IT STILL EXISTED!

And I'm not a regular on either site

Used to be a SF regular :(

Spevacus

Oh :D

Journeyman Geek

I like my spammers like Sir Walter Releigh would have wanted his execution to be...

Quick and Painless.

Rob

On MSE it's difficult to spam flag manually, if you read quickly and open the flag dialog the post often disappears out from under you - 10 seconds is a long lifetime for MSE, a few sites do take hours.

Spevacus

Super true. It also seems like most spam MSE sees is really, really obvious and typically autoflagged.

Rob

The last one, above, has 3 flags in 30 minutes.

Journeyman Geek

Kinda tempted to just pull out aibobot and double flag, but that's against the spirit and letter of the bot-rules :D

Rob

It would be unusual to pin it, but not against the rules.

@JourneymanGeek Um, as a mod, isn't your flag binding?

Journeyman Geek

03:39

@SonictheCuriouserHedgehog on sites I am not a mod on... No

Sonic the Curiouser Hedgehog

I did ask about this in the CHQ room, by the way

Journeyman Geek

I have shredded the spammer like homework due in an hour

In theory I could let the au and sf mods know but eh. User is self deleting in theory

Anyone for cake?

rene

You take first, I'll have the remainder.

Snow

There's a lot of booze in there.

rene

Oh, then I'll have two.

Snow

The robins are hollow and full of brandy. The Snowman is full of eggnog.

Shadow the Hatter Wizard

10:23

@Snow wow, insane. Bought the cake, or made it yourself?

@rene you didn't cast a vote yourself... head scratch ;)

rene

it wasn't eligible. I committed a sin by invoking downvotes from this room ...

Shadow the Hatter Wizard

oh... it was only at -2

Snow

@ShadowtheHatterWizard I made it, but I fibbed about the hollow robins and snowman - they're just modelling icing. I don't know if the cake is good or not, not started it yet.

Rob

10:53

Why settle for just mere cake:

Snow

Whoever invented that deserves a Nobel prize for services to humanity.

I just got Cruse of Oil

Journeyman Geek

@Snow unless it has pineapple....

@Snow which is an accurate reflection of the human condition sometimes... :D

Tinkeringbell

@JourneymanGeek We're going to use our new 'pizzarette' this evening and you bet there will be pineapple.

Journeyman Geek

._.

Tinkeringbell

Yeah, I'm not very enthusiastic either.

Journeyman Geek

I would pray for you, but some things not even $deities can fix :D

Tinkeringbell

11:15

Don't worry about that, I stopped praying for me quite a while back :P

Snow

I am not wholly against pineapple on pizza. I enjoy it in a "tastes of my childhood" kind of fashion.

Tinkeringbell

I can enjoy canned pineapple on pizza, not fresh... the canned ones are often sweeter, and they taste quite nice when heated. :)

Then again... The pizza's I eat are weird anyways, as they lack tomato sauce ;)

Snow

Blond pizzas. We make those a lot.

Tinkeringbell

11:36

I found I quite like barbecue pizzas as well :)

rene

How does that work? Throw a pizza on the BBQ and check back on it 2 hours later?

Rob

@Tinkeringbell Pineapple on pizza, an abomination. Isn't there any fruit we like more: peaches, apple, strawberries - yes, we like those fruits, but we wouldn't put them on pizza either. Pizza needs to stick with the fruit tomato, and leave it at that.
