An unintended consequence of the recent reform of LQRQ comments: the users who identify comments with "deletion reason" think they can't delete because the reason "not an answer" isn't there. meta.math.stackexchange.com/q/22807

Morning...

@404 Thanks for the notification about Android.SE election :)

I still have doubt if I can commit if I were elected; there's only 1 slot too, and I know at least 3 better candidates than me.

Well, in the end, I believe one of them gets elected, and "everyone" happy.

user315433

Right... now that Izzy is running, only very heavy weights need apply.

user315433

Like Firelord.

@404 If I had enough rep to vote there, I'd vote for Izzy.

Wow. My mod complaint made it to Super User's "Hot Meta Posts" box.

You can easily find 25 posts to edit... e.g., take 25 newest questions.

I'm not sure how he made it this long without becoming a mod.

user315433

They didn't have elections since 2012.

hichris123

@404 Eh. I could but that's a lot of work. :P

Astro's script would probably suffice. The writing on Android is awful. It's like Ask Ubuntu questions, but typed on a phone.

Generic warning messages don't work as well as specific ones... see dilbert.com/strip/1996-11-23 I wonder if SE used the user's display name in pop-ups, would they be heeded more often?

@Zacharee1 @muru BEEDABEEboopboop

(that's my best attempt at turning the sound into text)

Jeffrey Bosboom

I wonder if there's a machine learning project that generates onomatopoeias from sound files.

Andrew T.

But onomatopoeias are culture-dependent.. meow vs nyan (it would be cool though)

Jeffrey Bosboom

Sure, hence why ML is required rather than a one-size-fits-all-cultures algorithm. I assume there would be a calibration where you'd be asked to select some onomatopoeias from a known set of sounds to estimate your cultural preferences before you could get useful output data.

@AndrewT. actually, @Zacharee1 and we were discussing how horrible the chat sound on chat.stackexchange.com is, compared to here.

Pls give us this sound. Pretty please?

Q: SE Chat custom notification sound

user315433

The "link only" thing is actually a pretty good example of a situation where the flag type either doesn't matter, or the post shouldn't be flagged at all, @Jarrod. In my experience, this notion that there are these brilliant answers out there that should nevertheless be deleted because they're "link-only" is... Kinda bunk; there are plenty of very-low-quality non-answers consisting only of a link, a handful of cases where the proper answer literally is a link, and a whole lot of terse answers that happen to contain links. No one argues about #1, human regexps flag #2 and bitter folk flag #3. — Shog9 ♦ 2 hours ago

After tweaking CVRQ interface to include downvotes, I found it a lot easier to leave "ugh" but answerable questions open.

Bitterness needs an outlet, that's all.

user315433

5:51 AM

Something like this might help for LQRQ too, because simply pressing Looks Okay on try-codeblock answers is a disagreeable experience.

Jeffrey Bosboom

Someone suggested in a comment in Tunaki's merge-the-flags question to give out a free downvote if the reviewers agree. I'd certainly use that on answers that I currently just Skip.

user315433

I'd be interested in "Free" as in "not counting toward 40/day quota", 1 rep is negligible.

@bwDraco It's understandable that you have conflict of interest with some mods, but if you're going to actively participate on the same site, then you can't run away from them. At best, just ignore them and move on with your style of moderation.
