Okay, once again...

...but with the "opinion-based" reason instead.

@Glorfindel Thank you @Glorfindel ! I managed to get it to work for some sites. Unfortuantely Drones is still not on the SEDE, and that's what I wanted to look at. The Private Beta I'm currently in, has had its 5th bounty offered now, and I wanted to see how this compares with other Private Betas, so I wanted to check your query for Drones. Anyway, even though the SEDE isn't up yet for Drones, I managed to find out by looking at the badges, that only 1 bounty has been offered there.

(and 0 during Private Beta). Thanks for the SEDE query though, I've been curious about how to search that for a long time, so I can see myself using it again in the future.

@user1271772 Drones is in SEDE as of yesterday.

@SonictheStay-HomeHedgehog if there's a organised bunch of people doing it we have an issue

The refresh was a little later than usual, and private betas don't appear in SEDE.

If it's one person meh

@Glorfindel I see. When I tried your query a couple days ago I didn't see them in SEDE, I asked Catijia when it would go up on SEDE in the Drones Chat, but no reply. How did you find out so quickly that it's up?

I asked a question about the refresh: meta.stackexchange.com/q/347702/295232 and this morning the answer showed Drones as the first refreshed site (they seem to be refresh in chronological order, newest first)

@Glorfindel I see, so 12 hours ago user Daniil from Drones.SE edited your question to say that Drones was not up yet, and 6 hours ago answered revealing that it's now up. It all makes sense now :) I had tried your bounty query yesterday so it was still not up at the time.

@user1271772 I understand :)

Thank you

@Glorfindel yeah, they look to be scheduled like that but IIRC the SEDE refresh script is kicked off as part of the backup finished event. So then it depends on when the backup has finished. That explains some interleaving at the the end (stackapps and webapps for erxample). And does explain why SO is always way last when finally finished.

Hey @ShadowKeepsSocialDistance what do you think... would it be worth requesting people look again at the whole 'remove an @-reply if it's the first thing in a comment'?

@Tinkeringbell I think so. So many new OPs dont use @-reply, and apparently some not-so-new members aren't aware of when it's needed either. ;) Every couple of days I visit my recent comments just in case I have unaddressed replies that are worth responding to, just in case.

Tink is referring to this recent question meta.stackexchange.com/q/347724

@Tinkeringbell yes, plus make it more clear somehow that ping must be used, maybe auto pop up when posting a comment after there are comments from others as well. (on posts written by others).

There's already a FR out there for the popup.

@user1271772 good song. ;)

@PM2Ring good point. Up until quite recently I thought a comment would automatically notify the author of the previous comment...

@Glorfindel It doesn't? Seriously?

Didn't it used to? I could have sworn I've seen the behavior.

I believe the rule is that it does if only one other person has commented so far

> A post’s author comments on a post you have previously commented on, when the only other (undeleted) comments on the post belong to you or the author.

(from the FAQ: What events trigger an inbox notification?)

That's probably why it's so confusing: sometimes it pings, sometimes it doesn't.

meta.stackexchange.com/a/43020/369802 < It's also in the 'how do comment replies work' FAQ.

So you'll either have a bunch of new users never learning to use @ replies and with two people commenting, they may not be seen... or you have a bunch of people that are going to go 'Why did I get a notification, I wasn't pinged?' ;)

Wow. I had always thought that if you don't explicitly mention someone, the notification will go to the posts's author and to whoever had posted the last comment. I tend to always explicitly @-mention, so it's clear who I'm talking to but wow, I thought I knew how comments worked by now!

@terdon exactly what I was thinking 6-8 months ago.

@Glorfindel @terdon Oops! ;)

So you get scenarios where you post a comment requesting the OP to clarify their question, and of course they don't edit the new information into the question, they post it as a comment with no @-ping. So you don't know they've replied, and their question doesn't get bumped (because they didn't edit it). So it just sits there, languishing.

And then the OP gets the feeling that they're being ignored, and goes off and sulks...

Yeah, that one I've seen. But there's often been another comment after mine, so I hadn't made the connection. And, of course, it just happened 5 minutes ago!

I mean, the only reason I'd be writing a FR to ask 'can we not remove @replies from the beginning of a comment' would be because I have a gut feeling that what I described here actually works, and the only reason I can find for deleting them is 'they're not necessary'. It's kinda hard to argue they are without data :/

@Feeds Oooh! Animal Crossing :D I really like whatever rock is in the background there :D

@Tinkeringbell I do that too. And I upvoted that comment. But it may be hard to gather solid data. And people may decide to ignore you even if you ping them. OTOH, if we present this FR as a mechanism to make the sites more welcoming, I think it will be well-received.

@Tinkeringbell can we add status-review to this one?

@Pandya I don't think it meets any of the criteria of featuring old posts...

Ohk. No problem:)

"Is the question only fully answerable by an employee?" applicable to new posts only. I see

It's also applicable to old posts, but until we've heard back about the trial period (and whether that changes anything), I'm going to hold old posts against the other list there too :)

Which means that they also have to fall into one of the other buckets... and I'm not seeing the fit there...

@Feeds If those numbers are true, the media should probably give a bit less attention to the gun-waving Americans protesting lockdowns...

The media thrives on broadcasting and creating more drama, especially in America. "people are abiding by regulations and staying at home" gets fewer clicks than "people are protesting lockdown".

Especially taking into account that most of the protests were organized by the same person and half of them didn't actually happen.

@Pandya The test is over now

@SonictheStay-HomeHedgehog that doesn't matter, [status-review] is still in use

@Mithical That's true...

On the other hand, no one was setting 5G towers here on fire until the media started reporting about people in Britain doing so ;)

@SonictheStay-HomeHedgehog That pattern looks like it's already caught by Blacklisted website in answer and Blacklisted website in body; append -force if you really want to do that.
