@peterh I would like to know what you are talking about when you say that you deleted my answer

user202362

@πάνταῥεῖ I am afraid that even if I chime in, it will not get you unbanned. There are two way you can change your ban: impose enough threat or appealing for sympathy.

Also, an odd thing to ask when balpha works for SO.

there are only 82+ million people in Germany, obviously all of them know balpha

I've suggested an edit, let's see though ...

rene

OK, let's test the quality of the reviewers ;)

Shadow Wizard

08:06

@rene we'll know in 6-8 weeks. Seriously, one of my suggested edits took over 20 days to be reviewed once.

@Alex he does? Haven't seen or heard from him for loooooong time.... maybe they locked him up in the cage downstairs?

19

A: I wonder what a company cage looks like?

No no no, you obviously misread this. We have a cage downstairs that we stick other companies in. And yes, EA is in there for that whole SimCity debacle.

@YvetteColomb you can do that when you want to go on a long break from chat. ;)

rene

@ShadowWizard sure, I think I have a SEDE query about review times. It came out horrible for SO due to the 20 or so stuck suggested-edits

RAGE QUIT someone down voted my SEDE Query on Meta. That shows bad on my profile. Bring out the pitchforks! I demand justice! Ban the down voters! add your own drama here, while I make myself a coffee ...

@rene stuck edits? Also, 20 out of 500 is really not much. Still room for 480 other edits.

Oded

@Alex Max is German too.

Shadow Wizard

(99% of them are the crappy inline code abuse)

Maybe disallow adding backticks in suggested edits. This will reduce the crappy edits in like 99.99999% and encourage reviewers to review.

@Oded Payne?

Oded

Naw, he's CGI. A completely different country.

Shadow Wizard

hmm

user202362

08:39

German ... shepherd

Shadow Wizard

@Oded any exciting news from DAG team? Preview/spoilers of upcoming features? ;)

@Telkitty hey, they stole the idea from us!

Oded

Work on pushing the updated header and footer out to all Q&A sites. Still with the designers.

Shadow Wizard

Bet @Oded saw that as a kid too ^^

user202362

I can't believe that I have never realised this before: shepherd consists of two words: shep (sheep) and herd

Shadow Wizard

Though her name is Azit, not Max.

Oded

08:41

You know, I don't think I ever did see it. Somehow I escaped ;)

Shadow Wizard

@Oded whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?! H... ho... how? :D

Oded

Of course, I knew of it, but I don't remember seeing it.

Shadow Wizard

Next thing you'll tell me you never saw בלי סודות.... or זהו זה....

Oded

Though - I probably did see it - a rerun likely.

@ShadowWizard what are those?

Oded

I know... I remember Kishkashta

Shadow Wizard

Very thorny

Oded

It had some good points.

Shadow Wizard

Though now I wonder, does Kishkashta come from the verb לקשקש?

I think it is. feeling like @Telkitty

lol, it got Wikipedia...

Kishkashta

Kishkashta (Hebrew: קישקשתא) was the main character in one of the first Israeli Educational Television shows, Ma Pit'om (מה פתאום; "What on earth?" or "No way!"), written by, among other screenwriters, Tamar Adar. The show aired in the 1970s and '80s, when there was only one television station in Israel, TV was still black and white, and there were only a few hours of television a day. Kishkashta was a talking cactus, a felt puppet equivalent to Big Bird, who introduced himself singing a solitary song, Ma Pit'om: "They call me 'Kishkashta,' Kishkashta is my name... I almost forgot: 'hello!' I sing...

user202362

looking back at the anime I used to craze about when I was a kid, I see how truly dumb and childish I once were

user310756

@πάνταῥεῖ I was the queen of suspensions, from everywhere and they kept getting longer until I ended up with a 20 year suspension from the entire network. I honestly didn't get a suspension I didn't deserve. Word to the wise. Review your behaviour and stop trying to justify it. You need to rethink what Be Nice means.

user310756

Truly I'm trying to help you. You're old enough to know better, as am I. So ask yourself what's going wrong with your judgement to keep ending up in the penalty box.

Journeyman Geek

@Telkitty My former workplace worked on that ;p

rene

As this seems to be a competition let's see if I can beat that ... brb ...

user202362

I think there are room owners so frustrated that they plonked me or wrote a bot. Nowadays, the most I got was some minute long kicks, and I don't even get those on monthly basis.

user202362

It's hard to get 20 year bans

πάντα ῥεῖ

@YvetteColomb THX for sharing this.

It's like this work place when I was told that most people stay there for 10+ years, I lasted for 6 months. The place I stay the longest is known for being a revolving door.

Shadow Wizard

If you wonder about my grumpy mood, it's because I just read an old comment again....

This is still on the to do list. I'm talking about it in our team chat room right now. The functionality is easy to add in, I already have the code (it's just injecting infavorites:229741 into the search bar) -- The harder part is figuring out where in the UI to put the button / if it should only be available when you already have some favorite questions (so we'd have to do the API call before showing it, etc) -- I really want to do this. — Kasra Rahjerdi ♦ Jul 5 '16 at 16:26

What a joke.

"easy to add in".... "already have the code"..... HAHAHAA. YEAH RIGHT.

rene

Go get'm @ShadowWizard that will teach them ...

Shadow Wizard

And that's just a "nice to have" feature, trivial feature. There are still tons of bugs, some actually harming the usability of the app.

Shadow Wizard

14:33

now go get q, @rene :D

user315433

14:53

@ShadowWizard I think Kasra wrote that unless the app usage increases dramatically, the apps will be shelved. Hence the attempt to increase it "with that sweet Stack Overflow name". Which of course will not work, so we should consider the apps shelved.

Shadow Wizard

@Alex where he wrote that?

I would totally accept it, better than letting us sit in the darkness, waiting for a light that never comes.

whoa... the blue feet strike again! /cc @rene

I wonder who deleted more OTQ on MSE, @bluefeet or @Oded? ;)

Wish I could use the deleted:1 operator.... :(

user315433

@Seth you're on the money, in both messages :) We've been working full time on the SO app since last June, and while I'd love to grow my team and hire more people and invest more in the apps, it doesn't make sense to when the SE app's numbers are ones I would've killed for back in my start-up days but a tiny tiny % of total company numbers. I'm really hoping this app is a blockbuster and causes us to double-down, but in 6 months my team might be doing mobile-web if that helps the company more. — Kasra Rahjerdi ♦ May 16 at 13:57

Two months gone, the apps have 4 months left to live.

Don't remember the last time I saw someone get 10 stars

The last time was probably @Bart saying something weird that was apt

user315433

Could be his idea for running mod elections:

user315433

Dec 6 '14 at 18:04, by Bart

How about we just lock users in a room and hurl insults and Nazi references at them. If they snap in any way, they are dismissed.

rene

@ShadowWizard run for mod on MSE ... oh wait ...

user315433

16:31

The only site with updated SEDE data is SO. Nick said SO is the last to be pulled...

user315433

Maybe they changed the order or something. I'll wait til Monday to press the panic button.

It's stack based

user315433

For reference, Nick's answer about SEDE update

user315433

Never heard of those. They don't have a SE site yet.

user315433

It used to be this way with CMS, but then just stopped. What was the last CMS site to be created?

Supporting Makoto, I guess. I haven't decided on my vote yet, waiting for the end of nomination period.

user315433

Dimitri mx looks stronger in most categories.

I also think to support Makoto, knowing their experience on SO. But candidate score is hard.

Guess it comes to Anime.SE regular vs SO regular

user315433

One has 1190 reviews, the other 97.

user315433

I think I prefer the candidate who puts more work in A&M.
