I'm tempted to put my name down for the moderator nominations on Language Learning...

but my rep is like 200 vs their 1000s (granted I have more Meta participation than most of them ;p)

I know I'll be downvoted and probably guilted into removing my nomination ;-;

user315433

It's said somewhere (don't remember) that CoGro avoid picking the most prolific answerers as mods, when practical.

user315433

12:23 AM

But 200 vs 1000 is indeed a big difference (especially after 100 bonus is subtracted)

bjb568

160% symmetric difference

There's not a lot of voting anymore now that things have slowed down since the start of private beta

Most of them haven't moved up much more than like +20 for a few weeks

I'm sure the CMs will choose the right people for the job

Speaking of, it's just Robert Cartaino doing the CoGro stuff nowadays isn't it?

I have got an issue with chatroom info update.

Whenever I add some more tags to chat room info, it redirects me to Oops! Something Bad Happened! page.

Shadow Wizard

7:23 AM

What tag you try to add?

TheLittleNaruto

ionic-framework

and angularjs

Shadow Wizard

It already got quite a few tags, maybe it's limited.

TheLittleNaruto

D:

Shadow Wizard

Yup, reproduced with too many tags.

Andrew T.

@TheLittleNaruto Not sure why you want to add those tags on Java/Android room though...

The tag should show the best relation to the chat room. Otherwise, you'd have to add 500+ tags.

TheLittleNaruto

7:35 AM

@AndrewT. IONIC is a cross-platform mobile framework, so somehow related to Android.

And angularjs is used in it. So...

Shadow Wizard

OK, the limit is 180 characters, including the spaces.

You can copy it to some text editor to count characters.

TheLittleNaruto

Ok fare enough! got it.. I can't add more tags..

Sob! Sob!

Still I feel like, the error, they're showing is wrong.

If there is a limit, it should simply show limit error.

Shadow Wizard

@TheLittleNaruto weird, currently it's 92 characters in your room

TheLittleNaruto

:O

Andrew T.

@ShadowWizard did you try with more than 8 tags?

Shadow Wizard

7:38 AM

So you should be able to add those two just fine... unless on SO the limit is 100.

(I checked here on MSE, different chat domain)

@AndrewT. it's not about amount of tags, but total length of the field.

TheLittleNaruto

Let's pray Mods for the resolution...

Shadow Wizard

Folks, any quick references on why bounties are not refunded if no answer comes up?

Re this comment

thank you! may I in addition ask if there is any reasoning behind this feature? I have currently got a bounty running and it doesn't seem like anyone is interested/able to answer it. That is of course fair enough, but I feel like I should at least get my reputation back :( The only reason I can see is that not getting it back would prevent me from starting another bounty on the same (possibly bad) question. But isn't that already taken into account by the fact that the bounties increase when set on the same question? (see second last bullet point above). — Numrok 20 mins ago

Q: bounty expired with no answers... wasted reputation?

I put a bounty on a question (here) which has gotten no answers. The bounty has since expired. I sort of expected to get my reputation back since nobody 'won' it. Is this really how the system works?

discussion support bounty

In short: that's how things work. You pay in advance, like cash. No refunds.

E.P.

@ShadowWizard Yeah, the OP seems to be asking for the rationale

particularly in the case of no answers at all

Shadow Wizard

> Placing a bounty puts your question on a kind of pedestal for a week. It is more visible, and has a bigger reward, to attract people. This is what you actually "pay" for. It's normal to not recover it after the time.

(top answer in that question)

user202362

I commented on the article, saying it's a dumb idea to kill some innocent horses, the editor rejected my comment. Stupid editor on some local newspaper site.

Achilles

In Greek mythology, Achilles (/əˈkɪliːz/; Ancient Greek: Ἀχιλλεύς, Akhilleus, pronounced [akʰilːéu̯s]) was a Greek hero of the Trojan War and the central character and greatest warrior of Homer's Iliad. His mother was the nymph Thetis, and his father, Peleus, was the king of the Myrmidons. Achilles’ most notable feat during the Trojan War was the slaying of the Trojan hero Hector outside the gates of Troy. Although the death of Achilles is not presented in the Iliad, other sources concur that he was killed near the end of the Trojan War by Paris, who shot him in the heel with an arrow. Later legends...

> Rage. Sing, O Muse, of the rage of Achilles, of Peleus’ son, murderous, man-killer, fated to die, sing of the rage that cost the Achaeans so many good men and sent so many vital, hearty souls down to the dreary House of Death.

@Derpy All I meant was that, on the internet, momentary winning is almost meaningless in the long run

Derpy

@Telkitty Agreed. And you momentary don't still realize your pony nature.

user202362

And if you are out of a game, you don't even have a chance to win

DroidDev

@Derpy now that's a trick question. Can go both ways ;P

Derpy

2:14 PM

@Telkitty next question would be... have you always at least a chance to win if you stay in the game?

Are winning and not losing the same or does a reality stand in the middle?

user202362

depends on how you define winning

Derpy

@Telkitty Then what would your definition be?

user202362

to achieve your goal

Derpy

Then you should always strive for you goal to stay clear and focus.

Finally, pro-tem mods on 3D printing: Pro Tem Moderator Announcement by 2D Printing Grace Note on meta.3dprinting.stackexchange.com

user315433

Interesting username, too.

> My ID demands that I have fewer dimensions than required to be printed on this site.

user202362

in a way, there really isn't any 2D printing - it's just that the depth is so small, it's negligible

tchrist

Letterpress has depth.

Shadow Wizard

Can a 3D printer print another 3D printer?

user202362

2:43 PM

even shallow things have depth ... literally 🙀

user202362

@ShadowWizard in theory, yes

user202362

but in theory, people should be able to travel through wormholes too

Shadow Wizard

stepping through a wormhole

Derpy

@Telkitty not in theory. There is a whole project aiming at creating a 3D printer capable of printing its own components

actually, multiple projects

Rory Alsop

@ShadowWizard some of the community 3D printer projects require the core rails to be bought (as they define the dimensions of the printer, and hold it rigid) and have all other parts available from other community members

Shadow Wizard

@Derpy well, you'll still have to feed it with raw materials, it's not like it will be able to make them out of the air. Though maybe one day...

Derpy

@ShadowWizard considering it needs the materials to build any item, not just printers... I am not sure it counts

user202362

3:15 PM

@Derpy I would not be surprised that there are multiple projects investigating how to travel through wormholes too

user202362

Unless it's commercially available, it's just probing the possibility.

Derpy

@Telkitty I will take this one as a claim that until space travel is end-user available, NASA is just probing the possibility to send someone on the moon :P

user202362

NASA wasn't?

user202362

so what was it doing?

Is Close Vote Reason Logic When There Isn't a Majority really a duplicate? I don't see it answered in the linked post.

Shog9

@Meta yeah; my estimate based on the number of people still reading inbox messages is that we'll get 1-3 off-topic questions a day; if we exceed that by much, back up it goes.

@SmokeDetector ignore- it has been reposted for few times and no action, so...

user315433

Strong language is a part of the site's culture... kind of hinted at in the currently featured post title, What we'd like to do about those gosh darn "identification requests" questions

@Meta deleted on revision 34 by Robert Harvey

@Meta I have a personal opinion for that site, but for that particular (ID request) issue, it's been the biggest problem on that site for years, so.. understandable...

Hm... Yes, branching out is a good idea... I'll try following Python questions on Computational Science, although there aren't many and usually someone more knowledgeable answers them.

A rush of unannounced moderator appointments in one day: jdero on Startups, Chuck on Robotics, fedorqui on Spanish, JohnP on Physical Fitness. In each case, nobody was removed, so the sites now have 4-5 pro tems.

user315433

I guess this is Grace Note coming back from (something), and dealing with a backlog of moderator issues.

The Return of Grace

user315433

@Meta - Thank you. They are still transitioning and doing other tasks, I expect an announcement for all the new moderators to be coming along from the CM team in due time. — JohnP ♦ 20 secs ago

user315433

Startups and Fitness had visible lapses in moderation, I don't know about the other two sites.

user315433

And JohnP sprang into action, closing OTC MASS BUILDERS i.e. Nitro/ mass fuel..

Q: why use co() in node js

A few months ago I started a new, typical 8-4 job. Since I started, my boss has called me at usually once a week outside work hours to ask me what I did at work today and what I'll be doing in the next coming days.
