@Bart I quickly saw the first revision, still wasn't that bad

James

:facepalm: This is why we need deleted comments leaving for >10K

Shadow Wizard

@James downvoting a question just because of bad/rude comments is wrong. I admit doing it myself sometimes, but it's still wrong.

Bart

It started off well enough @ShadowWizard ... the intermediate phase had some issues

tchrist

"Some".

James

@ShadowWizard I agree entirely. That is not how it went down

Shadow Wizard

14:26

@Bart hmm.... think I better skip that phase then :)

rene

Let me find a better dup

Shadow Wizard

@rene yeah, was doing it when pings interrupted :D

Avinash Raj

today i receive more than 6 downvotes but not serially. i'm sure that this downvotes came from a single user. Does the system revert back the downvotes? Is there any punishment for these type of users?

Bart

Oh sure. @rene just wants to close EVERYTHING

Jason C

@ShadowWizard That question should probably go away or that user be given a cooldown suspension anyways. Even if it's an OK question, right now it can attract nothing good. Your reopening of it made sense philosophically but is probably just going to be more fuel on the fire.

Bart

I would have at least waited a day or two before reopening it.

Q: Undetectable MICRO Serial Downvoting. What is it? What to do? What the heck!

Fwiw I voted it up too, it's a fine question in the current state.

Bart

@rene zoals we op z'n Twentsch zeggen: "Bring it on!!"

rene

14:28

@JasonC disagree. I've recently seen a possible troll cooling down all on his own and becoming contributing user on MSE.

@ShadowWizard True. At the time it needed to go away tho. As he was posting many comments full of profanities, asking to be deleted, removed, banned, this site is sh*t etc

I'll bare my arse in Asda freezer aisle if the OP doesn't start editing with profanities again now

Shadow Wizard

@James you talk about the "current" possible troll or the one I was referring to?

DroidDev

@Bart why don't you try to comment "I am gonna downvote every single one of your posts everywhere" on that question. It will be even more fun!

Jason C

Can people be comment-banned? (This isn't snark, it's a real question.)

Bart

@DroidDev I thought about constructively correcting his spelling and mentioning that I'm not Swiss, nor German.

Shadow Wizard

> a good person with a kind heart

Lynn Crumbling

@JonEricson Doubtful :-/

Jon Ericson

@SPArchaeologist I can increase it if needed. I just need to figure out what's going on.

Jason C

Really locking the post and deleting the comments was the biggest help, I think. That post in particular was big time flame bait, he wasn't really doing much elsewhere.

James

15:11

He actively asked to be banned. "Plz ban me from SE – Why_SE_bulling_new_users 3 hours ago" He is quite active on a few sites however. Maybe the 24hour cool off will work.

Lynn Crumbling

I'm waiting to see if he decides to implicate his Anime account.

SPArchaeologist

@JasonC was that done on my old mmorpg server, the result would be "This is the door. Bye."

@SPArchaeologist on a server that big you can do that. But here at SE we need all the users we can get.

@ShadowWizard It doesn't need to be like this if everybody, yes that includes you, would handle them... ;)

Haven't been in any of those queues for quite a while now.

Shadow Wizard

@rene haha, when I'll have some time I'll try to explain my motives for not giving a hand but yeah, you got a point :)

Alexis King

@Shog9 Are we ever going to get a straight answer for how exactly that number is calculated on SO?

My rep just turned 10k. All of a sudden, my review counter jumped from maybe 10 or 20 to 1600, but I didn't see any new review category, and the math is wrong (8k pending close reviews, 54 low quality, nothing else above 10). Where do those 1600 pending reviews come from ? Is there a link I didn...

support

Shadow Wizard

@AlexisKing yeah, it's crazy - I stopped paying attention to that number long long ago, even when still active in the queues

rene

Stop whining, it is all explained in my perfect answer. Bring on the votes!

Shadow Wizard

16:18

Alexis King

@rene If that's true, then why the hell is suggested edits at "0" for me if it's actually over a thousand?

I can't imagine a thousand people are actually in that queue concurrently.

rene

@AlexisKing because over a 1000 users are now looking at an sugested edit review

Alexis King

Is that honestly true? If so, I'm impressed. I didn't realize we had so many people reviewing.

rene

some might skip?

Maybe some bots that visit those queues as part of some quality effort?

Alexis King

How did this guy get 21 reviews? :O

Hax!

rene

16:21

Post was deleted

Alexis King

Huh, I didn't realize that gave you back slots in the review queue.

It certainly doesn't happen with the CV queue.

rene

You get your review task back....sometimes... i never managed to get that done though

No, the CVQ doesn't have that feature

You'll need a diamond (and a cookie) to do more then 40 close vote reviews on a day

@JasonC Can't tell if joking or just too lazy to read the backlog.

Remember the 55k worth of pending close votes? That sort of thing just scares people away if they feel the mountain is infinitely high. Truth in advertising suggests it should go 1, 2, 3, ∞. :)

@AlexisKing I think it's a serious question. At least it was meant to be. I don't understand.

@Shog9 Hahaha, okay. That's a little bit more comforting than the idea of having thousands of uncompleted review items.
