@DragonLordtheFiery I like that comment, might have to steal it.

@tchrist ...on the left a cat and on the right a rabbit...

@Undo I used to keep a file of those but people get really touchy if you post the same comment more often than a couple times a week.

@rene So they don't give you cat for hare, eh? :)

@tchrist Huh, I've never had anyone get touchy about that

I answered this question on 2015-09-25 and my timing of my last edit 07:16:33Z. Another answer was posted by someone at 2015-09-25 07:16:46Z, obviously later than mine edit.

Q: Is Andrew Barber no longer a moderator?

I read an old comment by Andrew Barber, and noticed that there is no diamond next to his name. Is he no longer a moderator? His profile still mentions: Community Moderator ♦ on Stack Overflow (AKA Evil Unicorn Overlord) but the link does not include him.

I agree that both "wont" and "Windows 7" are offensive.

@DragonLordtheFiery Damn it, it’s at –6 and not deleted.

And no, I did not downvote it.

Q: Is vandalism of own deleted posts tolerated?

Now and then a user will delete their own questions; if they do this too much, they’ll get caught at it. Similarly, if they vandalize their own posts by replacing them with garbage, they’ll get caught if they do that too much. In both cases the system raises a moderator flag about it based on t...
