Hello! This meta post mentions "A question with an accepted answer isn't as likely to receive further attention as one without an accepted answer.". I know that sounds just right, however, has there been actual statistical research into this? Do we actually know for sure that - on average - views on questions with quick accepted answers are less than - say half - of those with not quick accepted answers? Thanks!

@GaurangTandon Someone with SEDE skills may be able to answer that for you?

Apparently I pocket-bought an audiobook... weird. Got notified of the purchase out of the blue... granted, it's the author narration for the book I had opened in Kindle app, but I haven't used the app all day.

user315433

Luckily, the book was Tenth of December so no real regrets. Changed Amazon password just in case.

@ShadowWizard a meta post, posted on the main site, migrated to meta, but then closed, thus got returned back to the main site. (the timestamp just to hide the obvious reference to the post, even though it's still findable manually)

@JourneymanGeek fair point

And heh. Very interesting voting spread on that. And I do think I need to clean up the question a little more.

Sonic Wizard

@JourneymanGeek Shog once said that for Community deletions, it's important that users know and understand the specific criteria that caused their question to be Roomba'd.

Also, if a mod deleted one of my posts, I'd want to know from them why they deleted my post, as opposed to unsubstantiated speculation from other users. Remember my prior example of animuson deleting my positively-voted user215114 post?

HTTPS

4:00 AM

@JourneymanGeek One more thing that I'm concerned is: what if the OP brings it to meta asking about the detailed reason for the deletion? Sometimes other users can chime in to guess, but only the voters themselves know the reason. In the end, they have to declare they're the voters..?

No one is here to witness me training my autonomous (toy) car :'( 😥😓😰😢😭 ... But luckily I have 3 chicks, I can have a (forced) supportive crew of three! 🐓💖☺️😆😂😄🤣

@SurajJain feel free ;)

user202362

that's after you have successfully trained your car ... and chicks :p

@GaurangTandon sorry, no statistic, but I think "further attention" more-or-less means "users who only want to answer (to get rep)".... and some users do only care about non-accepted questions on their questions list.

Journeyman Geek

@HTTPS I'm not actually worried about that since at that point they're clearly going through the proper channels and obvious trolls are obvious

and I've on occasion answered for other mods

@JonEricson very nice answer

user310756

@TelKitty I think I'm dying of exhaustion! :D and I can't go online tonight I used up all the data I bought

Journeyman Geek

@YvetteColomb :(

It'll be worth it in the end?

user310756

yes indeedn

user310756

she's getting close. She's bothered by having her belly touched at all. I thought she may be going to have the baby today/tonight

Meh. Wrong fp feedback is no big deal.

user315433

And it makes more sense to optimize for correct actions, not for mistaken ones.

Sonic Wizard

@SFTP In that specific instance, I got a stern ping for it, because it was conflicting feedback and false-positive feedback on an autoflagged post.

@TelKitty woah, can't wait for the result!

@TelKitty Robotics is something I'm interested in. A while ago I captained a team that made it to 2nd place in a local autonomous robot competition

One insidious way I used to get attention for bug reports in the age of anonymously editing: put "this is a known bug" into the FAQ

HTTPS

You can downvote without commenting (this is a known bug)

Journeyman Geek

or a known feature.

Sonic Wizard

@HTTPS I'd describe the bug in the FAQ, then link to the bug report with "this is a known bug" in the title. My hope was that others reading the FAQ (or reviewing my edits) would come across the bug report and get attention for it.

Journeyman Geek

That's.... not the point of a FAQ

the point of a FAQ is to find common things people need.

Not point people at bug reports

:(

Sonic Wizard

5:37 AM

@JourneymanGeek That's why I said...insidious

Journeyman Geek

Also kinda abusive of the system

@HTTPS so why sad? Looks like typical off topic rant being closed, doesn't really matter where it was originally posted... those who migrated should have voted to close as off topic instead.

Since you don't want to share what question is was, can't really judge how bad it really is/was.

@TelKitty bug spelling typo in folder name: should be "useful stuff for server admin".

@SurajJain be quick, their names will change soon enough. ;)

@SonicWizard no emerald was needed after all

Sonic Wizard

@ShadowWizard Not true, you used Chaos Control on it

Shadow Wizard

@SonicWizard while sleeping? Doubt it... my powers are turned off when I sleep.

Sonic Wizard

@ShadowWizard You edited the duplicate links; that requires a Chaos Emerald.

Shadow Wizard

@SonicWizard oh, you mean that, lol... yup.

I wouldn't have used the hammer to close as dupe of the merge faq, but it does fit as secondary dupe.

@ShadowWizard that's why I don't like to share screenshots in public or self made apps with friends - someone somewhere ... will find a misspell somewhere :'(

Shadow Wizard

@SFTP reddit.com/r/pokemongo/comments/4wcjxj/…

Must admit, first time hearing "pocket bought"... so far heard about undesired calls made this way, leading to funny moments... ;)

rene

@TelKitty that they find it is not the problem ... the urge to tell you about it is ...

Shadow Wizard

My device requires swiping the screen to open it, so far didn't happen while inside my pocket.

Journeyman Geek

I set mine to use a pin or face/finger rec cause I kept butt dialing ;p

Shadow Wizard

@JourneymanGeek pin is headache, I never used it

Journeyman Geek

7:04 AM

@ShadowWizard but its needed for the latter

Shadow Wizard

And still never owned a device with finger print scanner, I'm bit behind. lol

Journeyman Geek

and finger scanning is nice if its a front scanner

OP's face rec is fast

hm

I tend to buy 'nicer' phones lately so the last two have had em

Shadow Wizard

@JourneymanGeek since I consider phone as device for making calls, mainly, and maybe have some fun as the secondary target, I don't spend much money on that, and buy the cheap models.

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizard heh, I use mine as an internet box mainly

Shadow Wizard

I find it much easier doing from computer.

@TelKitty so don't share.... or remove everything but the relevant part of the screenshot.... ;)

Did you fix the typo? :D

Journeyman Geek

7:07 AM

(also the OP 3 was decent value for what I got, and I loved it enough I replaced it when a op5T when it broke... twice...

Shadow Wizard

I saw more than once screenshots posted on programming forums which contained desktop folders like "porn" or "xxx", lol

Journeyman Geek

lol

Just name it something innocent

like "stuff"

Shadow Wizard

Don't think on SE though... people there are just too careful. ;)
