this user edits their answers into ..........., I've rolled them all back here, here, here, here, and here. Can someone stop him from editing?

Jason C

@DaveChen Raise a custom flag on the answer and describe the issue in the comments. Include a link to the user's profile page in the custom flag, as well as links to some of the other answers if they fit.

@DaveChen Also consider politely suggesting, in a comment, that the user delete their answer instead of editing it away. It seems like they want to get rid of their answers and that's their choice, they just aren't doing it quite right.

Dave Chen

Sorry, I do not believe that deleting useful answers is their choice. I believe they have the right to have the answers disassociated from their account on request, but for high value answers, they can not just delete them all. There's even a 5 limit delete/day.

Jason C

@DaveChen Watch out for rollback wars though. In any case, another option you have is to flag as not-an-answer / low-quality instead of editing or custom flagging.

Dave Chen

Thank you. I have taken your suggestion and raised a custom flag. I don't usually rollback more than once...this isn't like wikipedia :)

I think I know why he is a little frustrated, he just lost 4000 reputation. I'd be a little mad too.

HamZa

thanks , I already found the solution without your help — Arif 1 min ago

You rang?

Jason C

@DaveChen Lol he must have been part of @animuson's anti-voting-ring rage last week.

Doorknob

@DaveChen Lol this is hilarious :D

Dave Chen

@Doorknob I'm hesitant to rollback a second time && I've already flagged

Jason C

@Doorknob Rage quit! Although weirdly methodical.

I'm rolling back.

Doorknob

No meta post from the puppetmaster yet, surprisingly

Dave Chen

@Undo thank you, just be careful -> he might come and downvote you later ! D:

not too worried :P

Holy crap. This is way bigger than those five posts.

Dave Chen

I know, I'd really just like a mod to sort this out

Undo

12:33 AM

We must track one down, then...

Jason C

@user1745356 please de-accept my answer. I would like to delete it. — user2845946 2 hours ago

@Doorknob ^ And he couldn't even be bothered to put that comment on the question itself. It's on some random guy's answer, lol.

Doorknob

lol :D

Dave Chen

lol awkward, omg that answer is pretty nice

Undo

clever....

Dave Chen

very.

12:37 AM

Anyway, I think I got a mod's attention. I'm going hands-off on it for now.

Dave Chen

in that case, me too.

Doorknob

must... resist... temptation

finger hovering over rollback

Dave Chen

I think a third user is also getting involved

at this point in time, should we rollback still?

Jason C

@RobertHarvey Can you stop stackoverflow.com/users/2845946/user2845946 in his tracks somehow so the rollback wars stop? (Sorry; you're the last blue name I saw talk in here.) It's one thing to be deleting posts, but editing them to be completely incorrect is inappropriate, especially when they're accepted.

Doorknob

Hehe, I can tell I'm going to have quite a bit of fun with this

user102937

Is there anything there worth preserving?

Doorknob

I don't disassociate until all my contributions are removed. — user2845946 1 min ago

@RobertHarvey Yeah, he's self-vandalizing valid and useful answers

Jason C

@RobertHarvey Looking. Some of the answers looked decent; the majority were useful enough to at least be accepted. He has been explicitly requesting users to unaccept all of his answers and also editing content out / etc.

Braiam

12:47 AM

@RobertHarvey well, the one linked in comments was a bad Q

user102937

I think I'm confused. I was linked to

user102937

user2845946

659 15 35

user102937

But there's only 8 deleted answers on his account.

Doorknob

No, check the undeleted answers

Dave Chen

@RobertHarvey it's the revisions

Doorknob

12:48 AM

He's 1. Telling the OP to unaccept so he can delete and 2. Self-vandalizing them.

Jason C

Uh. The internet ate my last message.

user102937

@DaveChen Are they all fixed?

Jason C

@RobertHarvey Requesting all OPs to unaccept and making edits like this to accepted answers

Dave Chen

@RobertHarvey not this one, and every time we rollback, he continues to vandalize

user102937

Is that the only one?

Jason C

12:49 AM

No...

Doorknob

Supposedly it was useful to at least one person, seeing as the OP has accepted and upvoted it. Why do you want it to be removed so badly? It can also help future visitors. I have a feeling there's a bit of a longer backstory behind this.... — Doorknob 35 secs ago

I hope there's at least a reasonable response to that

@Shog9 Do you know how I can file a formal complaint against a user?

GnomeSlice

@BlueIce No, it's a mod actually.

I found the contact form, guess I'll use that.

Blue Ice

@GnomeSlice Welp, good luck! I won't pry. ;)

GnomeSlice

I was banned for 8 hours from stackexchange chat with no notice by a moderator who was not talking to or with me, in a room I was not particularly engaged in.

And then my other room was frozen.

Another moderator reversed it because it was unwarranted.

Blue Ice

Yuck. That stinks.

@GnomeSlice Oooh, I have a song for you to listen to!

GnomeSlice

3:53 AM

@BlueIce Hit me

It's almost midnight, so just one

Blue Ice

It's not the type of music that you usually post, but here:

I have the album and I think it's pretty good :)

GnomeSlice

@BlueIce This is pretty chill.

Wow, the user deleted my room too.

hichris123

@Gnome I can see your point about your room. However, that talk is clearly off topic for the main room. I'll contact the user in a sec.

GnomeSlice

@hichris123 Which talk?

Blue Ice

@GnomeSlice I think so too :)

GnomeSlice

4:00 AM

@BlueIce This is pretty cool, thanks.

I know somebody who would really like this too.

hichris123

@Gnome All the stuff in gamedev that wasn't about game development.

GnomeSlice

@hichris123 Yes, that's a reasonable request, make the gamedev room about gamedev. That's why I made the new room.

Blue Ice

@gnome Yeah, no problem! I like it when you share music you like here, so I thought I could share some too.

GnomeSlice

For off-topic chatter.

hichris123

Which makes sense.

Blue Ice

4:02 AM

Yeah, messing with that is a little out-of-bounds.

hichris123

I'll ask the mod that froze it to unfreeze it.

GnomeSlice

Yeah, well, he deleted it and banned me for it.

@hichris123 It's deleted.

Blue Ice

GnomeSlice

The person who reversed my suspension said to stay away.

hichris123

@Gnome Meh, isn't that really what the Bridge is for?

Random conversations?

GnomeSlice

@hichris123 The Bridge is on another SE site. Gaming, not Game Dev.

hichris123

4:13 AM

... and?

GnomeSlice

And there was a big discussion in the gamedev room about how people wanted to keep the gamedev room for gamedev discussions. So I made another room for talking about other stuff, and a bunch of people joined and seemed to think it was a good idea.

And I guess I got banned for that? For 8 hours?

Blue Ice

@GnomeSlice To stay away from the room that you created yourself?

GnomeSlice

@BlueIce No, from the guy who banned me. he/she said he is a dick

Blue Ice

@Gnome ouch. mod fight?

GnomeSlice

They didn't get involved, just reversed it for me.

> No problem. You didn't deserve that.

Blue Ice

4:16 AM

hum.

hichris123

Lemme guess: Arqade mod @Gnome?

(Unbanned)

GnomeSlice

Anyway, I guess I will let SE look at it, but since I'm the one complaining I wouldn't expect anything to be done.

@hichris123 It's not really relevant who it was. But they immediately agreed it was an unwarranted suspension.

I know mods outside of Arqade.

Blue Ice

@gnome Why wouldn't they do anything? It seems like you have a mod helping you out here.

GnomeSlice

@BlueIce Because "GnomeSlice"

Who knows though.

hichris123

@Gnome I still don't get why you guys can't have that room.

GnomeSlice

4:19 AM

@hichris123 Feel free to ask him.

I don't really want him to know my suspension was reversed.

hichris123

He said to ask on mSO. :P

GnomeSlice

Game Development

Game development and other polite discussion. Game development...

He's still there.

hichris123

... I'm in a different room.

Blue Ice

@hichris linky?

GnomeSlice

This is the room that was deleted: chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/13870/general-chatter

I made two more before it, but I messed them both up and tied them to the wrong site.

(My bad)

the first one was frozen because it was tied to the wrong site

@JasonC: why do you reply to duplicated and primarily opinion based questions? :O

"which one to install" is primarily opinion based.

that question could have been closed for three reasons: 1) opinion based 2) too broad 3) duplicate

it is not a good idea to feed them with answers.

@LaszloPapp Because the OP was confused about what those packages were, and none of the other questions I found explained what they were.

Laszlo Papp

In general, I downvote answers that I see feeding clearly off-topic or otherwise closed questions I am afraid.

Good for you. And can you please stop turning chat into a review queue RSS feed?

Laszlo Papp

I do not think you decide about the rules here, and the chat has been working the way it does for a long time before you coming here lately.

people do post close vote requests, and others even appreciate that.

I just pretty much followed what others have been already doing here. If you want to bash about it, talk to the channel owner(s).

Jason C

There's a car accident on the corner in front of my house at least once a week. I should put a camera out there and start a YouTube channel.

Although I'd never be able to beat 11foot8.com

Sumurai8

Probably not legal to do that

Jason C

7:08 AM

I don't know what the laws are @Sumurai8 but I think they're pretty lax as long as you aren't invading privacy. E.g. security cameras facing the street have almost no restrictions, but can't be, say, aimed into the window of an unrelated building across the street.

I wonder what the rules are though.

Braiam

IMO, you are supposedly legally responsible of whatever your video may film

Jason C

@Braiam @Sumurai8 Well apparently these guys have no legal issues with it, at least.

It was aimed at the street a second ago, they moved it to aim it up at the building as soon as I said that, almost as if they're spying on this chat room... :O

Sumurai8

@Braiam They should make it so that you are responsible for the acts that are visible on the camera. Think about it. If no-one sees it, it never happened. Those pesky cameras make the world continue... If everyone would just close their eyes for a minute, the universe could have some rest. If the universe doesn't stop for that minute, there must be alien lifeforms out there that keep the universe advancing.

So, this old recommendation question was (recently?) voted for deletion, and there's a little debate about whether or not it should actually be deleted.

user163250

It's definitely popular, and I'm unclear about what the right decision is.

Jason C

@Cupcake Before I even look at that I'd say post about it on meta. You will get a wider variety of opinions here.

@michaelb958 Unicorn bacon?

user163250

Ok, Up, Up, and Away to META! :D

Nighty nighty! :D CUPCAKE OUT! :D <3

@Cupcake And IMHO the question should remain closed (it directly goes against current site rules, whether somebody agrees with them or not), but should be locked for historical reasons rather than deleted, presuming the answer is not obsolete.

michaelb958

^ I agree with that guy.

@Cupcake: I am voting for deletion.

Such posts get deleted frequently, and you do not even need to worry about the reputation because it is basically preserved. One thing that could be done in the future as there is an SR site now that, it could be migrated, but really, flame is not welcome on SO.

remember the golden rule of migration ;)

user163250

Hey guys, thanks for the input. I've actually started a discussion about the question on Meta, if you want to check it out or participate.

user163250

@LaszloPapp the problem is migration is, the question is over 5 years old, and questions over 60 days old can't be migrated.

@Cupcake: yes, that is an unfortunate regulation IMHO, and should be changed.

already approved.

Jason C

@Qantas94Heavy I clicked that within 3 seconds of you posting it, but looks like the OP himself approved it.

Qantas 94 Heavy

Well the OP has "bad english" anyway

Jason C

OneKitten rolled it back so all is well.

Laszlo Papp

unfortunately, it is hard to get help with edits here because they are happening too quick. All the time, I am trying to help, the edit in question is already closed.

I did not know you could have different names on different sites...

Qantas 94 Heavy

Yes, you can. Changing the display name on one site doesn't change the name on another... ;)

Laszlo Papp

not sure I like this feature.

A: How do I make a bullet move to a given x,y from a mouse-event?

I strongly recomend that you study java graphics more in depth as well as handling events, or even following a tutorial on game programming before trying to make one. If you're lazy (like me) you could search on youtube for java game programming, there are plenty of great tutorials, easy to foll...

I do not think answer is attempting to answer the question (or closing it)...

Yay, another chance to play "Which Flag is Best?".

Qantas 94 Heavy

Laszlo Papp

I supported you for the time being, but IMHO it does not make sense to get it just closed.

IMHO, it is a typical example of just burning right away.
