@SmokeDetector Not sure what to do with that one.
user259867
It's sort of an answer: when you have this problem, run this tool and send the results to this email.
user259867
The site is consumer oriented, so for many of its users this is about the limit of what they can do, anyway.
@Cupcake true, auto complete works only for users who actually left a comment. It doesn't work even for some valid cases, e.g. editors.
user259867
Autocomplete works for everyone mentioned on the question revisions page, except non-binding closevoters.

You can ping a user who set a bounty there five years ago, and never commented.

Q: Expand the username auto-completion to everyone who can be notified

lunboks@username auto-completion for comments was recently implemented, and is already active on MSO. However, it only seems to auto-complete the usernames of people who have commented on the post. According to this topic, the list of users who can be explicitly notified also includes: The post autho...

user259867
That pre-dates dupehammer, which is a common use case now.
user259867
"Here's a user who single-handedly closed. We'd like to tell you that they can also reopen if needed. But we won't let you draw their attention to your edit."
@MiceElf well, that request does say "everyone who can be notified" :)
IMO adding one and not the other would be wrong

hmm... no bot here :/

user163250
@SmokeDetector hmm, rather sort of self-promotional, but the OP is not a commerical spammer
user163250
TP, but I don't think it warrants blacklisting, at least not this time.
user163250
12:43 PM
@SmokeDetector tp
@Cupcake true/tp cannot be used for answers because their job is to add the title of the question to the Bayesian doctype 'bad'. If you want to blacklist the poster of the answer, use trueu or tpu.
user163250
Meh.
user259867
@ShadowWizard Right now we have autocomplete for one group (commenters) but not the other (dupehammerers). So that's wrong.
user163250
12:44 PM
Self-promotion.

Close SD's latest report as too broad?
user163250
You poke him, I don't want to.
user202362
why?
user163250
Because I don't actually need an answer, and I feel bad whenever I poke a dev.

Every time I needlessly poke a dev, an angel loses its wings.
@UnitedStatesOfAmerica Probably unclear would work too because it makes little sense

I don't understand this behavior though.

Why spam only one exchange?
@Cupcake be glad
user163250
12:59 PM
But I mean, spamming Travel with Chinese sort of makes sense.
user163250
Maybe you get a few clicks from people interested in traveling to China.
user163250
But it makes less sense for SO.
user202362
maybe the spammers reckon people who play too much games would end up with low grades and have to buy degrees?

Just still amazed that he asked a question in English there.

A: Why have I been barred from posting questions?

Tim PostThis happened because you had an account that was blocked from asking questions, and returned after requesting deletion of your account, which we obliged. We're happy to give you an almost clean slate, but we must also protect the quality of the resource that we're building. To this, we just ask...

user163250
@UnitedStatesOfAmerica basically, when a post-banned user deletes his account, then creates a new one (from the same IP address?), the new account is significantly rate-limited, and will even inherit any previously remaining suspensions.

don't believe
@PraxisAshelin Why don't you believe it? Because he's 13 and can code?
@UnitedStatesOfAmerica Light bulb
Plot twist: @UnitedStatesOfAmerica is the son of @BoomsPlus
:-D
@ProgramFOX it's like that meme when ppl go "I'm 12 and what is this"
just seems awfully young
@ShadowWizard Boo Indian drama.
@uni if you really are 13, then mad props for already being able to code so well. definitely continue doing that
I could code when I was 10 years old, so why couldn't a 13 years old code? :P
@ProgramFOX note the "so well"
3:33 PM
@ProgramFOX Because a 16-year-old here can't code.
I started coding when I was 12, but it was mostly crap, and I wasn't writing OO javascript
@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M You?
Unless you count TeXing as coding.
@UnitedStatesOfAmerica Uh-huh.
I started when I was 11
And you don't want to see the code from that time
3:35 PM
@uni your bot is in OO javascript right?
You don't want to see my HTML pages from when I was 10 years old -- those eye-straining colors... xD
@PraxisAshelin His current bot is Python 3.
@UnitedStatesOfAmerica Don't tell me it wasn't printing 'hello world'.
@PraxisAshelin What do you mean?
I just use client side JS
No need for nodeJS on this project
OO = Object Oriented
@UnitedStatesOfAmerica Object Oriented Javascript. From the code snippets you showed I supposed you were doing that
3:36 PM
I know what OO means
Java is OO
@UnitedStatesOfAmerica I don't think you do
Javascript can be OO too, without node
@ProgramFOX Hehe our HTML project background in school was striped olive and pink and bright blue.
@PraxisAshelin I guess so, with so many objects:
                var messageList = $('.message-list');
                var main = $('<div>').attr('class', 'messageWrap message-in');
                var innerMessage = $('<div>').attr('class', 'message');
                var bubbleText = $('<div>').attr('class', 'bubble bubble-text');
                var messageText = ('<div>').attr('class', 'message-text');
                var selectableText = $('<span>').attr('class', 'selectable-text').text(playgroundInput.text());
                main.append(innerMessage.append(bubbleText.append(messageText.append(selectableText[0])[0])[0])[0]);
Wai is whatsapp like that? IDK
yeah you definitely don't know what OO is ^^
@PraxisAshelin Yes
3:36 PM
@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M O_o
tbh it's a really hard concept to explain too
hmm
do you have multiple javascript files for your code, or just put it all in one?
@PraxisAshelin I have 1 for the whatsapp API, and another for the main stuff
3:40 PM
@uni well tbh I can't code OO Javascript properly either. So I'm not able to explain u much about it
Well someday I will get it
Hopefully soon
but the code snippets you posted do look like you've made it OO. which is very good.
it's high quality code :D

@BradLarson you didn't want to do anything about stackoverflow.com/a/32283214/456814 ?
@Cupcake - Hey, just wanted to drop by in response to a few recent flags, in case the responses aren't read for a while. For users that have a past history of serial votes being invalidated, we generally already know about them and it's been dealt with. It's only where you see serial voting after that point that hasn't been reversed that we might want to know about, and even then if it's fairly strong.
user163250
4:12 PM
Ok.
Several of the flagged users that had votes invalidated months ago had those votes invalidated because we found them and warned / suspended at that time. We care more about targeted votes that haven't been invalidated, because that's something we need to stop or clean up.
user163250
Ok, I understand, I'll be more selective about my flagging.
@Cupcake While the code does indeed appear to be sourced from that other answer, it was expanded upon and additional wording was added. People copy and paste code snippets all the time, so I generally don't delete in those cases. At best, an indication of where the code was sourced from could be added, but that wasn't as blatant as the other examples.
Their rollback of your citation in that other answer was a dick move, though, and they've been sternly warned about that.
user163250
Ok.
