@tripleee As far as I understood, @Vincent would do it if he found the time, but he wasn't opposed to you doing it if you wanted. Personally, I'm not opposed, so go ahead I guess

@PieBie go ahead and post, or go ahead and activate the notices?

let's start with the meta post first ;)

angussidney

@tripleee post, please, @DᴀʀᴛʜVᴀᴅᴇʀ was very explicit in saying that we should go to Meta first

ok, I'll see about that sometime today or tomorrow

thanks for following up!

@tripleee I was going to make a meta post lastnight but after the drama yesterday I thought I'd let it lie...

it's probably better coming from one of you guys, and probably a good idea to try and diffuse all this perceived hostility...

@Cai absolutely, will do

9:05 AM

@tripleee I agree with @Cai here. Moreover, I'm hardly neutral on the drama part of this dispute and I wouldn't want to misrepresent your stance.

@Vincent there's hardly a stance really, or any drama, the TL;DR is I'd like to improve spam visibility by enabling notices in the dedicated room, but I'll explain why as well of course

or maybe "increase" is better than "improve" depending on how you look at it, the end goal of course being to make spam less intrusive but still visible if you want to see what's coming in and what's being done about it

@tripleee Your stance of there not being any is already one. Please make your post and let's see what comes from that.

@Vincent yeah, in the works, only I have to attend some work meetings and do some actual work as well (-:

I know that feeling :) Thanks for the effort!

thank you, I'll let you guys know when it's up of course

9:10 AM

thumbs up

If you post on meta.GDSE, we will get notified automatically.

@Vincent oh good

I would like to invite active GD users to help combat spam on this site. Towards that end, I have created a dedicated chat room called The Spam Blot where I have been posting links to recent spam. My concrete question for you here and now is Can we enable automated Smoke Detector reports in th...

11:32 AM

@tripleee @Cai thanks for the tag (-:

No worries, I'm in the process of writing an answer

11:50 AM

@Cai thanks, appreciated -- abstaining from upvoting but I completely agree with it

@tripleee of course, I appreciate that

you have two upvotes already although I suppose those could be from Charcoal too /-:

I'm planning to accept your answer but I'll wait at least until tomorrow to see what the reception is here

why dont i get notification when i get score points?

Yeh hold off on accepting an answer, a lot of users won't be around till later anyway so give it some time

M.A.R.

@joojaa You mean you earned rep but there was no notifications?

12:02 PM

yes

i now earned +30 on gd but it does not show up on my recent achievements box

M.A.R.

@joojaa Yeah, there is some stuff broken

So its nit just me

@joojaa no, me too. There's a couple bug reports on MSE

@joojaa if you have left the menu open in a browser instance somewhere, that would stop notifications everywhere, at least it used to be

@tripleee yes but i do get message notifications

M.A.R.

12:08 PM

@tripleee I have "Desktop notifications for SE" and it doesn't do that even the menu is open

We are aware of things being broken - the process that syncs reputation (and other things) across the network is backed up. We are working on fixing it. — Oded ♦ 1 hour ago

@joojaa mine havn't o_O

1:20 PM

i dont like the inferred tone of this question: graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/87732/…

lol it sounds really mean spirited and makes little sense?

@tripleee: thanks for setting up the Meta Q, it's really well written. Hopefully we'll accrue some significant feedback from the community.

@johnp to me it makes perfect sense. It's just that it seems like he's just looking for someone to say 'yes, sue them!'

well it's unclear whether it's their font that's being used without a license or whether they just spotted some designer without a license

@johnp yes, but that shouldn't really matter for the answer...

i didnt downvote btw :3

hah, lol, the one who did didn't get the point of the answer :p

1:28 PM

i guess i was just iffy about it as it reminded me of those logo shaming sites? You know when designers go out of their way to find logos that are similar?

not that i condone plagiarism or something! but often it's just coincidental, and inevitable

the OP clarified that it's their font so it makes sense

1:56 PM

@johnp yeah, it's much clearer now

@DᴀʀᴛʜVᴀᴅᴇʀ It's burning time :D

also @johnp see how you like this youtu.be/IugwlfXXIgo more pop-y than your stuff but similar style

7:32 PM

Hey @ZachSaucier it's not bad :) I like when the housey sample kicks in

7:57 PM

try this then youtube.com/watch?v=fzQ6gRAEoy0

an artist called SUPERSEX420....welcome to 2017 xD youtube.com/…

I've listened to that whole playlist (except part of the mixes) already :P

you might also like more electro funk youtube.com/watch?v=vhDchaxID_8

oh 🙈 there was a lot of cheese on that playlist. I guess it's more future funk than vaporwave. like that genre that lasted about 2 years in the 90s

8:11 PM

the madeon track was nice, the video had all of the feels lol

yeah the mixes are long. Think squad goals is good and crystal tokyo is nice to relax to. the comments are interesting for that one...talking about vaporwave and the Japanese economic bust
