Charcoal was actually the temporary Tavern for a bit. :P

in Charcoal HQ on The Stack Exchange Network Chat, Apr 17 '14 at 0:28, by badp

room topic changed to HAPPENING CENTRAL: Emergency fallout shelter for the MSE split. Usually where comments are flagged and SE is hacked. Handy links: http://www.erwaysoftware.com/charcoal & http://www.erwaysoftware.com/charcoaldev (no tags)

I heard that some company give some benefit who report bug that's recognize as bug. So, how about in MSE? I mean how about giving some benefit to bug reporter? (After recognizing the bug or when he got status-completed )

Quill

Pandya

Is there any similar question discussed?

Quill

The benefits are sweet glorious internet points here

I'd be willing to wager SE would send you some stickers at least, if you found a security vulnerability ;-)

Pandya

yes some points (meant by benefit)

Quill

I'm not sure what you're asking

JamesENL

6:44 AM

The question being asked is does SE give rep in exchange for finding a security hole. The answer is no

Q: Implement the Hacker Badge

from Stack Overflow Badge Feedback - Blog - Stack Overflow I’m specifically referring to the secret Stack Overflow hacker badge. It does exist, though it has yet to be awarded. (There might even be some other secret badges out there.. who knows?) It’s just taking a while ...

There is however the Hall of Fame: stackexchange.com/about/security

user315433

@Snowman et al., sorry for the delay, but we may need another week or two. In addition to the "we're busy with multiple things at once" reason (which is both true and not at all unusual), it seems the fact that we're a distributed team has been no barrier to many of us recently getting sick all at once, which hasn't helped matters. We definitely haven't forgotten about the request, though! — Pops ♦ 11 hours ago

@Oded so will you decline the feature request? Or leave it to higher powers to decide? :)

what do you mean by higher powers?

Shadow Wizard

9:15 AM

@Pandya Oded is "only" a developer, meaning not a manager. Maybe such decision (to decline the request) should arrive from a manager.

Though I'm sure the devs got some "pass" when it's about non critical bugs or requests. :)

Pandya

I think all mod have same power on MSE. So anyone can do status-xyz

Shadow Wizard

@Pandya technical power, of course. One type of diamond. But when it's about decisions to make, there's some hierarchy.

Shog is on top along with managers/VP like Jaydles, David, etc, then the other CM's, then developers. I think. :)

Pandya

@ShadowWizard how do you know hierarchy-tree?

Is there any meta-post or blog about it?

Shadow Wizard

@Pandya nah, it's also ever changing. I just ask around sometimes, and don't know the full tree myself of course.

Magisch

@ShadowWizard IIRC according to Joel's philosophy of management, big decisions at SE are made by who knows most about the subject

A few weeks ago my cat (just barely not a kitten anymore) got into a fight with a small forest Owl. The owl didn't survive this. The cat has not been acting strange since and I noticed no injuries so far. Should I be worried? Could there be internal injuries that only show later?

@S.L.Barth I like HNQ. Entertainment

@Quill Disappointmentation

S.L. Barth

@TIPS Fair enough... opinions vary.

TIPS

@S.L.Barth I used to hate it, like you.

Then I realized nothing in the world changes because of my hatred, so I didn't hate it anymore.

S.L. Barth

Well, hate is a big word. I don't hate it enough to install some blocking software.

TIPS

@TIPS Not sure what gnat said about them, but knowing Gnat, I can guess....

TIPS

Everything stops looking bad once you tell yourself that it's not good questions that make it to the HNQ most of the time.

S.L. Barth

I wonder if it were different without Worldbuilding.SE . That site seems on the fringe of the SE model. It seems very much a site for speculative questions.

@TIPS That's part of the problem, yes.

TIPS

Well, they finished the project of building a site where you can close every question as POB long ago.

S.L. Barth

HNQ is supposed to advertise our other sites, but it's often advertising the questions we DON'T consider good examples.

TIPS

7:11 PM

Yeah.

S.L. Barth

@TIPS Suddenly tempted to build 30 or more accounts, gain 3000 points on each, then close every question :-)

TIPS

@S.L.Barth And I stopped minding that a while ago.

The problem is you're giving it thought.

And when you give it thought, it sounds stupid.

S.L. Barth

We should create a special SE site where you get review privileges from the start. IWantGoldBadgesForMindlessClicking.SE .

Maybe SE could monetize the robo-reviewing. If someone clicks Approve more than 7 times in a minute, they get an interstitial ad :-)
