@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog Generally we figure the number of slots based on the capacity we need to replace. It's not uncommon for moderators to be less active on the site before they resign.
We determine the need based on what the mod teams on that site want. If they feel one slot is sufficient to replace two or three... or even no slots... that's their call and they can change their mind at any point in the future... but we're not going to force new people onto a team that's able to handle everything without help unless they drop under three people.
(actually there's precious little meta action on SU these days ._., and my flag handling style is to pop in and crunch them for about 10 minutes a few times a day...)
@Aibobot yes. This is true. But elections are more complicated than most people understand, which means it's even less useful to try to push us around about things.
Returning to that UX research post... if new users had a taste of some privileges, might they be more likely to try and earn them? Like, a new account comes with the ability to make 5 comments.
Wouldn't work for votes though, as there are enough voting rings as is.
The obvious downside is a user getting "no more comments left" and starting a new account.
👋Hello! This is our second installment of UX research updates for Meta. You can check out the first installment here.
This month, I’ll talk about findings from user research we did last year about how users with lower reputation perceive and use reputation and privileges.
Research background...
Like, what kind of idiot protocol lets users negotiate a “maximum key size” that can be as small as 1 byte. (A default that, fortunately, should be higher in recent versions.)
I have a one minute recording on my iphone7 as well as a similar recording on my Ring spotlight security video/audio camera. They were inaudible in real life. I found I had been exposed to these God awful sounds and maybe others for hours two nights in a row making me borderline psychotic. Where ...
I think you can only vote that up, and leave a "me too" comment; without risking a dupe. It's possible that you got rate limited, try manually uploading from the same IP address to answer any question (then hit cancel).
(actually normal job is quiet unless things go horribly horribly wrong. We also help helpdesk with chasing down case resolutions, which actually needs my attention)
so I was like "I'm so sorry - this is not under us. Kindly send our helpdesk an email. I'll get information out to the engineer from the correct vendor, but I really need you to email $helpdesk@$frankencorp.tld..."
I can't think of a decent reason to allow editing audit messages (like 'n messages moved to room' or topic changes). I have abused it for fun before but it really has no purpose other than joking or obfuscating your actions. For that I think that such messages should be untouchable. Please make t...
@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog sure, but hard to reach.
Without "deleted by" notice we'll still be able to see revisions of the deleted post. But.. not easily.
Anyway... that's something I won't do if using my RO power to move messages. It's obvious the moved message was bad, nobody with common sense will click through if they don't want to see it.
@Divin3 It is not possible to debug. We can't see the source of the website. how it is configured, etc. The Tim Post was a joke :/. It is a 404 error because the webmaster said it was. It this so difficult to understand? — DavidPostill ♦Aug 14 '15 at 10:58
Khkhkh. David getting roasted.
If Tim wrote a post besides a lamppost, would it be Tim Post's post's post?

So, more than 2 months and no one figured out how to keep spoilers off HNQ? Are you aware of any alternatives to just disabling HNQ completely? — Mars2 days ago
Hopefully there is no language like that, because if a is my carefully prepared boolean I need to use in that condition, I'd be unhappy to have it compared to 3.
