@heather on Medium. I'll take that as a no

I was going to say that's one of those questions so cryptic, if it was right, we'd need to delete it, and if it was wrong, no one would have any idea what was happening :D

7:41 AM

I figured it was "if the answer is yes they'll know what I'm talking about"

@SmokeDetector fp

@Mithical exactly. And be very confused if they did not :D

@rene useless troll... good riddance. :)

People sometimes do silly things just for fun, I guess.

@Mithical outdated. It's been downvoted 1153 times by now.

oh, think they posted the net score. lol

Still, it's lower now.

@ShadowTheBurningWizard It's Steerpike's fault.

Hey not funny :D

So, anyone knows where @Hitodama gone to? :/

The other side.

Noo.... not the dark side... sob

@ShadowTheBurningWizard Physics.SE calls that "pitches for personal theories". An idea with no link supporting it. Etc.

So... is this what became of our beloved pony?

BTW: Hit's last activity was 11 days ago, on their profile.

@Rob well... still pingable... that counts for something.... :)

@Rob yup

Q: My LPG runs out while I am cooking, what should I do now?

@djsmiley2kindarkness 418 Not a face

Random rant: how on Earth should I know what LPG means?

I am living by myself, and sometimes my LPG (liquefied petroleum gas - a fuel tank) will run out of gas while I am still cooking and in need of it. This results in an unfinished food. I am hungry and I still need to go to work, what should I do? Some of the actions that I do include: I'll just...

It's inside the question, sure, but.... had to click to see.

Question says what it is 😁

3:50 PM

Well known in North America

Really??

meh no acronym for that in Hebrew, it's just "cooking gas" here.

Or "gas for cooking"

cries over spilled gas

Germany, China, NA, lots of places.

@Rob what about those places?

4:10 PM

Also used as vehicle fuel, related to LNG (in usage, not composition).

Now I want shwarma.

lol

I literally had shwarma TWICE in 2019. This is outrageous.

I had.... urgh.... counting weeks.... ~30

YOU- YOU- GIMME

4:18 PM

(once every two weeks, sometimes every week)

@Mithical come over to visit and I'll give you. :D

4:43 PM

Mr. @Shadow, please don't squeeze the Shawarma!

Give a man an answer, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to ask, and you feed him for a lifetime.

@Rob That particular man can still see his question and the comment after deletion of his post.

How to ask according to etiquette, choose the correct site. Did you get the reference ...

@Rob I thought your post here referred to the fish :-D

@πάνταῥεῖ on the plus side: the table tag wiki has some content now ...

Q: Has there been a significant increase in suspensions lately?

7:12 PM

Was there?

After rarely checking for the last week, I noticed multiple other users (who were pretty active over the past weeks and months) who are all currently suspended. Adding to plenty other suspensions I noticed since October 2019. In my subjective perception, it just feels like a high number of user...

support account-suspension

Kinda. More drama > more people > more people being rude > more people being suspended.

@Mithical That's what I thought also.

heather

@Mithical oh, lmao. i haven't looked at medium in a while. yep, that's me.

why do you ask

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

7:29 PM

@heather I noticed a new follower and was curious who it was

Without giving too much away, most of the users who've been suspended have been so soon after posting an answer that got deleted as offensive.

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

Unfortunately I am not a SEDE expert to gain such data (if we would have access at all).

My point (in the answer) is that conditions have changed.

heather

@Mithical ah yep. that's me.

@πάνταῥεῖ Hmmm. If by conditions you mean an influx of misbehaving users, it's not coming across that well. I kinda get the feeling you're hinting at changed conditions with regards to acceptable behavior with your subtext and last sentence. Which certainly isn't the case.

I think it comes down to a fundamental disconnect. The MSE mods care about MSE as a community. For many users, MSE is not (and should never have been) a community, it is just the place where the larger, network-wide community can come and discuss issues that affect the network.

Dec 9 at 15:48, by terdon - stop harming Monica

So, the MSE mods want to save their site, which is understandable, but from the perspective of the other side, who don't see MSE as a "site" like any other but as a tool for a job, the efforts of the MSE mods to keep things running appear counter productive.

Dec 9 at 15:49, by terdon - stop harming Monica

So, for those of us who only care about MSE as a place where we can discuss network-wide issues, having things deleted because they're continuing the dumpster fire feels very wrong: we don't want the fire to go away, we want the reasons for the fire to go away.

@Tinkeringbell By conditions I mean conditions. These even haven't been clarified in such detail before as we were used to.

@πάνταῥεῖ hmm.. mkay

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog It's so nice when people can read your mind /s

Damn, I missed the announcement since I was out of town for holidays on the 23rd. I guess it's fair they post before another religion's celebration this time lol.

Tinkeringbell

@FélixGagnon-Grenier If it's, as I suspect, at the same time a part of the agreement... I don't think delaying it was an option
