ah congratulations/condolences :D

Elements In Space

Thanks.

Spevacus

@ElementsInSpace Congrats! Plucked from a pool of 6 total candidates no less. Use it well!

Elements In Space

I was the only candidate at the end of the first week of nominations, so they extended the nomination phase and put banner on every page, until a few more candidates threw their hats into the ring.

What's this... I don't get a +2 for edits on For Teams?

Journeyman Geek

Don't think so

Probably worth discussing the mod team on the TL tho

Elements In Space

Well, I guess I'll stop trying to clear out your "dosen't"s.

Journeyman Geek

lol

Elements In Space

I was 3 down, 5 to go.

Spevacus

@ElementsInSpace Everyone gets unilateral edit privileges on Teams, so no rep is conferred. Unless the mod team is different, which I personally doubt, but yeah.

Elements In Space

01:42

Yeah, it looks like it. And the privileges top out at 125 rep.

The stacks editor is horrible.

(the interface thing)

Why can't I turn that off.

Journeyman Geek

lol

Spevacus

Heh

Elements In Space

02:01

It's just like the "new editor (beta)" here on MSE, but it's missing the most important feature.

— that it can be turned off.

Journeyman Geek

02:11

I actually do run the new editor >_>

Spevacus

@ElementsInSpace Geeeeeeeeeeet used to it :)

Yeah I run the new editor as well. I don't run into nearly the same number of issues that others seem to.

@JourneymanGeek Would you mind posting a message in this chatroom (chatroom name omitted)? I'm trying to keep it unfrozen... Thanks in advance!

Journeyman Geek

@cocomac done

@Spevacus imo strangely the meta one is more developed/better

cocomac

@JourneymanGeek Thanks!

@ElementsInSpace Well done! In celebration, here's some classic Oz rock: Bow River, by Cold Chisel. I always thought Mossy was a better vocalist than Jimmy.

Here's a more recent performance from a bunch of Aussies (of an American song). Get It While You Can, by Lachy Doley & friends (including a couple of the Barnes kids).

meta.stackexchange.com/a/394549/135565 could we get some spam flags in this please? The link OP tried to post looks very sus

Elements In Space

@JourneymanGeek How can you be sure that's (going to be) spam?

Journeyman Geek

06:05

Hit edit and take a look

I didn't follow the link (yet)

Elements In Space

Something starting with https... script ... I don't know what that means, but I don't want to try it either. Flagged as spam.

@ElementsInSpace yeah it was attempt to load some widget.

Elements In Space

Sounds dangerous...

@ElementsInSpace well luckily it's not that easy to hack SE or launch such attack. ;)

I now realize the subtle issue that whoever developed the hat-wearing interface in old WB must have faced.

rotation + drag = mess

Andreas moved to Codidact

Rotating a drag show usually leads to a mess, yes.

Journeyman Geek

@AndreasmovedtoCodidact Well yes

SPArcheon

@JourneymanGeek Tu quoque.

Journeyman Geek

11:50

@SPArcheon rotating me can make a mess too

Tinkeringbell

@JourneymanGeek But if you weren't rotated regularly, you'd get bed sores :P

Journeyman Geek

Its all a matter of how fast you rotate

Tinkeringbell

Or whatever equivalent that doesn't happen on a bed (pressure sores?)

Journeyman Geek

12:10

I was thinking something a little faster :D

Tinkeringbell

12:24

Yeah, I was just typing slowly, those two messages should be directly underneath each other and not interspersed with yours :P

Andreas moved to Codidact

Without rotation, he will only get cooked on one side.

SPArcheon

Just wondering....

Q: How do we encourage edits to obsolete/out of date answers?

As the network ages and we have answers that are 7+ years old, we run into situations where changes in technology, etc. result in a once great answer becoming out-of-date, obsolete, or somewhat problematic. We don’t want to lose or delete these answers, due to legacy applications that still need...

has anything been discussed in this regards that was not haunted by the cursed SO strangler fig?

IE, it is obsolete because information changed VS "framework versions"

Example of what I mean: It makes sense to keep an answer that no longer works on the current version of JQuery.

It makes no sense to still claim the "Gomu Gomu" fruit is actually a paramecia.

Q: What class of Devil Fruit does the Gomu Gomu no Mi come under?

Considering the three types of Devil Fruits that have been explained are: Paramecia Type - where the user can get superhuman abilities and change their body parts into weapons, etc. Zoan type - where the user can turn into a particular animal and inherit its abilities Logia Type - where the user...

one-piece

So, what about accepted answers made invalid by new info?

@SPArcheon Edit them, preferably some kind of timeline-y fashion?

For that anime question, I don't know why it has that many answers instead of a single community wiki one that keeps track of everytime something changes.

SPArcheon

@Tinkeringbell ... Interpersonal Skill must be heaven is that is your expectation.

that kind of mess is exactly what I expect on most sites.

Tinkeringbell

Heh. I can only wish IPS was organized remotely. Activity is so low it's not much of a problem these days, but we had loads of duplicate answers in the beginning, just users jumping on HNQ posts and re-posting what was already there.

But the anime question answer would be awesome if it was anything like 'Pre season X episode Y, it was always presented as Z. In episode A, we learn it is actually a B. Even later in season/episode T, the writers revealed it was actually an U!'

That would've been an 'easy' edit, but you don't get rep for such edits, so users make their own answers and those pile up :/

Journeyman Geek

14:00

Or just embrace the chaos

SPArcheon

@Tinkeringbell Problem is that if I edit the existing accepted answer, I am basically turning it into something else. If I add one more...

Fortunately, the charging one has been solved now that we've all standardized on mini-USB. Or is it micro-USB? Shit.

Tinkeringbell

@JourneymanGeek My shirt might get dirty if I try that. Rather not, I have enough laundry to do as is.

This came up on MSO, but this FAQ is kinda confusing because it says "bounty question" when it really should be "question with an active bounty or one you awarded under your question" in the section that's saying you can't delete a bounty question. (That part was probably written before they patched up some exploits with deletion)
