Lucky you. Not having all those notifications... When a flamewar emerges between 3rd parties under my answer, I usually delete the answer.

Frank

@Rafflesiaarnoldii Ha! I'm not that selfish.

Infinite Recursion

Yeah, lot of comments are coming under my troll answer too...notifications can be annoying

Frank

@Rafflesiaarnoldii Feel sorry for Jason C.

Jason C

Wat

Oh that.

Poor Jason C

@Rafflesiaarnoldii Lucky!

Jason C

Yeah seriously, why can't I just be a presumptuous, argumentative jerk in peace.

Unihedron

One time I posted an answer to why a question was NOT too broad (MSO). It got accepted, so I couldn't delete it. Guess what caused me to get hourly inbox notifications for the following three days.

Mooseman

@TGMCians opinion-based

Frank

I'm way too easy-going in real life, it reflects on my SE contributions.

user259867

Selfish? Just making the internet better, one delete click at a time.

TGMCians

5:05 PM

@InfiniteRecursion Ah I see you posted that gif in answer also /

Acceptance blocking self deletion is a ridiculous anti-feature.

THE GIF LIVES

Infinite Recursion

Meh, I wrote what the video denotes, now I will not respond to the OP

Jason C

@Frank My behavior in text is way different than my behavior when speaking. Dunno why. I don't even think it is, but I get constant hell in real life for being too jarring in emails. I think it's the tone. That many complaints can't be wrong, lol.

@Mooseman Stars every time!

user259867

I've seen OPs immediately accept the answer and then bombard the answerer with comments: please explain... explain... explain more.

Frank

@JasonC I... hope that's true.

Infinite Recursion

5:09 PM

@Mooseman: I posted that gif on MSO too meta.stackoverflow.com/a/276686/2982225

OP wanted video ;)

TGMCians

:P

Mooseman

@InfiniteRecursion Already upvoted! (Yes, I do scroll up for context before speaking) :)

Infinite Recursion

Ok :)

@JasonC, congratulations on your recent Godwin win.

Jason C

Thank you, thank you.

Frank

5:10 PM

@Andy Where's Zephyr?

Jason C

I was so flattered, I haven't been Godwinned in a looong time.

Andy

@Frank I forgot to restart it after I updated it this morning and the office recently started blocking SSH out so I can't get to my server to restart it

TGMCians

@Mooseman How ? it should be off-topic

Unihedron

@Andy SSH got blocked? The horror!

Andy

@Unihedron They don't like us talking to the outside world apparently.

Jason C

5:13 PM

I got an email from Godwin himself once. It's true. I asked him something about using the wikipedia logo. He replied with just, "No." I'll never wash my screen again!

Andy

And, in all honesty, I don't need to SSH into external servers, so I can't complain to much

Unihedron

No worries!

Mooseman

@TGMCians It just needs to be closed.

TGMCians

not only closed

it should be deleted

There's a post I just saw that appears to me to be a repost of something i saw earlier. I'm using FF and tried Ctrl-H and put in a few keywords there. AFAIK this only searches the titles and hyperlinks but not the contents of the cache. Anybody got a better method than Ctrl-H?

Sam

@Frank A coffee drinking tree with OCD... right.

Louis

(Ctrl-H brings up FF's history. In cast this needs be mentioned.)

TGMCians

@Mooseman already voted.

Jason C

5:50 PM

@Frank Because I forgot how to spell "software" 19 times.

Mooseman

@TGMCians 4/5 is a painful time...

TGMCians

Hmm

Frank

@JasonC Only counts one view per IP I thought.

@Frank I have a spell-checking botnet.

Q: How to review comment-as-an-answer in Low Quality queue?

How to review comment-as-an-answer in Low Quality queue when, and only when the answerer states "I can't comment on the answer given" or similar? Since the answerer is already aware it should be a comment, the deletion reason -- “This does not provide an answer to the question. To critique o...

STOP THE PRESSES!

user259867

@Mooseman It would be nice to have an option there "recommend conversion to comment", which would raise a mod flag after the answer is deleted. Presently, flagging the answer for mod attention (to ask for conversion) does not work very well, since the flags are cleared by deletion of the post.

Mooseman

@Rafflesiaarnoldii Agreed.

Q: Add 'Change (answer) to comment' option to review page

I asked this question on Meta TeX SE and was asked to post it here too. Some of the answers I review on TeX SE are not answers; they are comments. Normally this happens when a user does not have enough reputation to comment. To make things easier for the moderators, wouldn't it be possible to a...
