This was probably the first CR question picked up by SD. :D

@Jamal Can you please revert my edit? I accidentially removed a whole file from the question.

cv-unclear stackoverflow.com/questions/1443199/convert-bytes-to-gb-in-php

@ProgramFOX Done

@Jamal I... don't see anything that changed.

Damn, there was an error. I'll try again.

[ SmokeDetector ] All-caps title: MYSQL UPDATE COLUMN WITH MULTIVALUES SEPARATED BY COMMA by s19k15 on stackoverflow.com

@Jamal If it still gives an error, I can also add the file again.

I'm still getting errors for some reason. Oh well. It's a crappy question anyway.

oh, it's already removed by the author

@ProgramFOX story of my life ...

@Rafflesiaarnoldii To what end? Some 1 score answers are good

especially on less popular tags

Oh. I misunderstood your scenario

Oops

Also good morning to you....

Guys! We need to assemble a team to infiltrate Pixar before the 2017!

Hi. Question about the Closevotes chat room. Is its existence an admission that the close review queue on Stack Overflow doesn't work well? Or is its purpose different?

@Boann No it is not.

@Boann It is not

dang. Rene for the win

It's not which?

@Boann, might want to read our faq

It is not an admission that the review queue doesn't work

@Boann It's purpose is to make the life for the reviewers who do like to handle them a little bit nicer

He's talking about bjb's room. Same answers should apply though

@Andy Oh, missed that

So I don't understand the difference in purpose.

@Boann The queue does work, it is just the amount of questions on a daily basis that get close votes that make the queue grow out of control

Same goes for moderator flags

And just for reference, @rene is talking about Stack Overflow's CV queue

I find that voting to close things on SO works incredibly badly because most of the time the votes just get deleted. Should I never use that feature, and just post links in that chatroom instead?

@Boann That room exist to get the attention on the real crap questions that otherwise would never get enough votes to get closed when left in the queue

@rene Aren't there about a hundred thousand of those?

@Boann You might check if you can filter on a tag like we do here

@Boann Yep, but there more than enough users with the privileges to vote. They should use that privilege.

Today there have been 1,883 reviews. If they all focused on the same tags, those tags would be empty in no time. Part of the problem is that everyone works on their own review items, so it takes longer to get 5 people to sign off on it before the close votes expire.

If they did the problem would be much smaller

We could have [java] empty today if every person who reviewed today did java.

@gunr2171 I'd never thought of that before, but you're right, it's another reason why the automatic vote deletion is totally absurd.

@gunr2171 I doubt that....

@Boann That is what we try to do in our chat room

@rene It's a guesstimation at best

@rene I thought what we saw was what was there. The fuzzing is gone according to this - assuming I'm reading it right

@gunr2171 Wait, which chat room? Is 766 for specific tags of questions?

@Andy No, that is not completely true

Not all questions with CV's are let in the queue

@gunr2171 Okay, then I'm still trying to figure out the purpose of 766. It seems to just be a handy queue-jumping system.

@Andy It is filtered such that around 10K of questions are in the CVQ

I can't comment on 766. @Sam brought this conversation to our attention and we wanted to weigh in our input.

And that isn't because votes age away, @rene?

Interesting. Thanks.

@Boann On low traffic tags that have no chatroom that are open for cv-pls it is handy to have such an room.

the php room does accept cv-pls but c# and c++ doesn't if I recall correctly

So if something needs to be closed fast a chatroom is your only hope

And still: every user should check/evaluate the question before taking any action.

To quote our faq/rene:

> We don't want to become a close vote posse. Every user should handle the review based on their own opinion/knowledge, choosing leave open, close, edit or skip when appropiate. Concentrating attention on a question in the context of whether or not to close a question, severely biases attention toward closing the question.

It is not the purpose of the rooms to organize voting-rings / bashing of users etc...

@gunr2171 Not only my text but also that of Andrew

SF is having an election

@Braiam Oh, let me check...

Need 200 more rep before I can nominate myself

And, despite being a back-end dev I have nothing with servers...

Evan Carroll

oy @gunr2171. Welcome!!

Why not simply hire him @Shog9?

@Rafflesiaarnoldii you did have an account before the election started?

sf?

Server Fault

SO, SF, SU, AU...

How about we just get bluefeet elected over there?

I wonder if any of the acronyms complete STFU?

SOFU was close

yep

See it as a reward for all the valuable contributions he has supplied you with over the years @Shog9. And who else to make the perfect Jeff replacement?

@TGMCians already voted on that one in august

Ah

@SmokeDetector really, someone should change that title

@SmokeDetector false

@hichris123 Registered as false positive and added title to Bayesian doctype 'good'.

@Rafflesiaarnoldii That's what my bot does. It uses the top 200 question titles from every site.

@Rafflesiaarnoldii All time.

Sorry, top 400.

.... uh...

Currently, only Pham can see those stats (from what I know).

Maybe?

I just mod-deleted an answer, and immediately got +15 in the topbar. I should do this more often.

SO chat is coming up it's 20 millionth message...

(~19,999,700 atm)

@Rafflesiaarnoldii My guess: Random Number God.
