user259867

You see what it does to your nice heuristic for spam, @hichris123 ?

user259867

When I see that an image is hyperlinked, I assume it's on purpose: clicking it will lead me to some additional information (such as full size image, or a video from which the image is taken, etc). The new approach defeats this expectation by making everything hyperlinked, most of the time without a reason. The Markdown sources are now uglier too. And all this is to save -- on rare occasion when it's needed -- the trouble of right-clicking and opening full image in another tab? With the new system, I am probably still going to open in another tab, because I need the text of the question too. — Normal Human 4 hours ago

@NormalHuman Thanks.

@Shog9 which problem? People flagging and moderators declining them or people waging Holy Wars because their flags were declined?

@Braiam the former is small; the latter is smaller

Looking back at my answer there, the most useful bit would seem to be the canned decline reason

Q: Stack Overflow desktop notifier

Is there any desktop notifier for stackoverflow.com? I'd like it to notify in the system tray when questions of my interest are posted, answers and comments to my questions are given, etc.
