@ShadowWizard hm. that's a separate bug. write it up on meta if it ... puts on sunglasses ... bugs you? :)

Bart

Braiam

@AnnaLear it does... really

Anna Lear

@Bart perfect :)

del pls meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/252656/…

Shadow Wizard

@bjb568 flag?

bjb568

21:08

@ShadowWizard Delete. Flagging is a delete vote.

Shadow Wizard

(nobody here except Anna can delete anyway)

bjb568

Isn't it 4 flags or something that would delete it?

Shog9

lazy here bodies. Get delete rights already.

bjb568

@Shog9 You can transfer me yours. \o/

Shadow Wizard

@Shog9 maybe grant the power to delete comments at 30k rep then? :D

bjb568

21:09

Or 2k?

Undo

@ShadowWizard Heck no. Imagine h2co3 being able to delete comments.

Shadow Wizard

@Undo oh, he's back?! ;)

Shog9

@bjb568 depends. Can be as low as 1 flag, or as high as [not sure there's a limit, depends on comment score]

Undo

@ShadowWizard No. But I can point to other >30k users that I wouldn't want being able to unilaterally delete comments.

Shog9

@rlemon that's a baphomet. If the breasts are the only part you see as offensive, I'm pretty sure you don't get to be offended by it.

bjb568

21:11

@Undo What's wrong with h2co3?

Undo

No comment

bjb568

I see his lingering traces, they don't seem too horrible.

Shog9

@bjb568 mildly acidic

[ SmokeDetector ] SmokeDetector started (@Undo)

Undo

21:15

Oh yay, it brought itself back to life

Shadow Wizard

@Undo wow, it's alive

Braiam

@Undo there are couple things wrong in that sentence

^ Anybody for censoring that?

Shadow Wizard

nah, too much of an edge case. You create account one single time, maybe it's good to always see the homepage afterwards. ;)

@Braiam feel free to submit a report and use my steps. :)

@bjb568 you mean delete? no, why?

bjb568

@ShadowWizard Well, both people are being rude. Isn't that not supposed to happen on SE including chat?

Anna Lear

21:22

Meh. Deleted.

A nearly year-old frozen chat room? Not worth arguing about even a little bit.

Tim Stone

looks around

You know we're on the internet right?

Everything is worth arguing about!

rabblerabblerabble

Shadow Wizard

@TimStone I argue against that! ;)

Anna Lear

dammit, Shadow beat me to that

bjb568

@ShadowWizard ur annoying

@AnnaLear ur annoying

Braiam

I argue for the sake of continuing the argument

@Anna while we're at it, did you have chance to ping Jin about this?

Q: Links in promotion ads are black on black, thus invisible

I have just noticed this: There are links in there, clickable and everything but not shown due to the site theme. It should be something like this: (taken from different site in the network) Can the color become cross-site please?

Now this one actually bothers my poor eyes :D

Anna Lear

@ShadowWizard uh. probably?

Braiam

hichris123

@ShadowWizard Just poke @Pops to poke Jin. Pops doesn't mind.

Shadow Wizard

@Braiam nice!

hichris123

:P

Shadow Wizard

@AnnaLear maybe?

Anna Lear

On a scale of 1 to 10, I likely did.

Shadow Wizard

21:29

It's just that it feels so quick to fix, that's all

Braiam

@hichris123 Unless is with a sharp stick... in that case Pops do mind

bjb568

Too much.

Like, whining rooms need to be unlocked.

That's it.

Shadow Wizard

You can hire Ilmari Karonen as a freelance for some of those CSS bugs, @Anna ;)

bjb568

You can hire kittens too!

Shadow Wizard

@bjb568 no, they need too much milk

and milk means cows

Anna Lear

21:30

Not sure what the situation is here (haven't looked), but these css fixes aren't always as simple as they look. Depends on where the rules are actually coming from. e.g. fixing something in a shared stylesheet means reviewing 40+ sites, etc.

bjb568

Come to think of it, I basically voluntarily work for SE like… 12 yours a day… reviewing…

@ShadowWizard Ah, I guess they need to get their hamsters together first.

Shadow Wizard

@bjb568 yup

bjb568

@AnnaLear ur css stink

Braiam

someone mentioned Cows?

Shadow Wizard

@AnnaLear I think this one is specific to Skeptics, with its black theme

Anna Lear

21:32

Shadow Wizard

@Braiam better than goats!

ohhhh, awesome movie @Anna :)

How can I fiddle with a remote filesystem thru ssh without using a terminal on mac?

Doorknob

@bjb568 Why without a terminal?

bjb568

@Doorknob Terminals are annoying and hard to use.

Doorknob

@bjb568 Eww. Doing something with a GUI when you could do it from a command line is annoying and clunky.

Braiam

@bjb568 mount it locally....

rlemon

22:00

@Shog9 I started by saying i'm not offended. just wondering what the acceptability of such a gravatar is

bjb568

@Braiam How?

Braiam

@bjb568 digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/…

bjb568

@Braiam Installed osxfuse.github.io sshfs: command not found

Shog9

@rlemon depends on how folks accept it

general rule is, if folks are offended by an avatar, we remove it

there are, of course, cases that we know will offend

Braiam

@bjb568 I don't use Macs...

bjb568

22:12

@Braiam Ugh.

AstroCB

What exactly caused Community to protect this?

Braiam

@AstroCB several deleted answers

AstroCB

@Braiam I thought so: thanks.

Q: Automatically protect questions with three or more low-rep-user deleted answers

There are a few "automatically protect questions" requests out there, but I'd like to add another twist. I'd like to request that questions that have three or more deleted answers by users with <50 rep be automatically protected. The reasoning behind this is that we have lots and lots of "not a...

feature-request status-completed moderation protected-questions

tl;dr: Braiam is right.

Shadow Wizard

@Pops beat me to it :(

Pops

22:17

My job is secure for one more day.

Shadow Wizard

yeah, you're the fastest CM in the west!

Braiam

@Pops I don't even have 10k :P

Pops

@hichris123 I'm guessing this is handled.

hichris123

@Pops Possibly. I'm not sure. ;)

Pops

Good enough for me!

hichris123

22:21

But you don't mind being poked, right @Pops? Right???

:P

Shadow Wizard

@Pops nope. Jin wasn't poked hard enough by @Anna just yet :D

Pops

Considering the nature of your request, and knowing what Jin is up to these days (a super-gigantic overhaul of all the CSS in the network) I'm going to do nothing for a little while.

Braiam

@hichris123 told you, that if it's with a sharp stick, Pops do mind being poked at

Doorknob

@Pops Ooooh, overhaul!

Is it sekrit or can you tell us what will change?

Pops

It's gonna be LESS.

Shadow Wizard

22:24

@Pops LESS is MORE!

Jamal

@hichris123 Just make sure it's not with a big stick. I believe it's in the SE job perks list.

Pops

There might be more to it than that, but if there is, I don't know about it. I'm not on the design team, after all.

hichris123

@Jamal Only sharp sticks.

It says nothing about the size of the stick.

Shadow Wizard

size does not matter, @hichris123

Jamal

That is true.

Pops

AstroCB

Any reason to tag with google-maps-api-2 and google-maps-api-3? stackoverflow.com/questions/25393862/google-maps-api-error

Shadow Wizard

@AstroCB not really, need to choose the one he's actually using

AstroCB

22:31

@ShadowWizard He didn't mention either, so I just kept 3.

Not that the question will be left open for too much longer...

Shadow Wizard

@AstroCB maybe ask in a comment?

hichris123

> Version 2 of the API has been officially deprecated as of May 19, 2010.

Shadow Wizard

@hichris123 classic ASP is deprecated for eons, yet people keep using it

AstroCB

@ShadowWizard He probably doesn't even know which one he's using...

Braiam

@hichris123 then, lets just keep one tag for the current api version... no?

Shadow Wizard

22:32

@AstroCB oh, that's just... sad

AstroCB

@Braiam There isn't just a general google-maps-api, either.

bjb568

@AstroCB Make one!

AstroCB

@bjb568 I don't know enough about the API to know whether that's warranted.

Braiam

@AstroCB hears the wind saying: meta... meta... meta... ask in meta...

@Braiam Asking questions will bring you shame.

Q: Is my website possibly being hacked?

I might be insane to write this here, but I am just too scared as of now. There are 2 websites that I have hosted on iPage. All the PHP pages across both my websites were modified early this morning around 9AM and all of them have the following prefix <?php /*db9fce8e7e3b4062309ef5d7c0193183_on...

animuson

23:36

Damn people that can't read. grumbles

hichris123

> Please don't ass things unless you actually know for sure.

animuson

@hichris123 Haha I did that in a tag wiki on SO once too.

tchrist

@animuson And you wonder why we keep asking for a recently-edited list for tag wikis. Gorsh.

hichris123

@tchrist Oh, I thought you were going to say, "You wonder why we complain about moderators!". :P

animuson

It's ok, my coworker typed in "Green Gay, WI" as a birthplace, versus "Green Bay"...

tchrist

23:39

Sometimes it saddens me that I cannot +1 a checkin message. :)

animuson

The funnier part was that the gay guy at the office happened to check that stack of voter registrations.

Jamal

@hichris123 Shog keeps telling me not to ass things, but I do so anyway...

tchrist

I have some very Freudian slips in my checkins. After the first few thousand, they all blur and you just type any which thing or your mother.

@animuson What, only one? How can this be? :)

Must not be from Thebes. Those guys only come in pairs.
