@bjb568 Why would you announce something like that? Especially before the votes are locked.
 
@tchrist Why not? You need to put your cards on the deck in advance in case another candidate wants to up the ante with a better bribe.
 
I personally would never publish something like that. However just my opinion. that is something personal like a password.

2:40 PM
Why does the queue say "Our system has identified this post as possible spam; please review carefully" on tests? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of a test?
 
@Sterling a lot of SO users seem to think it's only on audits, but happens on sites without audits so I'm guessing it's IP based
Just to clarify - I've seen it on good posts too - so could catch someone just downvoting / flagging on that alone
 
3:10 PM
@ShadowWizard But it was editing questions too.
 
@berserk sure, it edited all posts that contained links to meta.stackoverflow.com
(replacing them to meta.stackexchange.com)
 
It is just a program?
I mean it automatically turn them text links?
 
@berserk no, it took existing links and changed them. Dunno how he wrote it exactly, maybe it was done all in pure SQL
 
It turned

3:22 PM
@berserk oh, I see what you mean. The first revision of Oded's script directly injected <a> tags into the post, and took the title from database. The next revisions of the script just changed the link itself, without injecting anything. Since the answer is deleted, it was not "oneboxed" into the question title.
 
oh, so it just edited the link?
nothing else?
But it says community changed that, doesn't it?
 
@berserk yeah, Oded preferred to apply the edit to Community, not to himself
(other mass edits did the same, though I think that MSO-->MSE edits are the biggest mass edit)
 
Oh, so kinda using Community as front end?
 
Yeah, something like that :)
 
lol ok
It was bugging me from long time.

Thanks for your answers all. I will take a look at the existing threads about the gender question on SE, because it is maybe a bit unrelated to the election to talk more about this here. I don't think reserved-slots-for-women is the solution for sure, and I wasn't especially pointing women anyway when talking about gender in the beginning, but all various genders. Good luck to all @candidates
PC to the extreme.
What a shallow minded fellow.
 
Gee, I fail to see how gender equality beliefs relate to handling flags on a website.

@ShadowWizard I joined the site two months after.
 
there's a couple of third-party apps currently available, but I want to use the official SE app so there's no chance of my login details being sent to some undisclosed third-party server
(could sideload it, but that defeats the security aspect)
 
Is there an SEDE query that shows questions I've flagged as duplicates and their outcomes?

Thanks! Looks like we missed that section. According to web.archive.org/web/20111018183116/http://www.quantcast.com/… it seems that section has been in their TOS at least as far back as October of 2011 and it also included a link that described what an anonymous beacon was.

@NormalHuman going to ask that the mobile/tablet apps are made available directly on the SE site, for sideloading on devices that don't have Google Play (such as Cyanogen-based devices)
IMHO it would make maintaining the app far simpler than trying to maintain on all possible appstores
