Alexandru CimpanuI have just saw the movie and I have some doubts about the tellers identity. In the first part of the movie it made me suspect that he is Liesel's brother (I think there was a line were he mentions he was alive once) When Max came into picture I gained the impression that the teller is his fat...

Q: A kids show about a boy who turns into a girl?

LynnThere was this show I used to watch occasionally as a kid, where the main character was a boy (forgot his name), and every time someone would scratch his elbow, he would turn into a girl. And this transformation would take place any time his elbow is hurt. Does anybody know the name of that show?

Q: What gave Caincross away in the Imitation Game?

@Flyk Chugging along. For the last few months, I've been the only active mod. As a result, I'm more conscientious about looking in on it, and I've been seriously racking up the mod stats.
Still a very long way from graduation though, as our highest rep user is only 7k.

Q: What to do with the [technology] tag

Napoleon Wilsontechnology needs something to happen with it. It was suggested that we merge the tag into props after editing out all the unrelated non-props stuff based on an initial glance through technology. Props are things used in movies. Stuff like cars, and cell phones, and computers. However, that wasn'...

 
@MetaReel @Flyk @Catija I hope that calms down the matter and results in a constructive tag discussion!
 
@NapoleonWilson there was no need for that roll back
especially since you're unwilling to delete the question
stop changing my posts
and then subsequently stealing my effort to make your own posts
 
@Flyk How about you stop changing your posts. He's doing what you should have done in the first place... and what you were told to do.
 
@Catija they're my posts. Additional, my edit last night didn't change teh meaning of the post
even though it's your misunderstanding that warped the meaning in the first place
 
I didn't misunderstand anything. You asked a question and I answered. I spent the first half of my answer addressing the "props" issue and the second half making recommendations for how the questions currently tagged as technology should be tagged.
If you stopped reading, that's not my problem.
 
3:19 PM
I can't believe that one of the moderators on this site just stole my meta post and posted it as his own without any attribution at all
@Catija I'm not sure if you've noticed or not, but I've been around longer than both of you, I know how the site works. My initial edit was perfectly acceptable and you missed the point, so I clarified further. Sure enough in that edit I removed the word "props" and that invalidated your answer - my subsequent edit doesn't change the meaning of the post at all and thus further edits against it and subsequent theft of my time and research to make his own post is unacceptable behaviour
@Donald.McLean hows the authoring coming on?

Q: Does anyone know how this movie is called?

Ionut Dorua father leaves his daughter to an aunt and go and tell her to return, but does not return . After several years her aunt forcing girl to marry her cousin who had taken care of before. After this move to another city where the girl falls in love with an old friend of her cousin with whom he kills...

 
@NapoleonWilson are you kidding me?
There is no need to edit my original post - it includes nearly all of the text from my original post
No meaning was changed
Now you're just doing this to spite me
 
@Flyk It doesn't really matter how long you've been here. We're all users and we're all equal.

@Catija Apparently not, since I don't have the right to edit my own posts to add further detail
 
You didn't add further detail. You completely changed the question.
 
3:32 PM
@Catija The question in its current form isn't "completely changed"
it includes nearly all of the original text
It still states "let's merge into props"
 
When you did it the second time, you should have made that an answer instead of changing the question. If you've been here so long, you should know that answering your own question is perfectly acceptable.
 
which keeps your answer valid
@Catija I wasn't answering my own question
 
@Flyk I have now added attribution to my question (and it's CW). Sorry for forgetting that.
 
My original question was "I'm just going to post this before I head out"
 
Yes, you were... you were making recommendations for what should be done to the posts... clearly, that's an answer.
 
3:33 PM
@Flyk I am not doing this to spite you, really, please believe me.
I rather think you are acting very much in spite here.
 
hell broke loose, I clarified my question, more hell broke loose, I updated it so it fell within your guidelines with all of my additional research
 
Saying that hell broke loose is a bit hyperbolic.
 
@NapoleonWilson hardly, I'm uninterested in even being here, but out of principle this entire situation is annoying the crap out of me
@Catija take a look around
clarifying a question is perfectly acceptable behavior
making your answer not relevant was probably not the best idea, but the current edit doesn't make your answer irrelevant
 
I'm sorry, no one else seems willing to say this but, please, if you want to leave so badly... do so. You're welcome to do what you want and if you keep acting like a five year old every time you don't get everything you want on exactly the timeline that you want, I'd rather you did leave.
 
Really, it was not a very good situation to start with. You asked a question primarily about merging technology into props and got an answer concentrating on this. Then changed your question completely making the answers obsolete. Maybe it was unfortunate it was answerd so fast before you could ask what you really wanted to ask...
 
3:35 PM
the current post says "let's merge into props"
and your post says "no! you don't understand props!"
and that's fine
I am sorry that I didn't have more than 10 minutes available when I asked the original question
I'm also sorry you only focused on props
 
@MovieReel This thing has like a bazillion adaptations, so really depends on the year & medium.
 
...Maybe it was unfortunate to grant you your deletion wish. But I just had to make a judgment call here in order to hopefully please every one and the community, which can only profit from a fruitful tagging discussion...
 
Thirdly, I'm sorry for voting for the mods we currently have
 
Sorry, I'll get out of yer hair
 
If you don't have ten minutes, then wait until you have more time and don't do it in a half-assed manner.
I didn't only focus on props... have you actually read the entire answer ever?
 
3:37 PM
@Catija yeah, you spouted some crap about more meta tags, demonstrating you don't understand what a meta tag is or how the entire stack exchange network doesn't like meta tags
 
...Neither do I want to annoy you, nor do I want to shut you up, nor do I want to suppress the fruitful tagging discussion. I just had to solve this "hell", as you identified it correctly, in some way. And I think I did. Why can't we just the fuck move on now, please?
 
@NapoleonWilson sure, we would have moved on already if you stopped editing my post
in fact, I wouldn't even BE in here right now
 
@NapoleonWilson I didn't even answer fast... I was at lunch at it took me over an hour to get back to the site and then another 30-45 minutes to actually write the answer.
Everything that I understand is that the tagging system is f-ed up on every single site and there's no one right answer to any tagging question and it's up to each individual site to determine how they want to actually use tags.
 
@Catija The tagging system on every site I've used is nice and clean, I wonder why that is
you don't see (m)any meta tags on Arqade
 
I can only say, the situation didn't go too well at all and maybe not everything was solved perfectly. But I think we are at a point now that all could live with, if we were able to move on from the argument.
 
3:41 PM
if I hadn't been busy with real life and finished the original tag cleanup I started during beta, this site would be also
@NapoleonWilson sure, stop editing my post and the subject can end
 
@Flyk And I'm sorry I won! ;-P
 
You're just pissed that you can't always have things the way you want.
 
@Flyk Yeah, you already said what a friggin hell of a total mess this site is, we know.
 
@Catija I'm just disappointed that you guys don't have a solid grounding in how SE works and yet you're preaching to me like you do, making the same mistakes that many intelligent people have spent years working out on other sites
and that rather than learn how the rest of the network does it, you choose to argue semantics
 
@Flyk Aw c'mon, speak about exaggeration.
 
3:42 PM
and arguing semantics on the internet when English isn't even my favorite language is annoying
@NapoleonWilson you have said yourself, you don't know what a meta tag is
you know if you knew what a meta tag was, and why we don't use them around here, I wouldn't even experience any friction at all cleaning this place up
 
@Flyk Gah, this crap here has went way beyond constructive tagging discussion. But I (or anyone not you) am not going to take the sole blame for that.
 
I've read that sentence like 8 times and I can't work out what you're trying to say
 
@Flyk That friction doesn't just come from me. Neither have I said I disagree with your efforts in cleaning this up. Neither does it mean that everyone who doesn't see those tagging problems as urgent and pressing and site-destroying as you do doesn't give a damn about this site.
 
I don't see it as "urgent", I think that's an important distinction to make
 
The rest of the network is not movies and TV... every site is free to make their own decisions... if Sci-Fi wants a wandcraft tag in addition to a Harry Potter tag, that's perfectly fine. Subtags work well on some sites. You can't force the site into your version of "correct" if we don't agree that's where it should be.
 
3:46 PM
I do, however, see the size of the job that needs doing
 
@Flyk I was talking about the "crap" that currently brought us into chat here.
@Flyk Sure.
 
@Catija This site currently allows people to tag things with if it contains vampires but not if it contains cake, or if it contains aliens
Don't try and use logic on me while the site is illogical
 
@Flyk Um... you wouldn't wait for two days while @NapoleonWilson got someone from higher up the chain to remove the decade tags. Stop trying to make yourself sound reasonable.
 
@Catija Because I know from experience that "getting somebody higher up to do X" takes a lot longer than just fixing the problem
 
@Flyk You adressed that in a meta discussion already, so what?
 
3:48 PM
@NapoleonWilson I was merely pointing out that @Catija's wonderful meta tags also disprove their point about them being useful
 
It's not about having every tag, it's about having tags that make sense. We don't talk about cake here... but they talk about it on cooking... and they have a cake tag, even though they also have a baking tag.
 
@Catija but we have a tag
 
That's not an "illogical" site, it's just a site whose community is either not completely decided on the matter or not too active in meta. I don't say this is good, but I don't say it's "illogical" either.
 
so why is this rule applied inconsistently?
 
I'M A GIRL.
 
3:49 PM
so?
why is that even relevant?
so am I, as it goes
but c'est la vie
right, I said his
sorry
 
We SHOULD have a vampire tag if we like because Vampires are an important part of movies. Cake is not.
 
@Catija (a) what makes vampires more important in movies than cake?
(b)so do we now tag vampires on all twilight questions?
 
Because there's an entire collection of movies about vampires.
 
(c) how do we quantify what subjects are "important in movies" and who maintains that list?
 
b - no, because the tag would only apply to questions about the vampires themselves, as in how are the vampires different than traditional vampires.
 
3:51 PM
There are plenty of movies with cakes in them too, many times they're even plot points!
@Catija surely a question about how certain types of vampire differ would be off topic on movies & tv, we don't deal with such things
what about clowns
 
No it's not. If they're asking "How do the vampires in Twilight differ from the vampires of tradition, like Nosferatu?"... that's a perfectly valid movies question and discusses the vampires in two different films.
 
would you tag questions about clowns with ?
 
I'm not going to debate with you about every fucking potential tag.
 
@Catija then the perfectly valid tags would be twilight and nosferatu
we don't specialise in vampires so we have no need for a vampire tag
but we do specialise in movies, so we do need movie tags
we are not going to attract vampire specialists to the site because vampires don't exist
@Catija oh and the next time you feel I'm acting crazy, remember this moment
I didn't even bat an eyelid at you swearing at me, I'm not going to jump to the conclusion that you're angry or mad or anything
so don't do it to me
assuming you have a clue about me infuriates me far more than anything else
 
I don't think debating about the vampire tag really is contributive to anything here in chat right now. You might want to move that to the actual meta question if you want to reach any constructive outcome. But then again, it's just chat, so feel free to converse about whatever you want, nevermind.
 
3:56 PM
@NapoleonWilson I'm not posting on meta anymore
except to roll back future edits to my post
 
@Flyk Just editing there, eh? ;-)
 
inb4 :p
 
So you're not planning to ever contribute on meta anymore? That would be bad.
 
correct, if I want to suggest something to burn I'll bring it up in here
and then you can do it, in properly thought out wording
 
@Flyk Slowly. Still working on my three current projects.
 
3:58 PM
ultimately, this is all because I put the word "props" into a post and it got misunderstood that I intended that as the only way to deal with the problem
@Donald.McLean cool, you should still let me proofread it at some point :)
what's the swearing translation?
 
@Flyk I'd be happy to, when I get one a little further along. One of my goals is get serious about the one novel that is mostly complete - 70,000 words or so.
 
@Donald.McLean you should, you know around the time I vanished from here?
I started making dance music
then shortly after I quit my job, and now I make dance music/remix other people's music/write music for commercial projects (games, adverts, etc)/dj for a living
I haven't "made it", per se, but I am certainly "making it"
 
@Flyk Yeah, and sarcasm aside, are you going to still contribute on the main site then?
 
it's definitely a dream
@NapoleonWilson certainly not in the immediate future
primarily due to time concerns and me having more important things to do
The bulk of the problem you're experiencing with me is my OCD does not allow me to be around stuff I feel is wrong - according to Stack Exchange and the generally accepted way to do things across the Stack Exchange network, Movies & TV is doing it wrong
so when I browse the site, I am compelled to edit everything I find wrong
 
@Flyk Different is not necessarily wrong.
 
4:04 PM
I wish I could explain how difficult it is for me to browse something tagged with a meta tag without compulsively removing the tag
@Donald.McLean meta tags are pretty much always wrong
broken formatting is annoying
"alot" is annoying
getting I and E the wrong way around blows my mind entirely

David JacobsenI am looking for a sketch that I saw online a few years ago. My memory is that it included Mitchell and Webb from That Mitchell and Webb Look, but I was unable to find it from there.

I have things to do, back whenever
 
@Flyk I will have to agree with you on the spelling, grammar, punctuation, and formatting.
@Flyk If you look at my profile, it lists my employer. On their web site is an employee directory with email addresses. Send me an email and I'll get back to you about my writing.
 
@Flyk And yet again, the problem arises when you claim that noone except you cares about the site just because we don't see those tagging problem as pressing or even wrong as you do. That being said, your constructive efforts have been well-received and have led to well-appreciated tag-cleanups that contributed to the site. Why you let the recent events cloud your judgment of this is another problem, though. But anyway, see you.
 
4:42 PM
@atticae No, but I guess that might take a while. Afterall I also wonder what's with the promised graduation swag. I didn't even get a form for that yet.
 
@NapoleonWilson normally more than month
@NapoleonWilson I'm not sure if you're trying to be funny or not, you've done nothing but complain the entire time
at least it seems that way from where I'm sitting
I can't believe how sunny it's been today
it's almost like summer is here
can't see my laptop screen at all in direct sunlight
 
4:59 PM
@NapoleonWilson SO you also didn't got the mod goodies too?
 
@Flyk Oh, I'm sure it does.
@AnkitSharma No, but for that we at least got a form to fill in. For the graduation stuff we (or I at least) didn't even get a form yet.
Anyway, finally have to catch up on Flash and Gotham now.
 
@NapoleonWilson I think for that some CW will going to post a meta question
@NapoleonWilson My intrest is lacking due to random break mid-between
I hate mid-breaks
 
@AnkitSharma Well, we didn't yet get Community Promotion Ads either, but my questions about how to even get them have completely gone unnoticed here and on the main meta.
 
specially when they happen more then once in single season '
@NapoleonWilson for that we need to ping CM on secret place
 
@AnkitSharma Oh, I think I did even that once.

Ahhh.....didn't know that
We already know that SE team is too fast to do this kind of stuff ;D

8:15 PM
@Flyk I'm not too worried about them, I just wondered why we didn't get them yet or what we have to do to get them. Afterall with current meta activity it's not too likely there get posted many, let alone ones that gather the necessary 6 votes to go live. But it would be interesting to have that post and see what people propose, I think.
