@MarkYisri Sometimes we get a bit behind. I see the message and I'll take a look at it now.

@Shadow Oh, lol. I assure you they definitely did not coin the word "gig".

"Ironic" by Alanis' definition, maybe.

I have this one specific memory of hearing that song in the car with my dad driving me up the entrance ramp to my grade school, and being very annoyed by it. I don't know what day it was, I remember nothing else about the trip, it's just this weird moment I've always inexplicably held on to.

@JasonC How ironic.

Fun fact: there is a UT2k4 deathmatch map called “Ironic”. I haven’t the slightest idea why. That game’s map names are, as far as I can tell, mostly just random words.

Unreal can suck my Quake balls.

Why can't Graves have a cigar

@JasonC Woah, I was like a single day too early to link Fuck You, It’s January 2017.

@JasonC oh well. But they look like a big company..... ;)

@Telkitty only if you're a FAT64 entrepreneur

Are survey questions on-topic for MSE, or should they be closed/migrated to MSO?

For me, it makes the most sense to move everything to MSO.

@ShadowWizard as I said, without direct help from SE, the only self-contained way to store the hat data I can think off is to embed the info in the avatar itself as exif, assuming that info isn't stripped down by imgur at some point. Since I can't really grab the current avatar image data in the first place in order to decorate it ... there is no reason to even check imgur behavior.

The only option I have now is a separate site/service hosted somewhere that consumes data from Stack Exchange. But to be honest, I don't know if it is worth the effort to search for an host.

^That user confused me for a second. Why would Martijn Pieters call himself Orion Edwards ...

And where did his diamond go?

:D

@Derpy well, balpha has his own unicornify hosting...

@Telkitty awww, did he hurt your troll feelings?

Of course, your innocence is beyond doubt ... serious face

trying to imagine @Bart with serious face

failing miserably

@balpha is the unicornify project still alive?

well it still runs (though I think it runs over the daily app engine quota pretty regularly)

I also ported it to Go: bitbucket.org/balpha/go-unicornify

@Bart heh, flag for avatar stealing... :)

so there's a commandline version as well that allows you to make higher-quality pics

@balpha hmm... Looks like @Derpy wants to make something similar, just with hats. Is it feasible?

Hattify... :-D

How would it work? Doesn't sound very similar to unicornify from a technical perspective

@ShadowWizard unicornify is an avatar service. It gives you an image to be used as an avatar. Even if Stack uses it, it uses it as a replacer for the avatar. Hattify should NOT replace the avatar - it should provide a second image that is placed above the avatar

@balpha basically just trying to emulate winterbash since some lazy guys at Stack Exchange still haven't turned badges into hats for full year use :P

Ugh, this project I'm working on uses some obscure JS templating library that doesn't even have a 1.0 release yet :(

Hi

Where can I find a moderator to help me?

What do you need help with?

if you check my recent reputations, I think that I am victimized of a serial down-vote to several of my question and answers, which actually were sane questions and answers. How can I fix it?

An automated system takes care of such things: FAQ: What can I do about getting a sudden flood of revenge downvotes?

I mean my reputation on stackoverflow

> The automatic serial vote script should pick this up, but if in the unlikely event it doesn't clear them all wait 24 hours and should any suspicious down-votes remain flag one of the posts for moderator attention using the "other" option and explain what happened.

Thank you! then I should wait and then flag one of them, if they weren't eliminated

Correct :)

Thanks, bye

Server Fault?

Oh, Server Fault

help plox

me am adult now

i haz too much emailz

how to life

plox

It's not that I have a backlog, it's just that I get like 20 emails per day now which is annoying.

Alternatively, use the filter that just deletes everything. Email problem solved

I'm using this little guy then.

/me am a power user

@zaq That's probably true. Anyway, I already edited the survey wiki.

Can a CM or chat mod on the chat.stackexchange.com server take a look to determine if a suspension is warranted?

Suspend first, check later

@rene Explain?

So things don't escalate if it is in that stage

This is my account we're talking about here, and I'm not sure if I should see myself as a sinner...

I'm not a mod but as an RO I never kick users that ask to be kicked.

It looks like I would need a lot of context before I understand why you end-up requesting this.

I assume you can find a chat mod in Charcoal

And otherwise summon Shog here by pinging him. IIRC it is not in the middle of the night in his timezone

@rene Improper counterflagging of offensive posts.

@bwDraco Use the "contact us" form. And, yeah, a lot more context would be beneficial.

In chat you mean, right? I'm reading the post and the transcript and your comments ... :(

I leave you in the good hands of Jon

I'm just on the fence. I kinda feel guilty, but I'm not really sure if one user's (strong) opinion that this particular behavior is inexcusable is enough to warrant a suspension.

DVK's statments don't seem to reflect community consensus...

@zaq, please.

I'll just drop the matter.

I'm not sure you quite grasp what "ignored" means

I'm aware.

My apologies for this. Back to regular discussion...

I'm not going to speed my demise get myself suspended simply because of an innocent mistake.

Also, I'm restoring this comment since I suspect you missed it:

@Shog9 I did see it.

IOW, don't harangue folks for flagging if they're actually offended by stuff.

the whole point of that post was that political discussion often offends people

Alright then. I cannot stand behind the answer because it is incorrect and will probably delete it.

perhaps learn something and revise it?

I've removed the answer while I rewrite it.

@bwDraco I might have to reconsider my vote then, let me know when you undelete it.

The answer has been restored.

@rene cc

@bwDraco thanks, I see no reason to change my vote.

OMG OMG WERE YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT ISSUES? I LOVE ISSUES!

My cat learned how to turn on the bathroom sink. She also realized that I always rub her down with the towel when her head is wet, which she loves. So now she turns it on, like, hourly, sticks her head in it then immediately comes running over to me. Super annoying to hear the bathroom sink running in the middle of the night. Human successfully trained. I am just now catching on to her little ploy.

Problem solved.

Didn't know Nick Craver had a sock puppet: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/289799/…

If you're happy and you know it clap your hands!

@JasonC :3

claps petals

us kittens are taking over the world

we control all humans

:3

@bjb Wow. I closed the bathroom door this morning and witnessed her just blatantly dip her head deep into her water bowl, shake it off, then run over to me and roll around on the floor. Wtf.

What is going on here.

Head wubs! You now have a monster!

It's because you fed her after midnight.

You might have a good question for pets.SE. The only Q I could ever come up with is "Who's a good boy?"

(It got deleted.)

Surprised?

inb4 "My owner threw a ball, but I can't seem to find it. Where could it be?"

I like girls in math, much less skary than those in classes like linguistics.

They talk about things I can understand.

Had there been a clean-up? Or do they have some active patrol in that tag?

@rene One person who's an active user who patrols the tag. Ran across their comments a lot when searching for questions with close votes that weren't closed/deleted.

@hichris123 ah, that is great.

I am hungry.
