Tavern on the Meta

All I see is that there's no correlation between having a fancy user ID and being a good user :P

lol

@bwDraco If I may, you're basically entirely unaware of other people when chatting, and occationally verge on the drearily boring.

But I have no clue how to teach you how to read context and be aware of what other people might think

There's a site for that?

@Narusan it could be possible that they just love modding a lot.

@Catija heh, plausibly!

Consider your new build! We're happy for you, and we hope you get a lot of enjoyment over it

But you feel more involved in the minituae of benchmarking

When I built this machine it was literally "So I finally built the thing. If anyone wants me to run some benchmarks, throw it at me"

;p

@JourneymanGeek I'll be watching the room more closely and will focus on engaging in conversation, not soapboxing.

I expect major changes over the next few days and will be making an aggressive effort to start conversations rather than just post content.

Morning...

Taking Japanese language proficiency test soon...

@bwDraco see. That's at the heart of the problem

...and this is how I get in trouble.

It almost sounds like trolling.

Well no. It feels like a lack of self awareness.

I think what needs to be done here is to put an effort into checking what I post and making sure I'm actually engaging the audience.

This kind of message...

I would rather die than to keep disrupting chat.

...shows that I have completely missed the purpose of chat.

RIP

And still doing it

@JourneymanGeek How?

What is it that you suggest?

Consider using your inner voice when pondering your effect on others

Problem solved.

Naw. Solution suggested

Also consider the effect you want when talking

1:32 AM

I think I know what's going on. I forget about my audience.

It's really simple, come to think of it.

I'm wondering... what made me start using chat as a soapbox? I don't quite recall doing this before the 2014 Super User mod election and the subsequent Winter Bash, which is when things started going downhill.

A trip down memory lane might help sort out this issue. I wonder if you can help...

Leaning on closevotes over a spam flag here. User is kinda just not seemingly not familiar with SE ways of doing things

-6 but only two close votes.... eeesh

6:14 AM

I threw one

the DVs might be spam flags or 'encouragements' to delete from lower rep users?

CV that is. I didn't DV

@Journeyman quick question: can you, as moderator, see favorite tags of other users?

hmm

lemme check ;p

(i.e. see their full Preferences tab)

I don't have any on "your" site so I won't be good test candidate. ;)

yup

yup what? You can see?

Or won't I be good test subject?

throwing double meaning on @Journeyman

aibo has no favourites being a souleless lump of obsolete silicon, but ya, its visible

9:13 AM

@JourneymanGeek hmm?

I mean favorite tags, not questions... this is public to anyone. :)

let me add some...

ohh

OK.... Can you see my favorite tags on SU? superuser.com/users/90117/shadow-wizard

@JourneymanGeek ^

yup

In this page?

yup

window and browser

9:25 AM

Forgot "s". ;)

hm. Now I need to go down to your house and beat to half to death with a giant S? ;p

No, that's something only @Jeff can do. ;)

Oh I see @JeremyBanks is pingable.... what's up Mr. Banks? :)

odd

lol

pingable yes, around, maaaaybe not

@JourneymanGeek huh, he was active here just yesterday! chat.meta.stackexchange.com/users/134300/… :D

Something has changed?

That sounds odd, not sure what was the purpose

that feels like how its worked all along

The edit makes the things look like the rep you get from accepts and bounties can still count towards the cap, or I've misunderstood something
I'd like to know: for example, you have earned 200rep bounty without having any other upvotes before that day
And then you get an upvote that day - will you have 210rep? For sure it would be 210 before, but the edit suggests that it's no longer the case and that upvote will add nothing to your rep

lets say, I have a 200 rep bounty...

I don't get any more rep from upvotes

but I'd get accepts and bounties

lets say I had 200. I DV someone, and get 199. The next upvote bumps me back to 200

@JourneymanGeek that's new to me

that's how I think its always worked

2:28 PM

definitely it's not how it worked before

so basically no more upvote rep once you hit 200. accepts count still as do bounties

that's the recent screenshot

stackoverflow.com/users/5209322/…

I had a related FR in 2012 meta.stackexchange.com/questions/136302/…

@JourneymanGeek it definitely didn't. Let's ask @sha, he knows for sure ....

> Bounties and the bonuses for accepting and accepted answers are counted separately (source)

Either it happened later than 2 days ago, either the edit has just added wrong information, because 2 days ago it was working as it did for years (see the screenshot above)

He probably means it is an accepted way to phrase that sentence. I hope he means in English.

Does punctuation placement count as a part of grammar?

3:20 PM

@JohnDvorak I'm not even sure if the rules are clear in my native language, let alone I can judge for foreign languages.

@alexolut In the US, the standard is to include the punctuation inside quotes.

See rule 4 here: grammarbook.com/punctuation/quotes.asp

7:19 PM

@rene actually not 100% sure about that myself, that's why I never edit posts mentioning this. I rolled back the edit (which I guess is why @nicael came here to ask) mainly because the edit changes the meaning of the answer, and its author is usually around so it's kind of rude.

I think that @Journeyman is wrong too and the next upvote won't cause the rep to be 200 again, but not sure about it.

7:44 PM

There was that bug recently where it isn't checking for downvotes/unupvotes before the rep cap is hit to recalculate... ?

user315433

I avoid all those problems by never repcapping.

8:15 PM

Anyone with better advice here?

user315433

If all questions are at least 6 months old, they should be able to post (the once-in-6-months rule).

Bart

Seems fair enough. Deletion is surely not going to help

user315433

But the newest is Oct 24, and it was a duplicate.

user315433

Earlier questions: "pip3 not installing in correct folder", "Trying to setup Python application, odd error", "ActionScript 3 / MXML : My code doesn't do anything", "Trying to install J3DView".

user315433

Maybe... Stack Overflow just isn't for you.

8:25 PM

yeah. Now they ask me to go over all their questions and tell what is wrong with them

user315433

They suck, that's what.

user315433

They are quasi-support questions thrown out into the void.
