@ShadowTheSpringWizard As long as you "ping" JNat in the message (even if they're not actively in the room), they'll get through the backlog soon enough. :)
Folks, we used to have a Startups.SE stack. Looks like it's not around any more. Do we still have a good place for startup-related questions somewhere on SE ?
@JourneymanGeek Is there a stack where I can post questions about startups (funding terms, success rate, etc)? More general business stack which covers sartups among other kinds of business?
@Luuklag So one day a week isn't that bad, but still sounds silly. Well hope you'll get back to somewhere you can reach office in 15 minutes like in the past. ;)
@Luuklag ohhh, so that's great! Awesome that you could keep your job when moving then.
Thought it's your job that throw you around like a ball.
@Mithical I've seen similar. It's usually someone ordering through a webform, filling in the field about what should be engraved into something with 'no engraving please/thanks' and then that text being engraved ... Instead of just leaving the field blank, these people add some fluffy niceness that doesn't belong there ;)
@Glorfindel Huh, must be a false memory then. Also, do remember that automatic suspensions imposed when an account is destroyed for spam or abuse or deleted as "no longer welcome" don't carry a moderator message with them.
Thanks for the request!
Starting with the next build, users destroyed for posting spam and users deleted as "no longer welcome to participate" will be automatically suspended from 365 days.
Well, one thing I don't like is that when a user deletes and recreates a manually-suspended profile, they cease to have access to the prior moderator message regarding their suspension, so if one goes into their inbox they won't find it there.
Would you agree with a feature request for those prior mod messages to continue to be visible to recreated profiles (or be auto-resent on recreation)?
Now that I think about it, one cause where a user suddenly gets suspended for a long time and doesn't have access to a moderator message is if another account with a suspension is merged into that account. When accounts are merged, suspension periods are added up, and as it was the other account (merge source) that was suspended and got sent the mod message, the merge target won't have access to it since the merge source is effectively deleted.
There have been instances in the past of users engaging in good-hand-bad-hand sockpuppetry and getting caught after the bad-hand accounts had already been sanctioned on their own.
