@ShadowWizard I think an intentional troll had been more conscious. No source on the internet says from the trolls that they had been stupid. It is an important part of this stereotyp.

@PatrickHofman Yes, I'm famous, you know ...

Magisch

Step 1: be rene

there is no step 2

rene

@zaq I like number one, I would use it as a dupe target for the require comments with down votes question, just for trolling...

Patrick Hofman

@zaq Consider that fixed.

rene

@PatrickHofman hé, vote on the post, not the user ... ;)

Patrick Hofman

@rene Of course rene :)

rene

thx

Magisch

I contradicted shog in a comment

lets see how long until I die

:P

rene

It was nice knowing you

Can I have your hat?

Magisch

I think that a lot of that comes from gold badge holders not really disagreeing with the duplicate closure but wanting to provide their own answers, dupe or not. I don't think thats a measure of success personally, but one of an open avenue to abuse the Mjolnir privileges. There are even gold badge holders who disagree with closing duplicates as a concept, do you really want to give those people even more unchecked authority? — Magisch 3 mins ago

@rene Maybe

rene

@Magisch but you didn't down vote?

Magisch

I'm not that suicidal

rene

I thought the camera feed was a joke but reading this answer you start to wonder ...

Magisch

!!/reboot

rene

@Magisch OK, so you have awoken Undo, he gets out of bed, stumbles to where the brooms are kept, and pushes a button... happy now?

Bart

8:00 AM

Contradicting Shog, waking Undo up ... what rampage are you on?

rene

Yeah, I bet he will be closing a question soon ...

Gives a whole new meaning to Winterbash

Derpy

8:20 AM

The profile icon can be changed without any time restriction right?

Only things like the account display name have cooldowns?

Bart

Think so, yes

So if you ever want to get rid of that pony, go ahead

Magisch

There is a frightening amount of CMs in this room

I have a feeling they're always silently watching, judging.

Bart

They are. The moment you really have to worry is when they're no longer doing so silently

Magisch

shog banned me once from chat for a week

that was a long time ago

user202362

@Magisch watching: yes, judging would cost unnecessary brain power ...

Rubisco

8:31 AM

@zaq No private messaging? -1

Derpy

@Telkitty Shog is already basically a floating head. I would assume their "judging infrastructure" is based on the Sibyl System.

Bart

8:43 AM

Been watching too much Psycho Pass @Derpy?

Derpy

@Bart You mean that the rep score isn't meant to represent your attitude at being a good/bad user?

Bart

If you give me the gun to match that, I'm inclined to say it should

Derpy

@Bart I think here the guns are called "delete/close vote"

(or question ban)

Bart

But ... they don't go SPLATTER

Derpy

@Telkitty is that the new Stackemon Go! game people have been talking about lately?

Wondering:

this is taken from the "SE guide to downvote war", §5.3, "Of downvoters identification"

>
Delete your post that received down-vote!
No, I don't mean for ever, but this way 1 point will be added to down-voter reputation points. I'm not sure if it happens immediately but within a few minutes certainly.

....

Would this actually work?

Magisch

9:05 AM

@Derpy why is that a thing

@Derpy It would

Derpy

.... great, now we just need someone to automate it and then the chicken fights can begin... -_-'

Magisch

I wonder

I can probably write a US that does that

If you poll a list of user's reputation (those being the ones that participated in the question so far) that would actually work to relatively safely identify that

huh

Derpy

@Magisch and then you create a site called StackLeaks that aggregates the data and makes the downvote info public?

Magisch

Hell no

I like my account on here

And I like the CMs

Derpy

@Magisch maybe you could try to justify yourself saying that that info was computed from data available from the public API? You know, like those useless scraper sites do?

Magisch

9:12 AM

for what

What use would it bring me to release a US or lord knows make a public database of that

I would generate a metric ton of unnecessary infighting and a mountain of salt

there's a reason votes are anonymous

Derpy

@Magisch you get you own mini-war to do behavioral research on? That could work as your master-degree thesis if you are into social studies.

Magisch

I'm not even smart enough for a bachlor in computer science

Rubisco

!!/alive?

rene

Yes

But I can use another coffee

Rubisco

@rene You're lying

Magisch

9:17 AM

brews coffee for rene

Derpy

@Magisch don't let that stop you. Your passion should be enough. Believe in yourself. Not the yourself that believes in Bart. Not the Bart who believes in you. Believe in the you who believes in yourself.

Magisch

waters @rene with the coffee

Rubisco

@Derpy Too much believing. I'm out.

rene

@Magisch ;)
