Needs one moar delete vote
01:14
@Spevacus Doesn't it get deleted automatically if it's closed and has a negative score?
02:13
@forestdistrustsStackExchange After nine days, yeah. It's been common practice since before I joined and started flagging/closing/deleting them to delete them as soon as possible (well, not like spam is swiftly deleted, just... At peoples' convenience). Something about broken windows I think?
The nine days thing is the RemoveAbandonedClosed script

ah
I thought closed and downvoted questions didn't display to people who would be inconvenienced.
@forestdistrustsStackExchange Sufficiently downvoted questions are hidden from the front page, but I don't think they're otherwise actively hidden.

@forestdistrustsStackExchange Nope
and people getting lost is a particularly meta problem so we just close/delete
@ShadowWizardSaysNoMoreWar k
kk
@M.A.R. the warmth measures how good the friend is.
@Philippe oh, lol. Well, have another one to ignore. ;)
@forestdistrustsStackExchange perhaps, but that might be complicated to develop, and not sure it's worth all the effort. (Plus, let's be realistic, when was the last time you saw SE actually completing feature request? So we're talking in theory here, it's not like it will ever happen anyway.)
gone
@Spevacus just keeping the place clean, it's like cleaning toilets. You just want to have them clean always, not only once a week.
@JourneymanGeek yes, Roomba. forest said automatically, not instantly.
@tripleee flagged, and weird as all three mods of the site visited it today, so it means all of them simply ignore the mod flag queue. Sad.
(unless red flags don't go to the flag queue?! @Journeyman can you shed some light?)
08:50
@ShadowWizardSaysNoMoreWar they do
Heh. So three mods missed the spam, and the spam flags.
But its kinda best effort and tbh, we don't live on the flag queue 24/7
@tripleee poof
finally, thanks!
Three hours for spam is way too long.
Something in that site moderation is off, would have posted on its meta if I wasn't so lazy. lol
08:52
@ShadowWizardSaysNoMoreWar for all you know they had an open tab in their browser on their phone, that they cycled by switching to something else.
meh, all three? Doubt it. Looks more like they're not active mods.
09:36
@ShadowWizardSaysNoMoreWar timezone and personal activity...
@Luuklag I do have both my sites opened on the desktop... and be prepared to check at least 20+ posts with new activity after sleeping...

What about "f"?

@journ @davidp Spammer for you guys to nuke ˆ
catlike typing no longer detected
@Luuklag Mine is more real ;)
@JourneymanGeek hOI!!!
🐕‍🦺

@SPArcheon gave Temmie 1G
... did the font used for titles in question lists change? Something about them looks different and... skinny?
14:12
@Catija I don't see it, but I'm notoriously bad at noticing differences.
At least, when I don't have an original to compare with.
Yeah, I'm trying to figure out if it's just because I'm on my laptop monitor instead of my big one at the moment.
But my computer restarted so I don't know if maybe that's why.
@Catija ... I feel like there needs to be a changelog of these things at least internally :D
@Catija it's 17px, which if I remember correctly is still the same. But I don't remember the OS-dependent fonts
@JourneymanGeek It's called GitHub but unless you're a dev ... most people don't know how to read it :P
In the grand scheme of things, I'm more concerned about question titles on answers going AWOL.
14:17
@Tinkeringbell ehhh, I use git at work :D. And needing to look through commit reasons is... ok? But I mean a simple changeloggy thing
The font doesn't look wrong on SO (dark mode), just here on MSE... just seems... crowded
@Catija Well - that's certainly a bug
GH and I are not friends at all.
@Catija for all my sins, I'm the one person who's familiar with using git at work
GitHub is nice! I'm not friends with it either, because it's just an internet site but it works well :P
14:19
Ah
the trick is never to see the website :D
(yes yes, that's worse)
Oh, I like git best on bash too. But the site is nice for things like reviewing and merging and I love the 'blame' button :D
On the other hand
Cat dosen't need access to the entire SE codebase :D
@Catija the CSS font family still looks the same for me both on SO and MSE
--ff-sans: -apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI","Liberation Sans",sans-serif;
Hmmm. OK. Thanks :D
@JourneymanGeek I have it, though... I think... But I have no clue how to find anything in it.
@MetaAndrewT. look fancy, so maybe Cat simply doesn't have some fonts on her laptop.
14:24
@Catija Which is part of the problem lol.
@ShadowWizardSaysNoMoreWar It's Meta Andrew T.'s fault.
@ShadowWizardSaysNoMoreWar SE is now generally using fonts shipped with the OS
so unlikely
@JourneymanGeek BlinkMacSystemFont? Doesn't sound like ordinary Windows font.
@SmokeDetector hides in the corner
14:25
Blinking font.... shudders
@ShadowWizardSaysNoMoreWar blink is the chrome engine
@JourneymanGeek oh. And Mac is alias for Windows?
In Microsoft twisted mind I won't be surprised.
so basically it'll use whatever the heck the mac system font it, then fall back to segoe UI (on windows) then liberation sans
they think they own the world.
What happened to comments here ?
14:30
OK, back on my big monitor and everything looks fine, so I guess it's just the screen. :P
@Wolgwang They were deleted.
...why...? 🤔
First glance to me suggests that after the answer, they were all just 'no longer needed'.
@Catija probably have a better resolution there. Makes things easier on the eyes
@Wolgwang it's pointless to keep asking such questions. Rule #1: always assume comments are temporary, and can disappear any moment. Why? Because it's only a comment. It has no reason to exist forever.
That's why posting answers as comments is really bad.
One day comment is deleted, and the answer is gone forever.

V2Blast on March 16, 2022
From camping to tenure to memory, the sites turning ten this quarter cover a lot of ground.
15:14
@ShadowWizardSaysNoMoreWar blah blah blah
@Wolgwang upon closer inspection, it seems that they might have been mostly removed, with one left under the answer as warning to future trespassers.
@ShadowWizardSaysNoMoreWar it's a mod-eat-comment world out there.
Or is it flag-eat-comment?
Maybe flags are the seasoning
Proof: Mods rarely have comments without flags, unless the post is very appetizing
INTJ is overly honest? Well, I've been diagnosed with enough of those four-letter monstrosities to be honest, shy, the life of parties, intellectual, spiritual, a great leader, a great follower, a great architect, trustworthy, keen, blunt, polite, and some other extra stuff.
@Wolgwang I remember some of them were speculating about DDoS, then my comment about Cat's "not DDoS" and a few more following it. Looks "no longer needed" after the official answer came.
@M.A.R. maybe take the test again on other sites and see if you get INTJ again. Otherwise, might not be that honest :p
15:35
@MetaAndrewT. no thanks, I'd rather bang my head with a hammer to discover my psyche. The results will be just as useful.
@M.A.R. 58% warmth
@M.A.R. flags can't flag
Not enough rep
Some posts are like minesweeper, you don't need rep
Just look at the comment angrily enough and it removes itself
I dunno if that happens in minesweeper
I
I have a question
15:44
Does that guy have a shirt but no pants.
What am I looking at.
And the other one clearly has pants
@M.A.R. that is correct. But pretty sure he wear underpants below the fur. ;)
(otherwise it's just scratching as hell.)
OK so he's . . . cosplaying? a nudist?
@M.A.R. nudist is someone is who, well, nude. Nude is, well, with nothing at all so that your natural body is showing.
The furry costume is kind of clothes.
And the character he's cosplaying, was that character's line of thinking like "belly buttons? Ew. Everything below the belt is kosher though"
@M.A.R. no lol, it's probably some furry event. Didn't check. ;)
Furry is name for people who love animals with fur, and not always in the uncouth sense.
15:48
No really. I can't wrap my head around the logic of wearing just a black sweatshirt over your mascot thingy
The shirt isn't coming as cloth, as far as I can tell it's to indicate the person is official.
Whatever. I give up. Part of my TMNT personality is not going down rabbit holes.
Especially ones itchy below the belt
@M.A.R. might also be super comfortable, didn't give it a try. Yet. :D
Anyway, watched No Way Home. It was pretty fun.
migrates @M.A.R to Seekrit Book Club
Anyway, if you want to attend such events, here is a list. Enjoy! ;)

hi all, is there a system that auto detects a spam suggested edit and so shows "......." instead of the original while auto-changing the edit summary to "Edit summary: Somebody edited an inappropriate comment"?
possibly more context in the Aviation chat (permalink)
maybe the better question is: if the 1st reviewer marked it as spam, does it hide it like that for the second reviewer (me in this case)?
@ymb1 the only community run bot that I know is here: github.com/thomas-daniels/SO-EditMonitor but not sure if that still runs
maybe an internal one when the first reviewer chooses reject due to spam?
if yes, it will be worth reporting
@ymb1 what I think is that the anonymous user only removed whitespace, then was told they needed at least have a change of 6 chars so they added 6 (7 really) dots. That is red-flaggable. No spam, just defacing of content.
20:59
@rene aaah, I see now the green background being shorter, that explains the breaking of the URLs
the first reviewer and you saw exactly the same post/ review
what a weird edit summary though
that is certainly weird.
@ShadowWizardSaysNoMoreWar Why would it be complicated? Does SE use a separate backend for authentication?
(I admit to knowing very little about SE's architecture)
21:11
@forestdistrustsStackExchange no, all traffic goes into the HA-proxy, IIRC and that is also where the IP throttling takes place, the HA-proxy has no knowledge whether you are authenticated or not.
Oh
I imagine HA-Proxy has a way to efficiently check if a user is authenticated, but that might require more reworking of the system.
Which is probably not worth it for the rare user who is affected by this.
