even moar code. Keep closed, I'd say
 
and made it less useful
should I be particularly concerned with disputed flags?
 
1:14 AM
Not really. Most of them come from review queues anyways
 
so it's not necessarily a good measure of the quality of my review choices
 
It doesn't contribute to flag ban warning either
 
I've had two today that have left me a bit bewildered
 
1:44 AM
@BradLarson what? WINTERBASH HATS?
 
No real need to migrate, I'd think
 
(will it roomba?)
 
@LearnHowToBeTransparent not closed
 
It needs to be closed for some reason.
 
@AlexanderO'Mara off-topic?
 
1:52 AM
Migrating to Meta might help them learn.
 
POB, perhaps
 
It's off-topic, it's a Meta question, just not a very good one.
 
@AlexanderO'Mara that kind of Q appear once a month

@Yam there's still no question
 
can i do something against revenge downvote that are done per day
 
@ColdFire be sure you have a case and modflag
 
[ EditMonitor ] Recovered from HTTPError while fetching review task: 503 Server Error: backend read error for url: stackoverflow.com/review/next-task/14671046
 
8:36 AM
but don't expect too much when the serial voting script doesn't kick in, as a SE dev needs to look into the votes, as even mods can't see who voted
 
@Adriaan i am having revenge downvote each day on one different question
 
@ColdFire the same question? Then they aren't revenge votes, as someone would need lots of 115 rep accounts.
Otherwise the rest applies
 
@Adriaan nope different question each day
 
@ColdFire then the rest of what I said applies
 
@Adriaan well if mods cant see then how they are going to decide its revenge downvote or not
 
@ColdFire as I said: they need SE devs to look into that, as they can see votes
 
@Adriaan ohk great
 
problem is that SE devs have better things to do than looking into votes, hence it takes a very long time
 
:(((

@SmokeDetector NAA ("k, thanks")
 
@Adriaan You are not a privileged user. Please see the privileges wiki page for information on what privileges are and what is expected of privileged users.
 
@Adriaan rekt :o
 
@Seth I know I'm not privileged, I don't want to be, but Smokey keeps nagging me about it for some reason
 
@Adriaan =D
 
@Adriaan perhaps if you stopped talking to her
 
@SmokeDetector I don't understand why a comment encouraging to adding thanks comments got so much upvoted when it would be actually too chatty comment and should be removed.
 
8:59 AM
thanks is always too chatty

Unclear receive a sms from a dongle using java - nirmalagoon‎ - 2016-12-22 08:55:18Z
@xenteros there's no need to heap flags. One will do.
 
9:07 AM
is this username ok Stackoverflow is NAZI or better to flag..
 
I suspect the flag would be considered helpful.
 
@JanDvorak "suspect"
ô.ô
 
The worst that can happen is one week's worth of a nasty warning

9:11 AM
@bummi ...?
 
@bummi I don't think they meant that...
 
:34738382 The question was wether or not the user with the name "Stackoverflow is NAZI" should be flagged for moderator attention.
=P
 
Sorry didn't see you where talking about a 3 parts name
 
Np c:
 
Whose idea was it to use italics for emphasis anyways?
 
9:13 AM
Not sure.
Maybe the creator of comic sans thought that'd be a good way of tormenting people even more?
 
@JanDvorak TIL?
Do you want to write the BR? :)
 
@Seth BR?
 
Feel free to
 
@Tushar Burnination request
 
9:16 AM
ohk
 
@Tushar Bhargav Rao ;)
 
Aaand my MSE rep is higher then my SO rep once again. Meh...
 
@bummi sorry did not see message, but I guess it's solved?
 
@PetterFriberg Misunderstanding :D
He thought you were asking about a different name. The emphasis by using italics is rather easy to be overlooked :P
 
Yeah my english often is unclear : )
 
9:20 AM
Today I learned Petter Friberg is who invented Comic Sans
 
@JanDvorak seemed bad to use bold... maybe just quote's next time...
 
Typo or Cannot Reproduce mirage ember attributes are undefined - Walter White‎ - 2016-12-21 12:43:23Z

morning o/
 
9:21 AM
@Seth yeah, happens to me all the time ...
 
@PatsyIssa Hiya \o
@rene =D
@rene Opinions on the -tag?
 
@JanDvorak yeah flagged approved, post deleted and user named removed... however I think mostly because of also rude comments...
 
@Seth sure, looks fine to me. What is wrong with it?
They all seem to relate to sql stuff, looking at the related tags
except the 89 php ones but that is because askers in the php tag are lost by definition
3
They tag their question with whatever pops-up
Maybe we can change the php-wiki to suggest that they should also tag php with the c++ tag and then let the Lounge deal with it ...

Agreed >:-)
 
agreed

> Broad , what the hell? don't have time to read your "How to Ask" you read it. I came here for answer of my question
lol
 
lol
 
@PetterFriberg link?
 
naa, you will kill that user, only @DalijaPrasnikar know where it is...
 
@PetterFriberg Found it :o
 
kill thz user
 
9:54 AM
yeah getting a bit rude...
 
> Stupid moderator's kept question on on hold. Idiot's .
LOL
 
Too many apostrophes
 
@Seth link it
 
That's enough
 
that ^
@ColdFire no, let's not do that ...
 
9:57 AM
that ^
@rene yeah yeah i am just kidding
 
For the casual visitor of our transcript that isn't very clear ...
 
i see
 
@ColdFire Could maybe be seen as moderating users/starting a witch hunt/piling. Don't want that to happen.
 
@Seth ok ok i see
man its so confusing with all those hats
 
10:06 AM
Where did the non-spam part of the answer come from?
 
@PetterFriberg This is exactly why I stopped adding comments to questions... I tried to be nice according to the hat season, but... it is not working... I can only laugh and move on...
 
I can't even laugh

@SmokeDetector tpu-
 
@MaňishYadav < and > are not required. You may want to install this Script
 
@Tushar how to install?
 
@JanDvorak Laughing keeps my sanity ;-)
 
@MaňishYadav Install greasemonkey or tampermonkey, then visit the raw URL
 
@JanDvorak cool
 
10:16 AM
Install TamperMonkey first and then open Raw code from above link and install
 
OP trying to parse XML with a JSON parser isn't a close reason, it's the answer. — Madara Uchiha ♦ 14 secs ago
 
@MadaraUchiha Doesn't that count as "typo"?
 
Not Repro.
 
@JanDvorak No, it's a logic problem
 
@Tushar installed greasemonkey as u replied late ;)
 
10:17 AM
Forgetting a ; or mistyping a function name is a typo
 
@MadaraUchiha not useful for others
 
@JanDvorak Not necessarily.
If he got to that error, I'm sure others will, however few.
 
the close reason named "typo" covers both literal and figurative typos
 
Just because the answer is so glaringly obvious (to us) that we think the question shouldn't have been asked, doesn't mean it is so.
 
@MadaraUchiha same argument can be applied to literal typos - and for literal typos, googling the exact error message will reveal the typo
 
10:19 AM
@JanDvorak Not really
 
Literal typos are on the first layer of complexity...^^
 
Whilst mistakes like this one are a few layers below.
Wouldn't close that as a typo.
It's a very simple question, a very simple answer, and that's that. :P
 
So, how many people do you think will find this answer and say, "oh, wait, my data's XML, so that's why I can't parse it with a JSON parser"?
 
A lot.
I am currently doing an apprenticeship, and I visit school once a week.
 
10:21 AM
Versus how many people find it, cast a downvote as "yet another stupid question masquerading as my problem" and return to google
 
And everyone there messes up a lot.
 
Stack Overflow cannot supplement a human brain
 
@JanDvorak Those people should potentially learn to utilize the search function better in that case =P
As I really don't see a way for "Value <?xml of type java.lang.String cannot be converted to JSONObject" to be seen as something different than it is.
 
@Seth How do you tell Google "yeah, the title is the same as my search query, but I still don't want to see that"?
 
@JanDvorak The amount of people who were given an API and a class and have no idea why it doesn't work.
 
@JanDvorak You don't google for it. =|
 
@MadaraUchiha Is a bad teacher to blame here?
 
@JanDvorak Of course
Or rather, a bad instructor, in the case of internship
 
If so, are we really supposed to clean up after bad teachers?
 
But we still strive to be a good resource for those people
@JanDvorak Of course
The goal is for people to find solutions to their problems
Regardless of who's fault it is that they have those problems to begin with
