I don't think I can understand that definition
 
what do you consider abusive?
 
posting programming questions on meta probably is an abuse of the system yet such flag wouldn't fly here.
 
Merged your PR, @JasonC.
 
If someone copies and pastes a block of unrelated text into an answer box I'd consider that a deliberate abuse of the system yet I've seen such flags declined
 
@hichris123 Oh; thanks!
 
11:03 PM
@JanDvorak Well, there's abuse of the system.... and then there's clueless user.
 
How can that be an honest mistake?
 
@Shog9 For the purpose of that flag; "content that a reasonable person would deem inappropriate for respectful discourse."
 
@JanDvorak What are we talking about here? A random codeblock? Or "awleraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"?
 
@hichris123 someone copy/pasting a block from the help center into an answer box
 
Actually now I'm unclear which post you guys are referring to.
 
11:05 PM
eh. If I'm nice, that's NAA. If I'm not... abusive. Because really, that's the point where you say a user isn't going contribute to this community.
 
Now, if I make any further changes in my SmokeDetector fork, will they somehow also magically become part of that pull request (like my first attempt at fixing whitespace did)? Or is it separate again now that the request has been closed?
 
They are now separate
 
Thanks; and then, does that imply that I shouldn't sync any further local changes while I'm waiting for a pull request to be processed, or else they'll automagically be incorporated into the pull request whether I want them to or not?
 
You could have a separate branch
Holding the changes locally is also an option provided you won't push to your repo accidentally
 
What's the usual practice when working on somebody else's code in your own fork? To make a separate branch for the changes you intend to put in a pull request, make the changes and do the request from there, then merge it back into your master later, or to do the changes and the pull request from the master and make a separate branch if you want to work on more things while it's open?
 
11:18 PM
Having a separate branch for stuff you work on is always a good idea
 
What's with the stripes?
 
I don't know but they reaffirm my love for AdBlock.
 
11:34 PM
@SmokeDetector fp, needs edit
 
@KevinBrown Registered question as false positive and added title to Bayesian doctype 'good'.
 
!!/pull
Oh I see; that takes an action, it's not a status thing.
 
!!/rev on the other hand
 
11:46 PM
!!/rev
 
Ninja'd
!!/help
 
@JasonC I'm SmokeDetector, a bot that detects spam and low-quality posts on the network and posts alerts to chat. Type !!/commands for a command list.
 
!!/commands
 
@JasonC addblu, rmblu, addwlu, rmwlu, wut, lick, hats, alive, rev, status, reboot, stappit, master, clearbl, block, unblock, errorlogs, pull, help, apiquota, queuestatus, commands
 
11:47 PM
Hm; could be improved by marking which are privileged, and also the non !!/ commands. I have an idea, but I need to learn more Python first.
 
@JasonC oh that's why it rebooted.
 
In theory I can test my own changes to the bot by getting API keys and running it in some other room, right?
Oh @hichris123 sorry about that.
 
np
@JasonC yes, or you could just use a python console... i.e. paste some code in that you want to try.
