Okay... now I just see "[username] is a new contributor" on the answer box, and it's, honestly... distracting :(

and I now can see and agree the confusion for linking to CoC :/

@Somewhat you should feed this back on meta

@Dukeling you should feedback these things on the specific meta posts ;p

If you're unhappy about changes - let folks know why politely. Shutting up does no good.

@Catija A few minutes after I posted that message, someone else made another "Looks OK" review, which dismissed the flag.

Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog

@rene Too bad, I already reviewed it as "Leave Closed" before it was edited again. Oh, well, cast a reopen vote externally.

rene

yeah, it is a new contributor, I think that warrants my edit and re-open attempt. ..

Journeyman Geek

5:14 AM

@rene the "biblical" bit still confounds me a bit

rene

yes, I agree.

Catija

@JourneymanGeek The biblical law is sort of irrelevant... a bit of a red herring... whether it's morally wrong by the bible doesn't impact the final answer of whether it's illegal by English law.

If it's illegal by English law (which I don't think it is), it could be causally related to the biblical laws but it doesn't matter. Governments more and more aren't bound by religious texts.

Journeyman Geek

Edited further, then added my reopen vote

rene

Let's all agree on general confusion and move on ...

Journeyman Geek

Kinda split up the biblical and legal contexts of the question, and dumped the original wording totally. Hopefully it matches OP's intent but I was too lazy to use aibobot for a suggested edit.

Did something change on MSE or is it just my monitor? I can barely distinguish posts which have been deleted. The "red" color is very close to the white

Tinkeringbell

@Bart Is it just MSE?

Bart

lemme check

Nah, it's just this #f4eaea which is very close to white for me. Same deal on SO.

Tinkeringbell

@Bart I would blame your monitor. It's just the usual red to me.

Bart

Guess so. Just get confused whenever you guys ask me to delete something. :D

Shadow Wizard

8:55 AM

@Derpy what... is this?

@Tinkeringbell nope, I also notice a change, they made the red lighter. /cc @Bart

Might be A/B testing...

Maybe they think that when a new user will see their own deleted post, having it less red will cause less grief.

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowWizard Is it on the new themed sites then? I'm going to take another look. IPS still looks red to me, as does the color code Bart sent

Shadow Wizard

@Tinkeringbell dunno, checked MSE only. No rep on themed sites.

John Dvorak

If it's just bull-sight problem, make it grey rather than red

Shadow Wizard

It's not red a bit, it's light pink now.

Tinkeringbell

That's the color google gives me for the code Bart sent

Shadow Wizard

9:01 AM

Yup

Tinkeringbell

And that's the difference between white and red on IPS. It's not lighter?

Shadow Wizard

@JohnDvorak or blue with flowers floating over it.

So that the new users will feel happier.

@Tinkeringbell appears to be the same.

Very hard to distinguish.

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowWizard Yeah, but it's the usual color?

Shadow Wizard

@Tinkeringbell not sure now.... maybe it just appears different because @Bart said. ;)

@ShadowWizard that's only until they learn the flowers refer to Rene.

@JohnDvorak who is Rene?

I know only @rene... ;)

At least @rene is cool about it, unlike balpha who gets mad whenever being called Balpha.... :D

Sep 13 '17 at 18:43, by balpha

Now, people uppercasing the "b", I'll never get used to.

hehe

> In real life, I'm commonly known as Ben; online, I usually go by the handle of balpha. This goes back to a story from school, where a teacher enumerated the three Benjamins in class using greek letters. I was the first (naturally), hence “Ben alpha”.

So @balpha are you still in touch with Ben Beta and Ben Gamma? ;)

Derpy

@ShadowWizard experiments.withgoogle.com/cartoonify

not so good compared to other samples

balpha

@ShadowWizard nope :)

Derpy

anyway, on an unrelated note, Akinator doesn't know about Skeet

maybe I should try with shog

Shadow Wizard

@balpha oh... too bad... could be really cool. "Ben Club" could also be a thing. :D

I was part of Facebook group dedicated only for people called "Yahav" in their real life, but the group didn't really have any activity. :/

There was some non-Israeli woman who somehow found me and added me, lol

And now you're married?

Shadow Wizard

9:24 AM

@Derpy not so good, period.

I mean... @rene being a cat... lol

Guess that project won't really launch any time soon.

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowWizard It matches? Both are illegible :P

Shadow Wizard

@Bart yes, but not to that woman. ;)

Derpy

@ShadowWizard plot twist: @rene has secretly been @bjb all along.

@JohnDvorak :( I'm not worthy of cartoonification either :(

Shadow Wizard

lol

Tinkeringbell

I don't think I want to know what's going on there...

Shadow Wizard

@Tinkeringbell hey that's rather nice!

At least it detected you're a bird!

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowWizard I thought that was an airplane (tail on the right :P )

Shadow Wizard

9:30 AM

@Tinkeringbell nah it's a bird as kids draw it

John Dvorak

Hey, that's pretty accurate

Derpy

the deep dream generator is on a whole different level.

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowWizard but why is it facing the wrong way?

Bart

Got a white square too

Shadow Wizard

@Derpy better level? Well, looks like that deep dream generator is both more mature, and has whole team working on it, while that cartoonification project is done by a single person.

@Tinkeringbell I think it doesn't really draw anything, just taking existing images and scramble them together.

Derpy

9:33 AM

@ShadowWizard well, google deep dream made this one.

John Dvorak

From a cartoon? Nice

Shadow Wizard

@Derpy yeah looks very nice!

John Dvorak

Deep Dream could actually provide great results when asked to colorize cartoons

Derpy

@JohnDvorak nope, it was the deep style feature

original photo:

John Dvorak

oh?

Derpy

9:35 AM

I applied this as a style to copy:

the cat was turned in a sumi-e style painting

John Dvorak

I thought Deep Dream could only highlight pareidolia opportunities

Derpy

nope, they added some more features "recently"

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowWizard Oh right. That's what that quickdraw dataset is about :P

Shadow Wizard

Probably...

Bart

I really have to get into all this deep learning and machine learning stuff at some point. If you look at how many conference papers were about that at a recent graphics conference. It's insane.

Tinkeringbell

9:38 AM

@Bart Just get a machine to learn it for you :)

Bit concerning when the second reaction to an announced UI change is people figuring out how they can undo it

Tinkeringbell

@Magisch What's the first? Just the general 'We hate it?'

Magisch

aye

Tinkeringbell

I dunno... I see a lot of 'I don't want to be labelled a new user, I've been here longer than today'... which is why I think the thing focuses on contributions, not users? I kinda like the visual on the actual question/answer, instead of in the first posts queue, so far...

Somewhat

1:04 PM

While I can kind of appreciate what SE is trying to do, the indicator seems... wasting vertical space :/

And that's why I posted this earlier...

Tinkeringbell

@Somewhat Put it next to the username? :P Facebook does that, and then you only find out why some people wave at you and some don't by hovering over the icon ;)

Shadow Wizard

1:19 PM

@Tinkeringbell yeah there are quite a few users who are years in Stack Exchange and labelled now "NEW" in MSE when they posted on the announcement of the NEW indicator, which is weird.

Journeyman Geek

New to MSE?

Shadow Wizard

Well... yes, but still... they also have MSE profile for years. Just didn't post before.

aka stalkers.

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowWizard Well, I guess that's what the whole thing is about? Having a way to see first posts outside the first posts queue?

So "new" is... well... not really accurate.

waiting for "male/female user indicator"

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowWizard Yeah okay. But still... 1 post, 11 votes casts, no edits... Meets my definition of a 'new contributor'

Somewhat

1:25 PM

waiting for "under 13/16 user indicator"

Shadow Wizard

lol

@Tinkeringbell well the major issue is that SE shouldn't focus on those things. Same as it shouldn't focus on gender, color, profession, race, etc.

SE should focus on content. Period.

And now they are not.

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowWizard Hmmm... what would be the use of that? :P New contributor says to me 'oh hey, new! Hi! Welcome, here's how we do stuff, please stick around!'... Female says to me 'careful, may be on a period and grumpy'? :P

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizard the problem is that, well, a lot of people seem to think SE should

Somewhat

actually, waiting for "SE mobile app user indicator"

Journeyman Geek

@Tinkeringbell now now. Men can be grumpy too. And we have no excuse ;p

Tinkeringbell

1:27 PM

@ShadowWizard So the indicator should be on the content, not the one posting the content?

Somewhat

because those users need more guidance than browser user

Tinkeringbell

I can live with that.

Shadow Wizard

@Tinkeringbell something like that... :D

Tinkeringbell

@Somewhat Just do the 'posted from my iphone' underneath a post :P

Journeyman Geek

@Tinkeringbell in a sense I think our new user ~~indoctrination~~ induction should be focused more on content than people...

I love stuff like the new user wizard for example

well I will when its a thing ;p

Tinkeringbell

1:29 PM

@JourneymanGeek Sure. But I don't mind pointing out that content may be the first time someone actually put content on there, and actively reminding people not to be grumpy? I think once everyone is used to the icon, no one is going to notice and things will be back to normal soon :P

Journeyman Geek

@Tinkeringbell Maybe

Shadow Wizard

@Somewhat meta.stackexchange.com/questions/227032/…

@Tinkeringbell no indicator.. at least not one which isn't related to content.

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizard it will be moot soon

the app is slowly mouldering like last year's cheese

Shadow Wizard

you mean cheese from 6-8 years ago, yeah...

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowWizard So? A 'first contribution' indicator on the content (not the queue)... is related to the content in my mind...

Journeyman Geek

1:33 PM

@Tinkeringbell I guess my big arguement against it is there's two or three mechanisms that do the same thing

First post reviews, and reputation counts

Somewhat

That's... a "First Post" queue, when even their second/third/etc. post could go there if the previous is deleted....

Tinkeringbell

@JourneymanGeek Apparently, they haven't been sufficient?

Journeyman Geek

@Tinkeringbell why might be a good question to ask. Review queues have been one of those things that's been a constant work in progress

Somewhat

I could agree "First Post" and "Late Answer" queues aren't really sufficient because they only need 1 reviewer to get them off from the queue...

Tinkeringbell

@Somewhat That's kinda what I like about the whole indicator (whether on the post or user)... it gives EVERYONE a reminder, not just the one in the first posts queue. And it's way more visible (annoyingly? :P ) than rep or badges or even edits/votes

Somewhat

1:38 PM

I'm actually okay with it (most traditional forums do that, I believe, with "predefined title" based on posts count)... only the cosmetic part.

Dukeling

Tinkeringbell

2:24 PM

@JohnDvorak Ehhh... but that was always the case? I mean, you could see the age of the post, the votes, and the 1 rep :P

I often realize people are suspended after first wondering for 30 minutes how they managed to lose the rep from an upvoted post :P

it is nice to see how the square-enix store faqs lacks the most important information about preorders.

Don't pre-order games ... ever. Stop that

Derpy

Dear collaborator, we thank your for your suggestion. It has been forwarded to the document shredder as per office policies.

Regards,
Ponyville mail department

but you know, jokes asides, again with the no-preorder thing? I though I left that on Arqade - and its chatroom, which I avoid on purpose - alongside with the "pc master race" comments

Bart

Haha, I primarily game on PC, but developed for mostly mobile VR and would have loved to develop for Switch. So that's not something I care about. Game on whatever you like

Derpy

3:29 PM

so, just for fun, what would be the no-preorder reasons this time?

because, you know, someone once tried to tell me that I shouldn't have preorder Project Diva: Future Tone DX because the game could have been bad and I couldn't have know at the time....

Kevin B

i mean...

that's true of non-prerelease/preorder games too.

Bart

You're free to do whatever you want. If there's a good discount and you really want the title, go ahead. It just irks me that there is hardly a physical need any more for preorders. It's a mere AAA quick cash grab in an attempt to please shareholders. Anyway, some stuff there that annoys me, some of it I can't talk about. But do whatever you want. Don't listen to the grumpy guy behind the glasses.

Derpy

Sorry, I guess that I should have explained it a little more.
The funny part about that is that Project Diva is a game that originally released only digitally.

about... TWO years later they had a physical release just for "fans". Very limited quantity.

so basically:

a) it is a rhythm game,
b) that I already tried
c) that has about **300** songs.

Vocaloid songs I should add, and since I do listen to those... you would probably understand that any "wait to see the game" rant didn't really make any sense in that context.

The game was out and reviewable BEFORE the preorder.

Félix Gagnon-Grenier

so it was... an order.

Derpy

Basically... same thing as the Undertale collector edition thing.

@FélixGagnon-Grenier it was a preorder because I had the order placed before the physical edition was released. But I was fully aware that its content was the same as the digital version + some bonuses.

As I said, same as Undertale.

I knew the game, and I knew I was going to get an additional heart locket replica

Kevin B

3:49 PM

I don't preorder simply because i can get the game 40-50% off after 6 months anyway. why rush to get it immediately, it'll still be there in 6 months, or it won't and it wasn't worth buying anyway.

Journeyman Geek

@KevinB that's typically what I do ;p

also if I liked a game I rarely buy the sequel immediately

rene

Is there any other reasonable guidance we can offer this user to make them post questions that are on-topic and useful on MSE.

I now more feel like a dispatcher

Somewhat

uhh... outside of Q-banning him on MSE?

Journeyman Geek

@rene I think the current approach of closing those questions as needed unless adviced otherwise by TPTB seems prudent?

Shog9

I always delete blatantly off-topic questions on meta

there's very little to be gained by leaving them visible

rene

@Shog9 Agree on that but I saw Tim answering a question from that same OP so I assumed that set some benchmark which I tried to reach. I'm not questioning your deletion, I'm wondering if my comment was helpful / inline with what is expected when we encounter a new contributor. If you assume I'm over confident of myself, then that assumption is wrong.

Shog9

I either didn't read or don't remember your comment

I expect that the question Tim answered was actually on-topic for MSE
