's it "Building a Faraday cage"

user259867

This could be a question for Academia: how to stop students from playing Minecraft in class?

user273376

4:39 AM

Academia...hisssssssssssss

user259867

Personally, I don't mind. As long as they keep the noise down and don't distract others too much.

user259867

What? I'm not on Academia myself, but it seems reasonable.

user273376

used to be a member there...long story

user273376

but summarised as 'hissssss'

user259867
