Perhaps clarify if the explicit content rules also go for texts/drawings, since it's surrounded by rules for photo and video and iirc there were some issues with "lascivious content" + manga + chat in the past

Hey, is chat covered by the new CoC? I don't see anything about chat in there, while all other activities are explicitly named (and at least moderation works a bit different in chat). Excellent draft, though!

I didn't know we had self-driving motorcycles already!

Reiterating the same point again and again and again is not good for anyone, though. If your post truly adds something to the existing discussion, I think it's fine, but for now I'm 100% on-board with the recently deleted stuff

They messed pagination up good though, e.g. stackoverflow.blog/page/30 works but stackoverflow.blog/page/1000 doesn't since there's not that many pages, but they all show the same new blogs

It's WordPress, so it takes some work to disable search and pagination altogether

Do we have any idea who will be the new product manager? I was surprised to learn Megan Risdal left

There's a reason they didn't invest in changing the winter-bash theme though. It feels like an afterthought in the wake of all that's going on. Of course they want to just get everyone forgetting about what happened, so keeping stuff like this going as usual is a good move

We have What recourse do I have if I believe a moderator has abused their privileges as a FAQ here with that process

Why couldn't it be Sinterklaas every day?

The starred SmokeDetector message supports my theory. SmokeDetector knew all along...

That assumes a mod was doing the leaking. The top answer of the 10 -> 5 rep for questions was by Shog9. Suspicious

There are the rumored next changes based on the latest blog, guess we'll only have to wait for a new leak

this is the latest deleted question on MSO

We all know the view counter doesn't really work, though

I imagine one takes a product and hits it with ionizing radiation

You can call that censorship, I call that common sense

It's fair. MSE doesn't have to be a platform to raise support for actions against SE the company.

If they do this in preparation for an IPO, reaching tech press with this fiasco wasn't the best move in hindsight

@PaulWhite If it's about comments that can't be edited by non-mods, that sounds perfectly fine to me. I'd be surprised if a mod didn't mark that helpful and honor it with the current CoC

The weird thing is: It's the internet. I only know the gender of someone if they choose to tell me or make it abundantly clear in a name/profile picture. If someone picks an ambiguous name and profile picture, I'm bound to either not use pronouns at all or use the preferred pronouns if I know them. I can't assume gender and pronoun based on looks

Was about to answer the same. They have a language tag with the excerpt Questions on historical use of languages and their development. Be sure to check their help section first though.

But I can guess other countries might not have good cell service everywhere and still have them

In the Netherlands, I know the last phone booth got removed about 5 years ago

And it's not even winter bash yet

Imo tabling the topic as a whole is not bad either, since we all have a specific case in mind now. Perhaps revisit tomorrow if you're still interested?

Of course

I sure hope not, being a mod is stressful, venting on a different site shouldn't affect that imo

:( good meme opportunity lost, just looked up the those bastards lied to me one

Wut? In the election chat, we've had moderators saying they did delete them

The more you try to change a core belief held by someone, the nastier the discussion tends to get

Imo it's just the usual I don't like downvotes and don't want to be reasonable about it. Those get deleted by the dozen on MSO. The only weird thing here is that mods decided to get involved in the discussion instead of just removing it. I still think the whole mess should be removed from the election page, just not relevant

Oh, it took a vandalism turn and is locked now. Guess no harm done if it gets permanently removed

Where?!?! Grabs popcorn

You can just use !!/coffee if you want coffee anyway

@forest You can slap a comment under meta.stackexchange.com/a/324489 to ask if this is related and also a bug

Serving size, 56 grams

Perhaps a spam filter :)

@ShadowWizard Apparently, 180. spam.com/varieties/spam-classic

But let's not argue about it, that has been done enough

Yeah but I really think 95% of affected users will just want to use that coupon anyway and share their email with Amazon themselves. That leaves just a very small group that's truly affected

@Tinkeringbell I choose to believe that's not true

Only the secret fuss thing here ;)

The FAQ just says it's better not to

Afaik even then, a person can state their preferred pronoun, but if you're not addressing them, you can use the generic he if you want

@Tinkeringbell That sounds like a challenge! Unfortunately, I'm not a woman...

The stupid thing is that now the gap between SE and the community is now likely even larger, if they can't trust the mods to keep stuff private

Did they have a real suspect, though? I imagine it's not that hard to cover your tracks.

I guess this MSO question shares the topic of this room. Gets kind-of weird when you can't talk about what you're talking about

It did say the change would happen the 13th of November, so the mods have more than a week to give feedback, even if the post didn't ask for any.
