In the comments, everyone is discussing office plans. Nobody tried to identify the people shown. For example, many familiar faces here, but also a few I can't recognize.

@Fundamental Some of those pictures are old. Also, some might have sales people.

@hichris123 Right, but the one I linked looks like a Community Team meeting.

yeah, seems like it

user259867

Left to right: ?, ?, jaydles, Laura, Robert Cartaino (almost hidden behind her), Shog, Tim Post, Joel, Anna Lear (? not a CM anymore), Abby.

@Fundamental Could one of those be Aarthi?

:D one of those ... yeah, which one of the two on the left?

err... that's the joke right?

user259867

4:34 PM

Ah, of course it's an old picture, from back when the meetup was in NY. This explains Anna Lear's presence. And yes, I think it's Aarthi in red. Then who's on the left of her?

balpha

@Fundamental all correct (with Shog/Joel/Tim from front to back), left two are Sam and Aarthi

In the board room at the back you can see Marc, Demis, Jason, David

(actually you see Jason twice, but one of them is a mirror image)

Wait ... are we now saying users can just create a new account and keep asking questions even when banned?

@Bart No. IIRC they should be rate-limited if they do, so...

@SmokeDetector fp

@Fundamental Registered question as false positive and added title to Bayesian doctype 'good'.

user259867

Smokey was triggered by question body (repeated characters in xxxxxxxxxx.xls, outside of code block), but tp still added title to "good". Not sure if worth fixing.

@Fundamental s/tp/fp/

user259867

5:26 PM

Right, a typo there (luckily not in my answer to SD)

@hichris123 sure, but that still says "go ahead and create a new account", right? If so, what's the point of a ban?

ProgramFOX

@Fundamental If you think the title isn't worth adding, use ignore.

@Bart Well, usually we're talking here about people who have no hope of recovering from their ban. They asked horrible questions which can't be salvaged. Then they can delete their account & create a new one, but that one is limited to 1 q/week. I'm fairly sure the rate limits loosen if you ask better questions, and tighten if you ask worse questions.

Also, the new system of rate-limits should be a ton better now (i.e. you ask a bad question, get rate limited for a day, ask another bad question, get rate limited for two days, so on and so forth)

@Braiam So like… as if you will maintain it yourself?

@bjb568 Because.

@Frank Eh, so a 'no', but not a scolding.. in fact, quite the opposite. "Doing great, keep a steady course."

@Frank congrats to all of you

To review the people, -1 if you have < 200 helpful flags or < 2k rep. -1 if uses No Action Needed or has skewed approve/reject edit ratio. 0 if after that comments look too nice or are crappy. +1 if is friendly, shows devotion to site, reviews not-crappily, and has produced quality answers.

Well, that's what I do mostly, if they have something exceptional, I could bend that criteria.

Code Maverick for example looks ok.
