@AnnZen Moderators can for sure, Room Owners... There's an answer here by balpha who worked for SE during this time. The answer is Yes... buuuut... the way to do so is hacky and designed to not be easy to do.
If you've self deleted it - then not too much can be done. The only people who could see it prior to deletion are room owners and they'd have to know where to look for it as the (removed) placeholder won't appear in the transcript and you can only load so many older messages to see that when in the room. Unless you posted your credit card number or social security details etc... I wouldn't worry about it. — Jon Clements ♦Jul 10 '17 at 17:28
^ removed doesn't show up in transcript. Also, an employee could likely "perma-delete" something but I've never heard of this happening
take that back actually - I remember a meta question which asked for "sensitive" information to be removed. So Employee or Mod could definitely perma-delete a chat message with PII or something (if flagged/email sent) - but its far from the norm
@JourneymanGeek yeah, might take Dev to truly "delete" it (internet archives, user screenshots, and other such realities of the internet not withstanding)
What tools are available to moderators?
Moderators are our human exception handlers and will get involved when users and room owners canโt handle a situation on their own. If flags are raised or they are notified of something, then a moderator will step in to investigate and resolve the problem....
I think everyone should learn math and logic and programming is a great way of teaching the second (applicable skill) - there are certainly other ways though :)
In India don't the students have to learn Hindi, English and the language of their province; and also should learn an additional language, such as French?
eh, the bulk of my rep was on other sites (even though I program alot and have since '99) because I haven't seen myself as a programmer since 2003 so I wasn't making any comment on using SO
I like Python and the Python room but only rarely use SO itself anymore (most of my questions requiring looking at source documents or repositories or what-have-you anymore)
@JourneymanGeek I remember (and I could be wrong here) you saying something similar about how you became a Meta Mod (that it was somewhat unintentional) :)
from "influencing the community" to "influencing the direction of the network" to "I am NOT LETTING THEM BURN THIS PLACE DOWN" to "trying to keep people from trying to burn this place down again" to...
@LinkBerest Actually the white tiger face is the thing in common, on Space.SE I'm in an astronaut suit, on Monero.SE I'm in front of a Blockchain, etc.
@JourneymanGeek yeah, same, same - saw some work (enough for me to move from an F- to a D) so still here but I haven't moved too far from the exit cause I haven't seen enough (yet)
@Rob I teach at a University in Florida....I don't think M.A.R. goes to this one though (I mean he could - never really looked)
I was going to start a post-doc thing in Canada but covid stomped that flat (granted, have better postion here so not 100% bad that)
Ideasthesia (alternative spelling ideaesthesia) was introduced by neuroscientist Danko Nikoliฤ and is defined as a phenomenon in which activations of concepts (inducers) evoke perception-like experiences (concurrents). The name comes from the Ancient Greek แผฐฮดฮญฮฑ (idéa) and ฮฑแผดฯฮธฮทฯฮนฯ (aísthฤsis), meaning "sensing concepts" or "sensing ideas". The main reason for introducing the notion of ideasthesia was the problems with synesthesia. While "synesthesia" means "union of senses", empirical evidence indicated that this was an incorrect explanation of a set of phenomena traditionally covered by this heading...
@rene It actually got two upvotes and an answer... so that's ... something? I'm pretty proud of it. Also, I wouldn't post in there, they'd kick me out for spamming.
Anyway, the people I wanted to vote for didn't run in the election :P
@Catija I think you asked a regex question there as it is supposed to be done. Normally you'll see things that resemble a regex and the text not working. Your question deserves upvotes and it deserves an excellent answer. Well done.
@ShadowWizardWearingMask Just kitchen knives, and a cheap hunting knife. I know this guy who is barrel chested, and has huge arms, he spent over $300 on his 22" knife; way too big for me to wield.
Observations
We often notice that postings by new contributors receive upvotes after being downvoted before, despite these posts are
very low quality
completely unclear
obvious duplicates (no research done as recommended)
blatantly off-topic for the site
even obvious spam or clickbait
That's an...
When a post is closed, the message is only visible to the OP, and the privileged users. But what's the point in that if underprivileged users can just see the timeline?
@ฯฮฌฮฝฯฮฑแฟฅฮตแฟ Here is the definitive Q&A, where a question was asked, an answer given; and everyone upvoted it like crazy - 100's of upvotes - clearly the answer is wrong, but the OP chose it as correct too. Once people started protesting and correct answers came in there was a reversal, but it still maintains a respectable score.
"Olly olly oxen free" is a catchphrase used in children's games such as hide and seek, capture the flag, and kick the can to indicate that players who are hiding can come out into the open without losing the game, that the position of the sides in a game has changed (as in which side is in the field or which side is at bat or "up" in baseball or kickball), or, alternatively, that the game is entirely over.
The Dictionary of American Regional English says that the phrase may be derived from all ye, all ye outs in free, all the outs in free, or possibly calling all the "outs" in free; in other words...
@rene Yeah I was wondering if your bounty would come in before or after I reached it. Heh, yeah, lots of nastiness that was previously hidden... Thanks :)
