and he kept doing it...

within a year? Twas a wasteland

Anne Daunted

Who wouldn't have left?

Journeyman Geek

Well, precisely

Also, he died. Heart attack

too damned young for that.

Shadow Wizard

:(

Anne Daunted

sad story

Journeyman Geek

Well, true

But Chevy taught me how not to be a mod ;)

@AnneDaunted mostly true, other than the names ;)

sorry(?) for interrupting yer conversations, but... I was surprised knowing that mods are possible to see someone's reviewing activity time?

> In the last thirty days, your average review duration in the Late Answers queue was only 6.6 seconds.

Journeyman Geek

hmm

linkie?

@SomewhatMemorableName most of the time we don't really bother ;p

@JourneymanGeek ell.meta.stackexchange.com/a/4735/11157 (one-box stopper)

Shadow Wizard

@SomewhatMemorableName Probably some stat buried deep inside their tools... what's wrong with it?

Journeyman Geek

ahh

ya it is

Shadow Wizard

6.6 for review isn't too fast, IMO. This alone shouldn't be cause for review ban.

Journeyman Geek

2:07 PM

@SomewhatMemorableName practically speaking Its usually not worth it to dig into that level - we just let the autobans handle it

Somewhat Memorable Name

@ShadowWizard curious™

Journeyman Geek

I'd assume that the ban was automatic

and they dug up the statistic to support that

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowWizard For Late Answers or First Posts? I find that very quick... Usually there's something that needs to be done :/

Journeyman Geek

also lol

I got review banned before.

As a mod.

Twice

Fabby

@Mithrandir :D :D :D A day in a mod's life: Today I had to deal with a killer ghost bot, so you... [smack] daemon... [kick] don't... [kill] frighten [kill -9] *me!

Journeyman Geek

2:13 PM

The really funny part was... I didn't realise I could unban myself

(This is during one of the periods where they tweaked the thresholds and the queues got big - I was trying to help clear them out)

Anne Daunted

@Tinkeringbell Me, too. But maybe it depends on the Stack.

Fabby

@Tinkeringbell Late answers is easy: Or it's ~~shit~~ not very good, or it's gold... nothing much in-between?

Tinkeringbell

@Fabby Might be what Anne said about it depending on the Stack, but on IPS we'd like answers to actually add something that hasn't been said already. And since the average question on IPS gets 5 answers... Reading 6 answers in 6 seconds is fast :P

Somewhat Memorable Name

On quiet site, you notice the new posts from 'active' tab long before they get into the review posts

Fabby

@JourneymanGeek It's also not very logical that you can unban yourself... You should ask another mod to unban you...

Journeyman Geek

2:18 PM

@Fabby oh, I did that ;p

I also waited for the suspension to end the first time XD

Fabby

@Tinkeringbell One second per answer is fast, but 6.6 seconds sounded about right...

@Tinkeringbell and if IPS is Interpersonal Skills, then yes, it's less exact than AU...

@JourneymanGeek :D :D :D

Going to see how my food is doing!

Somewhat Memorable Name

Thus, I can cheat by reading the posts outside of review queue, then get into review queue and do the expected actions without reading the post

Anne Daunted

@Fabby better: "more complex"

Journeyman Geek

actually

ANOTHER user asked for me to be unreview banned XDXDXDXD

Fabby

@AnneDaunted English is only my third or fourth language, depending on how you count, so please keep correcting me and thanks for this one!

Somewhat Memorable Name

2:21 PM

Mod: I review-ban myself so that y'all should do your frickin' tasks!

Fabby

@AnneDaunted Also, I'm an exact scientist, so that's what popped up in my feeble brain... ;-)

@JourneymanGeek Huh? Review unbanned you mean?

Journeyman Geek

@Fabby er that

Fabby

or asked to be banned from reviewing?

Journeyman Geek

no

Fabby

@JourneymanGeek :D :D :D

Food!!!

Journeyman Geek

2:23 PM

He asked for me to be unbanned

Fabby

@JourneymanGeek Yup, got it...

You should get some more sleep!

Journeyman Geek

alas

night shift again

oh well

Somewhat Memorable Name

ugh, night shift on Sunday?

Journeyman Geek

lol yup

Fabby

Tinkeringbell

2:24 PM

@Fabby Yeah, so if you go looking for duplicate answers you'd probably spend about 30 seconds. (also, I personally find that on a subjective site, the rule that good subjective questions invite long answers over short ones is important, and I've never met a long answer I could read in 6 seconds :P )

Fabby

Not full moon yet!!!

You need sleep now!

Journeyman Geek

@Fabby I can sleep when I'm ~~dead~~ after my shift ;p

Fabby

@Tinkeringbell Duplicates are more difficult IMHO...

Tinkeringbell

@Fabby Yep, they are...

Fabby

@Tinkeringbell :D :D :D

Petter Friberg

2:25 PM

@Mithrandir :D, yeah please leave me out of your recipes.

Tinkeringbell

But that's what you'd go looking for on late answers :P

Journeyman Geek

anyway

Fabby

I didn't read far enough to see the joke at the end! ;-)

Journeyman Geek

I'm almost 3 months into a 12 month contract ;)

If I can find something better/saner then, we'll see?

Fabby

@PetterFriberg You don't like nutmeg?

FOOD! BRB

Tinkeringbell

2:28 PM

@Fabby Enjoy :)

Petter Friberg

2:44 PM

@Fabby I have no clue what that is, but as long as I'm not part of the recipes... feel free to enjoy it :)

Nutmeg man!

Muskotsläktet

Muskotsläktet (Myristica) är ett växtsläkte i familjen muskotväxter. Släktet omfattar cirka 80 arter av städsegröna träd. Släktnamnet Myristica kommer av grekiskans myron som betyder balsam eller salva. == Källor == Shenet - muskot Wikimedia Commons har media som rör Muskotsläktet....

Macis

Il macis (chiamato anche mace o fiore della noce moscata) è una spezia culinaria, originaria delle isole Molucche. Si tratta di una parte del frutto del Myristica fragrans Gronov., un albero sempreverde, che può raggiungere l'altezza di 20 m. In particolare il macis è la parte interna del frutto (endocarpo) e riveste il seme, che costituisce la più conosciuta noce moscata, un'altra spezia ottenuta dalla medesima pianta. Il macis è di color rosso brillante nel frutto fresco; diventa di colore arancio con l'essiccazione. == Usi == Il macis, dal sapore più delicato della noce moscata, è utilizzato...

@PetterFriberg ---^

Journeyman Geek

was gonna say, same plant

Fabby

Yup, it's the nut itself and the peel: both are used, but apparently in Italy the peel is mostly used and in Sweden, the nut!

Journeyman Geek

Well more the covering of the seed

3:14 PM

I suceesfully feed a 1-year dupe, multiple-commented question into 1-year roomba by mod-flagging it requesting for comment clean-up...

Anyway, currently 194 helpful and 48 declined comment flags. Hmm...

Mithrandir

@SomewhatMemorableName If you like comment flagging, come on over to Interpersonal Skills ;)

any comment not requesting clarification/improvement can be flagged

Tinkeringbell

Ooh, there's a pending comment flag? :D

Mithrandir

apparently not anymore

oh @Tink want me to just put that flag that's been pending since April on meta, since apparently y'all can't decide? :P

Tinkeringbell

3:31 PM

@Mithrandir Do you really have to ask me that like that, in here? :P There's a whole bunch of NAA flags we still need to get to, since that back up policy debacle

Mithrandir

@Tinkeringbell *raises eyebrow* here's as good a place as any, but I'll take that as a "no"

Tinkeringbell

@Mithrandir Just thought it might be a good idea not to flood this room with IPS Stuff ;)

It's the MSE room after all

Mithrandir

eh, chat was made to go off-topic

Fabby

And no one's complaining... :-)

This is not a complaint ---^

Journeyman Geek

;p

@Tinkeringbell True and you don't always want to talk mod stuff in public, especially outside those spaces meant for the site ;p

@Mithrandir ^

Tinkeringbell

3:43 PM

@Fabby Heh... guess I'm just too careful then. Been in rooms where people didn't even want to speak the sites name ;)

Journeyman Geek

The site that shalt naught be named?

Tinkeringbell

@JourneymanGeek Yeah I know, I need to get a hang of the whole 'say just enough and never too much' thing XD :P

@JourneymanGeek Sort-of, yeah ;)

Journeyman Geek

@Tinkeringbell that takes practice

and lol, and I know all about chat-abuse

Mithrandir

@JourneymanGeek I've been guilty of it many times ;)

Shog9

4:44 PM

Important thing to remember is that in a tavern folks are prone to speaking the truth, even if they shouldn't and even when you'd rather they didn't... So be careful what you ask for.

Fabby

It's Sunday! Shoo! Go sit in the sun! Have a beer!

Journeyman Geek

lol

Somewhat Memorable Name

Did you mean "beach tavern"?

Journeyman Geek

tavern on the beach?

Somewhat Memorable Name

Let's meta on the beach instead...

@shadow @sonic: since y'all went and closed this question as a duplicate of a post referenced in the question itself as inadequate...

...I want you two to go answer your original with a satisfactory answer. Do your research. Ping me with your results.

@Shog9 Why delete your answer?

15 hours ago, by Shadow Wizard

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog usually I'd close the other way around when there's official answer, but Shog's post isn't really an answer, so yeah... emerald used as requested. The answer in the dupe is much better than Shog's.

I don't know what y'all are up to, but if you need more info on answer bans you're going about it the wrong way. Read the questions you're working with, please.

Now... Go answer that duplicate you picked.
