@YvetteColomb Yes he did, earlier one of his posts was vandalized with foul language, it came up in the queue and I scrubbed it out, then CM Catija made an edit - I presume that she nuked everything as I can not find it in MS and there's only a record of my edit but not what I edited at the link I provided.
@JourneymanGeek One sentence was changed to swearing and IIRC the user's name was anonymous. The edit and account were pointless, or for a single purpose, and so flush ....
We're really excited to announce the appointment of three new community moderators to Meta Stack Exchange! I know this might come as a really big surprise to some, and I can't wait to talk about it, but let's not delay the introductions any more. Please welcome ChrisF, Tinkeringbell and Journeyma...
I don't think it's a bug. I think it's just checking my ratio of votes on answers to votes on questions and seeing that I have many more votes on answers. But if so, it should be up front about that. Instead of saying "You haven't voted on questions in a while" it could say "You have voted for many more answers than questions", or something similar.
Maybe that's still a bug? Or a Feature Request to change the wording.
So there is this message that I saw for the first time today that says:
Welcome back! If you found this question useful, don't forget to vote
both the question and the answers up.
Here is a screenshot:
This message asks me to upvote the question and the answers if the question is usefu...
@Makoto exactly what a monster would say. Sarcasm aside, that's what's REALLY starting to rub me off with this whole welcoming shtick. New users are allowed to throw all kinds of tantrum, insult everyone along their way, be mean, disrespectful, and not care about this site or what made it a success over the years. But if they are a new user, they are absolved of most of this, simply because they are new users. Isn't that being MORE than welcoming? — PatriceNov 26 at 19:58
Point
"Everyone on SO iz hating nazi and I can be disrespectful because I have a new contributor shield"
On another note, there's a warm and fuzzy feeling to good meta posts from new users thanks to the wizard
In other words, can I safely click a spam link out of curiosity without risking them knowing I'm coming from SE (and thus spamming the site even harder)?
Thing is, if you try to spoof an IP (send a different source IP), then you're only sending a SYN packet. The server will reply with SYN+ACK to the source IP, which would be your router (not the spoofer), and your router will reply with an RST (saying "wtf I never sent out a SYN"), and the server would close the connection.
So you could in theory send a packet with a spoofed IP, but you could never open a connection with it because of how TCP works.
Sure they can fake it, by using a proxy server.
But that doesn't let them choose any address. It just routes their traffic through a proxy so the destination site sees the IP of the proxy server instead.
> I was tempted to use whole MFer insult except that I realized that these people probably do have sex with their mothers who feed them and change their diapers and don't consider that a bad thing.
pffft ahahahaha
Damn he's pissed!
> Oh wait, we're working with programmers, i.e., retards -- the type of people who will replace a light switch with UI that requires going into a control panel to dig into light settings to search through a database to find the light of interest and then do an SQL query to turn the light off...
:D
I totally understand that from a new user who doesn't know any rules.
@Rob both rejected edits can be seen in the timeline. You didn't have to edit anything, when suggested edit is not approved, the post doesn't change. (Your edit is empty)
Smokey doesn't catch suggested edits (yet?) so there's nothing indeed in Meta Smoke.
but it either needs the other side to be inept (and let them own a system in your network) "charitable" and allow you to, or well, have them as a customer
I was messing with some bitcoin scammer a few days ago on their "live support" for like an hour, pretending to be an 80 year old dude who has no idea how tech works.
The ones like that sec.se scammer's "hacking services" are the best though.
I tried contacting a scammer/spammer who claimed to be able to turn people into vampires for a nominal fee. They ignored me very shortly after I contacted them.
I have devised the most splendid means of utilizing any clothing that you reluctantly receive during this holiday break. You might just be able to get swag that you actually *want* instead.
Pro-tip: You're gonna want an account on http://meta.stackexchange.com.
It is the axe, now if someone has a question about "ban" in general, or they don't know which of the two are applicable, they won't have an umbrella tag.
If the question is about ASP.NET, then it should say asp.net
If the question is about Classic ASP, then it should say asp-classic
I can think of no valid reason to tag a question with asp. Let's get rid of it entirely.
I have tried to find "Hide questions in your ignored tags" in preferences as described in FAQ. I wasn't able to find it - maybe I missed it, maybe FAQ is outdated.
It is still possible to change this setting on the main site - after you click on edit ignored tags. Here is a conversation we had in chat about this: chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/9369/2018/12/27
Is it just me, or is this item really missing in the preferences?
I have edited the post about ignored tags at least to remove the information that it can be changed in preferences on profile page. Still, there is probably more there which is no longer true, For example: "In the tag’s tooltip, click on the star twice (or once, if you have favoured that tag)."
