@balpha - already reported them, but you may want to know that there is a site that use SE data and copies profiles info too. The profiles seem to include birthday date info - which is hidden on SE. Also the dates seems to be faked out based on the ages of the users - I think they guessed months and days.... or the whole date when an age wasn't available.

Now I've hit the cap, and my /reputation audit and displayed rep differ by 10.

It'll right itself at midnight, but I thought you'd like to know about such events.

The vote undone was from yesterday, so presumably the cap for yesterday is recalculated.

I think that'd generate many FPs.

Also, I don't think there can be more legitimate questions about it, without being spam.

@bummi Are there any keywords that are more specific than "50 shades of gray"?

Arguing about a test question ^

Right now when you wish to Post anything on Stack Exchange Meta or any other Meta site, You click on the "Ask Question" button on the top right of every SE page. For SE Meta I believe the wording is a bit confusing.

When you are posting on any Meta site you aren't always asking a question, you could be reporting a bug or making a proposal like I am. You are not always "asking" on Meta. I think It would make a bit more sense if the wording was something like "Post on Meta" or just simply "Post" or "Post on this Meta".

You could look at it as "asking if a bug report is accurate" or "asking for a new feature"

@KevinBrown The bug one is a bit far-fetched

@JanDvorak Yeah, that one doesn't work as well.

"What punishment will the responsible dev receive?"

@KevinBrown OK. Maybe... But I tend to look at it as a report that there is a bug that needs fixing.

@JanDvorak Very far feched

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

@FamousBlueRaincoat Whilst that's true, the downvotes and rapid close send a message to the OP that he clearly didn't get from the help centre.

unix.stackexchange.com/questions/186668/… I flaged it as offensive but O DEAR!

I guess we will agree to disagree

wow...

@Frank wow what?

@NoviceSEMetaGeek Don't get why you disagree with what Famous said.

@Frank all of that foul language and cussing was VERY offensive.

He edited.

@NoviceSEMetaGeek sure, but it's been edited out now.

Let me dig up reference on when to use that flag

@Novice, Keep in mind you can edit out offensive things from otherwise decent posts yourself. It's better than flagging.

can't find it right now

Anyway: Abusive flags carry pretty substantial penalties designed for people we don't want coming back, ever. If someone's contributing real content, but they're swearing occasionally/often, that's something for a moderator to handle with a message/suspension, not for users to handle with -100 rep penalties and IP blocks.

sorry was being dumb

You said, "I'd say ..."

so I was asking when you were going to say it

@JanDvorak The help centre is at pains to point out that not all opinion-based questions need be off-topic. This looks pretty good to me. I'd upvote it if I had any votes left :(

@HoboSapiens It certainly doesn't make a good audit, does it?

@JanDvorak There I have to agree with you

@JanDvorak Most audits aren't good audits...

@Mooseman The devs would certainly like to disagree

... even more so for suggested edits, but I assume you aren't talking about these

@JanDvorak I'm aware of that. It's the votes on which the logic is based that cause the bad audits. Unless somebody from SE was to actually review the audits manually...

unlikely.

@Bart <redacted> is incredibly more difficult to read than <redacted>

@KevinBrown I've taken standardized tests for the last 9 years and haven't once gotten different passages than everybody else.

I'd much rather have gotten <redacted> than <redacted>.

Absolutely. Those brothers write tricky stuff.

@Doorknob lel

Benjamin was more awesome tho

such a great 'guy'

@Mr.Bultitude Yes, always. (If the edit was yours, of course you won't see it.)

@Doorknob Thanks.

@Bart I might argue that an excerpt from a relatively well-known fairytale is easier and less intimidating than a random excerpt from the middle of a poem originally written more than 1000 years ago.

flat tires are awesome. :/

And @bjb568 You are damn lucky you are taking the paper version. It would have been a nightmare to have to click/scroll through the passages as much as I had to.

Actually, it might have been easier on the computer, but I'm not sure how the computer testing works...
