@Behaviour I don't believe anyone knows how many views we're getting. There was some discussion about this over in the blog chatroom back at the beginning of the endeavor, but nothing ever came of it. We have a stats page, but no one seems to have "sufficient permissions" to access the page.

It's been discussed to include a tracking image from a 3rd party somewhere on the site theme and bypass the SE stats tracking, but that didn't get developed fully.

bjb568

@Shog probably has sufficient permissions

user259867

I think Grace Note deals with the blogs for the most part. S/he's not often in chat, though.

anorton

Grace Note was the most involved SE employee when we were setting up the blog. One of the things they mentioned was that SE was putting blogs on hold for the most part, so if something not absolutely necessary was broken it probably wouldn't be fixed.

2:46 AM

a CMS is one of those things you're sure you can write yourself in an afternoon if you ever need it, until you need it and find yourself wasting way too much time supporting your little hack-job. So you look for something that can replace it where someone else is doing some of the heavy lifting...

hichris123

@bjb568 ... you seem to have a lot of opinions, but you never back it up.

Shogging through the snow

And you fork it, or start from scratch & release the results, and get a few other frustrated users signed on, and y'all spend weeks building this thing into something less insane than the one you started with, and now you're doing the heavy lifting for a bunch of other suckers who got tired of their own hack jobs and...

@bjb568 ... and that makes a site horrible? Stack Exchange isn't responsive. Yet you use it.

user259867

Why?

Shogging through the snow

3:56 AM

@InfiniteSnowflakes so the way this works is, there's a log of every attempt to post where a blacklist entry is triggered - even if the entry doesn't block posting. Each contains the input, the expression matched, the user, and a timestamp.

To get the outcome, I need to try and correlate that with an actual post made by the same user.

If I can't find the user, then that's not going to happen

bjb568

[[file:Conolampas diomedeae MHNT.jpg|thumb|Test of ''Conolampas diomedeae'']]

The '''test''' is the [[Seashell|shell]] of [[sea urchin]]s and microorganisms such as [[radiolarian]]s, testate [[foraminiferan]]s and [[testate amoebae]].

In [[ascidian]]s the test is composed largely of [[cellulose]] (historically termed "tunicine"). From 1845 (when this was discovered by [[Carl_Schmidt_(chemist)|Schmidt]]) until 1958 (when cellulose fibres were found in mammalian connective tissue), ascidians were believed to be the only animals that synthesised cellulose.<ref>Endean, [jcs.biologists.…

not human intelligible

Shogging through the snow

So "user not found" means either the user gave up and never posted (hit the other quality checks, etc.) or was deleted (quite possible for man of these)

"deleted" just means I found a likely post, and it was deleted.

bjb568

Infinite Snowflakes

4:03 AM

Soft deletion of so many spam accounts per day will be a waste of space

user259867

@bjb568 Users wishing to be removed have the right to have their information (at least OpenId and email) actually wiped out, not just hidden. Or so they think. Or so I think they think.

bjb568

@Behaviour Fine, those can be overridden.

Shogging through the snow

You're not quite getting it, @bjb. It's not like there's logic all over the place asking user objects if they're deleted or not, and we just need to add a flag somewhere instead of hard-deleting the info. The assumption is that if you can get info on a user, then that user isn't deleted.

So, let's say we add this flag. Users.Exists=0|1

hichris123

@bjb @Behaviour Wikipedia has a visual editor. It's in beta though.

bjb568

Oh, alright.

If you have a large and complex system, it may be a waste of time to screw with it.

Shogging through the snow

It's not like SO runs on some heavy-weight ORM; most of it is raw SQL and Dapper. It's pretty optimized. So you make some change that requires changing how you query for stuff, it tends to touch a lot of places.

Remember, I'm not a dev - I'm not really qualified to talk specifics here. But if you've seen the public schema you gotta at least have a rough idea of what's involved here.

That's not to say soft-deleting users isn't ever gonna happen, or isn't ever gonna be worth trying...

but it's not trivial.

And if we did try it, then we get into all those messy legal & ethical headaches alluded to a few pages back

How's this about page?

(besides awful, as it probably is)

user259867

On most screens, two columns will not fit. How does it reflow?
The black-white contrast hits the eyes. Consider softening the black.
The line height is too small.

Responsive!

@Behaviour The black is supposed to be black! Buy a crappier screen :P

Fixing line height…

user259867

"fixing language... issues" is too informal. "correcting".
"Users who break ... are corrected" is kind of threatening. How about "The rules of behavio**u**r are enforced by the community".
Do they need 50 rep to comment on answers to their questions?

That orange sure is compressed (by imgur)

user259867

Well. Picking colours is not really my thing. Run a spellchecker on this: "privileges" and "receive" are misspelled.

bjb568

ugh

I'd have it on by default if it wouldn't screw with my code.

WTH spellcheck insists internet is capitalized.

I think sublime implemented a custom one. OS X isn't that stupid.

Meh, too much blank space.

I actually think the layout works. But orange-for-emphasis does not.

user259867

Those words feel toned down instead of emphasized.

Maybe increase their font weight?

bjb568

Meh meh meh. I guess we have different design tastes.

user259867

I also hover over words like "meta", "editing", "noise" thinking they're links.

bjb568

They will be :P

I need to create a help center.

It's yet to be seen which article is correct. While SO exists, it's "a repository". After DD overtakes it in popularity, driving SE out of business, it will become "the repository".

Infinite Snowflakes

Chances are bleak, because SE has Shog and DD has bjb.

user259867

Never underestimate the power of responsive design and CSS transitions!

Infinite Snowflakes

I never underestimate the power of inverse colour schemes and language trolling.

@Braiam If the Drupal room agrees, we can.

ProgramFOX

@Braiam Oh, we can. We already post spam in the room of EL&U and Ask Ubuntu.

... or do you mean that you want to choose a message in the Tavern to post in room X?

Braiam

@ProgramFOX only ELU and AU spam or site wide?

Are there really no mods in their room?

aha, I found one

but looking at the room activity it's probably pointless to post spam alerts there

Jan Dvorak

inb4 it gets autofrozen with all the mods stuck in the ice

ProgramFOX

@JanDvorak What I'm wondering: do main rooms for a site get frozen? The room for Home Automation, which was closed in private beta, was still not frozen after a month.

... and is still not frozen after 43 days.
