@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog to be honest I don't feel comfortable with such a list, as it appears to be formal but it's not. I agree about apps 100%, which are officially frozen, and Area51 too, but as for chat we can't know for sure. The team might give it some boost all of a sudden.
And can't think of something additional to add there.
@πάνταῥεῖ well, no dogs for me but from what I've seen and heard, it's not good to let them eat anything, e.g. they can get sick at some point.
Specialized dog food isn't cheap, but guess it's the best fit for them... :)
This is burden in birthdays, as we must make two cakes every time: the traditional chocolate cake, plus non-chocolate cake for her, e.g. apple or orange cake.
One thing I've seen dogs and cats really like equally well is Leberwurst (Liverwurst?). But I'm not so sure it's healthy for them, because of the high fat content. Good to foist them any kind of medication though.
I used to use Stack Exchange a lot with an email-based login, but I haven't been active for a couple years. When I came here just now I had an Inbox with messages, and the trophy icon showed me a list of my achievements. So the site obviously knows who I am. But when I tried to join this communit...
I rarely if ever think "this question would have been great if only these small tweaks were made to it". More often it is "why would you even want to assign to the result of the addition operator, rather than to a variable" or "oh joy, another 1000 lines of code to find a missing right bracket in. I think I'll pass."
I am pretty sure many people (including the SE devs) are pretty confused regarding all that claims about inclusion, and how that could be managed better within the SE network.
As being a white, male, straight person it's probably hard for me to see those concerns at all.
Lots of white male straight people I've talked to seem to understand it just fine... it's a matter of being alert and knowing what to look out for. That takes some work and learning but it's not impossible... you just have to want to learn.
Though being a white, male, straight, I am first a human being, with some reflective and emphatic skills. The only thing is I probably never was a victim of exclusion regarding my skin color, gender or sexual orientation.
@SomewhatMemorableName Nah
It's almost for sure that some new users would feel offended if their "Thank you in advance" is edited out by someone, without given much more in depth information why so. They always been told that politeness will be helpful in interaction with other people, and now that: "You're posting irrelevant noise".
Let's make them sure what's actually relevant in 1st place.
The thing regarding inclusion is mostly a result of self-fulfilling prophecy most of the time IMO. These people would claim anything exclusive regarding their expectations and former experiences, no matter of what quality of their posts could be judged justifiaby.
@peterh I already was, yes. But I can get over that.
@peterh No, it isn't. We need to find a conscious way to leave such shit behind.
@JohnDvorak In other words: There's no "normal". Leave that behind, be emphatic, be helpful, be nice.
Normatives are the big fences and walls hindering anyone to make their own ways.
It just takes too much energy in reflecting if you still are within the normative, instead of simply doing what your guts are telling you that's good for you.
I am getting 54 tomorrow. I am pretty sure, there's better ways to waste the energy I am still left with.
I noticed that a specific user is leaving many comments that either violate the "Be Nice" policy or are otherwise not really acceptable as comments, on multiple network sites. It would be best if they were investigated all together, rather than separately on the sites. What should I do to report ...
Self-hatred (also called self loathing) refers to an extreme dislike or hatred of oneself, or being angry at or even prejudiced against oneself. The term is also used to designate a dislike or hatred of a group, family, social class, or stereotype to which one belongs and/or has. For instance, "ethnic self-hatred" is the extreme dislike of one's ethnic group or cultural classification. It may be associated with aspects of autophobia.
The term "self-hatred" is used infrequently by psychologists and psychiatrists, who would usually describe people who hate themselves as "persons with low self-esteem...
The least thing the ongoing inclusion discussion needs is self concentric whiners of either site.
Why does it matter who flagged the comment? Also, I'm pretty sure that moderator attention flags don't count for instant deletion... but that's a big leap. Either way, you've ignored what is the most obvious choice. — Catija52 mins ago
The alternative is to ping SE staffs here, as can be shown with ShadowWiz pinging SE staffs on here to nuke network-wide spammer, but that's probably too far-fetched for something that per-site mods can manage. So, yeah... I don't see why flagging 1 comment for mod attention is not the best choice while also mentioning that it's a network-wide behavior... since mods have their own chat room to communicate with other mods (TL)
@πάνταῥεῖ sure it does, big time. Ordinary developer can say all day long that he/she supports leaving "thanks" in posts and not editing it out, it has no effect. Joe on the other hand can make it into official policy and decide those who edit it out will be punished.
@SomewhatMemorableName well, it's not "SE staffs", rather single one who agreed to be pinged for that long ago, some kind of unofficial channel to nuke network wide spammers. I won't ping any other staff for such matter. :)
@SmokeDetector Also Wikipedia started to kill the not enough system-conform edits with AI. The result is not nice. The Wiki has luck, the content produced until now saves it, but the SE works differently. The problem is, if you narrow the people by killing the so-named "extremes", the result will still have its own "extremes", and the system re-organizes itself to create the intention to eliminate also them.
@JourneymanGeek Unless he is not a "perpetuum mobile AI" capable to develop itself, there is a NI behind it and it likely hears my complain. And ignores it.
And well, smokey's rules are designed to reduce false positives as much as possible and if we got legit posts flagged and mods heard of it, words would be had
