Tavern on the Meta

@Frank No, just failing basic motor skills today.

@Frank Night!

@Frank 'night

Night!

@InfiniteRecursion Rene's comment is amusing: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/240839/…

4:06 AM

@LynnCrumbling yes, rene wrote that after I shared my disappointment in the Tavern

@InfiniteRecursion I've always thought you were female, but would have considered it rude to even ask, because the question then is.. why does it matter?

@InfiniteRecursion Your comment does a nice job of summing that up.

@LynnCrumbling yes, I am female and it doesn't matter, I wrote about it long ago on MSO, hope someday SE community will be mature enough to understand that and it will be easier for us to participate here. This is one reason I don't participate on any site SE actively, even if I write a comment, I get attacked, and it's not worth it.

Writing someone and then spending time flagging the responses you recieve from other people leaves a bitter taste

@InfiniteRecursion that's sad.

not english stackoverflow.com/q/26499891/3622940

@LynnCrumbling Yes, but SE team is very helpful. They remove offensive stuff pretty fast, that's why I am still here :)

4:16 AM

@InfiniteRecursion the answer that you linked to doesn't show up for me.

@LynnCrumbling ok, undeleted it for you, after you read it, I will nuke it

This question appears to be off-topic because it is about the post is not in English. — Lynn Crumbling 2 mins ago

Nice grammar

@Unihedron shoot.

Yep, I waited for two minutes before telling, you're welcome.

@Unihedron Fixed.. thanks. More than slightly embarrassing.

@InfiniteRecursion Following link now

4:19 AM

:o

Oh, the timer on comments are 5 minutes...

@Unihedron hehehehe >:)

@InfiniteRecursion Done reading.. thank you.

@LynnCrumbling removed it :)

@InfiniteRecursion We regularly have customers call in that talk to our Tier 1 Sales/Support (all of which are female). And sometimes they treat them horribly, only to be perfectly pleasant when they get to Tier 2 (which happens to be all guys). And many times, the tiers are asking the exact same questions. Now, I suppose it could be wanting to talk to someone more technical, but it never comes off like that.

@InfiniteRecursion We had one call last week, that if my boss hadn't been at a tradeshow, I know he would have had the call transferred to him and told the customer exactly how he felt.

@InfiniteRecursion anyway, I digress.

:(

Thanks @LynnCrumbling

@Unihedron Wut? Why sad?

Why does drupal receive more spam than the rest of the sites?

Or is that just my imagination?

Wow.. those have survived for 7 and 17 minutes.

Why is Drupal such a spam magnet? The traffic isn't that great, 23k/day.

to create a site that's literally the largest spam magnet across SE.

Oh good, making progress toward Deputy badge on drupal. Among recent deputies, a number of 101-rep users.

user259867

5:08 AM

And Jan Dvorak has Marshal there. How common is it for 101 rep user to have Marshal? Well... I'm not going to write a cross-site SEDE query for that, but I guess Jan may be the only one such.

@CareBear the most recent 7-8 awarded badges reads like a who's-who of tavern regulars.

soon time for bedtime.

user259867

Wonder if this will make it harder to score Deputy badges from the Tavern... if the stuff is only shown in some review queue on the target site.

@InfiniteRecursion Or MAYBE it rolls back weight to before the fat was put on!

@InfiniteRecursion Hence the anti-aging component!

Ok.. time to put my plan into action. To the laundry room!

@CareBear I am aiming for marshal badge on SO, with the help of tavern. Only few flags left. The day I am free, will be the day, when I get that badge in my pocket :D

@LynnCrumbling be quiet, the ice-cream monster might be listening to your movements :P

user259867

@DroidDev Easy: post some spam from a sock puppet account.

I had a deputy on Drupal before I deleted it, took a break from spam and created my new Drupal account today, already got 4 helpful flags in a few minutes

@JanDvorak troll, not sure. the AU community has disappointed me before by trolling and the troll told me he has 5K on that site...so...

@LynnCrumbling are you made of ice-cream? :P

@DroidDev working on it

@JanDvorak I think yes, initiates flagging procedures

Reminds me, my MSE post about AU community's trolling

@JanDvorak no, it's answerable in a few lines

Will you provide said few lines?

Also, is it a duplicate?

@InfiniteRecursion upvoted, but I don't know in here (After some time, the post was deleted, then undeleted, as the OP was trying to get a badge with assistance from the chat room users) which badge do you get for it :/

No, I won't. But I won't close it and stop others from providing an answer.

I think I'll get a marshal badge on MSE even before than SO with this speed of spams on MSE

y they never spam any other metas though?

@cVplZ traffic...maybe... :/

5:54 AM

@DroidDev meta.SO gets more traffic than most sites, but never seen spam there

@cVplZ even more than MSE? I've not been there since ages... Maybe I am low on facts here then....

@DroidDev how many helpful flags do you have on SO?

@cVplZ 423

right now, I get 51 post flags everyday, Comments flags might be around 40 or something

user259867

meta spam gone.

@DroidDev you can flag these ones here , start at bottom though, i already did a lot from the top..

6:00 AM

@cVplZ actually, right now, I have an app to deliver and because of Diwali here, I won't be coming for rest of the week so, gotta finish work. Therefore, I might be slow on flagging today, but thanks for help. I'll see what I can do :)

@DroidDev Marshal is a gold badge son..

user259867

I prefer to focus on the comments eligible for one-flag nuking: no extra work for mods. I hear SO mods are getting tired of SEDE-based flagging.

@cVplZ but, I can't pay for my internet, if I don't work :(

The answer I've never expected a single upvote to? Yeah. It's got awarded a bounty.

SPAM drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/134530/…

@cVplZ correction, I get around 52 comments flags everyday

should I be flagging this kind of comment as too-chatty?

6:27 AM

@cVplZ child metas need 5 rep to post, MSE allows at 1 rep

@InfiniteRecursion oh , i c ... amazing what a great barrier 5 points is

SPAM drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/134534/…

@cVplZ yes, it does work wonders. I read on some MSO rant post that spam was one of the reasons for putting 5 rep barrier for meta participation, an OP wanted all SO users to be allowed on MSO.

let me search for the rant, and see if it's still alive :P

@CareBear Yea. accepting is a magic word, thus why i linked that query to droid dev. Mods don't like the extra non-organic work. but you can bypass them with the magic words. They really need to allow for more magic words though. meta.stackexchange.com/questions/240501/…

> Because we allow anonymous participation, we require a small bit of parent site reputation to prevent spam

@InfiniteRecursion what? how?

@cVplZ That is where it's documented that 5 rep barrier for child meta participation is in place to prevent spam

not sure what they mean about anonymous participation.. like there is no checkbox i see to post a question on the metas as anonymous

@InfiniteRecursion with the current policies, yea

Sorry, one more comment - I think the solution is to give high-rep users more moderation power.
