@hichris123 Alright

user202362

I can understand why spammers are trying to sell degrees on Stackoverflow, what I don't understand is that why are spammers selling anti-aging creams and weight loss pills on Stackoverflow - got many audience?

user202362

dumb spammers need to learn targeted marketing

hichris123

It's a textbox on one of the most popular sites online. Why not spam there?

user202362

would you pimp some female prostitutes in a crowded gay bar?

user202362

1:41 AM

gay bar ... not gay & lesbian bar

Shog9

Are you saying Stack Overflow is a gay bar?

user202362

I am not calling spammers pimps

user202362

@Shog9 But ... are you suggesting something ;)

user248725

@Shog9 I like that idea, except for the fact that I'm not 21 yet.

Shog9

@QPaysTaxes she specifically said "not lesbian"

Now, I'm not sure how all this stuff works, but that sounds pretty exclusionary to me

And we here at Stack Overflow Heavy Industries are not about exclusionist behavior.

user248725

1:49 AM

Just because it's a bar catering to homosexual males doesn't mean females are barred from the premises.

user248725

It's exclusionary in the same way that McDonald's is exclusionary to people who care a lot about their health -- they're not the intended audience.

user248725

Unrelated, is there an official Stack Exchange policy on comments on spam posts? For example, if I post "This is spam. Taking this product could have severe side effects, including but not limited to death. Consult your doctor before taking any non-FDA certified or untested products advertised as means by which to improve one's health." on a spam post advertising vitamin supplements, is that considered "mean" or "abusive"

Andy

Why waste your time with the comment?

hichris123

Yeah, especially considering it's unlikely anyone will see it...

Shog9

So in this increasingly complicated metaphore, who are the people who care about health that Stack Overflow doesn't cater to?

user248725

1:53 AM

@Shog9 What? I just said I liked the idea of Stack Overflow being a gay bar.

user248725

@Andy Because as an EMT I'm morally and legally obligated to point out blatant risks to one's health?

user202362

Would lesbians hire female prostitutes?

user315433

@hichris123 A tweet by asmeurer

Shog9

@QPaysTaxes no. Because, who cares? It's spam.

Andy

@QPaysTaxes Well, spam on SE is dealt with pretty quickly. If you are morally and legally obligated to do so, I suggest you point your browser at some other site (say, reddit?) and chase down all the poor medical advice there.

user248725

1:56 AM

@Andy I'd be there all day. I wanna get something productive done.

user248725

Also, unrelated to obligations, it's fun to pretend I'm helping

user248725

@Shog9 Good to know :)

user202362

All I am saying is that, since there are so many homework questions, obviously there are heaps of people who care about getting a degree visiting this site, and degree spammers are targeting those people.

user315433

@hichris123 Except reviewers in LQRQ. I sometimes leave a comment on particularly tricky cases, such as a copy of another answer with an extra link. Kind of unfair to reviewers to use these as audits.

Dr. Strangedupe: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying And Love Duplication

Jeff Atwood on November 16, 2010

As Stack Overflow grows -- or any other Q&A; site in the Stack Exchange network, really -- there's a natural pressure to discover and link duplicate questions. The more questions you have, the higher the possibility a given new question isn't in fact a new question, but a duplicate of an older existing question. Because of this, we've continually enhanced the tools for finding, linking, and merging duplicate questions:

@Derpy too late. Flagging clippy would be... weird. But guess people can flag anything.

Hey @Shadow

Were you there for the town hall yesterday?

Shadow Wizard

1:56 PM

@Magisch nope. I was bathing my children when it was ongoing. Why?

user202362

that's a good excuse - bathing children :p

Shadow Wizard

hmm.... @hichris123 maybe pin the bookmarks of the Town Hall?

@Telkitty yes indeed! Routine must be kept... :D

Magisch

@ShadowWizard we had a nice discussion about chat and afterwards a handout with shog

I have a Nexus 7 which has not been charging over 20%. Today I put it in the oven at 50C for 30 mins then took it out and knocked it sharply on the bench a few times. After 3 hours on charged now have 100% charge

@bjb568isnotapebble why are you not a pebble?

user202362

why are there so many people who only sleep 5-6 hours a day??

Quill

2:16 PM

I only sleep 4 hours a day average

you get more done by doing that

user202362

I become a zombie if I do that

bjb568 is not a pebble

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Me am KITTEH!

@Quill o_0

I'm sleeping 9h/day, 'cause I have the time now.

user315433

2:38 PM

@bjb568isnotapebble that's obvious. Are people mistaking you for a pebble?

it's interesting to note that MSE appears at the top of /sites, but MSO is much further down

I thought it'd be the other way around

user311528

why?

Quill

Because MSO split into MSE and MSO a while ago, but MSO existed first

user311528

okay

user315433

2:52 PM

No, MSE existed first, back when it was called MSO.

Quill

the name MSO existed first

hichris123

@ShadowWizard What do you think would be best, pinning a message with [Town Hall Part 1] [Town Hall Part 2] or pinning the oneboxes?

@soup Yeah, mSO -> mSE and then a new site was created, mSO.

Quill

meh

KutuluMike

unless they've fixed pinning oneboxes to actually show something meaningful I would pin a message.

Jon Skeet's greatness impressed me so much, that I now think less of my family and friends. So while he may only have directly reached me, the fallout area is much much larger. — Bart 6 hours ago

yay free comment flags

Shadow Wizard

@hichris123 pinning a message with [Town Hall Part 1] [Town Hall Part 2], the onebox will only show a link

@hichris123 hilarious. Got to love that guy

user202362

3:30 PM

the guys has obviously been stalking skeet

Unix

Everyone does

user202362

I stalk some other people ... I don't follow them, I just stalk them whenever I feel like it

KutuluMike

If we're not supposed to stalk people why did God invent Facebook?

user202362

no facebook account

rene

@KutuluMike If God claims he did, let's meet with the lawyers of Facebook ...

user202362

3:34 PM

If stalking is like hunting, facebook must be like a farm.

Unix

It's not a farm

Facebook is a global meat provider

I'll guess they sell human meat, looking at their clients

rene

@Unix global meet provider?

Unix

meat

user202362

me at

rene

In good Dutch they sell gebakken lucht
