don't waste votes plz
Especially precious del votes.
user259867
^ yes, those. Not to be used on roomba-able questions. And those with 20K should avoid LQRQ until using up delete votes.
maybe there should be a 10 commandments for advanced users? that would contain this useful info
user259867
s/advanced users/meta police/
1. Use all your votes. And don't waste any.
2. Don't use LQRQ until after using votes.
3. QUIT SHARING ON CHAT MY DELETED META POSTS, RLY!
4. You better be responsive with delv reqs.
5. When reviewing answers, consider whether or not the question can be deleted.
6. Don't handle my chat flags badly.
7. YOU ARE ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO LOOK FOR PLAGIARISM IN TAG WIKI EDITS!
8. You're not better. Act like you're not.
9. Screenshot the deleted post on meta.
10. Stop rep whoring.

But 3 helps ur deleted meta posts get undeleted, if roomba takes them.
I'm talking about the ones where deleted comments make things go out of context and everything is skewed in their favor because of gang voting and meta harassment.
Yes, that happens when chat.so rooms are involved.
user259867
Then replace 3 with "ignore chat.so rooms".
undelv'd

Which is a shame because it has one of the more poetic Shog's comments.

Nobody says whom.
Don't be prescriitiveist .
Or whatever
@bjb568 that's not even a real word?
In linguistics, prescription or prescriptivism is the practice of championing one variety or manner of speaking of a language against another. It may imply a view that some forms are incorrect, improper, illogical, lack communicative effect, or are of low aesthetic value. Sometimes it is informed by linguistic purism. These normative practices may address such aspects of language use as spelling, grammar, semantics, pronunciation, and syntax. Linguistic prescriptivism includes judgments on what usages are socially proper and politically correct. Its aims may be to establish a standard language...

I see, I wasn't exactly right re: pinging Undo, the list of priv users is there in Github, so can be modified by any of the contibutors to Smokey source. I somehow imagined it being held in a super-secret directory on Undo's server running Smokey.

The Ubuntu page has a link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Collins_(programmer). But it's just a redirect, @BenCollins
@Behaviour What's with that "history" section on the SO page? O_o

SE modled after SO?
Well, SO came first.
Site creation process: Graduation?
@Doorknob冰 But SO is part of SE, so I wouldn't say that SE was modeled after SO.

Experts Exchange.
I thot it was expertsexchange
Hyphen, for crying out loud! :P
1:16 AM
@Behaviour differen Ben Collins. I'm also a famous race car driver :-)
@bjb568 If I create a hat, and then create an entire fashion line after that hat becomes popular, do we say that I modeled the hat to be in my fashion or that my fashion line was modeled after my hat?
user259867
@bjb568 First came SO. Later came the idea to create SF and SU, which were modeled after SO. Then came the idea to sell the platform as service (SE 1.0). It led to a few decent projects, but for the most part was not a success. After that, Area 51 was created, heralding the era of SE 2.0.

user259867
Yes, the SE Wikipedia page does not meet the quality standards of SE.
@anorton I'd say you created a fashion, of which the hat was the first product.
Hm. Ok, I guess we'd say different things, then...
user259867
@anorton Do you think Mathematics deserves its own Wikipedia page?
Wikipedia generally does a bad job with anything tech related.
No
Like… what's the point of it?
user259867
1:20 AM
So your bot can find it.
I think there should only be Wikipedia pages for Stack Exchange and S[OFU]
Maybe -SF -SU
@Behaviour Of course I think Mathematics deserves a wiki! :)
!comp tell me a joke.
It is the third largest site in the network (sorry SF).
Q: Why did the mathematician name his dog "Cauchy?" A: Because he left a residue at every pole.

@anorton By the number of questions, number of answers, number of questions per day... second to only SO in all these categories. But not as many users or visits per day.
