so is there anything blocking people from flagging after a declined flag?

I flagged some content for copyright.. that was declined and now I can't flag

bjb568

you can't flag a post twice for mod attention, except with an other flag

Bart

@Mgetz if you have plenty of them

bjb568

you can also be flagbaned.

Mgetz

357 deemed helpful
10 declined

only flag declined this week

so if I'm flag banned it's because close flags get migrated into close votes

Bart

@Mgetz so what did you try to flag later on? Something different? What do you see when you try?

Mgetz

19:17

@Bart it initially accepted the dupe flag but on refreshing the page the dupe comment and close vote were gone

that said I dispute the reason my flag was declined anyway, it should be disputed not declined

copyright is still an issue

Bart

Link please? And how did you flag it?

Mgetz

@Bart to which flag?

the dupe has already been hammered

Bart

But you flagged something because of a copyright issue? What was that? How did you flag it?

Mgetz

3

A: strtok() - Why you have to pass the NULL pointer in order to get the next token in the string?

strtok() keeps some data in static variables inside the function itself so it can continue a searching from the point it left it the previous call. To signal strtok() that you want to keep searching the same string, you pass a NULL pointer as its first argument. strtok() checks whether it is NULL...

Unihedro

Did you use an Other flag?

Mgetz

19:20

flagged using the other

the poster is copy and pasting from microsoft's CRT, which explicitly bans doing so

> declined - I'm not sure that we should be policing copyright, or that we even have enough information to determine that this is a copyright violation. Microsoft can file a DMCA request on this themselves.

rlemon

> I'm not sure that we should be policing copyright

hwat?

Mgetz

last I checked copyright clearance was part of the posting guidelines, e.g. don't post something you don't have the rights to

Bart

@Mgetz that's debatable, but iirc there was something about their EULA allow for non-commercial distribution. Copyright does not necessarily imply that redistribution is out of order.

rlemon

in any case, he does kinda cite Microsoft

I think it would fall in fair use

@Bart research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/projects/invisible/…

the EULA linked to that code does allow for it as well (seemingly)

Bart

@rlemon okay, that seems to confirm it

rlemon

19:25

research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/projects/invisible/src/… code looks like it was nipped from here. EULA is linked

Mgetz

@rlemon that would be a much better reason to decline, but AFAIK it probably should be disputed not declined, decline indicates that I should NEVER raise that flag again

rlemon

@Mgetz I don't know enough about the flag statuses to comment towards that

Bart

Can moderators dispute? Don't know what their dialog looks like.

rlemon

sorry

but it sounds reasonable (despute vs decline)

Mgetz

Q: What is the difference between disputed and declined flags?

I'm looking at my flag count, and I see a couple 'declined' flags and a few 'disputed' flags, and I'm wondering: what is the difference between the two? I've had both disputed and declined flags where the action I expected from the flag was taken, so I can't quite nail down what they mean (other...

rlemon

19:28

neat

Mgetz

whelp I'm probably flag banned... because the system is stupid

Unihedro

@Mgetz You really never should raise that flag again - the SE content policy enforces a proper procedure for removing proprietary information that aren't licensed to be posted on here. It's hard for the moderator reviewing to assume good faith.

rlemon

105	moderator attention flags
98	deemed helpful

Bart

@Unihedro I'm well aware, I'm also aware that any opinion is subjective

@vaultah Yes. It'd spell only "declined" if completed through community review.

@GeorgeStocker I'd like to clarify this: you're not actually legally/mod-agreementally prohibited from taking action, are you? Stack Exchange employees can not, because that could interfere with their safe harbor protection, but that probably wouldn't apply to community moderators. It's just that the community consensus is also to defer to the DMCA for practical reasons?

George Stocker

@JeremyBanks Sounds like a great thing to put into an email to SE Inc. We've been served well by not getting involved in private contracts and copyright disputes in the past; and until someone from SE Inc says "Enforce other people's contracts and any copyright disputes", we're better off staying out of that.

Half the time, you need a law degree to determine who owns the copyright / what licenses they issue for it. No thanks.

I do not have a law degree.

and then Lightness closed it again.

Well, you can't.

When we are looking at how to prioritize international sites, and which languages we should tackle, it becomes obvious that there is no perfect data set out there to help us make that decision. For instance, if we just go by number of native speakers then we should prioritize Hindi over Japanese.

The adjacent messages there are of interest too.

Currently, it seems that Spanish is next, with ongoing search for a Community Manager. But the discussion in CoGro room indicates they plan to continue beyond that.

@Ixrec Several things: as @Undo says, we are hiring CMs who are fluent in other non-English languages. (We are hiring for a Spanish-speaking CM!) But we also are working on smoothing out the process of getting the UI translated/localized. One difficulty is that Stack Overflow is not yet feature complete. When a new feature comes out, it needs localization in (currently) 3 different languages.

Like new profile, for example. Other languages didn't get it yet.

They will. But they need a bit extra work compared to all of our English sites.

Ixrec

@JonEricson Can a site like that ever be "feature-complete"? Or do you mean there are a lot of huge changes like the profile thing in the pipeline?

Braiam

@Ixrec going by the latest april's fool joke, nope and maybe

@Ixrec I suspect we will be adding (or more likely updating) features for many years to come.

Q: Announcement: Keyboard shortcuts are now integrated into the site

Originally we had implemented keyboard shortcuts as a user script. We have now finally made the change to have them integrated into the site. When you go to the Edit Profile & Settings page on your profile, and then select the Preferences submenu, you’ll find a new checkbox labeled Enable keyboa...

@JonEricson the configuration is per-site :(

Q: Make the keyboard shortcuts activation global

One of things SE can do with our profiles is syncing. In fact there's a box called "Save And Copy Profile To All Stack Exchange Accounts". Why isn't the keyboard shortcuts part of this functionality? Is there any technical problem that can't be solved?
