My god the Community user went on a delete spree:

Someone went through and downvoted some (well, a lot of) old dupes and closed questions.

@forestdistrustsStackExchange Only cause you can't see them ._.

@GWarner We have a bot called smoke detector that notifies us of spam, amongst other things, so we dump them into that room once we don't need it... its kinda SE humour ;)

Wolf

smoke detector is a bot?

Journeyman Geek

@Wolf Well - yeah, though its part of a bigger project

Wolf

ok

smoke detector is acting weird

community is like the owner of the site

Journeyman Geek

@Wolf It'll self delete if a post has been handled

Wolf

11:01 AM

ok

Random Person

@Catija If you don't mind, I would like to have a conversation with you in a private chat room.

Wolf

you have a dog in your profile

@JourneymanGeek you have a dog in your profile

Journeyman Geek

@Wolf Yeah, I do

Wolf

lhasa apso

Journeyman Geek

He was a mutt. Half mini schnauzer, half mysterious stranger

Wolf

11:05 AM

ok

my dog barks alot

and i have 3 dogs

same breed

Wolf

11:26 AM

how do you paste images

Journeyman Geek

@Wolf on chat? The upload button on the desktop view

if you're on mobile there's no way to do it

Wolf

i am on laptop

ThiefMaster

oh wow and you cannot actually paste there

even though that's pretty much a standard feature for most chats nowadays...

Wolf

i cant see any upload

how do i do it

DavidPostill

@Wolf ^^^

If you are using the mobile view on a desk top then switch as follows

Wolf

11:39 AM

ok i just searched they say i need 100 reputation

and i have 74

DavidPostill

@Wolf 😬

Journeyman Geek

@ThiefMaster SE chat hasn't gotten attention in ages

ok

@Wolf 84 :)

11:48 AM

@DavidPostill Post 1: Already recently reported [ MS ]

rene

sdc poof

SmokeDetector

@rene No such command 'poof'.

rene

lol

I like making a mess of the transcript ....

DavidPostill

@rene I didn't realise sdc does not give feedback. So I !!/ reported it :)

rene

well, I was kind of unsure myself if it actually worked or not. So I checked in CHQ.

while I was at it added a watch for the domain ...

DavidPostill

11:52 AM

Wolf

🥱🤣🤣🤣

Rob

12:16 PM

@Wolf Go to a site where you have reputation, upload your image to an answer, copy the Imgur URL and cancel your answer. Paste that URL into the comment box here.

Wolf

my reputation on stackoverflow is 34 othersites 1 reputation

Journeyman Geek

@Rob don't forget don't hit post

Cause we have so many selfies cause people forget that

._.

Wolf

¯_(ツ)_/¯༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

-_-

Rob

12:46 PM

@Wolf Apparently you only need 10 rep: meta.stackexchange.com/a/75498/282094 meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/267479/how-to-upload-an-image

Ekadh Singh

10 rep isn’t too difficult to get @Wolf if you wait for an easy question.

Wolf

@Rob how come i can't see the upload button

i have 84 reputation

Ekadh Singh

Possibly a bug?

Rob

Dunno

Wolf

guys upvote on my answer

go to my profile you will see my answer

upvote

Ekadh Singh

12:53 PM

What if we upvote then unupvote after you get the image

Rob

Only if it's good. Asking for rep isn't well received.

Ekadh Singh

@Rob we could always unupvote after they get the image

Wolf

my answer was accepted from the owner

and it has 6 upvotes

Meta Andrew T.

@Wolf are you on PC or mobile?

Wolf

pc

DavidPostill

12:56 PM

@MetaAndrewT. We already went through this. See my screenshots ^^^ from when I tried to help him.

Wolf

but i can't see the upload button

DavidPostill

@Wolf What do see at the bottom right corner of your chat window?

Meta Andrew T.

@DavidPostill I see, blame my super broken internet today...

Wolf

i can only see the send button

thats all

Rob

@Wolf We'd ask for a screenshot,but,well you know. 😀

DavidPostill

1:01 PM

then you are in mobile view. See the image I posted earlier. Click the 3 bars at the top left and then "Full Site"

Wolf

ok

Meta Andrew T.

well, I never use Chat's upload button though... easier to copy-paste image on an answer box and get the link...

Wolf

i cant see that

DavidPostill

Do you see the "upload" button now?

@Wolf Can't see what?

Wolf

the 3 bars

DavidPostill

1:03 PM

1 hour ago, by DavidPostill

Meta Andrew T.

FWIW, mobile view only has an "arrow" icon, not a textual "send" button

DavidPostill

Well if you can't see the 3 bars your system must be really broken ...

Rob

Level Up: Linear Regression in Python – Part 5

Ryan Donovan on June 19, 2021

In the fifth lesson of the series we’ll learn how to build more flexible linear models by adding interaction and polynomial terms. We’ll fit and inspect our models both mathematically and visually to understand how they work. In the process, we’ll continue to practice our Python skills and discuss some of the merits (and drawbacks)…

DavidPostill

1:08 PM

@wolf What browser and OS are you using?

rene

On chat you need 100 rep to get the image upload button: meta.stackexchange.com/a/317856/158100 Use the workaround offered by Rob (and others): Upload the image in a post on the main site, copy the url, paste in chat. Undo / discard the post you uploaded the image in.

3

Wolf

using Chrome

Rob

^^ 👍

Ekadh Singh

@DavidPostill I can’t see three bars either, or an upload button

I’m using safari

Wolf

some one should upvote on my answer

DavidPostill

1:12 PM

@EkadhSingh Yeah, 100 rep needed. @rene found the post

Meta Andrew T.

@Wolf not really worthy

Wolf

ok

rene

@Wolf please stop begging for upvotes. That is not appreciated.

Ekadh Singh

Is everything Rene says just going to get starred now XD

Wolf

lol

rene

1:15 PM

Just admit I'm star-worthy

Wolf

yep

Ekadh Singh

Even rene’s profile picture forms a star :O

Rob

It's avatar shape, it's subliminal.

Wolf

:O

🤔🤔

user728672

@JourneymanGeek Yes I've seen Smokey activated in other sites' chat. I've never seen a bot actively scrubbing a chat though. I like it.

Wolf

1:22 PM

@SmokeDetector if you're a bot they can deactivate you right?

DavidPostill

@Wolf The bot users with sufficient privileges can, yes.

Ekadh Singh

To learn more about smoke detector you can go to it’s main chatroom

Wolf

iok

DavidPostill

Sometimes one of those users will log in to the bot ... and post humorous responses to SD commands :)

user728672

Or let it die because they forgot to change battery every at DST

user728672

1:24 PM

I like to follow up and see what it flags sometimes

DavidPostill

@GWarner There are multiple backup bots which should come online if the main bot fails.

!!/alive

SmokeDetector

@DavidPostill ... did I miss something?

user728672

It does get a lot of false positives though. especially from sites that need to show links

user728672

It's actually good David. A lot of spam bots out in the ether.

user728672

@SmokeDetector did you change yourbattery last DST switch?

DavidPostill

1:28 PM

@GWarner The autoflagging is pretty accurate

72535 posts have been autoflagged, totalling 227919 flags:

72104 (99.41%) TP
350 (0.48%) FP

user728672

yes it is.

user728672

And here I thought I knew everything :)

user728672

damn one sec... i had inbox message. smokey did you delete it.

user728672

@rene THank you, rene

Rob

Autoflags must be greater than 99% correct, that's the way it's setup: charcoal-se.org/training/autoflagging

Wolf

1:33 PM

why

Rob

So you'll ask why.

Wolf

yes

user728672

keep my sanity and reputation... either get a bigger boat or be shark food.

user728672

okay that alarm brings up a question..

Wolf

ok

user728672

1:37 PM

if its a blacklisted user. why are they even getting in in the first place

user728672

Oh okay. makes sense. let me make another 'Jaws' analogy....

DavidPostill

@GWarner Because blacklisted users get flagged so that mortals can review.

Rob

It was for a cat on KBD

Wolf

waiting for your question

user728672

i need a good chuckle

Wolf

1:40 PM

ok

DavidPostill

How many Einsteins does it take to change a lightbulb?
That depends on the speed of the change and the mass of the bulb. Or vice versa, of course. It just might be easier to leave the bulb and change the room. It’s all relative.

user728672

Damn . reminds me. I have a physics/movie prop question...

DavidPostill

How many Mac users does it take to change a lightbulb?
You have to replace the whole motherboard.

Wolf

lollll

Glorfindel

Wolf

DavidPostill

@Glorfindel Goedenmiddag

user728672

hmm mixing my rooms again. i think its best to ask in math or physics. though it originates with a movie prop...

Wolf

why

Ekadh Singh

1:49 PM

@DavidPostill if you have infinite time the answer is 1, possibly less

Wolf

whatt?

user728672

i saw movie props (t-shirts) that was a physics equation to explain "This is how I roll"

Wolf

your on movies and tv

user728672

But one said "Here, let me explain.." But the viewer never gets to see the equation clearly.

user728672

yea ive done some of my service time in there

Wolf

1:52 PM

send the link

i don't know what your talking about

user728672

Just how might a formula look that is obviusly a condescending statement , that means "You will never understand"

John Dvorak

user728672

Ekadh Singh
