What is up

Re: featured locally on MSE, we kind of already have that: Tavern's star wall :p

@Feeds The paranoid style in onebox development

@Shree Some reason they don't have the staff bit, apparently, I've let IT know.

@Catija Really annoying. When join as a staff they don't get label and dev give them label . Not automated process.

I mean... it can be more complicated than what you're saying. We have contractors and interns and because they're temporary, we may not give them the same markers for various reasons. I don't know whether that's the case here but... judging it as a failing on our part rather than by design seems a bit unkind.

They don't have 20,000 employees. Not everything needs automation. At best they have a checklist and manual steps. Needs some oversight, which the community provides. This is fine.

Thanks for honest reply.

When rene step in , I feel safe for step back.

@Luuklag not very sure that one is a spammer

@JourneymanGeek how so, looks pretty spammy to me

@Luuklag Look at the user

it miiiight be placeholder text to test something

It's 2 yes and 4 no, see comments there; no is correct.

@Rob I stand corrected then

I wonder who went to such lengths to create a burner account to post this:

;)

If its a burner account whistles

I don't think clearing stars stops one from starring

There was someone in here with a monica username, might be them

@JourneymanGeek it does, I can't star the message either

CAN I HAVE TWO ASSISTANTS FROM THE AUDIENCE PLEASE?

and I know I did so before

wierd

maybe its cause you did before

@Luuklag star this

@JourneymanGeek clear that :)

Try now

let me know if it fails

Ok

scienced

@JourneymanGeek Do I count?

Now try doing it from the transcript.

@Tinkeringbell you're a mod :D

@Mithical The error on that monica message showed up for me in chat as well

Can you start that message from Journey @mith

@Aibobot That's why I asked... I'm in the audience though :P

@Luuklag Succeeded.

@Luuklag reconfirmed with aibobot

@Mithical maybe because you're a RO

@JourneymanGeek what does aibo see?

@Luuklag aibo isn't

@Luuklag it just starred as per normal

and I can twinkle the stars unstar and restar it... which would be annoying

hmmm strange

I wonder why I get that same error on that monica message then

did you star it before?

Could be, but why do I get this error here then?

Because it is essentially the same action I take, but with a different error

I suspect only balpha really knows :D

Could be with the amount of messages that is in the active window

maybe

@JourneymanGeek I now get the "It's too late" my best guess would be that it has to do with some sort of grace period

that might be a thing too

@JourneymanGeek Also described by Sonic here: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/315885/…

@Feeds Mapping the path from nobox to onebox

@MetaAndrewT. when do we get twobox?

@EkadhSingh-ReinstateMonica We barely have one. Many times not even that. We don't have money for two.

@JourneymanGeek that depends, if you planted an apple seed, of course not. If you planted a box seed, of course.

Hm

Is there any point in asking users not to edit clearly off-topic content that's also clear enough for privileged users to recognize as off-topic and VTC/delete?

Not reaaaaaalllyyyy

@JourneymanGeek OK.

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog I'm on holiday, will have a look once I'm back. It's not difficult, just a binary search in the Wayback Machine for serverfault.com

Have a nice holiday @Glorfindel!

thx

Right here Jon skeet is listed as have gaining 0 rep in the past week, is this a bug?

if all of the upvotes on their gcc posts occured after they hit the rep cap, would any of those votes count toward that leaderboard?

given that it's a "rep" leaderboard, i'd assume not.

@EkadhSingh-ReinstateMonica Why wouldn't he have 0, search finds 0 posts.

i'd be quite surprised if across all 35k answers there wasn't a single answer that happened to have a google cloud collective tag, but that's not impossible

also, that's a search on the google cloud collective tag, that tag has 0 total questions

His last post was in June.

@Rob ah, I misunderstood what it meant, my bad (I thought it meant total rep earned in the past 7 days, not in a specific collectives tags)

It's far from foolproof, for example cutting the search to cast a wider net still says he doesn't answer recently; that doesn't prohibit an old answer from being upvoted, resulting in a recent gain.

Checking (only a couple) of the other users who did gain also doesn't show recent posts, so their gain must be from an older answer recently being upvoted; resulting in a gain in that category. --- It's safe to assume (without making a "Jon Skeet joke") that by some means his reputation changed (with so many posts available for people to hit); so overall it wouldn't be 0.

Click on 30 days and 12 months, to see small gains in that category.

@Ollie We shall see: meta.stackexchange.com/review/suggested-edits/79515

@Rob Didn't even format the code, tsk tsk.

They have rep 1, it is welcoming to explain their error and why it isn't helpful.

Updates to Privacy Policy (September 2021)

One salient change: the network was previously defined as "a set of related Internet sites and other applications for questions and answers" but is now defined as "a set of related Internet sites and other applications for asynchronous collaboration and sharing knowledge".

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog Likely related to the fact that things like Collectives (with Articles) are broader than Q&A

🚽

more a case of paid products were baked into SO, and as such SO is no longer just a Q&A site

imagine it has more to do with teams, than collectives

True, Teams also has articles.

I don't remember if Teams has a separate privacy policy.

@rene got an upvote as well

@rene Obviously it's related to the GltLab Collective /s
