@SmokeDetector WHY?

SmokeDetector

@tchrist There is no why data for that post (anymore).

tchrist

Then make some up.

@tchrist It's 'cause it's not English.

Other rooms often report NAA's rather than spam.

tchrist

And so we are supposed to spam flag it?

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

No.

tchrist

It seems to have the right answer.

Now I think about it, chat suspension works in a weird way. Like, even if you are banned on meta.exchange and banned on all stackoverflow chats, you can still chat here or in any of the child sites.

@chmod711telkitty We can fix that for you. :)

@Shog9 was going to ask you, if I ping you like this @Shog9 @shog9 @shog9 is this one or many notifications for you?

Shog9

yup

DragonLord the Fiery

@chmod711telkitty Up to one notification per message.

I've been reporting non english answers to smokey. I will stop if that is wrong

I thought I asked and was told it's okay at some point, but I can't find it

tchrist

@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M You are heartless but very well: fixed that for you. Now rescind your downvotes. :) I’ve left in Financeiro for you to guess on your own because I know how hard that is.

Braiam

bad durron, bad!

durron597

@Shog9 May I direct you at a few recent MSE posts of mine, if you have a few minutes?

Shog9

are they about flags?

they're about flags, aren't they

durron597

@Shog9 they are about review queues

Shog9

admit it

@tchrist no querrás decir "chino"?

@Shog9 This and this

@Braiam Tuve que dejarle algunos misterios, sabes. :)

durron597

I was hoping Brad Larson weighing in on the first one might get staff response, but honestly that's been a bugaboo of his for a very long time

Shog9

@durron597 yeah, i've seen 'em

still not entirely sure what to do there; I don't think First Posts is that useful in practice

Braiam

checks /review on AU yep, still there

durron597

@Shog9 I agree it's not that useful, but I also think that a lot of garbage does end up in that queue for obvious reasons

I saw... somewhere that it used to require three reviews to clear a first post review but it was changed back when No Action Needed didn't exist

Braiam

meh, I think that a post of a new user should be added (or removed) a fixed value from the quality score... so it ends on triage or rejected altogether

durron597

10:25 PM

@Shog9 I totally agree with that decision, obviously, but now that No Action Needed does exist, it should be back to three people, for the reasons stated by this wise sage

The default should be, your question is closed, and you have to find at least five people who think it should be opened.

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

Seems legit.

Braiam

that can work... but seriously, 9.5 out of 10 times a new user question sucks

tchrist

10:28 PM

Which is why it needs editing.

And mindreading.

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

Except my first post.

Oh wait, all of my posts need telepathy.

Braiam

@tchrist you are forgetting the use of a crystal ball

And mindreading.

Braiam

fortune telling != mindreading

at least they shouldn't

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

Fortune reading == mind telling?

tchrist

10:31 PM

Oh, but I think they are.

Braiam

depends on whose mind

tchrist

fortune telling = bogus charlatanism
mindreading = bogus charlatanism
fortune telling = mindreading

QED

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

Nah, it's not bogus.

I can read your mind now.

Q: What is the origin of ZOMG?

I have looked in a number of places, with contradicting results. The Urban Dictionary provides a whopping 73 "explanations", of which I will quote just a few. (Original spelling and punctuation preserved.) ZOMG is a varient of the all-too-popular acronym "OMG", meaning "Oh My God". ZOMG...

Didn't even know this question existed.

Favicons on lang-SO sites have been simplified to white on a solid color representing... Hm, I guess a country? Yeah, languages don't have flags.

user259867

pt-SO got green, ja-SO got red (not white, naturally)

user259867

This left blue for ru.SO, although red would be much more appropriate.

user259867

es-SO will have to settle for yellow.

The Leonese lion has a nice color: Argent, a lion rampant purpure crowned or, langued and armed gules.

Still, I think or should win.

user259867

They limited the options too much by sticking with white as foreground color. Japanese could be red on white instead, and Russian white on red. Then Spanish would be yellow on red.

@bjb568 By the way, this is why Smokey privilege is unlikely. Giving it to a user running an undocumented bot with occasional undesirable behavior seems imprudent.

@bjb568, any documentation for your bot?

@tchrist So I don't spam the tavern like this
