Happy belated newyears

Yeah, same.

I thought things would be more productive now I'm not in an office... but this is the second time this morning that a coworker is chatting at me 'just to wish you a happy new year' XD

@Tinkeringbell You know you can mute that ;)

It's a voice chat

Of course I can mute that but that's kinda obvious XD

Close the app ;)

I'm tempted

> could you copy and paste the question on google and then paste the answer

It doesn't need to get any more weird ....

Lemme guess. Exam question and Google is blocked :P

Must be

Honestly, next time hide a 'lmgtfy' link behind some other text, and hope they click it and get caught for fraud XD

Are you really that cruel?

I have a very low tolerance for cheaters, if that's what you're asking.

10:22 AM

I was just in time to close that before Tink hit the closehammer

But no, it was just bad advice ;)

@Luuklag Actually, I saw it was closed so only mashed delete ;)

No close hammers were even looked at XD

agree on the cheaters.

user334271

@user400654 is it a toilet?

user334271

I am trying to promote my new question but i m afraid if that would be spamming

user334271

it is mentioned in shadows den chat room

4:00 PM

Bounties are the usual way of promoting questions

user334271

okay

Could also be shared in various places, though it may be best to share it in places where the topic would be relevant, to ensure you're reaching people that would be interested in it

user334271

it is a new question so cannot be bountied

user334271

the site is beta and probably low traffic

If your question isn't about SE or things that MSE can answer, I'm not sure that mentioning it in an MSE chat room will be much help - perhaps find chat rooms for the sites where your questions were asked?

@JNat Cross-site spammer: stackexchange.com/users/20365515/bengodfrey, they keep linking to theappsolutions.com/blog/how-to/live-stream-website-like-twitch on ell.SE and English SE.

Spevacus

@Ollie Probably not necessary to include what they spam. JNat can see everything, deleted or not, at the network level.

Ollie

@Spevacus No... just realized I put in ell and English, which are the same sites.

No wait. English Language Learners and the Usage site.

If they only spammed one site so far maybe ask the spammer to also post on ELU so it matches your cross-site spammer report here. You don't want to confuse JNAT

@Ollie Ironic.

6:05 PM

status completed batch ...

I was wondering why my flags weren't handled but adding status-completed is a staff only action?

Yeah I tend to avoid handling those... as staff is supposed to know better which things are and aren't completed :)

Same for basically every other status tag except status-review.

Keep flagging though! ;)

Yeah, don't trust the flower to get it right. I'll keep flagging ;)

I mean, you don't have blue eyes... how could I trust you?

6:30 PM

Well ... true

A death-first search is when you lose your keys and travel to the depths of hell to find them, and then if they're not there you start checking your coat pockets.

We've secretly replaced this customer's instant coffee with our patented substitute. Let's see what she ... uh oh, I think she spotted us through the window. Now she's getting something from the closet ... oh jeez, she has a sword! Run!!

so why is 2407 not oneboxing

trailing slash

weird

why'd it have a trailing slash here and not in js chat

That, I can't easily see ;)

Q: Why so unfriendly (and unfair)?

-26

Earlier today I asked a question on Stack Overflow based on a problem I faced on LeetCode. Three issues: First, a user ranted saying how "these contest/challenge/competitive coding/hacking sites" are useless. He even downvoted the question, setting a precedent for rest of the question viewers. ...

Waiwaiwait.

Hold on.

Sometimes the forest is easily missed in the trees.

So this guy/gal is really saying, "someone was mean to me". Do they expect SO to control the behavior of all its users?

7:19 PM

yes

I have never seen this anywhere else.

i mean

@M.A.R. I have.

that's basically what's being asked any time someone demands downvotes require comments

Spevacus

When I first started reading the top answer I was like "Is this rene?" then I realized the answer was a mile long and was like "Oh so this is Cody"

(answer's still nicely done, don't mean to sound like I'm taking away from that)

7:21 PM

Not in the dumpster fire that's Twitter, nor Facebook, nor anywhere else, have people complained about an interaction with a single random user

You can exchange insults, somehow, this feels lower than that

@user400654 I know, I mean, I'm just having an epiphany here.

> Then, I pasted two links from the second user's profile saying that they aren't runnable either and in all fairness, asked him to downvote and comment on them too. Needless to say, he didn't.

i mean

the second user can't downvote their own posts

And this is not just a single post obviously. That would defeat my point. Really every second meta rant is like this.

Really every ~~second~~ meta rant is like this.

@rene Well you have the ones where someone is pissed of at the MODZ. That's sorta more understandable

@Spevacus The red glasses look good on him :)
