Tavern on the Meta

MY GOD, IT'S FULL OF STARS AND BACKLOG! General friendly chit-...

@ShadowWizard It is odd, being summoned by a shadow
Jul 19, 2017 16:21
Don't get me wrong, I really, really appreciate your support, and will definitely be running again in the future
Jul 19, 2017 16:21
I'm willing to deal with critics, I've had them in all three of my previous runs as well. I just personally feel that I've been largely inactive for too long, and may not be the best fit at this point
Jul 19, 2017 16:20
My score was 39 in 2015 too, which is kind of my issue here. Even without active participation, I'm a strong candidate score-wise. Which is also why I feel I should withdraw, spend time being active, and run again in the next election
Jul 19, 2017 16:17
39, iirc
Jul 19, 2017 16:16
Fully agree, I'm not arguing with the stats presented in the meta comments. Fully admit that my numbers are low, lower than most 20k+ active users would have in all probability
Jul 19, 2017 16:14
Sure. I don't doubt that I would still get votes if I stayed in, but I do feel that there are more than 2 other candidates who are currently more in-tune with the Stack Overflow community and more active than I am. I feel they would be a better fit at the moment
Jul 19, 2017 16:11
Indeed. Reflecting on the other elections I've stood for, I definitely agree with those who criticised me this time. When I ran previously, I was far more active across the board. Definitely need to get back to a high level of participation if I want to do the moderator position justice in the event of being elected.
Jul 19, 2017 16:08
Whoops, I'll fix that bit
Jul 19, 2017 16:06
> Based on the discussions in the comment, I have decided to withdraw from the election this year.

While I do feel that I would be a good moderator for Stack Overflow, I have realized that I have not been a major part of the community in recent times. Looking at the facts as they stand, I felt that I would not reliably vote for myself as an unbiased voter.

I will instead be taking some time to participate more actively, both in terms of content and reviews.

I want to thank all those who pointed out my shortcomings, as well as those who supported me for this run.

On the subject Alex mentioned, I was wondering if it made sense to edit my Questionnaire post to a withdrawal statement for the next 24 hours and then delete it, or just delete it outright

Thanks for all the tips, cya all around!
Apr 28, 2017 13:53
Guess that's that, then
Apr 28, 2017 13:51
We had a script ages ago that could tell, guess that was before this was fixed
Apr 28, 2017 13:51
Ahh, makes sense
Apr 28, 2017 13:49
In any case, appreciate the replies!
Apr 28, 2017 13:49
Thought mods could
Apr 28, 2017 13:49
Ahh damn. Room owners already unstarred them all, but we can't see who did the starring
Apr 28, 2017 13:48
They went and starred like every single message they could find
Apr 28, 2017 13:47
We just had a Starocalypse in the Android room on chat.SO, were wondering if a mod could look into who did it
Apr 28, 2017 13:47
Oh well, perhaps another time
Apr 28, 2017 13:44
Any mods around?

Next thing I'll have people telling me the world is logical and deterministic

I'm beginning to lose my faith in my magical powers

Yet, just 9 minutes shy of an hour from gaining 20 rep, my test user still has no chat access
Jan 31, 2017 15:24
And praying to the Cache Overlords
Jan 31, 2017 15:24
I've also tried sacrificing a goat
Jan 31, 2017 15:23
Didn't work :/
Jan 31, 2017 15:23
I don't suppose anyone here wields enough power to force a cache update of a chat user?

Quite a few sites have a "Get a consent form and we're good" system
Mar 2, 2014 15:41
I've had plenty of accounts deleted for being <13, but there is some provision like that
Mar 2, 2014 15:38
But I forgot the details to that :/

Q: Allow flagging from within "New Answers to Questions More Than 30 Days Old"

Raghav SoodI frequently use the New Answers to Questions More Than 30 Days Old tools to find spam/NAA answers. A lot of them are often very obviously spam such as this, or very obviously not an answer, such as this.
