Apparently when a moderator deletes comments too fast, it can cause some of the later ones to error out and not update the CommentCount on the post, causing the "add / show x more comments" button to appear when there aren't actually any (more) comments on the post.
I can't feel any difference between meta stack exchange and meta stackoverflow, I (and I think many others too) had used to use MSE as would it be MSO, So now, as there is a specific MSO site, wouldn't it be wise, to give at least the option of moving the own content from MSE to MSO?
Or am I eve...
@LaszloPapp I voted to close that other answer too... however, one time I did that, and a moderator rejected my flag vote b.c the mod didn't want to take away the 15 points from the answerer
@Bart Pretty much. But it's a long story, like he ended up finding a dupllicate to that question and liike merging or something, so in the end the checkmark went away anyways..
Anyway, my point was, why shouldn't the votes expire if it can't gather the votes to close? I know that kicks in only after 100 views though, so that's not the case here. The votes didn't expire.
do you seriously think SO has all the capability to get 5 close votes for every crappy post? If that was the case, we did not have 120K questions in the close vote queue .......
Pfff, people complaining about variable naming in a question someone asked, I edit the question, "but now the answers don't make sense", I revert my edit, "why don't you edit the answers instead?"
I wish those people spent their time doing things instead of talking about them
I can tell you most of the 3K+ users in the qt tag do not care about close votes, but they go for hunting reputation with crappy answers for crappy questions. It really is a misleading measure of yours.
@LaszloPapp How do you know they aren't obeying the rules? Maybe they think the questions are somewhat decent. You are implying that your 1 vote should be worth more than their 100 because you are right and they are not.
@LaszloPapp So, what makes you an expert and the people with 3K not an expert? 3K isn't something to sneeze at. They have put some time into SO. It may not be how you want them to put time in, but they have done more than simply edit questions for reputation.
@LaszloPapp Do they? Score mean you've spent more time on SO and have been able to answer more questions the fastest. Sounds like a rep whore to me. Expert means you have shown, consistently, that your answers are helpful to multiple people. Forgive this jab, but I recall you getting unexplained downvotes. Perhaps that's people saying your answers aren't correct.
and yes, scores do make experts, just like moderator thought when giving them additional rights. I cannot simply think any other measure for becoming a tag expert, honestly, nor could the moderators, but you are free to enlighten me and them. :-)
@Andy: and anyway, your fundamental concept of close vote queue being OK is not justified by the site owners who have made several recent changes in that regard, and there is likely more to come.
I suggested some of the changes they have made recently, e.g. more power to experts, but back then I ran into objection, still they came to the same conclusion months later. ;)
@LaszloPapp I wasn't arguing it was OK. I was arguing that the idea of votes expiring makes sense, especially if a question has 100 views and can't garner 5 people to close it.
@Braiam: I would phrase that so they are too conservative ;)
@Andy: you are contradictory, sorry. You are telling me yourself that many high-rep users do crappy things to hunt rep, and then you claim view numbers matter.
I do not trust "100" mostly non-authorized, non-expert and rep-hunter views, honestly. I trust experts lotta more.
@LaszloPapp View numbers matter for the vote expiration, yes. You only need 15 rep to flag a post. In a tag like qt or jquery, you have more than enough users that have 15 rep to issue a flag. If, in 100 views, you can't get 5 15 rep users to flag a post as close worthy, then the votes should start expiring.
Start to age away at one per day immediately after there are 100 views*
This. There's no "view history" that'd tell us when a post crosses 100 views, so when the aging task fires it just looks at every post that has at least 100 views where all outstanding close votes are older than 4 days. ...
Which means you need 5 people with 250 rep to keep the votes from expiring
@Stijn For jquery, that means there are 11,278 users that can cast a close vote. If 5 of those can't be bothered to do so, why should the close votes stick around?
So Switching from PS3 to Cable Box works normally, but switching from Cable Box to PS3 requires me to go by that TV mode which for some reason doesn't let me move past until it loads the fuzz.
I should just buy a second TV and use one for PS3 and one for cable box.
have any of you watched that show "catfish"? It's so funny, b.c like nev and the other guy act like their geniuses because they know how to google image search
What browsers support the jQuery promise stuff?
I can't seem to find the info on the jQuery site.
