I haven't really been following things, what happened to the Ask Question wizard?

woohoo less then 50 accepted flags to go for my marshall badge
 
9:45 AM
@Luuklag that's one I can't get here :D
 
poor you ;)
Binding flags is something I can't get, so now we're even.
 
(I got it on SU before I became a mod :D )
much much easier to get it through spam flags pre smokey
5 repcaps to legendary (I'm surprised I am closer to it here than SU by quite a lot) which I'm looking forward to
and of course, my second 100k
 
more swag for you!
 
@JourneymanGeek You'll get them if you step down: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/127493/… ;) So basically you can get them, there's just a very loooong delay in awarding them ;)
I'm 7 helpful flags away from having 500 of em.
 
10:01 AM
@Tinkeringbell I did that once :D
but the shortest route to not being a mod is .... even harder to get that badge :D
 
Should've made it to 500 helpful flags first ;)
 
\o/
NOOOOOOW you tell me
:D
lol
 
I'm a bit slow from time to time. Especially today.
 
lol
I was about to answer the question you just deleted
so not soooooo slow
(Its the kinder option but...)
 
Oh well feel free to undelete it then, I have a 'you probably reap what you sow' comment ready ;)
 
10:11 AM
naw, I'm good :D
 
Proof that I'm slow: I listened to an interesting podcast weeks ago, and want to turn it into an IPS question, but a few attempts later I still haven't posted anything.
 
@Tinkeringbell Wow then what does that make me?
Sleepless, obviously
 
The newest outrage is apparently over Easter buns coming to stores now
 
is everyone hot and cross over them?
 
10:20 AM
I haven't slept too much either, I managed to mess up my biological clock this vacation. It's about time for chocolate Easter eggs ;)
 
So apparently Easter is 3 months away, and they're selling buns that would in no way endure till then
 
They're... not supposed to be kept that long XD
 
I don't think anything is but my mindset is different from most people
But we're the same in the sleepless aspect
In other news, I'm outraged at myself leaving an egg boiling for 45 minutes in the kitchen
It has assumed shapes previously thought impossible
 
I want a picture :D
 
Rob
Use it in an "Egg Drop" competition.
 
10:24 AM
@Rob Unfortunately it has already been dropped
Several times
@Tinkeringbell It's on my Samsung phone and Samsung PC drivers suck
 
Rob
Did it bounce?
 
@Rob Not much room to bounce in the boiling pan
It does look bulletproof everywhere else though
. . .
It's making funny hissing sounds
 
@M.A.R. :( I guess I have to go on an egg-boiling science trip during lunch then.
 
@Tinkeringbell More fun but more difficult to clean up is leaving a can of tuna fish boiling until all the water evaporates
I have not done that. Not twice.
 
You're on your way to become a chef ;)
 
10:29 AM
@M.A.R. or setting it on fire with TP on top....
 
The worst we ever had was when mom got a new membership card for something, put it on the counter... but it was still sticky from the glue they use to put it on a letter? So anyways she put a baking tray on top of it, then the baking tray with plastic membership card when into the oven.
That smell was horrific....
 
@Tinkeringbell Making foul-mouthed British showrunners proud since 2005
That feels like yesterday.
I was six yesterday
 
@Tinkeringbell okay. How did it taste?
 
I think that was the first time my parents ate pizza that they ordered and had delivered :P
 
@Tinkeringbell I'm feeling nauseous already
But I like the imagination
It's more important than knowledge, Einstein said so himself
Slowly crosses off baking membership cards off the list of things to do before I die

@M.A.R. We can see how that could go wrong:

A: A Yaakov Ellis-inspired Meta.SE poetry contest: Write poems, win rep!

Yaakov EllisI know that the contest is closed, but I feel like I still have to post this here anyway: Once upon a Wint Bash morrow, while I pondered, full of sorrow Over endless db rows recording stats of games galore — While I tried, nearly succeeding, to prevent the mounds of cheating Suddenly there came ...

 
Yaakov should have his own wiki post titled 'Collected works' XD

@Tinkeringbell I was looking at that stacking with award post if the domains mentioned needed upfront watching by smokey. I can't find prior posts with those domains. Was your delete vote due to something spammy on it? If so, I might want to watch that in Smokey.
 
@rene Nah, I always delete off-topic stuff immediately. Though I was waiting to see if people would VTC or spam flag as I wasn't sure which one to pick myself.
 
Okay.
Maybe I'll add those domains, just in case. Thanks
 
Sounds good to me!
 
1:28 PM
@Tinkeringbell maybe you can slap a different status tag on this dupe you just closed as well: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/5255/…
 
@Luuklag Been thinking about it, it was flagged for changing the link and the tag... but somehow it wasn't picked up with the tag handling yesterday.
 
Yeah they're supported now, so by-design kinda makes sense, but then again it's a FR, so then it no longer makes sense
 
I dropped a line in mod chat :) Hopefully the second part of that flag will be handled today
 
@Tinkeringbell that didn't take long: chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/56645538#56645538 ....
 
@rene Hmm. Reposted verbatim, but after the MSE one was deleted so perhaps it's legitimately someone that's clueless.
 
1:42 PM
might be. They got my comment, now they got the one from Glorfindel. What else can we do?
 
close and delete, but I don't have the reputation needed on stackapps
 
@Tinkeringbell I gave it the last spamflag
so its nuked now
 
That was not what she meant ...
 
Eh, if there were more people that thought it was spam... not too worried about it.
After all, I didn't know what to do with it myself, so getting upset at others decisions then would be out of line ;)

Hi y'all, I'm trying to find a question/answer on mother meta that talks about the differences between diamond mods and high-rep users (vis-a-vis what they can and can't do). Anyone know if such a post exists?
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing Seen meta.stackexchange.com/q/75189/369802 already?
(It's not really explicit or has any side by side comparison)
 
@Tinkeringbell Yeah, I had a read through it (and is my fall-back option), but I was hoping for a more "A can do X, but B can do Y", if such a post exists
Doesn't look like the faq has anything, so Im guessing it's unlikely to exist :/
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing I know the faq on chat moderation is structured something like it, it talks about users, room owners and moderators.
But I can't remember anything like it for main site moderation, no :(
 
I'll just add in a couple of examples to the tag wiki I'm working on, thanks anyway tho :)
 
5:07 PM
Good luck!
 
@cairdcoinheringaahing this is the closest when it comes to comparing privileges but that is between type of sites, not about mods vs normals, at least not vis-a-vis. meta.stackexchange.com/a/160292/158100
 
5:25 PM
@rene That;s helpful for other things I've got in mind anyway (even if it isn't exactly what I was looking for) so thanks! :)

Who summoned me?
 
🚽
 
Nah, I made sure toilets can't summon me. It wasn't pleasant. :D
glaring at @M.A.R
@bjb568 it's in my Shadow
 
Hmm... I would like to make a building.
A building of masks.
Wait... I'm already making one.
It's not a building though.

Yay, looks like we're getting moderation stats on the sites

A: Will yearly moderation statistics be published on all sites this year, and future years?

Yaakov EllisWe agree that the data exposed in the “year in moderation” posts that Shog9 made annually were very useful for site moderators and content curators. We have therefore spent some time reviewing the scripts created by Shog9 used for making these posts and making the changes needed to keep them runn...

Winter Bash 2020 has come to an end. While we’re packing the hats into boxes to put them back on the shelf for next year, let’s take a look at a few hat-wearing avatars that brought a smile to our faces. Catija Rory Alsop Snow Adrian Mole Tsundoku Those are just a few. Check them…
 
@SonictheCuriouserHedgehog on the one hand that sounds fair, I imagine it being a ton of work coming up with them
But it also kinda ruins the game
