STV and all, one should still be wary of putting shoo-in candidates first... they get a sizable portion of the vote, often a half or more, that could be better spent influencing the outcome of the fight for #3.

Example: jimsug got 41% of my vote. Of the 59% left, feetwet got 33%. That left only 40% of the vote for Zizouz.

Quill

I wonder how voting would be if it only took 15 rep or so to vote

"Of the 59% left, feetwet got 33%" means about 19% of the original vote

this edit: meta.stackexchange.com/review/suggested-edits/45448

I assume it was an experiment on a few pages

Not site wide for all pages?

Or did I misunderstood the tweet? twitter.com/Nick_Craver/status/755055245454151680

Bart

10:20

It seems to be site-wide? Ping a dev perhaps

Say @Oded, are you around? Is this a correct edit? meta.stackexchange.com/review/suggested-edits/45448

rene

Now we wait ...

Oded

Not really an experiment, but yes, only done on a few routes.

I've updated the answer.

Bart

Thanks :)

Oded

Thanks for letting me know :)

Magisch

Hey Oded (no ping cause CM)

Oded

10:32

CM? I'm no CM.

Just a lowly Q&A developer :P

Magisch

SE Employee will do it

I'm hesitant to ping blue people unless its important

rene

@Oded I fixed the url there, not sure what happened

Oded

I should have checked the link. I think I had a ] there before linking - probably threw off the parse.

Thanks for fixing, @rene

Magisch

@Oded Did you guys ever intend for people to max out all review queues on any given day?

Because atm, depending on what you get to review, thats impossible

Oded

I doubt it is intentional. I'd expect there to be limits on each and every queue - so people are forced to take a break.

Magisch

10:36

@Oded Oh, there are

But if you do 40 CV reviews, it can mean that midway through triage reviews you ran out of close votes, and then you can't review triage to its daily limit

Same for votes with first posts and late answers

TIPS

Also if you're vote-capped.

Oded

Ah - that's lots of features that come together in an unexpected way. But... if it forces one off the queue (and the queue doesn't just keep growing), that's not really a problem.

Treat it as a signal to stop reviews ;)

Magisch

Where is my god now? :(

TIPS

Upstairs

Oded

The only queue that's a problem there is the close votes queue. And even that is oh so much better than it used to be.

@Oded so other than QA developers, what other developers are there?

Oded

@Telkitty Careers, Marketing, Internal, SRE...

More about team association and product focus than actual skills.

Magisch

@Oded Who is currently working on the docs project of those?

Oded

It is part of Q&A - actual team - Jarrod Dixon, Adam Lear and Kevin Montrose, with a bit of help from others as needed.

When you visit faq, your mouse pointer become hand when you mouseover text of the topic which is expandable and it become text-selector on that text of the topic which is not expandable. And if your pointer is hand while mouseover on text, then when you click post is expanded and pointer become text-selector BUT for the last 4th post "Why is my avatar not showing correctly?" it is hand instead of text-selector and remains hand (you've to click title)

Does it happen for you?

Yes.

Please don't tell me you're gonna report that as a bug.

Yes. This issue is very serious and needs immediate medical attention.
