@VoteDukakis Or... you learn programming and submit fixes yourself.
That's the nice thing about free (as in freedom) software. You don't need to worry about some corporation taking their sweet time fixing a bug in their closed source code. You either give them the patch and they apply it, or you apply it yourself.
So we have, at least Markdown for main sites (which include some non markdown tags as per spec), a cut down version for comments, a slightly less cut down and maddeningly slightly inconsistant version on chat...
My kitten is 7 month old, and I...

Now she won't move around me, being highly cautious to every move and every sound. I feel so bad for what I did to her. Is there any way to fix her and our relationship?
Whatever reasons I had,...
@JourneymanGeek Just a curious unrelated request for comment: have you looked at the debug homepage? What do you think of it? In its current form, is it better than the current "active" homepage?
Heh, I remember the authentication system back in 2014. Occasionally, you'd get logged out of specific sites, and prompted to refresh the page for it to show that you were logged in. Glad they at least implemented universal login and got rid of that
...and it now also detects when you're signed in to SE but don't have an account on a site, whereas it didn't at the time
@Sonic regarding my "wizard request" for Meta, you said it was a discussion and not a feature-request. Given the time passed, I'd like to turn it into a feature-request. Should I only edit the tags and a bit of the language or write a new post?
I mean I get why it doesn't work on different domains, but when it's only a different subdomain, it should absolutely be able to give you an account automatically.
@MEEthesneakyuser I answered that recently; I'd wait for voting to pan out on it for until it turns one week old (in ~3 days) before filing a new feature request that concretely explains how exactly you want it to be like.
Out of curiosity, what did you think of my answer there? (Also pinging @JourneymanGeek because of this comment of his)
At this moment if you were to file an FR, would you go with my layout or your original one?
@MEEthesneakyuser Speaking of which, in your new FR, clearly explain that you started a discussion about this before (with a link), and due to the positive community consensus, you're proposing an actual request. Also explain if you liked your suggestion better than mine or vice versa and why.
@JourneymanGeek tl;dr my answer simply says that the first step should be just two options: "I have a question about SE" and "I have some other (e.g. programming) question".
tl;dr
Due to the special nature of Meta and the high rate of "lost souls", should we try out the Ask a Question Wizard here on Meta Stack Exchange too?
General idea
In case anyone doesn't know yet, there is finally an Ask Question Wizard. It guides new users towards writing better questions.

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog I think currently I'd go for a mix: first a list of honeypots (other SE sites, other Meta sites, ...) and then if the "right" choice was made I would propose to show a list of question types (discussion, fr, bug, support, ...?)
This is something I've been thinking about for a few weeks. Note, the honeypot for per-site metas (1) needs to have some sort of check/explanation for what to do if a user is suspended on that account. They can't ask questions if they're suspended, so sending them there will only annoy them. And the honeypot for main sites (6) probably deserves some cool way to help users find the right sites rather than pointing them at a list of nearly 200... a site decision tree or something. It'd be cool but a future goal. — Catija ♦Apr 24 at 17:44
Maybe I'd build a little prototype if I find the time for it. (in Stack Snippets)
@ArtOfCode Any evidence that conclusively says that I did not flag?
Also, I routinely see mods editing abusive content out of posts deleted as abusive (e.g. images) as they don't have a spam mask (and I also happen to be using a user script that disables the mask)
@JourneymanGeek A CM edited a "blank" post where the original revision was redacted to let others know not to complain of a "blank" post (this recent one also shows up as blank)
@JourneymanGeek I often find myself clicking through to actual posts on MSE as part of Charcoal, so I find that the spam mask just gets in my way at times.
@JourneymanGeek This wasn't spam, it was R/A...and R/A flags don't cause posts to get fed into spam prevention measures. And even if it did, I'd strongly suspect that it would cache the revision at the time of the deletion.
I got a mail from Stack Overflow regarding a chat event. I joined the chat event few months ago and this is the first time I'm getting a mail for that.
I checked my email subscription settings and mails for chat event is turned off. I didn't changed it for last 6+ months.
The Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography And Marketing (CAN-SPAM) Act of 2003, signed into law by President George W. Bush on December 16, 2003, established the United States' first national standards for the sending of commercial e-mail and requires the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to enforce its provisions.
== History ==
The backronym CAN-SPAM derives from the bill's full name: Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography And Marketing Act of 2003. It plays on the word "canning" (putting an end to) spam, as in the usual term for unsolicited email of this type. The bill...
@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog But I'm not us citizen. SO is a us company. But I think only us citizen can file a complain. Also I don't want to make trouble to this company coz they helped me a lot.
