morning @_@
woke up... from an ant's bite...

They are just trying to communicate.

@Mr.YouKnowWhoIAm Are you the one who loves changing from nothing to one?
user302202
Leonard Cohen is usually SFW but not this time.
03:32
@Mr.IDontKnowWhoYouAre Not me...
user302202
There's also the mystery of whose sockpuppet @user289396 is...
user302202
MichaelT?
user302202
Or maybe I just tend to see MichaelT in every shadow on Stack Exchange.
3 years is long enough for being a long-time user...
or a compromised account :/
Just do what I do and lose your password every year or two.
Then you'll never be a long-time user!
03:40
a long-enough user then...
@forest and presumably use a throw away email account
and no password manager
yeah lol
THen there
there's me. whose secondary account is literally primaryaccount+sockpuppet@<mailprovider.com>
03:55
@GetAnswerWizard ouch! Where? Since when ants bite anyway?!
sure they do
@ShadowWizard the worst place you can imagine (primarily opinion-based)
Anyway,
@Joshua honestly, it wasn't a big deal. It was a userscript issue. The account needed to have mod privileges removed until Sam could stop the script. — Yvette Colomb ♦ 39 mins ago
rogue sentient userscript
Also,
No sleeping allowed, @Martin! There are homework questions to be answered. Speaking of which, what are you doing on Meta? Those questions aren't going to answer themselves. — Cody Gray ♦ 9 hours ago
perhaps some of us are more active on meta than main sites...
04:20
@GetAnswerWizard this is almost completely trie
but only slightly ;)
 
1 hour later…
05:52
@SonictheWizardWerehog eh I always felt there was more leeway on those announcement posts
Doesn't mean it's not also cr*ppy and low-quality.
@JourneymanGeek Yes, I know; my personal policy is that they should be substantive; one-liners like that one aren't.
(Maybe a downvote at the least is needed)
Willeke's answer is substantive, by comparison
06:18
@SonictheWizardWerehog but it isn't a traditional question
@forest that I'm fine with
@JourneymanGeek True; answers to the effect of "congratulations" are OK, but if it doesn't say anything much more than that, IMO it's not. (And the reviewers seem to agree)
@SonictheWizardWerehog if its in the review queue, I'll defer to that
@Aibobot It got deleted there
(Caught you in the middle of an account switch?)
naw, main account on my phone, secondary on the office laptop
just treat the two accounts as one person ;p
We just treat them as sock-puppets ...
06:25
sock puppies
3
lol
@rene if you ever get a sock call it Hyacinth or something :p
Hyacinth Bucket
Hyacinth doesn't look like @rene
eww a big one (four sites)
hmm.. will the new CM hunt spammers too? Not pingable here yet... :(
07:05
hmm.. WhatsApp not working again? Didn't get daily message from wife. :/
Isn't the new cm more international ops?
Cesar will be working directly with me, Catija, and Nicolas on the SE sites and the International Stack Overflow communities
(above is from the announcement of his arrival) Can't tell if "more" or not, but yeah, part of his job.
07:25
No need for new report any time someone will edit it.
@AskQuestionWizard did you stop following/monitoring SE staff tweets? Or just stopped sharing them here? There was something... interesting... from Tim.
@Shadow I noticed you reopened meta.stackexchange.com/questions/326946/… since the target wasn't relevant. But I've proposed two different targets for it now; please consider closing it of those targets. (Someone else re-proposed the same wrong target; you'll have to remove that.)
@SonictheWizardWerehog still, none says clearly "Low reputation does not cause directly any restriction", it's not trivial to conclude that it's the other way around, i.e. you start with restrictions, then they're lifted as you gain reputation.
Hard to explain, but I plan to post answer if the question won't be closed.
Also I can't and won't just remove pending close votes, as I told many times, using the hammer for that is abuse.
07:57
@ShadowWizard Well, if you earn the rep but then lose it, or you start off with the association bonus and then lose it (like I just did a couple days ago), it does cause restriction.
@ShadowWizard Use a mace instead
@SonictheWizardWerehog not really. It cause you to lose privileges, not to have restrictions placed on you. There's a subtle difference.
Suspension is a restriction, or question ban.
Neither are result of low reputation.
@ShadowWizard I think I know which one
Yeah I was thinking you should mention that in the answer
but its probably as much about in general as SE?
08:04
Rate limits are restrictions too.
@SonictheWizardWerehog not really.
They are I swear
Not directly at least.
Additionally, the 10 rep "remove new user restrictions" privilege is, as the name implies, more of a restriction lift
08:05
@M.A.R.TheChemicalWizard the cake? It's a lie.
It doesn't affect the 'modalities' of answering though, whatever the heck that means
BTW it feels kinda weird to have a post from a new user with no tone, sarcasm or frustration sprinkled over it
Part of the confusion is we're trying to figure out why they asked such a question and we're not reaching any satisfying answers
@M.A.R.TheChemicalWizard Mace Tyrell?
@ShadowWizard No, mace mace
No, mace without piss
08:10
@M.A.R.TheChemicalWizard sorry, out of stock.
Try again in 6-8 days.
I wanna file a consumer complaint
@M.A.R.TheChemicalWizard call 688-866-886
Or send a fax to that number
Where's that located, Nicaragua?
Two Smokey instances... :(

Coffee is overrated

@ShadowWizard It's Mithrandir's fault.
@ShadowWizard It's Shog9's fault.
Double blame!! :D
Would double brownies work or would it be a dupe message?

@ShadowWizard No such command 'brownies'.
@ShadowWizard No such command 'brownies'.

Weird, since SE chat usually don't let us post dupe messages
So we have AI parroting AI. Next step is Skynet

Congrats for your first mod action here! (Adding the red tag ;)) — Shadow Wizard 2 hours ago
And this was only the beginning . . . Dun dun dun
Next year this time, has 960k rep . . .
Well I already started +500 gift
eww no idea what it is, but doesn't look like spam.
@ShadowWizard Look at the answer.
It's a spam seed.
I have severe dysmenorrhea, and a lot of menstruation, menstruation will often be advanced or delayed, do you have endometrial problems?
Do . . . "you" have endometrial problems?
It makes no sense. My guess is it was a spam seed as well, but closed before they could post their spam, haha
(It's their previous, upvoted question)
08:34
@M.A.R.TheChemicalWizard first one also makes no sense, so yeah.... random pile of words might indeed be just spam seed.
"doctor who has pain in my [put organ name here]". lol
I have pain in my pineal gland plz halp
Pineapple?
Put on pizza, eat, and you're good to go.
....
waste of perfectly good pizza.
Also pineapple is the one thing I am alergic to
Pineapple is nice :)
Perhaps not on pizza, but that's because the pizza ruins the pineapple, not the other way around ;)
08:50
@Aibobot so put only on half, sliced tomato on the other half. :D
I am kinda a pizza fundamentalist.
All I need is tomato and cheese
He said the T word!
BLEGH!
sneaks @Tinkeringbell a white pizza to keep her quiet
08:52
@Aibobot Perhaps. I should still try one of those.
You mean naked pizza?! (that's just cheese on a bread! ;))
that said, I'm a bit of a fan of unusual crusts...
@ShadowWizard nope
basically a tomato free crust
@ShadowWizard Nothing wrong with Dutch people eating bread and cheese!
Its actually, IIRC the other traditional topping
The whole point is the sauce and stuff you add
08:53
@Tinkeringbell as long as it isn't bread, cheese and sprinkles.
@ShadowWizard Sure, stuff is okay. T's are not!
@ShadowWizard according to the internet, they use ricotta
@Aibobot Nutella pizza with sprinkles! :D
@Tinkeringbell ACTUALLY...
@Aibobot still, cheese. ;)
08:54
I know, nutella pizza exists ;)
If you could put the nuteela after the baking.... or make it more a calzone....
nutella inside a puff pastry, ...
would be pretty good
M&M's are NOT sprinkles...
and my favourite lazy fake pizza crust (prata - its a flaky flat bread that turns into puff pastry when you bake it instead of pan it...)
lol
!!/testingamountofinstances
08:56
@ShadowWizard No such command 'testingamountofinstances'.
Heh, good.

@ShadowWizard teward/Solar Flare
Mom made pizza tortilla's last weekend. It had like a cm of tomato sauce, then a lot of tomato bits and just the incidental piece of mozzarella. That was horrible.
:(
Revenge for something you did? ;)
I played nice the whole week!
08:57
I mean... she should know you don't like tomato... no?
I did the laundry, cleaned the toilets, kept my room clean... even made my bed!
Cleaned only your toilets? Or the whole house toilets?
@ShadowWizard There's 2 in this house, I dunno how many you have over there? :P
@Tinkeringbell clearly the dislike goes deeper
I read that Julian Assange was kicked out for not cleaning the toilets! :D
08:58
Live on your own
only eat what you choose to
naw, it was the cat.
@Aibobot I dunno. She might just want me to get on with it, buy an apartment and get out ;)
Totally was the cat.
its great
@Magisch then her mom fills the pantries with tomato...
08:59
@Magisch Yeah, it does sound good :)
@Tinkeringbell also two, but one is only for the parents, the other is for kids and guests. :)
(and me, since it's bigger and more comfortable LOL)
We have one downstairs and one upstairs. That's it.
No real difference between who uses them
@Tinkeringbell ya, I need to look at moving out too
Heh. So you cleaned both for nothing?? Not nice. :D
Though the upstairs one is also where the shower/bath is, so going nr.2 there is frowned upon, especially in the evening when other people have to shower ;)
@Aibobot Does that mean you found a Ms. Geek?
09:02
@Aibobot sad cat
@Tinkeringbell nope
@Magisch It's just robot dog propaganda against cats ;)
@Tinkeringbell or I don't know it yet
there's a few folks in the pipeline
@Aibobot :( So you're going to move out on your own? Sounds like a good choice, this is taking looooong
@Tinkeringbell looking at options to
09:03
you should come to germany
I was kinda hoping for some of a few things to happen but... well...
its nice here :D
waiting sucks
@Magisch I'd likely be telling some girl "Come to singapore! Its nice here!"
@Aibobot It sure does :)
I moved out at 19 because I couldn't stand my stepmother anymore
can recommend
09:06
It's not that bad I guess ;)
@Magisch I don't mind my parents too much. They're going to have more trouble adjusting than me
We get along quite nicely, I play by her rules and she respects my wishes :)
For now, I most likely end up looking for another job first, before buying an apartment and moving out. It's nice to do so from home, and not be stuck with financial burdens when switching jobs...
@Tinkeringbell more or less that
also if I move out, I'd be living on my own
which, in some ways is good, but I'd risk turning into a hermit again
At least you're aware of that risk, so you can catch it when it happens ;)
yeah
actually that's one reason I am wanting to wait
09:13
being a hermit aint so bad
@Magisch sometimes.
The bathroom issue is a big reason why I opted to rent in a building where all bedrooms in all apartments have their own separate attached bathrooms
and you'd need to take ash with you
09:19
when I move to scotland eventually, I definitely want an apartment that allows pets
then get 2 cats and maybe a small dog
endgame achieved
I want two big rabbits.
@Magisch that's the first I'm hearing of this Scotland plan
stole the image and posted on Gardening & Landscaping to identify this plant
@Tinkeringbell except the tomato stuff... ;)
@Magisch I'd need a work at home job (or a mrs who does) for that
09:20
@GetAnswerWizard Pomegranate tree.
and ash is definately a reason I want to delay moving out
@Mithrandir ive been wanting to move to scotland for a while
I love scotland
huh, that's pomegrenade tree!?
@ShadowWizard I said I'd try.. if she would go easy on the sauce. She didn't really mention the tomato bits :/
And apparently forgot about the sauce
@Mithrandir Kosher? ;)
09:23
@ShadowWizard Well, if it had fruits they'd still be orlah
Huh... Why?
Tree is under three years old
@GetAnswerWizard If you don't believe me, you can ask that question ;)
(nobody saw that. nobody.)
09:39
@ShadowWizard done
@ShadowWizard gone
10:01
Tagged as [catalan-numbers] O.o
@JNat thanks!

@Mithrandir oh
@M.A.R.TheChemicalWizard M
Wait, what happened to the "L"?
10:14
@Mithrandir N
10:36
@rene Report received :P
thanks! ;)
@rene Looks like that OP decided to post that spam seed before, only then it was closed before it could be 'answered'. Consider both gone ;)
I suspected something like that might have happened ...
Yeah. Not smart ;)

@ShadowWizard I'm trying to spend more time reading things I enjoy. Hence, less time on those I don't (an example).
@AskQuestionWizard Out of curiosity, in your mod chart, is it your general policy to include a gap in case a user is emergency de-modded due to their account being compromised, and their privileges are later reinstated (after they've been confirmed to have regained access and secured their account)?
In other words, temporary mod removals where the permissions were reinstated after a very short time?
13:17
@AskQuestionWizard not sure if the example is of something you enjoy or not?
user302202
It's just an example of what happens when I do that.
Huh, today is election day in my country...
user302202
Good news: it can't be more pathetic than the recent elementary OS election.
+2/-2, as expected from the last active dates...
user302202
With this being a winning nomination.
13:27
Seems like if someone really wanted a diamond for the diamond's sake, you can get one fairly deterministically
user302202
voting down posts whose character lengths evenly divide the author's user ID. Maybe we can have "guess what my bot's doing!" challenges on meta.
user302202
Sounds fun. Maybe upvote the posts where the ID has an odd number of prime factors, and downvote those with an even number of prime factors.
"This bot seems upvoting posts with ID A000127 and downvoting with ID A002024"
"Huh? Multiple ID? Yeah, it's their socks..."
Then all breaks loose hell...
13:55
Loose hell sounds like hell.
14:37
Does anyone know how long it takes a for a response to something I send using the "Contact me" option and send to legal@stackoverflow.com? I have been waiting for almost 2 weeks now for an legal issue
14:49
6 to 8 weeks, usually

Q: "Contact us"... and then what?

nvoigtSo I had a dispute with the moderators at a specific SE site. As a result, I got suspended there. As per SE guidelines, I pressed the "Contact us" button and wrote to the higher powers to appeal. That was 5-6 weeks ago. There was zero feedback, neither positive, nor negative, not even "it's in p...

is it by design that editing a deleted answer should bump the question in "active" on the tag? At least for 10k users
If it didn't, you'd have to have decide whether to bump when undeleting answers later
... but status quo is also exploitable... hm...
14:59
@Olivia post an answer -> delete -> add spam link 1 month later -> undelete -> ??? -> profit!
@GetAnswerWizard post an answer -> delete -> add spam link -> undelete 1 month later -> profit
@Olivia ... yes.
@GetAnswerWizard Post, deleted, edit, no undelete, magically bumped
@Catija even while it's still deleted?
@Olivia yep, those 10k-rep edits while being deleted might be invalid and need to be checked by others
So, what they didn't mention is that we don't bump questions when a post is undeleted, whether that's the question itself or an answer on the question. As such, the only time we have for y'all to review the edits before it gets undeleted eventually. While this may be slightly confusing for users under 10k, it's important oversight.
15:07
yeah, that makes sense I guess
@Catija Oh, so <10k see it too?
@Olivia They see the bump but if they follow the modified link from the home page, they'll not see anything that was edited.
Only 10k + users can see the deleted posts.
yeah, because not enough rep. Just started wondering about it after I started watching the active tab over newest and saw that ^^"
The people making the edits are usually low rep users and they can always see their own posts... as long as they have links to them.
@Feeds felt eerily familiar with recent situations on SE...
15:31
At least the last April Fools Joke was well tested and didn't cause any issues, the fixing of which surely would have got me banned by HAProxy.

Do you think that misuse of mayor comes its phonetic similarity to mejor? I blame the Spaniards.

@Feeds Seeing a dead body? I'm in. Gotta find time to watch Stand By Me one of these days.
Just watch the Family Guy adaptation. It's like 6 minutes long. ;)
