Is this worthy of a spam flag ? stackoverflow.com/a/25220855/4428462 Seems like it's pomoting some product without disclosing affiliation. Maybe a mod attention flag explaining that it's not "serious" spam ?
We really need spam flags with comments

07:16
@JanDvorak You could probably leave a comment on the post itself explaining why it seems spammy, and presumably a mod would see it.
I don't think a mod would see a comment. 2 out of his 3 answers promote this though..
@JonasCz IIRC, mods see comments when they review flags, but I could be wrong.
Though, honestly, a custom flag could probably be raised for spam, though it'd take longer to be handled.
@JonasCz the questions need to be nuked too ... nothing good can come out of this kind of questions

Oh, you mean a comment in addition to a flag. That makes sense. I've already done custom mod flag, it's been pending for two weeks now..

Hopefully the flag queue should get handled more quickly now that the new mods are elected.
Though with all the mods stepping down lately, it does seem unlikely.
I wish I had enough rep to close vote. I presume my "should be closed" flags only send stuff into the close queue ?

CV Option 1: Increase the high-traffic but non-SO sites quote of CVs from 24 CVs to 36 CVs.

CV Option 2: Delete votes scale but close votes do not. Say what? Fix this: Award +1 CV for each 3k over the 3k minimum needed until a max of 100 CVs is reached on !SO sites, or 200 CVs on SO.

CV Option 4: Grant "very" high rep users with a very good track record of being right about closure "higher weighted" CVs, so double-strength (counts as 2x) for the good but not absolute best ones and triple-strength (3x) for the very highest by the rep+record metric, so that that way it takes 3 votes from th
Those are bits, so you can pick more than one. 3=1+2, 5=1+4, 6=2+4, 7 picks all of them.
The interesting thing about bit 4 is that it is not wholly reputation based.
It is based on one's record, like flags.
I suppose I should go formally propose this if it is not a dupe.
And if it is a dupe, what hasn't it happened yet?
I run out constantly.
Option 5. Stop accepting questions on SO. We have plenty.
Option 6, close/ restart the site
^^^ inspired by StackEgg game
Option 7. Mod for a day lottery, if you win you get full mod powers and can write a script to close everything for a random reason.

@PeterJ Admin screens.
@Bart how about Thanks for your question. Before being published your post is peer reviewed. That will take between 6-8 time-units. Thanks for your patience
@rene that's better than my stop it. go away. now
Admit I'm a nice guy!
I'll go as far as admitting you're nice.
rene is a nice guy.
Conditionally...
Nailed it
@rene Yes, he is. Which is why I present option 3.
@rene Shog is right. The close system has a huge flaw, even though it's tiny. Now that SO is growing into a huge site, its tiny problems are surfacing and have to be dealt with in the right options.
I wonder if improve / looks OK in triage disputes flags raised outside the queue? Noticed an unclear flag I raised on this was quickly disputed: stackoverflow.com/questions/29862785/…
@PeterJ yea, think so
@Roombatron5000, thanks yeah that sort of sucks, there's a lot marked as should be improved and makes it hard to flag anything that's somewhat new.
@PeterJ you asked that question a few weeks ago meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/289386/… , no official , official response i guess, but close enough
@Roombatron5000, that was inside the queue, this was just something I spotted otherwise so wondered if the same happened outside the queue but sort of guessed based on the above it must have.

tchristMore Close Votes — and Double-Badger Superpowers You make good points. I worry that unless this is mitigated according to track record, it risks people just going crazy with it and tossing bad CVs all over the place. Some sort of dampening effect that fed back into the determination might be en...

@PeterJ yea, probably the same. If it's quickly disputed that must mean triage since the close queue would likely take a lot longer to dispute
The double-badge solution pair at the bottom addresses Shog’s concern while also creating new capability-related privs tied to actual performance and domain expertise.
The only thing I haven’t thought about is how this scales for smaller sites, but perhaps it is not so much of an issue there. I don’t know.
> TL;DR:

• Give holders of CVRQ Steward + silver tag-badge holders double-weighted CVs in that badged tag.

• Give holders of CVRQ Steward + gold tag-badge holders triple-weighted CVs in that badged tag.
Wouldn’t that be a good idea?
Neither is a binding vote, but it is heavier.
And it is tied to domain expertise.
Not just how funny people think you are.
Yea. I like it. Get err done!

I lament that I could find no suitable American double-badger shots, only Eurobadgers.
^^ Are they badgers? Looks to me like a dingo, wild boar and a road-kill koala because the head is flattened a little
^ After an exhaustive search through almost the entire first row of GIS results for "american badgers", I finally found that.
It wasn’t cute enough.
I saw it too. Many times.
I wanted either really cute or really aggressive.
The European badgers look . . . odd.
I found a few other pictures but they were too encumbered to use even with credit given.

Then again, with badgers, size doesn’t matter.

@rene You break it you own it.
Ok, sure, you can do while (*dst++ = *src++) but that requires at least a couple of different instructions, so hardly counts.
I’ll wait for the jquery folks to wake up. They’ll know the answer.
@tchrist String instructions are a matter of convenience. Are you hoping for something like x86's "rep"?
@JasonC “Hope” is not the operative term here. :)
But yeah.
However, you really don’t need it there.
You have nice addressing mode bits.
Why are you coding for PDP-11s?

Because as you know I value clean aesthetics above all other things when it comes to programming languages.
