I didn't expect that to be one of the games no one else had questions on.

Stack Exchange needs one of those surveys like the "What career would be right for you?" except it's "What other Stack Exchange sites would be right for you?"

Hi, currently absent people. :) I am wondering whether or not I should ask a question on Meta. I found that user Mara is only promoting ZooZ in the answers given. Although full disclosure is given as well. And what's more, the CEO and CTO have done the same, though less severely.

I flagged an answer by Mara for it, which was considered helpful, but no action was undertaken. And given the FAQ on promotion, I'm not entirely sure if there's anything wrong with what they're doing. I do however remember flagging quite a few questions some time ago by other ZooZ employees who did not give disclosure.

I would say, if you want to promote your product this much, buy some advertisement. But I'm wondering if I should address this on MSO, or should just let it slide?

There's a hidden page on SE sites of 'hall of fame' questions - those that have made the biggest 'impact'. I can't remember what the link is, can anyone refresh my memory?

Lix

11:23 AM

@bart - A quick glance and those users and their posts really shows that they are trying very hard to plug their product/service. I don't have much knowledge on the topic so I can not comment on the validity of the posts themselves - but it looks like every post is dealing with their company and trying to promote it. If they hide their promotion within constructive and helpful posts and fully disclose their affiliation I do not think that they are harming anyone.

@fre - you talking about this?

stackoverflow.com/questions/greatest-hits

similarly that should work for any SE site -

meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/greatest-hits

@fre - this might also interest you (if you havent seen it already)

Q: List of unlinked pages on Stack Exchange sites

Here is a list of special, unlinked pages (they may be linked in questions and answers) on Stack Exchange sites. Most pages listed here are work in progress. Currently, this list is incomplete. /reputation - show your reputation and where it came from /review - list of posts that may or may not...

fredley

@Lix Yes, thanks!

@Lix I had found that, eventually!

Bart

@Lix That's why I hesitate to bring it up. Something about it irked me. They are almost fully in line with the FAQ though. So perhaps I should just leave it at that.

Lix

11:43 AM

@bar - 100% agree with you - they seem to be dancing on the edge... You already raised a flag as you said - IMO thats all that can be done ATM...

@fre - no worries :)

Bart

@Lix Fair enough. And I just noticed that casperone also deleted and later undeleted one of Mara's answers, so they are aware of the issue. I'll let it be for now. Thanks.

i am not able to coment on stack overflow and moderator deletes my answer because it has be said in coment, now what to do.

is there anybody online to answer

Bart

@Jasonvorhees It seems you don't have enough reputation yet to comment, am I right?

Jason_vorhees

@Bart yes you are rite

but its tough to get reputation fast here so why not we allowed to ask things through answers

Bart

That's not how this site works. Getting a reputation of 50 is not all that hard. If you add it as an answer, it will most likely be deleted. If you're lucky it might be converted into a comment, but that might not always happen.

Jason_vorhees

but in my case moderator delete my answer and now i am not able to answer any question anymore

how can i undo this

Bart

Do you get a message saying so? If so, that message most likely contains a link?

Jason_vorhees

12:04 PM

yes but that link is not helpfull

Bart

What is the link you get. Can you paste it here, so we're looking at the same thing?

Jason_vorhees

Sorry, we are no longer accepting answers from this account. See goo.gl/C1Kwu to learn more.

i mean how can i make myself answer again

Bart

I see you've given 11 answers so far? I think the best thing you can do is improve these answers. Make them as good as you possibly can. Even the language of them. (Spelling errors and such). If you get a couple of upvotes, that might help to the ban being lifted. I'm a not a moderator nor developer though. So I can't say with 100% certainty.

Jason_vorhees

Q: May I ask why my answer was deleted?

commented: @cdeszaq, Well well, How you are going to edit existing one if you don't own one, and the second thing is if you have rights to edit still the question could be way to older and it won't show it on recent feed. The thing about us is we never care to check more then first two page while looking for potential question to answer and sometimes as an OP you need answer straight away rather just wait for the old question to be found by someone. Instead stackoverflow should add feature in which if user found old question which hasn't been asked correctly then we should be able to flag it as NONSENSE!

Manishearth

What's the difference between chat rep and network rep? Chat shows that I have 8k, but my flair shows only 6k

Lix

Right - now which one of you doesn't have a dropbox account yet? For every person I invite I get an extra 500MB :P Who wants an invite??

Manishearth

1:17 PM

already have one muhahahaha

Lix

@man - chat rep is your total rep... just like the global flair

Manishearth

want a bitcasa invite?

chat.stackexchange.com/users/31768/manishearth

@jad - dropbox? ^_^

Manishearth

shows I have 8k

jadarnel27

Although I do not use them, I imagine chat on SO shows SO rep, and chat on SE2.0 sites uses...I don't know. Per site rep or global rep?

Manishearth

Well, my global rep acc to flair is 6k

so where did that extra 2k come from 0_O

I could understand if my chat rep was less than the flair rep

jadarnel27

@Lix Sorry, I don't understand the question =/

Lix

you have a dropbox account? Forevery one I invite I get an extra 500MB storage :) interested?

Manishearth

1:20 PM

@Lix Its only upto 8 invites

Really, try bitcasa. Unlimited storage

(free for a year)

Lix

You can earn up to 16 GB. FOR EVA! ;)

cdeszaq

@Manishearth The difference is that your flair only counts your SE accounts with 200+ rep, while your SE rep is all rep (including sub-200 accounts)

Manishearth

@cdeszaq Aah, got it...thanks

jadarnel27

@Lix Haha, oh sorry. I follow you now. No thanks man.

cdeszaq

@jadarnel27 Funny you mention that, because I haven't seen it kick in ever, anywhere, on any question. In fact, I don't see any push-updates.

jadarnel27

@cdeszaq The only thing I can think of would be to query for comments with the exact auto-generated link text. Even then, you can't really know if anyone used it.

@cdeszaq Are you stuck using a crappy browser? I had that problem at first.

cdeszaq

@jadarnel27 Right, that's about as far as I got with what I could possibly look for.

Manishearth

1:40 PM

@amanaP I'm not sure of how useful the feature would be on SO itself (I avoid SO like the plague), but other sites (Physics,Math,etc) would love it

amanaP lanaC A nalP A naM A

@Manishearth why do u avoid SO?

cdeszaq

@jadarnel27 Nah, i'm on the Chrome Dev browser (v. 19 I think?). My guess is it has to do with the odd network I'm stuck in. There's at least 1 filtering proxy and likely other things in the way.

jadarnel27

@cdeszaq Do you check this out: caniuse.com/#search=websockets ?

Manishearth

@jadarnel27 So fast that it notifies you of a new comment before the comment is completely posted: meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/127513/…

cdeszaq

@jadarnel27 Yes, my browser is fine, and I think i've gotten updates from other sites

1:42 PM

@Manishearth That's great, I had not seen it. +1 =)

Manishearth

I'm an amateur programmer. I program for fun and/or to make stuff useful to me. On SO, you get 10 answers to a question at a time, and they are usually better than mine.

tl;dr: too fast,everyone knows more than me

cdeszaq

I don't feel too left out, though. Hitting Ctrl+r is such a natural response (almost like a tic) that I don't really care too much

amanaP lanaC A nalP A naM A

@Manishearth naaah, eventually you catch up :-)

cdeszaq

@Manishearth The trick is to answer stuff in niche areas.

Lix

bye guys - I'm off - see you later!

cdeszaq

1:44 PM

And even "just OK" answers still get some votes

@Lix Ciao

Manishearth

@cdeszaq I don't have niche areas--amateur, right?

@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA Yeah, I guess so. In the meantime, Physics.SE and MSO are nice places to be :D

cdeszaq

@Manishearth Amateur doesn't mean anything. If anything, it means that you are more likely to do things that most people don't. Most professional programmers are stuck using the same tech, and rarely venture outside that (the best do, but that's a diff. story)

Manishearth

@cdeszaq Yep, but I don't know best practices, etc. My knowledge has holes in it as well. My two good languages (JS, PHP) are trumped by the fact that I'm not too good at jQuery and PHP is just too big... I guess I need more practice (had to sort of cut down on programming due to exams)

@cdeszaq On SO if you post a valid answer, it gets downvoted anyways if there's a better way to do it. And I usually post the way I think of first..

cdeszaq

@Manishearth Well, you can always ask questions instead of just relying on answers. Slower rep gain, but you learn more, and speed doesn't matter

Manishearth

@cdeszaq Good point. I'll try that. Once certain things are cleared up, I anyway have a plan to select certain SE sites, set a goal for them, and get there

cdeszaq

1:50 PM

@Manishearth Good idea. I used the badges and the rep/privilege ladder :)

A: Small Grammar Bug in Stackoverflow User Questions Tab

Right now we have the habit of bludgeoning any pluralizsation complainer with a giant S. This is great, but kind of messy. So I have a counter proposal: Let anybody that wants to report a pluralization bug, bake a giant sized S shaped cake and get it to the SE team (fresh and complete).

Hahahaha

Manishearth

@cdeszaq Yeah, I'll do something similar. I'll identify sites that I could answer stuff at (SO,SU,scifi,literature,English,Math,UX,gamedev), and set a rep goal based on how good I feel I will be at answering stuff there.

jadarnel27

@Manishearth One think you could try is waiting for answers to fall off the front page, and answer those. You get less upvotes (typically), but can get a lot of rep from accepts. I will look at the "no answers" tab for a tag I know a little about. For you, that might be javascript: stackoverflow.com/unanswered/tagged/…

Then go down to the one's with 1 or 2 votes, and troll through them looking for stuff you can answer =)

Just a thought.

Manishearth

@jdarnel nice idea, ill try that later.. I do that on Physics at times, sorting unanswered questions by votes, finding the zero-vote bunch (these are neglected), and answer these when bored.

jadarnel27

@Manishearth ah, that's a good idea as well!

I'm sure you're tired of people bugging you about how you should use Stack Overflow now, so I shall stop =P

Manishearth

1:59 PM

@cdes actually, I just realised that I already knew that questions get you rep.

My fourth best site is TeX.SE. Now, my TeX is rudimentary and limited to math formatting. I ask two, extremely simple/naïve questions there, and get to 260 rep. That left me O_0 ;P

cdeszaq

@Manishearth It seems that the simple questions that every beginner asks get the most rep. The flip-side is that many of these have already been asked.

Manishearth

@jad not really, though I have to leave soon. I do want to start at SO, I just never knew how.

@cde makes sense...

On physics our only 100+ upvote question is on cooling a cup of coffee. Of course, the fact that it has an awesome answer helps.

@Manishearth The community on TeX.SE is pretty helpful and open to newcomers, hence the typical boost to low-rep users.

Thomas Shields

How exactly do you get the dev/mods attention on a feature-request when a bounty and plenty of exposure time fails? The attached tool says "It's Aiden Bell's fault." Should I blame him? :)

cdeszaq

@ThomasShields Keep putting bounties on it and eventually it will get picked up.

Popular Demand

In cases like that, I generally assume that the devs are aware of the request and are intentionally ignoring it.

cdeszaq

Unfortunately, however, it simply may not be enough of an issue for the Devs to worry about.

Popular Demand

Also, Aiden is still on the wheel? I feel old.

Thomas Shields

5:06 PM

@cdeszaq hm. okay.

but why haven't they status-declined?

jadarnel27

I don't even know who Aiden Bell is.

cdeszaq

@ThomasShields Probably because they haven't made a decision on it one way or the other

jadarnel27

And I recognize all the other names on that wheel I believe.

Thomas Shields

@cdeszaq hm okay. Well, I hope they hurry up. I don't really care about my meta-rep that much but I don't want that (granted, quite small) bounty to go to waste

Meta Stack Overflow/(any room): red tags Send a message consisting solely of [status-SOME_PLAINTEXT_STRING] and it will appear in chat like a moderator tag. Doing this as a reply to another message is okay, but other text or formatting will not work. Gaming/The Bridge: minigame Send the mess...

It has to be on it's own line, but [status-whatever-you-want] works

status-whatever-you-want

status-dead

@GabrielLlamas Why? It's your own question.

Gabriel Llamas

because I want to bet the record

Popular Demand

If you want downvotes on a serious post, you'll have to earn them.

cdeszaq

You'll never make it. No one cares enough about your "discussion" / rant to bother with it. In general, people only care about things that seem serious

Lix

fudge.... :P

Pops's Perturbing Pedantic Problem of the Day: clicking "Reject" and seeing "This edit was already approved."

Lix

how convenient that I can ask you here and not make noise in comments... @pop - what on earth are you on about? :P

Popular Demand

You either get it or you don't.

@Lix They're all synonyms for "face book"

Lix

I think your auto suggest needs to be tweaked to support laymans... :P

I should flag the both of your for being too chatty ;)

cdeszaq

@Lix I'm not entirely sure that is a valid flag reason on Meta...

Popular Demand

I'm not sure that's a valid flag reason for a chatroom.

Q: Remove Punctuation When Checking for Duplicate Titled Questions

commented: Now we're making progress, @IuliusCæsar... but perhaps we should burn the entire data center from orbit on submit. Just to be sure.

I am concerned about @PopularDemand's mental health.

That escalated from deleting information off of a magnetic disk to arson pretty quickly =)

cdeszaq

@jadarnel27 Not just any arson... Space arson

Popular Demand

Oh, like you wouldn't fire off a plasma lance if you had the opportunity.

jadarnel27

@cdeszaq Yes! Space arson indeed!

@PopularDemand bucketList.add(that)

jadarnel27

@PopularDemand Well, when you put it that way...

Popular Demand

You fellas converted pretty quick, there. I guess if software engineering doesn't work out for me, I can always strike it rich as a cult leader.

Moshe

Wait, what does this cult do?

Are we a space cult, @pop?

DUM DUM DUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Moshe

@ama I need your expertise. Offline.

Well, HTML-wise anyway

Does anyone in here play the piano?

Popular Demand

Years ago, why?

jadarnel27

I just posted this answer on the music site, and I was just wondering if anyone with more technical piano knowledge could confirm my thought.

Popular Demand

Sorry, insufficient expertise.

jadarnel27

I play the piano all the time, but I didn't take lessons; so most of my knowledge is based on sound and experience (rather than classical training).

@PopularDemand Thanks for looking =)

"Sorry, insufficient expertise" would make a great answer rejection message.
