Can an employee please confirm if this is indeed the same bug as this? It was posted hours after the latter was marked status-completed, so I'm not sure if it's either a new bug or just that the build to fix the older one hasn't rolled out yet.
Never mind, was my mistake. I didn't notice that the question was asking "why was this happening earlier, but not now".

@SonictheIntrovertedHedgehog That pattern looks like it's already caught by Blacklisted website in body and Blacklisted website in answer; append -force if you really want to do that.
Just now, when I went to delete one of my comments, I noticed the normal "X" to delete it was replaced by the actual word "delete":
Is this a bug? If not, why was it changed?
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ you could go with [insert staff member here, can't remember who] 's theory: no need for delete since if they don't post no one will see their profiles.
Google search results will still get poisoned by them... but why worry? -_-'

@Feeds Speaking of social media, a noted expert on the subject was recently quoted on Twitter a few times.

Why did the hacker ask the OP to create an account from the phone??? Anyway, if the hacker could see that the OP closed the email, then the hacker could also see the OP asking the question on there -_-;
So... hypothetically, a mod can rename their own username bypassing 30-days restriction?
(just thinking a weird, crazy, and potentially abusive idea of a mod promoting their own site's election on their own username, then change back to previous username after the election is over...)
Android's question collection is so pointless. The only question that should be asked on that site (also, on Data Science) is "do you want to be a mod"? If a candidate answers "yes" they get a diamond.
I saw Garfunkel in concert in San Antonio ~15 years ago or so and he performed Mrs. Robinson but changed Joe DiMaggio to David Robinson.... a bit of local pandering that is somewhat confusing, considering the song.
user302202
Where have you gone, David Robinson? is quite apropos for SO.
@KevinB unfortunately yes. I know that your one comment was intended to be funny (“waiting for more”) but I had to flag it as rude/unkind. As you must agree that it will be perceived as this.
@rene It was already locked for 20 seconds before the vote changed; a vote change would trigger an error message if a user hadn't reloaded the page though.
@SterlingArcher At lower rep levels when just a few points make the difference between having and not having a privilege, people tend to take downvotes as "why u take my rep away with no explanation?"
@SonictheIntrovertedHedgehog I know this. I had been at this level not so long ago. @M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ It probably is. I still don’t like downvoted but they feel less bad now.
There are multiple sources stating downvotes aren't attacks. If you're a person who can't handle negative reactions ... well these problems will follow you
At some point lines need to be drawn in social interactions
@MEEisJohannGambolputty... I mean, THAT particular feeling kept lingering on after the thousandth rep, but I just realized it's less actionable than I thought it is
I don't think they're rationally evaluating what percentage of the rep was gone. Just that it was.
Especially cheaply made syringes that put a whole new meaning to "the pen . . . icillin is sharper than the sword"
@KevinB I think it's the time of the year when folks are generally around for this type of thing so there's a compounding effect and a post that would've ended up with -3 ends up with -12
But I don't think the downvotes in themselves were out of the ordinary
People generally downvote site rec questions that would be OT anywhere
I don't get it, and I've never/rarely ever voted that way, but eh, happens.
The idea of negative reputation is certainly not intended to be a barrier to any earnest attempt to participate, even if that attempt is to propose an idea that's very likely to be unpopular. I wouldn't call it an oversight either, because we're aware of the problems users encounter when learning...
> seeing something you put some time into writing up and explaining get decorated with dozens of down-votes is far from encouraging
Imo, downvotes should be introduced at the same time as upvotes (10), and explained well at that point in time, rather than not explaining what downvotes are for till much later (125).
@Catija -24 on a five-hour post here usually tells me almost everyone that was gonna form an opinion on the question before it drowned in Javascript questions has
A downvote here really means people disagree with your idea or think it is not useful. But because of what the system does, the ending effect is "this idea is so bad, whoever proposed it should lose rep". And new users treat it that way.
@SonictheIntrovertedHedgehog If I had a question so detail-oriented, I would ask here first, and if I didn't get an answer after the Shadow Wizard Dupe Machine 9000 or the Rene model were done searching, then I'd ask on main

So when we talk about time periods, it's easier to discuss them them as either sliding windows (adding 7 days to right now puts us at UTC 22:11 on February 8th)
@Shog9 So, which particular one is used for the 50-question-per-30-days limit? A sliding window, or relative to a fixed period beginning at UTC 0:00 30 days earlier?
I noticed that I can only perform certain actions such as commenting a finite number of times in a given period of time. Obviously, rate limiting is in place to prevent accidental misuse or intentional abuse of certain features.
Where else is rate limiting applied on Stack Exchange sites, and wh...
Yes it does, and clearly so. This is your 50th question, when sorting by creation date, and it was posted on Feb 25 at 14:52. Take 30 days from that time, meaning you should be able to ask your next question on March 27, 2015 at 14:52. And I'm not a moderator, just have a gold badge in support as clearly indicated in the tooltip of the gold icon. — Shadow WizardMar 26 '15 at 13:43
All I'm wondering, is if the 30 day timer that one has after submitting 50 questions lasts for 30 calender days, or exactly 720 hours from when the question was asked.
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ Huh, never saw that. It didn't show up as a possible duplicate when I initially asked my meta question that got heavily downvoted, neither was it proposed as a dupe at that time.
However, this doesn't give the detail available by time or post. How can I get access to that data? Anyone know?
The graph is an easy approach since the entire user history is available on that page. The time/post pages are broken up into sub-pages, so not easily scrapable.
If you wanted to make a useful clarifying edit there, add a section that spells out the difference between sliding window limits (1 day == 24 hours == etc) and per-day limits (1 day == until 0:00 the next day). Most of the base limits are per-day, while most of the rate-limits are sliding.
@Werner I'd assume the SE API endpoints for users/{ids}/reputation* provides the information you're looking for. However, I haven't used them, so I'm not sure exactly what they provide. The users/{ids}/reputation-history endpoint looks to have what you want. Obviously, you'll need to sort them into whatever organization you are wanting.
@Makyen True. I just had a look... you can extract content, but it is limited in a similar fashion to what you see online. Private events aren't available since it's user-specific.
@Werner that graph does an AJAX request out to https://meta.stackexchange.com/ajax/users/168244/rep/day/1546905600?sort=time&showFullDates=true when you click on a bar. I imagine that's generalizable with some thought
That appears to be .../rep/day/:timestamp, where :timestamp is the timestamp at 00:00:00 on the day you want history for.
@Makyen There is not time-of-day information. One thing I was interested in is to see what the reputation would look like if there was no rep cap imposed.
In order to do that, I was hoping to identify reputation elements that were counted as 0 reputation, reversing them to their original contribution and then aggregating.
@ArtOfCode Thanks. That might be easier that what I'm doing currently.
It's HTML format not JSON, which doesn't help, but if you put together a JS script that you can run from the console, then you can jQuery it to get DOM access
@Werner In one request? No, you have to make multiple requests, one page at a time. You just keep going until has_more is false, and, of course, delay if you get a backoff.
@Makyen Actually, getting a backoff needs to be implemented as a both a delay and retry. You definitely need retry if you choose to have more than one request in flight at a time. My experience is that even if you obey a backoff, some of the requests which are already in flight will receive error responses. In addition, even after the backoff delay new requests (and some of the additional that you've put in flight) will often get another backoff and the rest errors again.
This process can have multiple backoff->delay->restart->backoff cycles. My experience is that 4 or 5 cycles is typical, but then things will run normally for a while, but then that will once again happen.
I'll experiment with that when I have some time available.
Using a web page scraping technique limits me to one user every 2-3 seconds... meaning a script would have to run for days to accumulate content for an entire site.
