Hi there. Is there a known bug/by-design about caching and user removal? I've obviously tried browsing meta, but found nothing. The main "user was removed" post meta.stackexchange.com/a/126471/398063 doesn't seem to tackle it, either. I'm reluctant about asking it on Meta because it's so murky I'm not even sure how to phrase it, plus... That may "out" a removed user.

Basically, a user (well, actually, several, but the rep changes were only one so I'm thinking only one voted on my posts) was removed earlier today on a site I'm active on. As I'm curious, I checked my posts to see which one lost score, no apparent change from the score I remembered. Yes, I did blame caching.

Catija

@Jenayah "earlier today" that only runs once a day if it's what I'm thinking. Try viewing the vote split on one of the questions you think they voted on.

Jenayah

TBH that voting irregularity was something that I kinda saw coming due to some pattern on which ones of my posts were UVed but not the problem... The point being, I had a hunch which ones were likely to have been removed UV

The thing is, I seem to be able to "force" the correction manually.

Catija

Yes. Viewing the split forces a recalculation immediately.

Jenayah

How to explain... I have an answer that is at +11 on my profile, and I'm kinda certain it was voted on by removed user. I open it up, it's still at 11. I view the vote counts, it shows the...

...oh well you answered :)

Catija

It'll get fixed sometime tonight. I forget what time.

Was wondering how to explain how to reproduc on Meta as I only had 5 tries left... ;p

Catija

It's known/by design. There may be a report somewhere but I'm not sure where.

Jenayah

@Catija sorry for the bother then. n_n"

Catija

No need to apologize. 😃

@JourneymanGeek did you see my post on Hinduism meta?

Being a CM should be accustomed to saying "y'all"? :D

Not yet

That's one spot I'll stick to consulting on request

So I'll take a look ;p

Looks good to me @Catija

I would like to know which of the moderators keep suspending me? I wrote an appeal for my suspended to be lifted and got no response.

user312109

I put in a new appeal "I believe I was wrongfully suspended from Physics.SE. The edits I made had a positive impact and received up votes, I only up voted and

user312109

edited posts that made in error, and should not be suspended for privileges that everyone else have. Why after my last suspension why wasn't I warned these privileges were not extended to me? Please lift my suspension and allow me to have the same privileges that other users have. Can someone write be back and

user312109

let me know if this was read? " Is it possible that a moderator is abusing their power in my situation. Regardless of my past behavior do I not have the same privileges after a suspension as everyone else or not?

user312109

I patiently waited all year and tip toed on Physics.SE and still got suspended???

@Shog9 can you tell me?

user312109

who?

4 different mods and a cm thus far. More if you count mods on non-physics sites

Journeyman Geek

Well the contact us Link. That said you've had a history of stuff like that so... Maybe it's a good idea to calm down and actually reflect on what's gone wrong

user312109

I did nothing wrong and I have been good

user312109

Bookends

I thought you got the answer on meta Physics yesterday?

user312109

I will take a look but I still don't think I did anything to Warrant a full year suspension

user312109

03:24

Somebody could have told me if I even burp I'll get suspended

Journeyman Geek

Right. You may need a little longer to calm down...

Bookends

04:10

Apparently, as far as I can see, 3 mods on Physics have publicly shown (on meta & comments) that they were aware about the situation, so I'm not sure the chance of your appeal

Meanwhile... some of your questions got into HNQ on other sites, so... why don't you enjoy other sites first while waiting for the Physics? :)

According to my snakes, spring has most definitely sprung and they'd all quite like to show their funky stuff to the snek in the viv next door. Much glass-dancing is happening.

@SonictheIntrovertedHedgehog 87 posts with UserVoice links; 34 links can be repaired directly, for 25 there's a (unformatted) version kept in the Wayback Machine, 37 links are forever buried in the dark depths of the Internet. Details here

Sonic the Introverted Hedgehog

@Glorfindel It would be nice to also fix the broken links that were mistakenly removed from posts.

Glorfindel

True, but that will be harder to do automatically. I can't just roll back to an old version if substantial changes have been made later on.

This was just to give you an idea of the size of the operation.

@Glorfindel Is it possible to search older revisions of posts, though?

Glorfindel

@SonictheIntrovertedHedgehog certainly, you have to fetch the revision list and then read the body or the markdown. The script doesn't do that yet, though.

They even say it will contain “twitter.com.” and not “twitter.com/”

Although that can be blamed on the stupid placement of punctuation after quotes in certain languages.

A: How should I punctuate around quotes?

The British put them outside the quotes, which seems much more logical. The American style is to put the punctuation inside the quotes. The American version is often known as "Typesetter's Quotes". As you can see, I go with the British version, at least in informal writing. Interesting fact:...

"This is a quote.".

Whoops, I have reached my quote quota limit

user302202

Still to candidates in Freelancing election, nominations supposedly close in 2 days.

user302202

Are there any freelancing moderators out there?

user302202

Given that the site is full of advice on how not to get duped into working for free... the lack of candidates is not so surprising.

Bookends

It's not free... you will get... a swag!

swag

Verb: swag (third-person singular simple present swags, present participle swagging, simple past and past participle swagged)

(intransitive and transitive) To sway; to cause to sway.
(intransitive) To droop; to sag.
(Can we find and add a quotation of Sir H. Wotton to this entry?)Palsgrave
I swag as a fat person's belly swaggeth as he goeth.
(transitive) To decorate (something) with loops of draped fabric.

Noun: swag (plural swags)

(window coverings) A loop of draped fabric.
2005, Alan Hollinghurst, The Line of Beauty, Bloomsbury Publishing, page 438:
He looked in bewilderment at number 24, the final house with its regalia of stucco swags and bows.
A low point or depression in land; especially, a place where water collects.
1902, D. G. Simmons, "The Influence of Contaminated Water in the Development of Diseases", The American Practitioner and News, 34: 182.
Whenever the muddy water would accumulate in the swag the water from the well in question would become muddy […] After the water in the swag had all disappeared through the sink-hole...

Hi @Glorfindel, would the source in this post actually be postimg.org? Afaict, the source is not postimg.org. postimg.org is just a hosting server, where I uploaded a screenshot that I captured. So technically it's original content and has myself as source. Is that right?

I am asking because if this is incorrect, then this post edit might not be the only case of an incorrect source

Also, general question: when did MSE get non-staff moderators? Was there an announcement post about this that I missed?

yup
