I wonder what I will be better at: being a firefighter or a chess player? Or maybe I will be bad at both?

Shog9

I suggest lighting the pieces before your next game - if they're extinguished before you win, then go for firefighter.

user202362

play with fire and get burned ... thanks for the advice, maybe you just want to watch me catch fire and burn (burning baby burn - remember that song?)

user259867

Migration.

Shog9

(up through like June 4th)

Folks voted a LOT more immediately after the import

Votes per month / all posts visible on the site per month

RUSO:

SO:

As of May, that ratio was the same on both sites

user259867

2:09 AM

Live version of the votes/month query

user259867

OK, so ru.SO stats are brought down by its dark past.

user259867

Sharepoint was an import too. And Sound design. Those again have low v/p.

user259867

So, among "normal" sites, those that grew out of Area 51, Magento has the lowest v/p.

Shog9

@NormalHuman this was an extremely common problem on SE 1.0 sites; folks routinely complained about posting something and getting... crickets. No upvotes, downvotes, comments, death-threats... nothing.

Which, it turns out, is a great way to get folks to leave.

JamesENL

Warnock's dilemma

Warnock's dilemma, named for its originator Bryan Warnock, is the problem of interpreting a lack of response to an online posting. The term originally referred to Usenet posts, but has been applied to mailing lists, blogs, Web forums, and web content in general. The dilemma arises because a lack of response does not necessarily imply that no one is interested in the topic, but could also mean for example that readers find the content to be exceptionally good (leaving nothing for commenters to add). On many internet forums, only around 1% of users create new posts, while 9% reply and 90% are lurkers...

I remember there was a post about how people voted the first X minutes after a post was created

it has to be Jon's post

maybe I am confused with the FGITW post meta.stackexchange.com/a/225034/213575

Andrew T.

People are strange... fast response (down+close vote) and no response yield same result -> leave

I do think something like this (although maybe slightly different) would help. Right now, when a user gets a downvote, they likely don't know what that means except for 'bad'. Sure, they could've read the help center... but how many people do that? 1%? Even Jeff Atwood supports JIT learning. — hichris123 32 secs ago

@Derpy Oh. >.<

Derpy

means that I can post a fully readable to user eye spam message and have it avoid detection.

While it also won't be indexed by search engines, I wonder if we should stop allowing unicode and solve all these problems.

Wonder what happens if I use the reverse override in a chat name.

Probably no one would figure how to ping me.

Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ.

Only one way to find out.

@Derpy Good luck with that because SE blocks Unicode chars in names :P
