Holy crap I thought it would take longer
 
> But sadly, we saw that was not universal. Programmers often have crappy jobs, and their bosses often poke them with sharp sticks. They are underpaid, and they aren’t learning things, and they are sometimes overqualified, and sometimes underqualified. So we decided we could actually make all the programmers happier if we could move them into better jobs.
 
@Fundamental candles! How to send an invitation to the fire dep for the party

@Undo I was very tempted to check out that answer, but I'll work on it a little more first, I think.
 
@bjb568 ...

@Undo looks so funny oneboxed.
 
1:12 AM
lol, this user doesn't get it.
Lol, @dmcdivitt, I've only been on SE for 3 1/2 years. Anyway, I don't think you're getting it. Just because some questions aren't acceptable doesn't mean that when we deal with these, we are disallowing the asking of questions. We are simply (as a community) maintaining the site standards, which are the reason that SE is debatably the most awesome q/a network around. — J. Musser 9 mins ago
 
@Frank I saw that already. I like your term "answerments"
@dmcdivitt Actually, 'answerments', as I call them, are to be discouraged. If someone has an answer, they can post it. Here's a very thorough guide posted on my main site (Gardening & Landscaping). Perhaps we should have one of those here, so that users like yourself can read it and use comments as constructively as possible. — J. Musser 6 mins ago

^^^ very high quality Meta posts, there.
 
@Shokhet nononono, that's spam D:
 
@Shokhet the comments, questions, or answer? Or all of them?
 
1:19 AM
@Braiam :)
@Frank The G&L stuff you linked to.
 
@Shokhet Oh, yes that is.
Very worth looking through.
 
@Frank I read it. Just logged in to G&L to upvote those ;-)
 
That was back when that guy (Lorem Ipsum) was still a GL pro-tem.
I consider him the best thing that ever happened to GL.
But he's gone now.
 
I've seen Lorem around....maybe on Writers? (I'm not so active there, either)
@Frank That's too bad.
 
@Shokhet You should see some of his stuff on MSE.
Also worth reading.
 
1:23 AM
@Frank I like that you linked to the activity page :P ....I find it a little easier to use
 
@Shokhet He was formerly 'yoda', changed his name when he left GL.
 
@Frank Ah. I'm pretty sure I saw a user by that name, though
 
@Shokhet prolly did.
 
@Frank Nope, I'm thinking of this user. Close, though.
 
@Shokhet Yeah, this guys last activity was a comment on May 2, '14.
 
1:28 AM
@Frank Yeah. Also, the user I linked to does not hold accounts on MSE or G&L :P
 
He was last seen on MSE, at Aug 27 '14 at 16:21 utc
 
Ah.
 
anyway...

@Frank There's a query for that? ....can I see?

@Shokhet Oh yeah... one sec
 
@Frank Thanks!

@Frank, do self accepts count?
 
@Shokhet id, don't know how to read the query xD
@Shokhet quite decent. Your average score is higher than mine.
 
@Frank neither do I ....but it says you wrote it?
 
2:03 AM
@Shokhet yeah.
I forget where I got it.
 
@Frank I don't know if that means anything; different sites have different scales of average.
The top user on SO, for example, has a score that's ~10x greater than the top user on MY
 
@Shokhet I know, we should test out our LH stuff!
 
@Frank Yes, we should :)

Much better than mine.
 
Average LH answer score: 9
(but I have one that's over 50, so I don't know if that means much)
 
3.76315 here.
out of 39 answers.
And then there's LH meta.
 
my total answers: 12 (???)
I might have to get a little more active, there

This user recently went on a rampage in Low Quality Queue, reviewing 84 posts in 25 minutes. Out of 84 reviews, there was 1 Edit, 7 Close, and the rest were Looks Good -- including many posts where all other reviewers recommended deletion. Can some CM look into this?

2:11 AM
@Fundamental wow. Someone wants a badge.
 
@Frank I already closed the tabs with the queries in them. Too lazy to reopen them :P
 
@Shokhet idec
:)
 
@Fundamental @Shog9, I think you should take a look at this. It might be serious.
 
i hate serious things
@Fundamental also, you ignored the ones I deleted.
> 146 Low Quality reviews, avg duration 9.9 seconds. 7 close, 59 delete, 1 edit, 79 looks good
 
user259867
Argh, they don't show up in the review for me, because of <10K. Sorry.
 
2:14 AM
@Shog9 Wat? You hate me 30% of the time?
 
You're much more than just a thing to me, Frank
 
@Shog9 Oh dear, it is serious. Someone really is hunting badges....
 
What can I say, I'm a tree
 
Anyway, I did that to clear out the backlog, as going forward NAA and VLQ flags will be delayed by 1 hour before being shown in the mod flag queue.
Thus (hopefully) giving reviewers time to process them first.
 
user259867
Yes, I was mostly interested in whether this is a sign of some change in the queue.
 
user259867
2:16 AM
So the answer is yes.
 
yeah.
Only live on SO at the moment, will probably roll it out elsewhere eventually.
 
I love serious things.
But sometimes I love other things more. :)
 
I love tomato soup.
 
@Shog9 Perhaps not small betas though.
 
Only have two quarts of juice left from this summer's tomatoes, and I'm eating one tonight.
 
2:19 AM
I just had some for supper.
so a coincidence xD
 
I will be doing likewise shortly
 
I like ice cream better than tomato soup.
I hear if you get sprayed by a skunk you take a bath in tomato soup.
I wonder if that actually works.
 
pretty sure it does not
 
There's nothing about that on Skeptics.se
 
@Frank *Skeptics
 
2:21 AM
Whoops
 
ask there maybe?
 
@Shog9 @Frank It might just be one of those things that people say to do, like drinking from the other side of the cup for hiccups.
(I tried writing @J.Musser for that last message, but autocomplete wouldn't find it.....)
 
@Shokhet So I am an 'it'.
 
Eating sugar while standing on your head works just fine
If your goal is to amuse folks who've become bored by your hiccuping act, I mean
 
@Shog9 True. As does skydiving without a parachute.
 
2:23 AM
@Frank I never said you weren't. That was @Shog9.
 
@Shokhet True.
 
I know someone who actually tried drinking from the other side of the cup for hiccups. That went well :)
 
@Shog9 Perhaps I will. I already know the community there.
 
/me is still waiting for electricity
 
@bjb568 fun.

2:30 AM
The Rural Electrification Act of 1935 provided federal loans for the installation of electrical distribution systems to serve rural areas of the United States. The funding was channeled through cooperative electric power companies, most of which still exist today. These member-owned cooperatives purchased power on a wholesale basis and distributed it using their own network of transmission and distribution lines. The Rural Electrification Act was also an attempt made by FDR's New Deal to deal with the crippling amount of unemployment. == History == At the time the Rural Electrification Act was...
 
@Fundamental really shouldn't have taken more than 16:30, probably trying to act like not robo-modding
 
user259867
This Looks OK link-only thing has exactly the same link as another answer to the question. (Question that should not be on SO to begin with). Maybe delete after all?
 
apparently I was hiding below a rock when this happened
 
@Fundamental ah, now that's a good reason to delete.
 
ok, asked a quick question xD

Q: What should I do if I get sprayed by a skunk?

J. MusserThere are times when I just barely miss getting sprayed by a skunk (there are a lot of them in my area). I haven't actually gotten directly sprayed, but I would like to be ready in case that happens. I hear that taking a bath in tomato soup helps, but don't want to waste all that food if I can he...

I wonder what will come up
 
2:40 AM
@Frank lemon juice
 
@Braiam Really?
 
is it possible that a mod could get suspended from reviewing automatically?
 
user259867
@Fundamental Ah, the question is okay after all (software used primarily for programming). Good thing I'm not reviewing close votes on SO.
 
@Braiam It's a 2 part question.
 
This user is defacing their posts stackoverflow.com/users/1290271/…

@Frank of course... not D:

@Frank no, I haven't drunk from the well
 
lol
 
@bluet Well, I tried. Now he's undoing the rollbacks
 
2:48 AM
already flagged it, mod will probably do couple day "cool down" suspension
 
He's got some suggested edits that need rejecting too
 
don't get confused guys... this is a guy

Within a post of 4400 characters... Restricting offensive filter to posts under 1000 characters would eliminate such things.
 
@Fundamental That doesn't solve the core problem though
 
@bluet Yes.

user259867
@hichris123 which is the lack of ability to tell when an f-bomb is actually offensive?

@bluet Happens occasionally, most folks just serve it like anyone else would.
 
neat
 
if there's something pressing we can manually kill it
 
@Fundamental yeah, that. Also the lack of "well, is this a post offending people or just showing frustration?"
 
doesn't happen too often, i'd just leave it be

Brad LarsonI believe the specific audit you're looking for is this one, but you can't review that because it's deleted. For posterity, this is the post: I think what happened there was that this particular library was posted in multiple places in a short duration, that post was flagged as spam, and then ...
