@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog According to what Shog said earlier, just undeleting will already remove those votes.
It's an unrelated issue. If you want to talk about it, please use a post of your own.

1:31 AM
@Catija I was referring to the automatic "disputed low quality review" moderator flag that gets raised when a user undeletes their own post that got deleted in review.
Automatic flags get cleared when a post gets deleted. My point provides additional support to the point that users shouldn't be able to delete review-deleted posts.
@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog That's not really what I'm asking, though. It's not a feature request, it's a discussion. I'm not asking for it to change, I'm asking to understand why it is the way it is.
@Shog9 Has there been any consideration for getting that bug fixed?
If these undeletions are really that uncommon, the number of people abusing the auto flag like that has to be minuscule... it's just not on my radar.
Fixing that problem is irrelevant of whether someone should be able to undelete at all. That seems like a bug that needs to be addressed either way.
@Shog9 This was done not with low-quality posts in mind, but rather with the Roomba in mind.
yes, I remember
aside to (aside to (aside to (the question)))
1:42 AM
@Shog9 How about the above design flaw I mentioned?
That users can avoid detection by undeleting, re-deleting, and undeleting again?
@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog it can be fixed
but
it's happened
uh...
586 times on SO
and 362 of those times its been re-deleted
small potatoes
worth fixing, but not worth freaking out over
@Shog9 By the author?
yeah, that's not a lot really
see a few pages up about the tens of thousands of posts deleted via this path on SO in a year's time
those remaining 224 instances... That's all-time
that's over 4 years
it's like...
there's a way to get spam flags invalidated by posting something innocuous, then editing it to be spam, then rolling back, then editing it to be spam again
that loophole has existed for almost 10 years now
...spammers pretty much never do that.
@Shog9 Isn't there a rate limit for rolling back?
no
1:51 AM
IMO there should be
there are very few rate limits for editing in general
...i have talked in this room too much today. most of my backscroll is blue

@Shog9 Just one more question: why are users prevented from viewing specific off-topic close reasons or duplicate targets others have selected if they voted to close? They just see the top-level reason others selected, but not the specific reasons or targets.
Huh?
Are u asking why you can't dig through menues 8f you've already voted?
@Shog9 I voted to close this question as unclear. I now see that someone else has voted to close it as off-topic. However, the system won't let me click on "off-topic" to see what specific reason they selected.
2:04 AM
so what
you can't vote twice. Knowing what someone else voted buys you nothing.
This also applies where someone else has voted to close as duplicate (I can't click on "duplicate" to see the specific target they've selected), but that's less of a problem due to the automatic commenting (unless the original close voter deleted their comment).
@Shog9 Why allow me to view specific reasons if I haven't close voted, but disallow it if I've voted? Why was the decision made to implement it that way?
What's the reason behind the intentional decision to do that?
why would you ever need to know how anyone else has voted?

I'm a genuinely curious hedgehog
that's not what i asked
2:09 AM
wait.... blue?
@Shog9 if they were smart enough to do more than post hit and run crap... they wouldn't be spamming
@JourneymanGeek Your own chat messages appear in blue highlighting...
ah, I forgot ;p
this PC has porkchat installed
Mine does too...
@JourneymanGeek What's that?
browser addon.
2:14 AM
browser extention that does a dark theme for chat
for some odd reason I can't get userstyles to work and its easier
Lots of various chat things...
Some of them are mod-only.
I don't use the dark theme... there was something about it I ended up not liking...
I might disable it, it looks kinda bad in mobile mode so I can't do my vivaldi chat as sidebar thing
2:28 AM
@Shog9 There are some relatively rare edge cases where knowing the other votes might be helpful. Somewhat contrived SO example: you've voted for "General computing", but the post has been edited such that it now makes for a viable migration candidate to SU. While you might want to keep your vote in place to help close it sooner, if the voting becomes 2 for General Computing and 2 for migration to SU, then retracting your CV is required for there to be a possibility for it to be migrated to SU.
OTOH, if the votes are 1 for General Computing and 3 for migration, then it's still possible for it to be migrated, if the 5th vote is for migration. These two situation are identical from the first page of the CV-dialog, so being able to click-through to at least the OT panel is needed to distinguish them. But, to be honest, the desire to see that information is mostly because inquiring minds want to know. Adding (userscript) the ability to click-through to the other panels was relatively easy.

A: Allow new users to flag comments on their own posts

Shog9I've been thinking about this all week, and doing a bit of research... Here are my current thoughts: "if you're allowed to comment on a post, you're allowed to flag comments on that post, too." - this is subtly different from what's proposed in the title, but it's an important difference and I ...

@Makyen Can you please post that user script on Stack Apps?
@Shog9 is that supposed to work that you can ask on meta about your answer. I assumed it only worked for questions?
not really, but apparently it does
:|
Okay, so the confusion is mutual then ;)
4:57 AM
I guess...
...arguably...
...this is just a perfect storm of errors
You need a bug report for that? I can write one if needed
ask question... in an answer... go to meta... post question about question in answer... edit meta question to be ACTUAL QUESTION which still resides in answer on main.
@rene I think no amount of fixing will fix whatever mindset led to this
status-hopeless

lol
@Makyen If the question is off-topic on SU and the scenario you describe here applies, you can ask someone to prevent migration by casting a normal close vote.
@Catija According to that MSO post, yes.

Q: Facebook Stack Overflow?

user152229Somehow I found the Facebook Stackoverflow site, with the icon being the regular Stack Overflow icon with a facebook icon on top of it: Is it an easter egg? If so, how does it differ from the original Stack Overflow site?

@NogShine its probably outdated and slightly broken at this point
It just redirects to the SO wildcard tag
5:29 AM
ok, after reading that answer, I got a doubt. If we are adding FB as a login credential and update profile picture there, our avatar also updates here. Does this happen with our google+ too?
zat I don't know
I see many new users getting an avatar with first alphabet as their name just like default google+ profile picture.
I think this is new.
6:27 AM
[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Bad NS for domain in answer: Wireless Headphones? by user24951 on sound.SE
@NogShine it should import Facebook/Google+ profile pic and display name once when creating new account. If it's doing it when adding login to existing account, it's a bug.

@rene why since 5:30???

you're very... dedicated.
What's the rush? Why not doing it in more... sane... schedule?
user310756
@ShadowWizard i read that as "you're very... delicate"
Starting so early probably makes you tired, so efficiency is hurt. No? @rene
@YvetteColomb this too, sure! :D
@ShadowWizard well, this conversion takes about 6 to 8 hours and the customer don't want to do it in the night or weekend. So when they come in I have to make sure everything is ready.

@rene oh. "your system"... sounds nice. how much it cost? ;)
@YvetteColomb yeah, let's start with pens!
@ShadowWizard 50% of what they payed for their previous system. (that is our marketing strategy but in all honesty I don't do the contract negotiations so I don't know actual pricing)

I'm sure that amazement goes back as far as people could read and write whole words ;p

nah, talking about the fact they're busy 24/7 writing "lol", "rofl' and silly icons on their phones...
That' pretty new.
Amusingly enough, there's a running joke over how often I say lol on chat
@JourneymanGeek but you also say more words... the "youngsters" don't.

Hi, can you help me? Is my question unclear, or why it does not get much attention for all these days? stackoverflow.com/questions/50865935/…
@modiX I think not that many users will host their own appstore. Last time I played with that was in 2011 and it was hard if not impossible and back then hardly documented.
@modiX Quesions often go unanswered until the right person comes across it. There are thousands of questions without answers, just waiting for the right person to come along and answer it, through no fault of the question itself.
@modiX Your question looks OK-ish to me and I guess is answerable for anyone who had done this before.

Thanks for the feedback, I decided to add a bounty, hopefully anybody can find a way, I'm absolutely clueless why this does not work.

@ShadowWizard which is odd
2:31 PM
@SomewhatMemorableName say again
I've had contact with almost every CM
even the russian one
@JourneymanGeek maybe he's not good with English, so prefer to stick only on ja.SO and not be exposed to other sites where he'll be required to use English.

So... no sleep tonight?
@rene how possible is it to do a SEDE query to find out how many suggested edits people have by the time they reach 2000 reputation? I'm actually sort of curious if anyone has gotten the full 1000 reputation from suggested edits before they hit 2k.
well... it isn't possible to make a suggested edit after 2k, right?
so a count of suggested edits should be good enough
Actually, you can do them for Tag wikis.
They're both listed under "edit suggestions" on your profile page, so I'm not sure if they're tracked differently.
3:48 PM
ah, i wouldn't know, i have 0 suggestions in my profile :p
@Catija The anonymous editor might have.
But they don't get rep for it... which is the point.

Joe Friend on June 21, 2018

Back in late Spring, we posted “Stack Overflow Isn’t Very Welcoming. It’s Time for That to Change.” We know it’s all too common for companies to announce they really want to do a thing, and then… not much happens. So, it is time to share the work we’ve been doing behind the scenes and how our team of data scientists, developers, long term community managers, and UX specialists will continue iterating on our plans for the future.

This new workflow should help new askers craft questions more successfully with less stress. Each step gathers specific input that’s generally needed to help answerers. …

Ironically the example in that blog of what to ask is a horrible example
Sorry Joe but that question would still get closed ASAP
At least somethings are done
@Catija this is a start data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/865664 I'll still have to add the estimate for the reputation
4:17 PM
Honestly, it's been a long time for me to quickly open and read an SE blog post and had high expectation.
Instead of the unwelcoming blog post (quickly open and left with bitter feeling)
and the rest of SO Teams blog post etc (lazily open)
@Mgetz Isn't that just for the first part of the answer field? "Summarize the problem"... presumably moving through the other sections adds different details.
@Catija Overly broad thesis declarations in general result in over broad questions. There could be a thousand different places each for a different web framework. I'm trying to avoid nit picking that specific statement other than to say it's overly broad
Maybe I'm missing what you're talking about... the example in the yellow box with the green tick mark?

5:47 PM
@AnneDaunted Nope. I'm almost done fully going through all the anonymous edits and seeing which ones are mine, but there are more than 300 and fewer than 400 approved edits. To hit the cap, one needs to make 500 non-deleted suggested edits.
@Catija Maybe I should change my name back to "Ano", so you know who I am.
@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog ... ? Why do you think that I don't?
6:02 PM
@Catija Because you used words that implied you didn't.
@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog No... I didn't. The entire point of my query to rene was users who get 1000 rep from edit suggestions. Anonymous users don't earn rep for edit suggestions... as such, the point about the Anonymous Editor (you) didn't really relate to my query.
@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog I thought you might have been a good candidate because you wrote "Even if I started off with a totally new account, I would eventually gain enough rep to edit them directly." For sure, doesn't mean you gained that rep solely through suggested edits, but it could've been.
6:19 PM
@AnneDaunted FAQ posts are Community Wiki, so I can get enough rep to edit them with just suggesting edits.
