@AvinashRaj I don't think you can, it's not indexed that way. I used SEDE to search for just the fragment "^(.+?)" only found these three, none of which seem to be what you're looking for, so I don't think that post exists.
You also don't have any comments like that.

Fist pump. Read it and weep, guys.

Hmm...I find it interesting that they floor reputation scores instead of rounding.
@AstroCB 9.9k != "has 10k tools"
^ It seems they floor all of the stats – see @hichris123 and @bjb568 "member for 1 year"
@Doorknob True
Ugh; I was so busy with the election that I didn't do my 20 reviews in H&I.
I had a perfect streak up until now.

Hey @Andy; that "noisy comment" automation thing you were talking about; check out data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/297131/…. Comments that are the same thing twice seem to be prime candidates, at least ones that only consist of a small number of different characters.

New mod candidate
3 hours ago, by AstroCB
It's a tad sad that there are a few candidates whom I've never heard of who barely participate in moderation at all yet have rep way higher than me and are going to end up shoving me and other lower-rep-but-more-active-with-moderation candidates out simply because of that.
@AstroCB Happens every election. People crawl out of the woodwork for a chance at being mod and then when they don't get elected disappear off the planet again

Would be avoided by requiring some character before email, e.g., a space.
I spent too much time fiddling with the vote buttons there.
01:38
Wow, llamas with hats got really really dark
@Santa It's so easy to upvote.
You literally just copy "<a class="comment-up comment-up-off">upvote</a>" into here:

@bjb568 Make me a userscript and make it fast

@SantaClaus make it ursalf
sudo make me a userscript
@bjb568 I haz spanish homework to do I put off all break I haz things to do
if (rep < x) {
    upvote();
}
There you go
You may have to write the upvote() method yourself
@SantaClaus One liner with jQuery.
@AstroCB Calm down
01:47
Everything is a one-liner if you remove \ns
Just for you, @bjb: $(".comment-score").html("<a class=\"comment-up comment-up-off\">upvote</a>");
@AstroCB Bjb doesn't believe in jquery.
@AstroCB eww, unnatural
@bjb568 Why?
HTML isn't text.

@AstroCB He doesn't like the dollar sign because he hates money.
Hey, I said I'm not for communism.
@bjb568 Your comment is a bit rude.
Whatevs.
Get over that. It's not important. It has nothing to do with mod status.

There are some significant differences.
@bjb568 No as in no it doesn't, or no as in you disagree?
As in answer the question. No it doesn't.
I'm sorry, but nobody who thinks rude comments are okay should have a diamond attached to their name (and those comments by extension). Period.
01:52
Rude is subjective. It's rude if you want to see it that way. It could be "firm" or "to the point" or "opinionated" if you want.
Don't you know? If you append a :) to any comment, it immediately makes it ok.
2
Either that or make it look like you're not fluent in English.
Rude is anything that can be interpreted as rude. Being called a "joke" is not something that would make me happy.
@AstroCB The most significant being the direction the money flows in while you get a practical education.

Ok I'm deleting that conversation on Dan's nomination because you guys aren't even talking about Dan's nomination anymore. Keep your comments constructive and on-topic please.
The thing that really irritates me is you can't get permalinks to comments. The notification links are broken too.

Y'all are cheaters.

Yeah I'm not actually going to touch that script, lol. Seeing comment scores on that page makes me feel weird inside.
... flag? O_o
Hmm I wonder if we can flag comments
Anonymous
02:06
@Doorknob It literally is cheating at the election, if you use that script to draw attention to nomination comments that you care about, in a way that other users can not and is not intended.
@SantaClaus likely.

So I think the message should be deleted to discourage its use.
@JeremyBanks not intended... eh.
@JeremyBanks Flagging it will chatban Astro for 30 minutes. And far enough up in the transcript, it'll essentially be ignored anyway. And it's not that hard to figure it out in any case.
wait, it's starred. meh, still
Anonymous
Flagging it was probably unconstructive. :P
02:07
@JeremyBanks Hmm...unintended use.
I'm going to mark that invalid (although I still disagree with the usage of the script).
Someone may want to delete that.
And the jQuery one-liner above that.
i hate the can't vote on comments election crap
Sorry guys, I'm going to bug report that on meta, but I won't point fingers. I love being evil but that one makes me kind of uncomfortable.
And @bjb explaining how to do it further up.
02:09
@JasonC bug report what?
we should all write the same exact comment that we were going to upvote, so that people know we have the same question, comment, thought too
@JasonC Probably a good idea.
user259867
@JasonC Already reported, even has a bounty. meta.stackexchange.com/questions/245124/…
the problem is that comment voting isn't disabled in the back end
Just don't get me banned.
02:09
@pizza Thanks.
Anonymous
Does the first approved flag = a chat ban?
which is a bug... (never trust user response)
@pizza Oh, that's right.
@JeremyBanks 6 approves are required
That's why I didn't feel bad about writing it.
02:09
The flag is still pending
I just saw that the other day.
If they cared, they'd have fixed it before the election (I assume).

@AstroCB Well, sorry if you get chat-banned. >_>"
already 22 candidates, I guess there will be 44 by the end of nominations, what's your guess?
max 30?
@Roombatron5000 41
02:14
@AndrewT. i think there can be unlimited nominations, just max 30 that can make it into primaries... so if >30 , the top 30 reputations go to primaries
Well, anyway, I fixed the script to smooth out the rough edges; it looks stock now.
link? I tried to fix it but it was very borked
@Roombatron5000 oh, I see, thanks.
@bjb568 I'm not entirely sure about distributing it anymore...
02:15
Just do it.
Getting banned is probably not the best thing for a mod candidate.

Move along, nothing to see here.
@AstroCB Well, since apparently I'm unintentionally becoming the champion of the "mods are evil" crowd, getting banned might actually be a good publicity stunt.

I might as well embrace it.

you can do 180 reviews per day max currently... how do you manage to only do half of that in 6 years

Lol
@Roombatron5000 Reviews are not all that important for a diamond moderator.
They're open to all community members (with sufficient reputation) for a reason.
@Doorknob but if a user didn't help in the reviews barely at all, why would anyone think they'd be a benefit to helping in the mod queue?
@Roombatron5000 Reviews are completely different from flags.

@Roombatron5000 They might hide the flag count for the same reason as they've obscured the reputation and review counts -- they don't want to give people a simple number they can use to decide who to vote for, without looking any further.
