it makes me sad that you send users to w3s :p
and yeah, my daily minimum rep source is also a rather useless answer (since the question is a duplicate) - stackoverflow.com/questions/10368217/php-get-file-extension/…
 
@ThiefMaster Maybe he didn't know better back then. I used to refer to it a lot, before I was enlightened.
 
1:01 AM
@ThiefMaster Oh I'm sorry one snuck through three years ago. ;P
 
1:54 AM
Dang... 12-second off-topic close on Meta only matching my previous record.

Q: How do I apply CSS3 transition to all properties except background-position?

DineI'd like to apply a CSS transition to all properties apart from background-position. I tried to do it this way: .csstransitions a { -webkit-transition: all 0.3s ease; -moz-transition: all 0.3s ease; -o-transition: all 0.3s ease; -ms-transitio...

on another DOWNVOTE ALL THE ANSWERS rampage
and of course I'm leaving comments, like a BOSS

Can a moderator check why I am question banned? I have had only positive interactions on MO for three months now, since I opened this question wit favourable rating: meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/183726/…. Am I possibly blocked incorrectly? Thanks anyone for checking this out.
 
@PieterGeerkens I only see 2 new answers on your account at +2 each since that question was asked. Moderators can only see a yes/no indicator of whether or not you're blocked, we can't tell how close (or possibly far) you are to being unblocked. With all the contributions you have, I can't imagine you're far off from that point though.
 
I was question-blocked in the spring, which then cleared. Since then I have had significantly more up-votes than down-votes. I guess my real question is: "Is it possible that I am being picked-up accidentally by an IP block?"
 
3:30 AM
You're right, I can't figure out what would have caused the block to re-instate. All your deleted questions were deleted well before the original block was cleared, so they couldn't have further affected the block.
 
3:41 AM
@animuson: Thank you. Is it possible to get SE to check it out tomorrow?
 
Maybe @Shog9 or @AnnaLear could help you out.
 
4:09 AM
@PieterGeerkens You're not question blocked as far as I can tell. What's the exact error message you get when you try to post a question?
(Also, you can always reach us via meta.stackoverflow.com/contact if you need help beyond what MSO can provide.)
 
It must have just cleared, as it seems fine now. The message I was getting an hour ago was the (one I know well) "We are no longer accepting questions from this account. Please see ... for more information." Thank you for checking things out.

Q: Are "Hail-Mary" questions on-topic for Stack Overflow?

Robert HarveyFor those of you who don't know, a Hail-Mary pass is a maneuver in American Football which is executed late in a losing game, in the desperate hope that a miracle will occur. On Stack Overflow, this often takes these forms (this is not a comprehensive list): I have this highly obscure/obsole...

 
@PieterGeerkens No problem.
 
Thanks Anna. I will note that link.
 
@AnnaLear Hrm, he was. I upvoted his question a while ago but I figured after a half hour maybe it didn't clear the block. Maybe I just needed to wait longer...

This question appears to be off-topic because it is about a miracle. — juergen d 1 min ago
Give that man a medal.
 
ARGH, I wish people would think before they go for the "Programming questions go on SO" reason.
I'm almost inclined to ask for that reason to be removed.
 
@Bart We need it to link to /questions/ask/dev/null
 
Pretty please
 
 
4 hours later…
2:01 PM
@Bart @Manishearth I agree there; especially when they are A) Bad programming questions or 2) Not programming questions at all...
 
2:18 PM
That question is junk.
And it definitely does not show any research effort.
 
@AndrewBarber Or perhaps we need something along the lines of "it's a programming question, but certainly don't ask it on SO in this state".
 
3:01 PM
@jadarnel27 If anyone deserves sympathy up votes for a bad question, it's certainly not someone with 1000+ reputation. Sheesh!
 
Haha, indeed @Andrew.
I was too hasty with that close vote, methinks.
I am quick to inappropriately use close votes to assault bad questions.
 
Nah... Now, I would have been too hasty with a close vote, perhaps... but I like to think that a couple close votes coming in to start can be sort of a 'shot across the bow' thing - especially one that a 1k'er should understand.
 
That makes sense, actually. At least it might make them take a second look at the quality of what they were asking.
 
3:16 PM
Hey - I hope thats right place to ask my question. I got a series of downvote from somone today: imgur.com/CuiIWz8 - what's the chance it will be automatically reverted and found by scripts ?
 
@GrzegorzKrukowski Very good. Greater than 99%.
 
@mootinator ok cool - thought so - thanks
 
@GrzegorzKrukowski Yup; what @mootinator said. And if by some crazy chance it's not reverted in a couple days (sometimes takes 48 hours), let us know by flagging one of your posts and explaining in the Other field. In the meantime, I'm going to go look and see if someone needs to be spanked...
 
;) looks like someone doesn't like me - one additional spank from me please - and thanks for clarifying
 
Yup. And the "reason" for not liking you is... beyond childish!
@GrzegorzKrukowski Ask, and ye shall receive. That one was a bit too extreme to even wait for the script to roll it back. ;)
 
3:28 PM
\o/
 
yeah first time I got something like that, but I'm quite new here. Hope not too many people behave like this votedown-maniac :)
Thanks for support !
 
Also, I think it'll take a sec for the reversal to show up on your reputation list, but it's been handled, and the offender spanked ;)
Nope, not too many do at all, and we tend not to tolerate it when we find it.
It's mostly @animuson's fault, though.
 
ok cool - hope I'm not a troll-magnet
 
What did I just step into? o.o
 
3:31 PM
(I only said that because he just walked into the room! hehe)
 
you did that ?!
 
@animuson Is it stuck to your shoe? Probably gum.
 
hehe...
Okay, @GrzegorzKrukowski You'll see an item "Serial Down Voting Reversed" on your reputation history now.
 
@animuson Some kind of weird brown gum the dog left on the lawn.
 
@TimStone Ohhhh last time I did that I walked around freaking out because I didn't have anything with me to get it off my shoe...
 
3:32 PM
yeah got it - cool ! thanks again, hope @animuson will not do it again... ;)
 
weird brown gum... that's not so 'gummy' anymore...
 
@GrzegorzKrukowski You know I will; I just can't handle myself.
Woooo I'm getting my free GTA: Liberty City Stories for Vita today. :D Exciting!
 
Ok - then be prepared for more spanks
Yeah - I was thinking about buying a console for that game - currently PC user :)
 
Don't they have it for PC?
 
I can't get into shooter-type games on a console at all, for some reason.
 
3:38 PM
Oh, Amazon only lists Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories as PSP/PS2... I never realized they weren't released for other consoles... I just assumed.
That's weird.
 
No - there is some fake beta for PC
but right now officialy it has no PC support :(
strange for one of the most expensive game in history ;)
 
You could always play 4 and EfLC on PC... and 5 now that it's out today. :D
 
ee I anyways have too much games to play and not too much time to do that...
I need 1 year off to catch up on my last steam purchases... :P
ok hf in GTA V - I'm out
 
You're talking to the guy that owns 414 games and has played not even half of them.
 
3:55 PM
GTA4.. meh, never really liked it on PC. Realistic car physics in a game like this are extremely annoying. Especially when driving using the keyboard instead of a controller.
 
 
2 hours later…
5:39 PM
@animuson Last I heard, GTA V was not being released for PC. Which was pretty surprising to me.
I loved GTA IV on PC.
 
Oh that's weird. Why would they release 4 on PC but not 5? o.o
 
I don't know. I just. Don't. Know.
 
Looks like San Andreas is available on PC too...
 
WWWWWWHHHHHHHYYYYYY?!?!?!?!
rocks back and forth for a while
 
I probably won't get V until the price drops anyways. Portal is the only thing I'd really consider paying retail for.
 
6:02 PM
I heard GTA V was already announced for PC... they always wait a few month for it though
 
Usually Amazon would have it listed for pre-order if it's announced though. :/
Is it bad that I use Amazon for verification of a game's existence?
 
@animuson Or, you know, just release it.
 
Oh I thought Amazon stopped doing that "release-date delivery" thing because of that. They used to ship them early with instructions to the carrier not to deliver until the release date, but sometimes the carrier doesn't respect the request.
Now I only get my normal free 2-day shipping on pre-orders. :(
 
At least amazon.de ships pre-ordered music cds so they arrive on the release date - or often a day before
which is nice of course, since obviously everyone who preorders something will be extremely pissed (and rightfully so) if he gets it later than people buying it in a local retail shop
 
I usually only pre-order things from Amazon when they have some kind of promotion attached to it.
 
6:50 PM
The last I heard, there were rumors of "evidence of a PC version" that was found in leaked code from the Xbox version.
But no official announcement that I've seen @ThiefMaster.
 
[tag:rumor-rumor-rumor]
 
yeah, but i think rumors and the fact that every single gta was released for pc is pretty much an unofficial announcement
my guess would be PS4/XboxOne/PC versions mid-2014
 
True, it certainly seems likely that they will release it. I just don't like to get my hopes up.
As some hippy once said, "Expectations lead to suffering."
 
Ha, I didn't know these showed up in my history: i.stack.imgur.com/vuV2P.jpg
Also, @Shog9 - there's no spaces before the moderator's name in the user history. I'm pretty sure they were there before... Damn localization.
 
7:41 PM
I am incredibly frustrated by the number of emails I get with a subject line of "Question".
 
7:53 PM
For your birthday, I'd be happy to send you e-mail with a subject line of "Answer." (To set up this free service, I'll need to know your birthday. And full legal name. And Social Security Number.)
 
Sweet! Can I have your home phone number, in order to transmit those things to you securely?
I'm just going to start replying to those emails with "put on hold as unclear what you're asking." People won't get it, I imagine.
 
New Email! -- Subject: Answer -- Body: 42

Sort of a random question (and idk if this is the right place for it) -- does anybody know why this question appears to be tagged as both status-complete and status-declined? I would have thought the two states were mutually exclusive.
 
@Michael0x2a Read Shog's answer. Basically, there's no [status-kinda] tag...
 
Ah, thanks! I must have missed that.
