@M.A.R. innocent look

@Mithical hey! Snitch! :D

I meant adult! Well, of course I did... ;)

Luuklag

7:41 AM

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 didn't there used to be more peas?

@JNat spammer for your backlog stackexchange.com/users/16960387/blackout-curtain?tab=accounts

And another one @JNat stackexchange.com/users/22409836/david-ray?tab=accounts

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

8:48 AM

@Luuklag yes, one is missing! Good eyes, I missed it lol. Going to check if there's any reason...

@Luuklag oh my, I'm afraid the reason is religion, in Judaism women are not allowed to sing or perform, so they hide women who are part of bands.

It's ages old tradition, they also tear paper ads posted on walls if they have women on them.

Since the performance is in Jerusalem, which is our religious center.... it does make some sense, though very annoying of course.

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 Ah they foresake their principles in turn for the $$$

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

9:58 AM

@Luuklag actually, it annoyed me so much I kept digging, and.... I might have been wrong... :/

Another show, not even in Israel.

So maybe she's just not taking part in their live shows and/or World Travel.

(is live streaming considered "World Travel"? ;))

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 wiki says she left them

twice? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fergie_(singer)

Luuklag

10:28 AM

@JourneymanGeek She also was a child actor, which got her into crystal meth...

Jnat has been checking in here, but didn't even drop a message :(

Journeyman Geek

Maybe he is watching the watchers...

Luuklag

Well I'm off to the hardware store, need to buy a drill bit

Something that will get some holes in the concrete sealing

Journeyman Geek

That's as much the drill bit as the drill

Luuklag

Yeah I've got a drill, but my bit is worn too much I think

So I need something with a diamond tip or something like tungsten or wolfram

Journeyman Geek

>_>

Wolfram is tungsten

JNat

10:34 AM

@Luuklag hi! \o

I'll work through the spammer backlog in a bit, after catching up with weekend notifications ;P

@Sha Are you going to give a bounty to Homieomorphism?

Luuklag

@JNat no worries, I don't think the backlog is all that big

@JNat And Hi :)

JNat

Journeyman Geek

pfft. that's hardly any :D

JNat

@JourneymanGeek that's not who I mean, they now have this one:

J. Rey Soul

J. Rey Soul, pseudonimo di Jessica Joy Seria Reynoso (Manila, 21 settembre 2000), è una cantante filippina. Nel 2019 è entrata nei Black Eyed Peas in qualità di turnista, per poi divenire componente ufficiale l'anno successivo. == Carriera == Ha partecipato alla prima edizione di The Voice of the Philippines, esibendosi nella sesta puntata e venendo scelta da apl.de.ap, uno dei componenti dei Black Eyed Peas. Viene eliminata nell'episodio 28 ad un passo dalle semifinali. Nel 2019 intraprende come ospite una tournée mondiale, assieme al gruppo Black Eyed Peas, e sempre assieme a loro e a Ozuna,...

For some odd reason, no English version...

> J. Rey Soul, pseudonym of Jessica Joy Seria Reynoso (Manila, 21 September 2000), is a Filipino singer.

In 2019 she joined the Black Eyed Peas as a session player, before becoming an official member the following year.

(Google Translate)

@Wolgwang yeah, he's decent, it's rare. It's really not trivial that shared account is forbidden.

Luuklag

And she is known for The Voice of the Phillipines

Cause they speak spanish in the phillipines

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 I think the extra problem is he stood for election

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@Luuklag who?

Luuklag

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 J Rey Soul

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@JourneymanGeek again, he had no idea what he was doing was wrong, I believe him.

Luuklag

11:07 AM

@JourneymanGeek It isn't as much as it is the problem, it is what ended up outing their dubious activity

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

And the way he writes now, accepting it, instead of raging.... is also awesome.

3

Journeyman Geek

@Luuklag funny thing is - I'd think it would be something I wouldn't pay particular attention to, unless there were other factors involved

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

I might be wrong and it all might be a charade so he can keep going and run again next year, but it's rare case where I give people the benefit of the doubt. :D

Wolgwang

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 Kudos :)

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

(as you might recall, I'm fast to pull the spammer trigger ;))

Journeyman Geek

11:10 AM

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 assuming there's an election next year

and needing to start from scratch

and people have long memories.

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@Luuklag oh, to be honest, the only one of them I know by solo songs is will.i.am

Journeyman Geek

I'd give him the benefit of the doubt

Wolgwang

"account was erased" Account deleted or suspended?

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@JourneymanGeek yeah, but still, he deserves the right to be able to run, whenever there will be new elections. :)

@Wolgwang where you see such message?

Anyway erased means deleted, plainly speaking.

Journeyman Geek

Deleted

Wolgwang

11:13 AM

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 In that answer..."The account was erased on November 12, right after I was immediately excluded from the election."

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

Suspended can be also called by those not familiar with the terms as "blocked", "banned", etc.

Journeyman Geek

can follow from the MSE post

Wolgwang

Can they create a new account?

Journeyman Geek

looks like they have

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@Wolgwang OP just don't know the terms, account still exists. I've edited the answer.

oh wait never mind, that account is new.

Journeyman Geek

11:16 AM

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 yup

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

So his original account was really deleted.

Wolgwang

> This account is temporarily suspended for rule violations. The suspension period ends on Nov 26 at 19:12.

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

Which is a shame, IMO.

Wolgwang

@Wolgwang Wut?

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@Wolgwang what about it is not clear?

He created new account after his original was deleted, it's against the rules.

Wolgwang

11:18 AM

O_O ok

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

Hence "rule violations".

Journeyman Geek

not exactly

Wolgwang

They can use new account after 26th?

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@Wolgwang yup.

Will just have to be really careful.

Next mistake and it's at least a month suspension.

Wolgwang

Why was Devart not erased?

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

11:21 AM

@Wolgwang the new account? Because then it's suspended it blocks the person from creating new accounts. At least from same IP and/or using same credentials.

Wolgwang

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 Hmm in this question...

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

13

A: Can I create a Stack Exchange Account as My Company Name?

Barring any legal considerations and rights to use that name, you can use a company name as your user name/identity. See Usernames as advertising or spam. But keep in mind that our Terms of Service require that accounts be owned used by an individual (i.e. not a corporate entity), so folks can ...

If the user using the account will openly admit several different people login and using the account, it would likely be deleted as well.

Luuklag

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 probably the old one was also suspended and the suspension automagically transfered over to his new account. AFAIK that's how it is designed.

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@Luuklag hmm, yeah might also be the case.

Wolgwang

Who are SE overlords?

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

11:27 AM

@Wolgwang anyone who is downvoting/closing/deleting the one who says "overlords" posts.

Common word used by those who rant.

Wolgwang

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 Context:

> the SE overlords seem to think of chat and the main sites as completely different beasts. And they seem to want to pretend that chat does not exist.

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

huh, first usage of this in chat:

Aug 20 '10 at 12:15, by Lasse V. Karlsen

It is never a good idea to get on the wrong footing with our new overlords

This one refers to Jeff and Joel ^

But in a good way lol

@Wolgwang oh, this refers to SE management.

But since they don't really use neither the site nor that chat, it's not relevant.

CEO tried to be involved at first and post on MSE but naturally it faded into thin air over time.

caird coinheringaahing

11:43 AM

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 Is "tried" the right word? He posted 3 posts getting "feedback" on the CEO blog posts, and nothing else

> Last seen more than a month ago

Journeyman Geek

@Wolgwang I use it to refer to the 'company'

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 Well we do have a CM team now...

JNat

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 gone

@Luuklag gone

Journeyman Geek

as opposed to the rump of one

JNat

@Luuklag gone

Journeyman Geek

and tbf, I'd rather an 'absent' CEO who trusts folks on our side of things to do their job than one active mainly when he wants stuff

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

11:59 AM

@cairdcoinheringaahing I was courteous. ;)

I want to believe he really wanted to be involved, just too naive to realize it's impossible.

@JNat thanks!

@JourneymanGeek CM's don't make the decisions, they're not management. They're the middle layer.

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 they do not

caird coinheringaahing

I don't have anything against a "lurker" CEO - in fact, my preferred option would be a CEO who only posts if "necessary" rather than because they feel like they need to - but the "last seen more than a month ago"...

Journeyman Geek

BUT IMO - communication is a key part of, and I dare say an essential skill of an effective CM

And dealing with meta is a seperate and acquired skillset

caird coinheringaahing

Also, why does Teresa only have diamonds on MSE and SO?

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@cairdcoinheringaahing well, why would he visit MSE? It's like an old book. Might contain some interesting history, but not really much more. ;)

Journeyman Geek

12:04 PM

@cairdcoinheringaahing Well - Arguably, that's where she needs it

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

waffles!

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 and I'd assume if something needed to get that high up, it will eventually

caird coinheringaahing

Yeah, but why only on those two? Aren't all other staff diamonds "all or nothing"?

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@JourneymanGeek these days? Perhaps, yes. But it's all about who brings it up and how.

@cairdcoinheringaahing she's not a CM, she's not interacting directly with all sites.

Most active sites, meta-wise are MSO/MSE so there she better have diamond.

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 I'd say its the 'how'

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

12:07 PM

@JourneymanGeek the "who" should know the "how". ;)

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 the how isn't rocket science

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@JourneymanGeek totally. It's much harder and more complex.

:D

Bringing up a delicate issue to CEO in a way that the CEO will actually listen is really really, really hard.

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 You don't tho

You bring it up in such a way it trickles up

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

I can only hope SE got such person, but personally? I doubt it.

Journeyman Geek

and you figure you can't win em all, so you pick the stuff that really matters

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

12:09 PM

@JourneymanGeek only a trickle will just wet the CEO shoe, he won't really notice. ;)

Need someone to throw it on his face, but in a way that won't make him annoyed. Too much.

Journeyman Geek

Well I've always thought of communication almost as as a martial art

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

I mean important things that need lots of work, can't think of example right now.

Journeyman Geek

If you go too aggressive, chances are you're getting nowhere

Luuklag

Go eat doggy: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/371839/… @journ

Journeyman Geek

There's some situations which are unwinnable and you need to avoid those

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

12:11 PM

@JourneymanGeek that's where art comes to play, need to be aggressive in a passive way. If that makes any sense. lol

Oh hey I missed the traditional coffee to...

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 you use the other side's weight and movement with yours? :D

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@JourneymanGeek that's something worth quoting. ;)

@JourneymanGeek yeah this can work either.

@Rob still, like jeans, name means a lot. :)

@Rob might be sweating, no?

Pee would actually flow, create a pool beneath.

So, if there's no underwear, heavy sweating can be visible in this manner, IMO.

Rob

1:52 PM

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 You need to read further, that's been commented on there.

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@Rob yeah, but still weird, as actual self pee should have more.... pee.

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 The use of Meth doesn't make things much worse, and the average quantity can vary from 15-600ml - Sources: hkmj.org/abstracts/v25n6/438.htm pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2765766

SPArcheon

It will start on Dec, 18. I have proof. Here

@JourneymanGeek will especially like the proof I guess.

Nov 2 at 11:28, by Journeyman Geek

@SPArcheon Thanks. I hate this even more

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

2:47 PM

@Rob interesting, as 15ml should be easy to contain. But dunno maybe the Meth cause you to just lose control over the muscle responsible to hold it back...

@Luuklag LOL

Did you clean it up already?

@Spevacus too cold?

Spevacus

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 That or something more serious. I'm getting it towed to an auto repair shop and hopefully they'll find that the problem is something cheap.

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@Spevacus most common is battery, I guess.

Spevacus

It's not that old of a car. It's a 2006 Mazda 6, and it's got ~118k miles (189,902 km) so I hope it's not a super systemic problem.

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 Battery seems fine (electronics all light up beautifully and etc) it's just not firing and kicking the engine on.

Rob

It needs to pee.

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@Spevacus so might be the starter...

I'm driving a 2010 Toyota that already has 500k kilometers.

Once in two or three years, battery just dies.

Luuklag

2:55 PM

Im driving an '07 Citroen Berlingo which has about 150K km on it

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

heh

Wonder how come everyone here driving old cars? lol

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 or you don't care

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

For me it's just the car given by the company.

@Rob cars pee once a year, ideally.

Luuklag

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 Cause it's cheap

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@Luuklag cheap to buy, expensive to maintain. (repairs, taking more fuel, etc.)

Luuklag

2:57 PM

Got this one from my wifes grandma, from which everyone decided it was best to take the car from her

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 about 500,-/year

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@JourneymanGeek don't care you mean she didn't even try to hold it? Well, then I'd imagine there would be more.

Luuklag

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 that's apparently wath meth does to you

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@Luuklag 500 euro per year? Yeah about same over here.

@Luuklag hmm... I prefer to have control, if I let go I do it out of my own free will. :D

Whew, there it is: Massive serial reversal finally kicked in.

And that immediately drops me beneath the required rep threshold to nominate.

I imagine a withdrawal is fast-approaching.

Aye, there's the mod message.

Tinkeringbell

@Spevacus You're already not showing up

Shame, but there are two candidates left :)

Luuklag

@Spevacus only 26 rep unders, there is still one day left to nominate right?

Spevacus

Nah, the election ends in 13 minutes, and the current nominees will simply be appointed.

But that's fine, the point of the election was to get candidates and in the end, moderators for the site. The goal is to ensure site stability, not get me in there.

2

I'm just glad folks stepped forward.

Tinkeringbell

7:48 PM

Spoken like a mod ;)

Spevacus

Heh, fun part is, if my current edit suggestions were reviewed (and approved), I'd be 6 reputation away from being able to nominate.

Tinkeringbell

I don't envy the ones that'll get appointed. They have one of the hardest things ahead of them: Get the site in shape, so that if they'll ever want to step down, there'll be enough active users that want to run in a next election

@Spevacus Must sting a little :( but that's life.. And I get the impression you saw the reversal coming?

Spevacus

@Tinkeringbell I did. I was very surprised the 50 reputation inundation from 2 days ago wasn't immediately reversed either right then or 24 hours after. I was going to raise a moderator flag to ask for some CMs to look into it, which I feel would've shown more initiative, but I... Didn't. I also suspected the escalation request would've taken longer than the CM's doing their regular "Look into the candidates history" thing they usually do 'round election time.

15 minutes before election's start though... Bit rough.

Oh well!

Okay... Whoever's just given me two upvotes is... Making this just a bit more frustrating, but I suppose I should expect that given I'm openly discussing this here.

Tinkeringbell

You're handling this well, which says a lot :)

Kevin B

meh

Tinkeringbell

8:01 PM

@Spevacus And yeah, that's probably the opposite of helping.

@KevinB it does, to me.

Kevin B

wasn't a direct response to that, more, dead site survives a little longer

Tinkeringbell

Ah. There's only so many ways to interpret a 'random' meh :P

Spevacus

@Spevacus I take this back, it was one upvote, the rest of the reputation was JNat kindly going through the Review queues :)

Tinkeringbell

XD

JNat

@Spevacus would've done it sooner if I'd realized there was stuff piled up

Spevacus

8:11 PM

I probably should've pinged ya, admittedly. : )

Rob

3 edits, one more vote, or a dozen fewer upvotes - any of those would have worked. Our condolences for the late news.

Luuklag

Should have bountied you instead of Rob then xD

But missing out by 6 points is rough, I feel for you @Spev

Spevacus

It's alright. I, like Tink, don't envy them their job now. The responsibility of getting the site back on track is now reliant upon their efforts.

Luuklag

Well it's not only their job ;)

Spevacus

:)

Luuklag

8:17 PM

But it appears there is growth in the community, as there are 50 more people that are elligble to vote compared to last april's election

Or that is just because of all the drama

Rob

8:43 PM

@Luuklag No difference in the number of visitors to the election page, and other activity has dipped in the past several weeks:

Luuklag

@Rob yeah that isn't looking all to great

I wonder what it would take to boost that site.

Anyways enough work for the day

This week I'm trying to be in bed early all week.

Rob

Free M (see conversation above), and diapers.

Tinkeringbell

@Luuklag What's next, actually working 9-5? :P

Luuklag

9:05 PM

@Rob If that M is related to wet pants I'll pass on it. If it is large and yellow I might take it, although my scales say I probably shouldn't.

@Tinkeringbell I was doing some chores between 9 and 5 today, so this one was on me.
