Quick question, does anyone know where to find the policies on multiple accounts?

Q: How should sockpuppets be handled on Stack Exchange?

A high-reputation, highly-active user has already been dinged once for a sockpuppet, and I just dinged him again. He probably has another sockpuppet as well. What are the guidelines for handling users who game the system in this fashion? Specifically, How can I be sure I'm looking at a sockpu...

Allure

Thanks!

In the hamburger menu, the link to chat now includes a ?tab=site&host=meta.stackexchange.com. I can't remember if that was ever the case. Chat here doesn't have a site tab either. Is that a regression?

It does make sense for chat.se

Tinkeringbell

08:56

@rene I do know it's been like that for at least a while on chat.se, so it wouldn't surprise me if it was always like that here too...

IPS chat link has gone to host=interpersonal.stackexchange.com for as long as I can remember.

rene

Maybe I'm just getting old and can't remember what things looked liked yesterday ...

On the plus side: Everyday is a new experience.

Tinkeringbell

As long as you leave it at that...

rene

Sure. Remind me tomorrow I said that ...

Rob

@rene I don't recall it being that way a couple of weeks ago, it simply took you to the main page of one of the three chat servers; depending on where you came from. Q#2: We do have a "Site" tab if you come to our chat server from another chat server, using the 'site switcher' (image below). Q#3: It's a bug because switching to our meta's chat main page shows SEDE's room as the only one available (here

(The Tavern) isn't listed). Q#4: There's seems to be an unfinished redesign underway.

rene

@Rob but that is because you are on a different chat server. Chat.so, chat.mse and chat.se are not the same ad have different rooms, they are not synced or so.

Rob

"but that", which word or sentence does "that" refer to?

rene

to point 3, the bug part.

I've posted a message in both SEDE rooms as a demonstration: mse, se

Maybe it had been more fun if the message were identical ...

Rob

Link from Meta's hamburger: https://chat.meta.stackexchange.com/?tab=site&host=meta.stackexchange.com

Link from switcher': https://chat.stackexchange.com/?tab=site&sort=active&host=meta.stackexchange.com

rene

/chat.meta.stackexchange.com/ !== /chat.stackexchange.com/

Notice the meta ... it is complicated / confusing.

Rob

09:46

I see it now, but that's where the switcher takes you (from Stack Overflow's hamburger's chat's switcher) when you switch to Meta.

Indeed, the other sites take you to the wrong chat server:

Martin

Well, I think it always worked that way. The site switcher shows you rooms on that chatsterver chat.stackexchange.com which are associated with SO or associated with Meta Stack Exchange.

But it does not take you to the other chatservers - chat.stackoverflow.com, chat.meta.stackexchange.com.

BTW it does not make any difference whether you choose main site or meta site for some Stack Exchange site - the same rooms are shown. This was changed in 2016 before these two types of rooms were shown separately. (E.g., there was one list of rooms where the parent site is Mathematics and another one for Mathematics Meta. Now they are both in the same list.)

Rob

10:22

@Martin Following your link "changed in 2016", then M.A.R.'s link in his question "This room" goes to a simple URL: chat.stackexchange.com (which takes me to the last site I switched to using the picker (Marc♦️'s word, or Switcher; what we've been calling it). That actual last site I went to directly was different, so either the server remembers or I had a cookie that

used the simple URL to take me to a specific site tab.

The picker ought to recognize MSE as a different server from all the other per-site-meta chat servers.

Martin

I guess the "simple url" takes me to the last thing which I used. That might be the tab "favorite" or the tab "site".

@Rob But then it would not be possible to use the switcher to get to rooms on this chatserver associated with Meta Stack Exchange (or Stack Overflow).

Of course, I do not know whether it was an intentional designe choice, that it is possible to make Meta Stack Exchange a parent site also on chat.stackexchange.com.

Rob

@Martin Yes, that's what is being complained about in Q3.

Martin

Ok, so I will add that I do not see Q3 as a bug. (But that should be clear from my previous messages.)

Rob

The last site I visited directly, from the Hamburger, is Space.SE. But the last site I visited from the Switcher was Physics.SE, and the simple URL takes me there (to Physics, instead of Space; the actual last visited):

Martin

For me chat.stackexchange.com almost always goes to favorite rooms - since that's the tab which I use most of the time.

Rob

10:32

@Martin Well, I think it's a bug because we can't get to The Tavern; others may well see that as a Feature (benefit).

Back in 15 minutes.

Martin

But if you "correct" the bug in the way you describe, then you would not be able to get to this room - it is now the only room on chat.stackexchange.com associated with meta.

The questions is whether it was good decision to have three different chatservers and to allow SO and MSE as parent sites on chat.stackexchange.com.

I would hope that people who decided to do it this way had some reasons for doing that. (Being just an average users, there might be many details in the background I am completely unaware of.)

Rob

10:49

I see @rene escaped this conversation almost an hour ago ...

rene

real life is happening

2

Rob

Understood, here too; just checking back for a second.

@Martin Yes, SEDE'S lone room should probably be moved over here with us on MSE's chat server (since we take their Q&As, usually): chat.meta.stackexchange.com

@Martin There is 'room at the Inn'.

Sonic the K-Day Hedgehog

@Martin Originally, the plan was to have separate chat servers for all sites in the network. But that didn't pan out because those individual chat servers had very little traffic each, unlike SO's server which had tons of traffic by comparison. So it was decided to merge all the non-SO servers into a single one. That combined server had the same amount of overall traffic as SO's one.

2

I'm not sure if it's still the case today, but it still remained the case for many years later.

Meta.SE has its own server for two reasons: first, because this server houses some SE-internal chat rooms which contain content that need to be separated from normal moderators (who have mod access on chat.SE but not here), and second, so the team can test changes to chat here on this low-traffic server before rolling them out to the much larger chat.SO and chat.SE servers.

2

@rene Interrupted too many times by people smelling you? ;)

Tinkeringbell

11:12

@rene Mine might start happening soon too... it's almost time for lunch :P

Martin

@Rob I am not sure which room you mean by "room at the Inn".

Rob

The link prior to that line, as rene mentioned there's a duplicity.

Martin

@Rob I am not sure whether that is technically possible. But I recall that when I created the room on chat.meta.stackexchange, some people said that old room is worth keeping for several reasons: !. They primarily use chat.stackexchange.com, so they would not notice new activity on another chatserver. 2. Newbies might not even know how to use chat.meta.stackexchange.com.

Having said that, the old SEDE room is dead silent most of the time.

rene

that ^

Martin

I still don't see any room called "room at the Inn". Maybe I completely misunderstood what you're trying to say.

rene

11:21

@Rob at 10:45 CET it is a fixed ritual including coffee, vitamin shot (apple), stand-up, other phone calls. That keeps me busy.

Rob

Also, "Inn" and "Tavern" are used interchangeably in English; "room (space available) at the Inn'" is a popular expression.

Tavern

A tavern is a place of business where people gather to drink alcoholic beverages and be served food, and (historically) where travelers would receive lodging. An inn is a tavern that has a license to put up guests as lodgers. The word derives from the Latin taberna whose original meaning was a shed, workshop, stall, or pub. Over time, the words "tavern" and "inn" became interchangeable and synonymous. In England, inns started to be referred to as public houses or pubs and the term became standard for all drinking houses. == Australia == "Wowser" was a negative term for Christian moralists...

Martin

If by duplicity you mean that there are two rooms devoted to SEDE, that is intentional.

So "Room at the Inn" is just a different name for Tavern on the Meta?

If that's what you meant, I don't see why you mentioned that in reply to that specific message. (Or maybe you meant the message before?)

Rob

@rene rene doing standup; a packed house.

Martin

Tavern on Meta is on the chatsever chat.meta.stackexchange.com - and it is not among the rooms on chat.stackexchange.com which have meta as their parent site.

Rob

We are well off-track; and with that I'm bowing out.

Q: Why was this closed and then re-opened without adjustments and why some comments left and other removed?

I'm curious why a mod closed this question Time to reconsider the secret ballot methodology? and turned right back around and re-opened it without any edits? The comment was "Not suitable for this site" during that closure. I'm also curious to know if this is something normal or if any other mods...

discussion

Am I allowed to put link here for others to see in case they can elaborate for me?

On the post of course but FYI for here I suppose, just in case.

John Dvorak

Well... you can certainly try.

rene

@PimpJuiceIT it is unlikely we are going to resolve local site policy here first before anyone responded on your meta question. We'll first wait what the mod has to say.

Snow

13:50

I imagine that the simplest answer is is the answer. The moderator either pressed the wrong button or changed their mind shortly after taking the action.

Or... and I hate to think this... isn't there a door?

user400654

err

Snow

@Tinkeringbell We don't keep all of the bathroom doors closed all the time - like to have a through-flow of air through the house.

user400654

my web extension does that some times

Shadow 10 Years Wizard

@user400654 copy images?

user400654

yea

Tinkeringbell

@Snow O.o... I really can't imagine that XD

user400654

it has drag&drop image support for so/se chat

Shadow 10 Years Wizard

I've seen weirder extension, see "hammertime". @user400654

user400654

so if i drop an image here, it uploads it to i.stack and submits it

Tinkeringbell

15:30

(I mean I can imagine liking to have some fresh air flow through the house, just not leaving the toilet doors open to achieve such)

user400654

Middle click is nasty

I rarely use it.

user400654

all the time

Snow

I have five buttons on my mouse - I still only ever use two of them.

Shadow 10 Years Wizard

@Tinkeringbell toilets always have windows outside, or at least to some central air shaft of the building, so it makes sense to use that as source for fresh air. :)

@Snow what does the red button do?

Activating "Nuke Them All" command? :P

Snow

@Shadow10YearsWizard Turns off the OASIS.

Tinkeringbell

@Shadow10YearsWizard Actually, most of the ones I know don't have windows...

Shadow 10 Years Wizard

15:37

@Snow oh, not that bad.

@Tinkeringbell no windows in toilets?? There must be a rule against that.... ;)

How air should be refreshed in the toilets then?

Tinkeringbell

@Shadow10YearsWizard We have a vent to get rid of smells, like we have one in the shower to get rid of steam

Νеvеrꭑoꭇе

@Shadow10YearsWizard will give you a Christmas gift for once. Cherish this exception I'm doing.

Tinkeringbell

And as the door isn't sealed like a vacuum, it allows for air to go in when the vent sucks air out.

Lowering the tone some more: Only the English have a Groom of the Stool....

Groom of the Stool

The Groom of the Stool (formally styled: "Groom of the King's Close Stool") was the most intimate of an English monarch's courtiers, responsible for assisting the king in excretion and ablution. The physical intimacy of the role naturally led to his becoming a man in whom much confidence was placed by his royal master and with whom many royal secrets were shared as a matter of course. This secret information—while it would never have been revealed, for it would have led to the discredit of his honour—in turn led to his becoming feared and respected and therefore powerful within the royal court...

Tinkeringbell

16:03

I would've hated being a king. I can do that myself, thanks very much!

Shadow 10 Years Wizard

@Snow can't see how the way a man poop can be "discredit of his honour", but yeah, that's something we won't have these days...

@Rob I wish, but alas! Not my toilets. :(

Closest I had were during army, in several places we had a hole in the ground as toilets. (very wide, several meters, so few people could use it in the same time.)

Snow

@Shadow10YearsWizard No, that's not really the case here. The implication is that the Groom of the Stool (being always close to the King) would be privy to intimate and personal Royal discourse that could not be shared.

Rob

@Snow There are worse (better?, not) jobs. Did you see the movie: The Last Emperor

Shadow 10 Years Wizard

@Snow what Royal discourse?

@Snow never seen it before. Nice, but could you also use those toilets? Or are they just for decoration?

@user400654 nice! With buttons?

Snow

@Shadow10YearsWizard It's "Manic Miner", and old 8-bit platform game. The toilets are enemies.

...don't I have a transifex account?

I don't spend a lot of time on SO in any language; I only noticed it when I mis-clicked the follow button on a piece of questionable piece of spam, which I will conveniently link here.

I have a question:

How hard would it be really, to bring dark mode to the other SE sites?

From what I remember from other dev responses to the same issue... More difficult than it seems.

Consider that the SO per-site metas haven't gotten dark mode yet.

Well... perhaps that's a weak argument. Far less people visit the per-site meta on SO than, for example, Super User or another network site.

All the same, not easy I guess.

Ollie

Yes. The different-language versions of SO have it too.
