(Didn't notice him earlier...)
 
"numbers-only title" <-- Smokedetector ignores everything that is not ascii?
 
@JanDvorak you can ask rene for help to close the questions in that tag

Q: Is it OK to edit someone else's question or answer when the choice of accepted answer otherwise contradicts the question?

BoltClockTake a look at this question. It was asked and answered a number of years ago. The gist of it is that the question asks Is it possible to do this in CSS? and the accepted answer says Here is a jQuery solution while a number of other answers say No, it's not possible to do this in ...

 
Ugh; I am contemplating adding a bounty to a question just so I can start closing questions as a dupe of that question.
Sadly the rep I'll spend will go to waste then though :(
 
9:36 AM
New @StackExchange designer @kjbeavers starts today. My immediate reaction: "OMG you look like such a designer" http://t.co/1sWJW0c3OP
 
Ohlookitsa @Unihedro
 
:o
 
I find the absence of a nose on your avatar suspicious
 
@Sumurai8 yay, I've always wanted one of those
 
Ohlookitsa @Bart
The absence of a nose on your avatar is not that suspicious, as you seem to be missing your entire head.
 
9:51 AM
@JanDvorak closed, tavern effect!
 
There should be a "you got Taverned" message box on those close reasons
 
@rene I ... that's ...
 
Bart : yup, you should open new thread with feature-request for this :p
 
9:57 AM
@Bart "This question got closed by 5 drunks from a local tavern. They cannot be held responsible for their actions, as they were drunk."

@Sumurai8 "One of them motivated their actions by "because brown" while the others just blindly mashed buttons in response to cv-pls"
 
@Bart 1 might have been persuaded by a promises of an utopia with many unicorns.
 
@TGMCians I would check if anything needs to go into the wiki and then del-vote ...
 
hmm ok
 
10:06 AM
@TGMCians I don't think you should, and I think you should use delete votes on new content that needs to be deleted instead. This question was on-topic when it was asked, and rightfully closed as it is now off-topic. No need to delete questions with 25 upvotes.
 
They still have some value
 
I see

Is there anyone else here that uses stacksnippets sometimes?

reversal badge in 3...i think
 
user273376
oooh they all went quiet.... such is my power
 
user273376
10:22 AM
the power of the sabre tooth kitten
 
no-one that uses stacksnippets :(
 
user273376
what is stack snippets?
 
I don't post HTML/CSS/JS answers that often, so...
 
user273376
a reversal badge occurs when one gets an answer score of +20 on a question of -5, yes?
 
@SabreTooth yep
 
10:27 AM
@Sumurai8 I only remove those if they are used on c# questions ...
 
@Sumurai8 *correctly
Because Java obviously works in stack snippets.
 
user273376
@ProgramFOX cool, means i am 3 off
 
Meanies! No really, I am sometimes having serious performance issues when editing questions or answers with a snippet. But if no-one uses them here, I can't ask if you are having the same issues.
 
user273376
how is not using stacksnippets being 'mean'?
 
10:43 AM
@SabreTooth In the book "Rules in the Universe of Sumurai8" on page 38, paragraph 3 it clearly states: "People not using stack snippets are to be considered mean. You shall scream 'Meanies!' whenever you encounter 1 or more entities that do not use stack snippets."
 
cv-pls stackoverflow.com/q/3072247/1699210 mine aged out, spam collector
 
user273376
@Sumurai8 i see, what if the person has never heard of stack snippets?
 
@SabreTooth The book is not clear about it. I suppose I can call them "Meanies!" until they use Stack Snippets for everything, including C# and Java. Although, I suppose, I could also direct that person to meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/270944/…
 
@bummi closed
 
user273376
@Sumurai8 i don't use C# either
 
10:52 AM
@SabreTooth I don't either. Stack Snippets only work for html, css, javascript and handdrawn unicorns.
 
user273376
nyeh
 
@rene thx I ruminate about flagging this stackoverflow.com/a/27873766/1699210 as spam
 
user273376
fear me
 
@bummi yeah, I checked the profile and site but couldn't decide...I'll leave it for now
 
@rene I'll add him to my watch list ...
 
11:01 AM
@bummi only 1 such link on stackoverflow, in that answer
his account is also 3 years old
 
@bummi ... so if this was setup to spam that is pretty impressive...
 
It might still be self-promotion, but as of right now I am not worried about it
 
@Sumurai8 I saw a lot of those ... but hesitate like you, with the same thought
we'll see :)
 
@ProgramFOX Sumurai8 fires lasers at question
Well, that looks weird O_o
there, much better
 
11:44 AM
@rene: No one here can tell the OP the exact reason behind the downvote (everyone can only speculate). Neither can anyone accurately guess why it received one cv. I didn't make it a meta discussion, this question was a meta discussion since revision 1: "So why was it downvoted and voted to close?"Infinite Recursion 4 mins ago
 
sure, I edited that post. Oh, and there is nothing wrong with my eyes or reading comprehension so you don't need to bold words for me ...
 
You should have edited it earlier and changed the meaning of the question, instead of assuming that I am trying to make it a meta discussion :)
 
Yeah, I hoped someone else would pick that up...
 
I stopped editing since folks started asking me to explain why I edit everything when I rollback vandalism in a post (without checking revision history)
 
12:03 PM
It is easier to yell at someone you're doing it all wrong then to do the right thing...

@Braiam You get cobblestone!
Wait, it's not minecraft?
 
@Unihedro It's lupus
 
1:06 PM
 
@Unihedro I prefer to stop doing stuff if my actions repeatedly annoy the same user. I believe they can do better than me, so let them do it. I don't volunteer my time on SE to give explanations to users who poke me without verifying the facts first.
 
@InfiniteRecursion Leading by example > justifying what you do
 
@Unihedro Hyperboles can't be justified. I rolled back one vandalism, and I am asked to explain "why do you edit everything."
 
@InfiniteRecursion Because... it's vandalism?
 
I explained the same. Then same user again has problems if I comment on a MSO post today. I prefer they flag me for mod attention if they have a problem with everything I do. It's just annoying when you have to explain your actions because the other user doesn't care to verify the facts before shouting at you.
 
^^ SPAM
@InfiniteRecursion just ignore and move on.
 
FR: Math.SE shouldn't allow 1 rep users to post images at all (cc @Fundamental)
I think that would cut down considerably the amount of crappy quesions
 
Would it be considered hazing if I let the new guy set up the continuous integration?
 
1:31 PM
@Bart I would be more worried about the cleanup afterwards
 
@YiJiang myeah, it's probably going to be me anyway
 
Also, "let" (in finger quotes), or force?
 
I guess the real question is "how can I avoid doing this thing I really don't want to do for a while"
 
"hire a decent teenager for intern to do 'minor' stuff"
 
I have yet to have a great experience with interns. Then again, I never interviewed/hired any. They usually just appeared.
"What is your programming experience?" "I'm a fashion design student" "...." <-- true story
 
1:47 PM
This is how Bart reacts when he sees interns:
> A intern appeared, what to do? Fight, Capture, Run, Bait clicks "Run", clicks "Run", clicks "Run", clicks "Run", clicks "Run", clicks "Run"

A: Closing and suggesting other sites within SE network (not SO)

ok?
there is small audience here.....

@nicael because Bart commited...?

and btw
what does it mean? got no rep...
 
It's a follow, not a commit?

@Unihedro It is a commit. SO in German is in commitment phase now.
 
@Unihedro Can't be follow, it is in the commitment phase

@Moosebot What you can do?
@Moosebot halp.
@Moosebot help.
!!/halp
 
Bots don't like you @nic :D
 
!!/help
 
Smokey doesn't have a help command. Though actually, that might be useful.
 
@InfiniteRecursion cuz they are bots. What can you expect from bots? No love...
 
@nicael Pff. Useless bots. Ban the bots.

@ProgramFOX I'm SmokeDetector, a bot that detects spam and low-quality posts on the network and posts alerts to chat.
 
@InfiniteRecursion 3 if you include the Bayesian testing room, 2 if you don't include that one
 
@SmokeDetector more useful info plz. What can you do?
 
@nicael That's too long for a chat message. Hence, I put a link to the repository with the Readme.

@ProgramFOX Filling the room with bot messages isn't a funny thing :/
 
@InfiniteRecursion True. So if someone really starts running a duplicate instance I'll just use my Smokey-super-powaz to shut it down.
 
@ProgramFOX Thanks

I hope that won't happen though.

Q: Will filtering be allowed for triage?

nicaelJust noticed that the new "Triage" review queue lacks filtering. Will it be allowed?

anyone gives a bounty or I'll have to start myself once a bounty slot is available?
(have 3 active now...)
 
Sam
@ProgramFOX Hopefully not for too long.
 
@nicael I will start bounty. How much?
500?
 
@InfiniteRecursion :D
your decision.
 
500, decided :)
 
3:03 PM
ok
 
Reason? Draw attention or Authoritative reference needed?
 
second, I think.
 
ok
 
2nd option is Canonical answer required. That one?
 
3:06 PM
Second of yours :D
Authoritative reference needed
oh, are you just loling me? It doesn't take long to start a bounty for me :D
Ah, great :D
I see.
Wait, you can't close vote now... Halp?
 
Nooooo halp. I don't need cv.
 
btw I didn't notice that this flag was declined...
 
@nicael I'd almost think you want to get suspended...
 
You have other options, try this:

I need a mod to suspend me

Q: You can only undo a comment vote within the first 60 seconds!

nicaelI am not saying that is bad. But it is the only message which shouts a bit (at least I haven't seen others with exclamation mark in the end, all those warnings end with a dot or don't end with anything at all). Please replace the exclamation mark with a dot.

Q: The picture in the braintree ad is the wrong product

Scott ChamberlainCurrently on the site the following ad is running The product shown is not a Oculus Rift, it is a Samsung GearVR, a similar product also made by Oculus that allows you to use a Samsung GALAXY Note 4 as the screen and CPU to drive the VR experience. If you look closely at the image you can see...

Nice.

A: Which markdown should be used for filename of code

nicaelThis is ok if you write it the way you shown (the filename on one line, then on other lines code following). But if you have something like this: In my viewcontroller.h I have: some code there I personally would like to see it as In my viewcontroller.h I have: some code there

ok I understand that you all don't like to use code markup for non-code, but anyway...

That was about fake SmokeDetectors, not about the real one...

That's what I meant.
What, "the bot" sounds too important to be mine? :(
 
wait
Do you mean "adding it to the blacklist of your (bjb568's) bot"?
 
So it doesn't mimick smokey.
 
user259867
@Braiam They would post links to images elsewhere. Or, copy-paste as text from a pdf. "If Fn is nth Fibonacci number, and polynomials Pn(x) are defined as 987xn−Fnx16+Fn−16, prove that for all n≥0, Pn(x) is divisible by x2−x−1."
 
@bjb568 Ahhh... I thought "the bot blacklist" meant "the list of all bots which are not allowed to chat in the Tavern"
 
4:37 PM
@Fundamental look at the bright side... is text!
 
@ProgramFOX wat
 
@bjb568 It would have been more clear if you would have written "the bot*'s* blacklist".

@Fundamental aww

I suppose it wouldn't be hard for him to get to 200 rep on Russian Language, hence get 101 everywhere. Maybe he does not feel the need to, but being a CM without using SE is probably a disadvantage.
 
6:07 PM
What I call challenges are non-inspiring responses that try to indicate were I'm wrong in some important point and NOT in a helpful sounding way. I have received a lot of this also as user 128932. (A LOT more as user 128932) So I would NEVER try to answer any question except in Math. I ONLY have confidence in my math ability. And I can put up with any discouraging atmosphere ( even if depressing) because I have a 'hope' one of my ideas might help people. — 201044 yesterday
I haven't looked at other sites, but on Mathematics you posted 37 questions and 2 answers, with two accounts combined. Questions that are poorly written and especially poorly titled; answers that lack formatting or purpose. So I'm not surprised there isn't an overflow of thanks for your contributions. — Fundamental 11 mins ago

@InfiniteRecursion Yeah, I was kind of harsh there, but when one writes about making so many contributions, and asks what external appreciation can be expected... this draws attention to what the contributions are.
