@JourneymanGeek Save the guy a click and link to the accounts tab: stackexchange.com/users/26094448/sonia-aggarwal?tab=accounts

Journeyman Geek

Yeah I guess!

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@JourneymanGeek food!

Tinkeringbell

bad food.

Gives you stomach aches.

JNat

@JourneymanGeek gone

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@Luuklag sounds familiar...

Sep 13, 2021 at 8:51, by Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@Luuklag poor JNat will have to do extra click to reach accounts page of the spammer! :D

:P

@Tinkeringbell not for our dear JNat! He love it. I hope? ;)

Journeyman Geek

09:10

@Luuklag I blame generally doing 4 things at once ._.

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@JourneymanGeek upgrade your CPU

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowTheKidWizard lol

Tinkeringbell

@JourneymanGeek Oh yeah, males shouldn't multitask. That's dangerous ;)

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@Tinkeringbell usually leads to bugs, true.

Journeyman Geek

@Tinkeringbell least I'm not driving!

Shadow The Kid Wizard

09:11

@JNat R.I.P backlog

Tinkeringbell

@JourneymanGeek Uh, yeah. If you were doing that, I'd come over and poke with sharp sticks or maybe even bring a giant S or something.

Journeyman Geek

(I'm following/reading one conversation, having... 2 others? maybe 3)

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@Tinkeringbell while he's driving?

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowTheKidWizard Nah.

JNat

@ShadowTheKidWizard "they," not "he," actually ;) but yeah, a good complement to my breakfast ;P

Tinkeringbell

09:12

Too much of a coward here to do that.

Journeyman Geek

@Tinkeringbell so it wouldn't be like drive-jousting...

Tinkeringbell

@JNat Okay, I'm curious. What kind of breakfast goes well with spammers?

Shadow The Kid Wizard

> News Flash
> Man was injured in car accident after getting hit by what looks like a giant S

Journeyman Geek

green eggs of course

Tinkeringbell

@JourneymanGeek I really hope that's not a thing. Though there are some that are crazy enough to still do jousting to this day.

JNat

09:13

@Tinkeringbell granola and yogurt. But the spammer comes in great after that, with the tea

Tinkeringbell

Yeah, you're definitely aiming for a stomach ache XD

Journeyman Geek

@JNat so healthy breakfast, and salty fatty, slightly smelly dessert?

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@JNat so, it's a sauce for you? ;)

Tinkeringbell

There's no dessert after breakfast! What are you, a hobbit? XD

JNat

@JourneymanGeek my spammers aren't smelly. I wouldn't say salty either... more like umami

Journeyman Geek

09:14

I got the feet, though I am a little too tall

I am quite round but that's less food and even less excercise to blame

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@Tinkeringbell I have!

JNat

@ShadowTheKidWizard more like a cookie. Like I said, goes well with tea

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@JNat hmm, that bring interesting things to imagination. :D

Journeyman Geek

spam cookies 0_0

Tinkeringbell

@JourneymanGeek I'm short enough, definitely round enough, but don't have the feet :P

Journeyman Geek

09:15

"just because you could, dosen't mean you should"

lol

@Tinkeringbell and you don't have 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches...

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@Tinkeringbell so let's do Tink-Journey combo!

Tinkeringbell

@JourneymanGeek No. This vacation it was mostly one breakfast and then dinner.

Shadow The Kid Wizard

Tinkering Geek

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowTheKidWizard I'm pretty sure my astrology chart won't work for his mom.

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowTheKidWizard ....WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT SIR?

lol

Shadow The Kid Wizard

09:17

@JourneymanGeek goal is to become hobbit

Your feet and her body, according to what you both said. :P

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowTheKidWizard some of them did get tall tho

not sure if that passed on tho

Tinkeringbell

Time to go to SFF :P

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@Tinkeringbell also think his parents want him to find a local woman... ;)

@JourneymanGeek really? Who?

@Tinkeringbell lol

Luuklag

@JourneymanGeek green eggs and ham! Love that!

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowTheKidWizard uhhh I think pippin and merry

they drank the ent draught

lotr.fandom.com/wiki/Ent-draughts

Shadow The Kid Wizard

09:21

Yeah just found too

> Merry and Pippin: These two grew unnaturally tall thanks to the ent drought they got from Treebeard. Assuming that they were nearly the same height, they're somewhere between 4'5" and 4'11" (135-150cm) - Tolkien says that Merry and Pippin were taller than Bullroarer Took, who was 4'5"

Tinkeringbell

Oh. Then I'm still too tall to be a hobbit.

Shadow The Kid Wizard

:D

My 12 y/o daughter fits, in height.

But she's far from being round. :D

Journeyman Geek

I don't think all hobbits were round lol

only rather plump

bit hairy feet!

tripleee

flag-pls spam returning spammer graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/a/158260

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@JourneymanGeek yeah she's not plump either. More like skinny... :/

@JNat fresh cross site spammer, enjoy! ;)

hmm though this answer looks legit. Weird.

So maybe account got hacked/sold.

JNat

09:27

was about to ask what triggered that one

because of the SU answer too

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@JNat this and @tripleee can give more. (said "returning spammer" i.e. already spammed before.)

JNat

@ShadowTheKidWizard deleted that answer and cleared sessions

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@JNat fair. Thanks!

tripleee

it often means "this same domain" but in fact there was another spam three years ago with the same user name too

JNat

lessee if that solves it

tripleee

09:29

not entirely impossible that they wanted to seed their account with a couple of legitimate answers before they started spamming

JNat

mmm, yeah, they actually appear to have spammy deleted answers on SO too

tripleee

though these days they tend to use plagiarized content with obvious formatting problems

JNat

I'll also feed their IPs to the spamram, just in case, then

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@tripleee after 5 years? That would be super patient spammer. ;)

tripleee

you'd be surprised; I have been repeatedly in the relatively recent past

Shadow The Kid Wizard

09:30

@JNat awesome!

@tripleee I see. Interesting...

Now off to buy some food. No cookies. :D

Luuklag

Or their accounts were just compromised, because their password was in one of the many databases of hacked passwords.

Journeyman Geek

@JNat or answer was copied

that account looks sus

Journeyman Geek

What's a D&D game? Sorry I couldn't understand (or find anything online either) :P @Mithical — DialFrost 54 secs ago

@DialFrost

Dungeons & Dragons

Dungeons & Dragons (commonly abbreviated as D&D or DnD) is a fantasy tabletop role-playing game (RPG) originally designed by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson. It was first published in 1974 by Tactical Studies Rules, Inc. (TSR). It has been published by Wizards of the Coast (now a subsidiary of Hasbro) since 1997. The game was derived from miniature wargames, with a variation of the 1971 game Chainmail serving as the initial rule system. D&D's publication is commonly recognized as the beginning of modern role-playing games and the role-playing game industry, and also deeply influenced videogames...

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@JourneymanGeek umm there are still Smokey reports from yesterday e.g.

Script isn't really great lol

Luckily there are many human messages so it doesn't really matter. :D

@Mithical first published when I was -4 ;)

Hey a bugfix by g3rv4

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowTheKidWizard it handles what's on my screen lol

DialFrost

13:38

Hi guys, should I report bugs if it's related to a site using a different lang and I used google translate to translate the page?

Luuklag

As long as it is a SE site

and a real bug

DialFrost

Not sure if it should be reported (since it concerns translation)

using chromes translation thing (activated when it detects a site in a diff lang)

Luuklag

@DialFrost thats known to be buggy

and thats a third party tool then

Is it vote counts converted into words?

DialFrost

but seriously, going to SO (portuguese), looks like hell

I could show you a screenshot, but Im not sure how :(

Luuklag

upload one on a new question, and then copy the link

DialFrost

13:41

oh I didn't think of that :P

Luuklag

yeah thats google translate messing it up for you

DialFrost

literally a quarter of the translations are off, and in general looks terrible (even the 2 is translated to "two")!

@Luuklag :(

So I don't report? Since it's google translate? I'm not sure what to do with these types of extensions :/

Shadow The Kid Wizard

13:56

@Luuklag well think he created that site, or at least responsible for its well-being.

@JourneymanGeek ohh, yeah, client side only. So if there are old reports, that's it? They won't be moved?

@DialFrost you should post bug report on Google meta, or whatever they use to have people report bugs in their products. (Very high chance they have none, they're way too big to care for bugs reported by ordinary people.)

DialFrost

Google meta???

Shadow The Kid Wizard

> whatever they use to have people report bugs in their products

DialFrost

@ShadowTheKidWizard I mean translations are never perfect, but it also messes up the site's format

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@DialFrost still nothing that SE is responsible for, or can do.

@DialFrost nothing, or look for better translator.

DialFrost

hmm ok thanks!

Shadow The Kid Wizard

14:05

mp, yw

DialFrost

mp or np :P

Shadow The Kid Wizard

mw or nw :D

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@DialFrost duh? ;)

Journeyman Geek

@g3rv4 uhhh

Shadow The Kid Wizard

I mean, most reports are true, meaning the author is a spamer

Journeyman Geek

Only the 4 mods and staff can :D

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@g3rv4 hey! After all the time I've spent finding The Chat you meant, you come here?! :P

And yeah, my comment was no longer needed after I edited the link in the answer. ;)

OK, but you do deserve double coffee...

affogato and mocha, nice mix.

@JourneymanGeek I can also, kind of. Watch me ping Bart who technically isn't pingable...

@Bart pong ping? Hello! :-)

I forgot to buy mango juice.... :(

Kids would be furious at me tomorrow... :( :(

The ordinary brand wasn't there, so I planned to look in different shelf for a different brand of juice, and forgot about it. :( :( :(

Apply juice sounds yummy, but...

Journeyman Geek

apply juice to... what?

Shadow The Kid Wizard

15:36

@JourneymanGeek mouth

(new Juice("mango")).apply(BodyParts.Mouth);

(no worry there's validation, would throw error if trying to apply to illegal body part.)

:D

g3rv4

@ShadowTheKidWizard lol

Shadow The Kid Wizard

So we can ping you only traducir-related things? @g3r

If, suppose, one wants to check up on you? ;)

g3rv4

ah, you can ping me for anything :P

I miss bonfire pings

Bart

@ShadowTheKidWizard I will report you to HR

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@Smitop

It looks like there are multiple Music.SE accounts with your name: Orhan Torun and orhan torun. Maybe you accidentally created a new account and forgot about your previous questions? Or perhaps someone else shares both your name and interest in music? — Smitop 9 mins ago

I don't think there was any accident

People go and create new account when they get question banned, that's very common. :/

Bart

15:43

Yeah, I do it all the time

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@g3rv4 yay!

@Bart you have a pass
