What I usually see is that "Egoistic power hungry high rep users downvote everything in sight and close everything"

So yeah, it could be against the meritocratic system mostly

Although there are some delusional peeps who think SO is obliged to help them.

If that's the case then there's not really anything to argue against. It's a "agree to disagree" kind of thing then, imo...

Unitato

Agreed

They'll rant all day and night, nothing to worry about haha

I learnt much on SE, especially the "agree to disagree" thing. In fact, I was introduce to that phrase here....

And also "stand corrected"

Not sure I will see those phrases on other forums...

@HTTPS yeah it's used here from ancient times indeed.

we're going to have to agree to disagree.

@Magisch I think they are more close to this. With the added bonus of diversity discrimination thrown in somewhere along the road. And be vary, I have seen multiple cases of rude discriminating behavior that was handled with a "pat on the head" compared to what I would have done if I were the mod in those situation. Those same users wouldn't walk the chat now.

Bit related to what discussed before, Rebecca started with obscure name which doesn't reveal her gender, than at some point changed it, and finally used her full real name.

Derpy

@ShadowWizard yep, those are some other rooms here on SE. And knowing me, it should be pretty easy to discover which rooms they are

SE is meritocratic, executive monarchy, voluntarism (anarchy), and despotism

Magisch

@Derpy Are you talking about a trend or isolated incidents?

@Derpy Also, examples always help

"I have seen" can be dismissed with "well show me".

holy, one of the amateur teams have built a real sized hobby self driving car with a PC sitting on it, lol

Unitato

I just made a discovery. SO, MSE, and SE have three different chat users per account

If there's a pattern of letting people off the hook for serious infractions it'd be nice to bring up say on meta

@Unitato congrats, you just won a cookie :)

Derpy

@Magisch Oh, I totally know that. But please forgive me if now I do not intend to start a new discussion on issues I already fought on in the past. So, fell free to not believe me if you wish, I won't take any offense from that. To be fair, I fully understand if you wish to.

Unitato

My MSE chat account is Unitato, while my general SE account is Pritt Balagopal

noms the cookie

Jokes aside, is this intentional?

Magisch

@Derpy Idk, I know it's not your fight

You're not the person spewing forth insults on twitter either so not sure why I'm roping you into this

Unitato

I also noticed that regular SE chatrooms start with chat.stackexchange, while this one starts with chat.meta.stackexchange (which is misleading since this isn't chatting about chatting :P)

@Magisch I meant that I prefer to avoid posting references to what I still think was very poor handling of severe rude behavior from some users in the pasts, since it would only fuel further discussion about those specific incidents. Which I don't need. And nor does this chat room or the server.
