Maybe one fp is not enough indication, but it may be more than the number of tp's we are getting from there.

@Behaviour Checks out. That's just how I imagined the hat would play out.

How much time does it take for a gold badge to come?

I have cast 588 votes, out of which 50%~ are on questions. If I cast 12 more votes on questions, I should get this gold badge, right?

Frank

@AwalGarg yes, and they don'y have to be question votes.

Awal Garg

in The SO Tavern (Free Snacks) on Stack Overflow Chat, 13 mins ago, by Awal Garg

I did the voting atleast over a minute ago, but no badge until yet :(

Frank

usually a couple hours max for me, but sometimes almost immediately.

I have that one on a couple sites now.

Three I think.

Braiam

20:52

@Sam nah, the message has a typo

I think

Sam

Oh, right. Yeah it does.

(That's also fixed)

Frank

@AwalGarg Oh, I see. You have to have voted on 600 question, not 600 total votes. You have 600 total votes, but they're not all on questions.

Awal Garg

@Frank so... no badge? :(

gunr2171

Oh, you're right Frank, I missed that

Frank

@AwalGarg correct.

gunr2171

20:57

> Voted on 600 questions and 25% or more of total votes are on questions.

Awal Garg

fml

gunr2171

you've voted on 305 questions

Awal Garg

So the only way I can now get a gold badge is to have 15 upvotes on an answer... :(

too bad

Frank

@AwalGarg how soon do you need the badge?

Awal Garg

@Frank I want the hat :P

@AwalGarg Vote 40 votes/day only on questions, for 8 days.

:D

Awal Garg

@Frank hehe

Frank

I'm gonna get my gold hat on GL.

Awal Garg

21:01

getting 15 upvotes on that answer would actually be more easier than that :P

Frank

By asking two more questions and becoming socratic.

@Moo BTW, TPing from the Tavern is redundant. As the TPA command (which is used to get it reposted in here) also combines the actions of the TP command.

gunr2171

ah, i thought it would add to a counter like the other bot does

Sam

It does, but the tpa command already does that.

Why is the "Handegg" hat called that?

To clarify, I did get it ;-)

Doorknob 冰

handegg

Noun: handegg (countable and uncountable, plural handeggs)

(slang, uncountable) A humorous term for the game of American football, or for any other sport called “football” that uses a prolate spheroid instead of a ball and in which the hands may be used, such as Canadian football or rugby.
2002 June 8, "p/g" (username), "Why does Arafat still draw breath?", in alt.music.rush:
2011 February 1, "FileServe FileSonic XXX" (username), "Innocent High - Jynx Maze XXX - 303 MB", worlds_sexiest_women:
2011 February 8, "RVG" (username), "french pride", in fr.soc.politique:

It's a slang term for football.

Braiam

Why people only answer one of my question when I inquire multiple information in comments?!

rant about comments not being effective enough to clarify questions

hichris123

cv-plz stackoverflow.com/questions/7252/…

Shokhet

@Doorknob冰 Ah. Thanks.

What does it have to do with posting an answer with score 7, though?

Doorknob 冰

@Shokhet Because a touchdown in football is worth 7 points

Shokhet

22:52

@Doorknob冰 Right. Knew that.

bummi

@hichris123 I'd like to close vote, let's find the best reason, it won't fit for programmers too

hichris123

@bummi I think it could be a Programmers question if phrased properly. Maybe?

Braiam

are you migrating?

hichris123

@Braiam no, too old.

Braiam

dunno why are you worrying about the ~~toilet-bowl~~ P.SE

hichris123

22:57

Because certain people might yell at me if I got it wrong. :P Like Programmers mods.

Lynn Crumbling

@Braiam Oooooo.. you got the f&l hat. I want one!

user259867

@LynnCrumbling That's the easiest one... two clicks, delete and undelete. (Don't know the minimum required pause between the two.)

Lynn Crumbling

@Behaviour Yeah... it seems counter-productive towards the site to be deleting answers...

Braiam

23:09

the answer I deleted was old, and preventing the question from being roombaed

it wasn't groundbreaking

user259867

@Braiam I delete those habitually (which is why I didn't have one handy for this hat). Ideally, I would not have any answers under closed questions at all. In practice, I have a few under duplicates, and two accepted ones under other kinds of closure.

user259867

feature-request Accepted status should not block self-deletion.

Lynn Crumbling

@Braiam Ok.. I deleted my only negative-score answer (and lost 6 rep in the process), but it felt like the right thing to do.

Braiam

@Behaviour I had only ~20 of those out all ~1k answers I have in SE

none accepted/upvoted, so I just removed them some time ago

The Guy with The Elf Hat

Doe anybody here think the Warm Welcome hat is "in bad taste", or is Emil alone in his opinion?

I find the “warm welcome” in a bad taste. A hat with a communist symbol that looks like it could possibly belong to a border patrol or gulag guard uniform? Shouldn’t such a thing rather be awarded for shooting new users’ posts on sight? Are we going to get hats with Hakenkreuze, too? — Emil Jeřábek 36 mins ago
