Hi

I need some help about this question of mine stackoverflow.com/questions/26486027/…

I edited it several times but just received dow-votes while I think the question is sane and has some long answers

Does deleting it helps? while it has some useful answers?

Andy

@Ahmad You won't be able to with those upvoted answers

Ahmad

But it just brought me down-votes, I am q-banned, and I want to leave it, its the most dow voted question of me

By the way this meta question of me meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/284017/… I edited it and asked some question in it. its still on hold, hope some check it again

What's the process for getting a tag renamed on SO? I figure it involves a Meta.SO but I have no idea what to tag it

Unihedro

@KevinBrown synonym-request or retag-request?

Kevin Brown

@Unihedro It'd be renaming videoplayer to video-player

Not something which we (non-mods) can do (the tags are too similar, the system knows)

Unihedro

@KevinBrown Meh, is it really necessary? AFAIK, auto-suggested tags ignores hyphens

@SmokeDetector fp

SmokeDetector

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

Kevin Brown

15:51

@Unihedro For consistency? audio-player and media-player exist, videoplayer kinda stands out

Unihedro

Eh, then tags by itself should be sufficient.

Bart

user259867

Speaking of incorrect hyphenation, note that experts-exchange is hyphenated all wrong.

A: Do tools and libraries constitute "helpful" link-only answers?

I had this to say on a similar question: Sometimes, a third-party tool, library, or framework is a viable solution to a problem. You can't post the entire code for a framework in an answer, and Stack Overflow doesn't host code repositories or other file downloads. While I'd prefer ...

I wouldn't flag it...

Yeah. It's... complicated.

user259867

20:15

@balpha Two days ago, SE bot felt the need to create a room for Ask Ubuntu, assigning it to the host "chat.askubuntu.com". Is this something you triggered, or is it sentient now?

balpha

hmm, it should only do that if there's no room for the corresponding site, but there clearly is one for AU

and if I delete it immediately recreates

Mooseman

Somebody gave the SE bot a mind of its own...

rene

Kick the bot ...

Braiam

the creation turned against its creator! :O

user259867

@balpha Normal AU rooms have host = askubuntu.com. Maybe you got extra chat. in a string somewhere. Other such chat-prefix-hosted rooms were created at different times, sometimes leading to confusion.

Is there a way to disable chat notifications for a room?

speaker button at top-right, next to "all rooms" button

those are the only choices you have

Kevin Brown

Aha, thanks

gunr2171

and if you are running chrome (not sure if there are others) you can find the "enable/disable desktop notifications" under the star board

Kevin Brown

Yup, I was just looking to hide notifications from a room I wasn't going to be visiting often

@bummi Mod flags it as spam or offensive/abusive

bummi

@Doorknob I know I flagged both posts, but was wondering why it was deleted by Community with just 2 votes (not a Mod)

I can often see up to 7 or more votes until it get's deleted

Doorknob

It's 6 flags or a single flag by a moderator.

bummi

@Doorknob usually a Mod's name is standing there if he is involved?

Doorknob

A moderator used the actual "flag" button to nuke it as spam.

Braiam

weird thing that neither of our German residents are involved D:

@Doorknob sorry for bothering but was is the difference between those stackoverflow.com/a/28198338/1699210 and stackoverflow.com/a/28191505/1699210

Doorknob

One was deleted by a moderator, and one was flagged as spam by a moderator.

bummi

@Doorknob ok, thanks, I did not know that this difference exists, what are the reasons for a or b since the effect (except the missing name) is the same?

user259867

23:12

@bummi One difference is that spam-flag by a mod (which immediately takes effect) not only deletes but also locks the post. Another is the 100 rep penalty applied in the case of flagging, but not deletion (I think)

hichris123

@Fundamental Right on both counts.

Braiam

@Fundamental uh

there's no practical difference between mod and 6-users spam/offensive flags

hichris123

@Braiam See the reply:

1 hour ago, by Doorknob

One was deleted by a moderator, and one was flagged as spam by a moderator.

bummi

@Fundamental this would mean a deleted one should have been deleted by me but not flagged as Spam, while the one flagged by the Mod was a correct Spam flag?

user259867

@bummi Not necessarily. A mod might reach for delete button instead of spam-flag because they are only 80% sure it's spam but 100% sure it's garbage. It does not prove your flag was wrong.

bummi

23:20

@Fundamental ok, thanks ... this will help improving my flagging, gtg cu
