@V2Blast I do! Whenever you're on a call with me you'll see one sitting on the shelf behind me 😀 They're from the 2012 meetup. Check out my unicorn history post on our Teams instance, it makes an appearance there.
@DavidPostill second one isn't spam, it's long time member linking to GitHub, they don't gain anything out of it. That's not even blog post, where they might want to get traffic. That's just ordinary answer.
@JourneymanGeek still spammy on the network profile though. Also, isn't the ability for a mod on single site to clear profile on all sites somewhat... overpower?
@ShadowTheKidWizard That's the case with almost any mod tool. Scarier is the PII access that mods have. If a mod goes rogue, that's a huge problem, but it's extremely unlikely to happen. The checks and balances in place tend to make sure those who wind up with diamonds can be trusted with them (usually).
@JourneymanGeek meh, I don't consider this any security breech. Gravatar is proven beyond any doubt to offer 0 security and privacy, those who choose to use it should be aware that by doing so, they essentially share their email with the whole world.
It's like you forgot you have a mailbox and you check it out and find enough paper to cover the entire neighborhood in creamy yellow wallpaper, with three generations of flies waging war against their arachnid oppressors, and you think if you do a marginally better job of upkeeping it, like cleaning it every red moon or so, it might look significantly better
So you do end up on meta.ELL as it has always been your destiny, except it's like a broken karaoke machine filled with previous recordings of people who had similar ideas about the upkeep of your mailbox and how best to handle the thriving ecosystem in it
