@ShadowWizard [:3612965] Blacklisted user and registered question as true positive: added title to the Bayesian doctype 'bad'.

Shadow Wizard

@Pro what is the number? (3612965)

ProgramFOX

message it took action for

Shadow Wizard

but it's not the post ID so what does the number mean?

ProgramFOX

You can use it to confirm that Smokey behaved like your command was a reply to <number>.

Shadow Wizard

So it's internal ID of Smokey?

PeterJ

It's the chat ID, so the same number as clicking the "link my next chat message..." button

oh

^

cool

two accounts of same user, because they are banned for asking question from one. Is this alright or should I flag it for something?

user259867

@DroidDev Flag of their posts for mod attention and explain what's going on.

DroidDev

@1999 thanks. Done :)

Am I missing something, or does wearing a button-down shirt qualify as "extra fancy"?

Andy

TIL I am extra fancy every work day

@1999 personal preferences, I guess...

Hey @SouravGhosh. I see you are stalking Skilvvz about the real time updates not working still. Me too.

SouravGhosh

@Andy I dunno, it's already marked status-complete. I posted follow up comment, no info from their side, till time.

Andy

I prodded him in the MSE post and was told it was due to caching. That was two hours ago. Your most recent comment was more recent than that.

SouravGhosh

@Andy Added a follow up comment in MSE also...let's see.

@SmokeDetector [d] tag is not nearly as popular as [c]... it gets worse for [e], and there is no [f].

user259867

Of the rest of the alphabet, [r] and [s] exist, with [r] vastly more popular.

What's standard policy when a user copy and pastes another answer verbatim, but says he took it and provides a link back to the original?

Original: stackoverflow.com/a/23747322/656243

Copy (w/ link): stackoverflow.com/a/31019010/656243

Oops. corrected original.

@rene @Andy @ShadowWizard Curious what your thoughts are.

Kevin Brown

@LynnCrumbling A good starting place is turning the answer into a quote.

@LynnCrumbling And then maybe even flagging the new question as a duplicate of the original

Lynn Crumbling

@KevinBrown Thoughts on best way to relate to the answerer that he should have flagged as a dup instead of answering?

(just a comment?)

Lance Roberts

As long as he's attributing and it answers the question, it seems ok.

Lynn Crumbling

@LanceRoberts You don't want to encourage users to answer duplicate questions. Flag as dup and move on.

Bart

@LynnCrumbling yep, pretty much.

Lynn Crumbling

2:49 PM

@Bart done

Bart

Hmm, next time add a bit more please. An insult. Calling him a noob. Something that's offensive and flagable. But this will do for now.

Shadow Wizard

@LynnCrumbling well, better also make the answer CW, but of course ideally, the question itself should be closed as dupe.

That said, having such answer isn't really that bad, it can help the OP request more details and get focused help, where he usually can't comment on answers posted on the dupe.

Lynn Crumbling

@Bart hahahahaha

Important discussion on new nav:

Q: What should clicking on the Site Logo & "Questions" links in the site header do?

This discussion (which is meant to be neutral) is about what the Site Logo and "Questions" links in the header should do. I think this is a worthy discussion and was recommended by Sklivvz♦ in an answer on my previous question. The New Nav is making a lot of changes to the site as we know it. Le...

I love Stack Overflow. Quality / other issues aside, I consistently find solutions to problems I'm facing - pretty much every day.

Case in point, this exact problem (and the top-voted answer worked for me).

@jadarnel27 it's the very reason why I never asked a question.

@Bart And that's why I've asked very few =) And all of my questions were either a. from when I was really new to SQL, or b. when I was doing something really silly.

@PraxisAshelin Of course!

What kind of SE citizen would I be if I didn't upvote good / helpful content (the question and the answer in this case)?

Approach it like a tweet @LanceRoberts. 140 chars or less. Or just a picture of your dinner. Yeah, just make it a picture of your dinner.

It's the deleted archive for SO. Guess it's time to break up the answer into categories.

I still have 10 pages of backlog to go.

Bart

Just get rid of that question. Much simpler.

Andy

If you remove every instance of the letter 'e', you'll get plenty of characters back

Lance Roberts

Just implement the 'archive' feature we need and it won't be necessary. Knowledge and history should be preserved, especially the stuff that built this site.

That's one form of compression.

Bart

For history there is the data dump.

Andy

@Bart Doesn't cover some of the more historical deleted stuff though

Bart

@Andy and that's where the real gems are ...
