Tavern on the Meta

I'd rather employees spend more time fixing bugs than writing reports saying they are fixed. The list of feature changes is community-maintained, and it works quite well. Same could be done for bug reports, especially minor ones.

51 blatant cv-plz-rec-tool library questions here Every cv you do will give me a helpful flag.

cVplZ

@Frank and how many stars will it give me?

Frank

There you go.

So far I have 424 helpful flags on SO. I wanna see 500.

No user with 101 rep has a marshal badge on SO.

cVplZ

@Frank the thing that sucks about most those questions you listed, is they have 0 close votes currently and more than a 100 views... so if it doesn't get like 5 close votes within the week my close votes on them become obsolete and removed, and you dont' get any helpfuls

Frank

@cVplZ Flags become helpful after one cv.

Last time animuson got half of 'em and Jason C. got the rest.

And Jan

@Frank well, ask Animuson, he has mod-close hammer

Is this answer of mine correct?

No clue. It's been too long since I've messed with my gravatar.

@Louis that's the problem... isn't the avatar, but the gavatar that the user has issues with ;)

Louis

There. Fixed. :)

Frank

I wish I could propose edits on child metas, especially from beta sites where I have over 500 rep.

@Louis noyadidnt

(gavatar/gravatar)

Louis

@Frank Then your answer is definitely wrong. It should be "you don't have a gavatar here." :P

The ELU story reminds me of something similar at TeX. There is a notable user there who types most posts in all lowercase letters. Bill the Lizard suggested edits; rejected. Meta debate ensued. Bill got his TeX account deleted.

@Rafflesiaarnoldii They can shut it down, though

user259867

Theoretically. ELU is #5 in traffic among SE sites, and it's one of few SE sites I found naturally through Google searches... they must be doing something right on large scale.

Andrew T.

I guess the core problem is, they see ELU as their site almost exclusively, they don't see outsiders' opinions useful.
