I have a Sunny Windows...

The one who reported didn't even flag as spam themselves. :/

@cig isn't pingable here. meh.

rene

08:08

@ShadowTheVaccinatedWizard they could have flagged before they reported?

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

@rene nope, the answer was at score 0 when I saw and flagged it.

Spam flag cause auto downvote, so no spam flags were cast.

(author was at 1 rep, so no upvote to "negate" the auto downvote either)

huh spammer got spam through SE defense.

Not anymore.

@JNat cross site spammer for a good start of your week. Thanks!

DavidPostill

Due to the nature of the spam it was custom flagged by @cig
> Exact copy of this answer posted at roughly the same time, both from recent accounts with no other contributions. Also, these are the only instances of the domain across the network. I've custom flagged both.

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

@DavidPostill sorry but I disagree.

Spam should be flagged as spam.

DavidPostill

I handled the Super User flag.

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

And that's pure, raw, spam.

DavidPostill

@ShadowTheVaccinatedWizard If you disagree take it up with @cig in chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/11540/charcoal-hq

He's there now

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

@DavidPostill nah, all good.

Disagree but don't consider it big enough deal to confront anyone.

Still got a small piece of cake, going to make coffee to have excuse to eat it.

rene

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

rene

@ShadowTheVaccinatedWizard good idea, I'll have a coffee as well

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

@Spevacus would you like a tea too? Perhaps blue tea? :D

daily ping for @M.A.R. so he won't think I forgot him

Mar 13 '18 at 16:21, by M.A.R.

Daily thanks to @Sha for the daily ping

@rene cake too small, can't share. Sorry! :D

There were three pieces originally, one survived. Until now.

Journeyman Geek

08:51

wait... 3 month old cake?

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

@JourneymanGeek hours, not months. ;)

Coworker gave me three at around 9 AM

Journeyman Geek

DavidPostill

@JourneymanGeek Some kinds of cake last a lot longer than that - my mums xmas cake for example. It's fruit cake and as long as it's wrapped to stay moist ...

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

His daughter keeps baking, cakes overflow his house so he brings them here. ;)

Journeyman Geek

@DavidPostill IIRC also has a bunch of brandy to keep it ~~drunk~~ preserved

DavidPostill

08:53

@JourneymanGeek Sherry in her case ...

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

@DavidPostill how gray is it by now? All fruit cakes I've had in the past didn't survive more than couple of weeks. :(

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowTheVaccinatedWizard basically its slowly saturated with booze so it dosen't go bad

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

@JourneymanGeek ohh lol

Journeyman Geek

@DavidPostill Well I know it theoratically :D

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

Never tried.

Journeyman Geek

08:54

We don't do booze

DavidPostill

@ShadowTheVaccinatedWizard I don't have any left - IIRC I ate the last slice in March

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

@DavidPostill nice! I posted here my mom's 80 y/o bday cake, few months ago. No fruits though. :)

Journeyman Geek

That's a really old cake ._.

@JourneymanGeek nah it didn't survive more than two weeks. :D

Poor @triple, working hard to earn 20 rep for his bot.

10 earned, 10 more to go.

Journeyman Geek

09:21

I've never quite understood edits for bot rep...

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

@JourneymanGeek yeah, better just one decent post and be done with it.

Journeyman Geek

yup

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

Edits also have risk of being deleted, and then you're stuck with disabled bot. ;)

Happened to @Ann

People are just afraid of posting in MSE, even old time users. lol

Journeyman Geek

That's something that needs working on ._.

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

@JourneymanGeek yup. I suggest $1000 fine for anyone who refuse to post on MSE.

Journeyman Geek

09:30

@ShadowTheVaccinatedWizard lol

Shadow The Vaccinated Wizard

Money will be used for a fund called "Make Meta More Friendly".

Journeyman Geek

Well - in a sense its a tough crowd, and we kinda had to deal with... a buncha stuff ;D

someone's bump-editing posts that haven't been edited for 4 years (11 if we ignore Community https/commonmark edits)... should those be rejected? or what's our policy on suggested edits like this

(different from bobble's yesterday because that post got bumped anyway, and it was a significant broken markdown fix, this is just tiny spelling fixes on posts that are completely buried)

(I'm asking because I just got edit privileges and I don't know if this site has a particular standard/metric for these things; my site's suggested edit rules are very specific)

rene

If the content gets better and everything gets fixed (so not just one spelling error while leaving other blatant errors untouched) I would approve such edits, even on old posts.

hyper-neutrino

hm, okay. it was just s/seperate/separate, plus a minor clarification

though this specific user is starting to edit many posts all that are very old, and while I usually allow some minor edits, I have swapped to rejecting them on codegolf if the same user is spamming too many. doesn't seem to be a real problem right now though

wait, it's tripleee's bot. never mind, this is probably fine xD

should've checked the profile description; it's a chat bot to prevent specific rooms from freezing. oops, my bad

rene

it really shouldn't matter who it is.

hyper-neutrino

right, ik. but it explains why. although, i also just realized they have 31 rep on SO ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ anyway if it is really an issue mods will take care of it and if not then i'll just mind my own business

rene

20:34

I suggested earlier to tripleee to suggest tag wikis and excerpts. It is relative easier / guaranteed rep and doesn't bump any posts. (assuming you're capable of forming a decent English sentence or two)

hyper-neutrino

ah yeah, that sounds like a better idea

i usually just make a post to get rep for my bots/socks :p but that is definitely harder (IMO) than tag wikis.

someone on my site once made a post from a bot account to get it 20 rep for chat and instead got over 200, lol

Catija

The problem I have is that editing stuff from 2010 means a ton of extremely old cruft is showing up. That one about referring to SE sites is in no way current

Even if editing posts, at least edit new ones.

rene

That might be unfortunate for the old cruft but if it has lost its value, maybe it is time to delete it?

Catija

20:53

@rene I mean. The question itself isn't bad but no one has time to fix it. My request to Legal to actually update that terminology page Robert quoted is about six months old... and I don't think it's actually been updated yet?

rene

fair enough.

Catija

Hahahahahaha the page was updated (I know because it says "The Overflow" for the blog)... but it specifically reserves "Stack Overflow" for the site and "Stack Exchange, Inc." for the company.... which we don't even do ourselves.

rene

21:08

@Catija but that is the gap between what legal calls "the law" and what the rest of the world calls "common sense"

Catija

Except that the community would end up a lot happier if we followed the legal name usage instead of calling the company "Stack Overflow" and confusing community members who think that means the site only or leaves them wondering which is meant.

rene

22:03

True that. Naming things is hard.

bobble

@hyper-neutrino when I want to procrastinate, sometimes that looks like going to a random site and anon-editing 3 or so old posts to fix spelling errors. I usually use search to find ones that have a significant number of problems.
