mhm, we there was many many many many edits with tiny changes.. and everytime I review them I'm like "well.., that's kinda useless but he is not wrong". We need @rm-rf to check if you are correct or not :)

@Öskå for the record - I was just wondering. No strong feelings either way, and I would not want to falsely associate anyone.

Öskå

@YvesKlett Well, VividD got banned, and someone pops up with a "I want more rep I'mma edit everything spree" just like VividD did. Your wonders are legitimate IMO :) Of course it could be someone else but it's worth being checked.

+ same kind of question, taking codes from other answers and asking a new question without providing any code whatsoever. It's totally VividD like :)

@Öskå honi soit qui mal y pense ;-)

Öskå

@YvesKlett Never heard of that phrase before :P WIkipedia helped me :D I've never heard of the verb "Honnir" before :P

Yves Klett

@Öskå I was feeling sophisticated.

Öskå

@YvesKlett I'm impressed ;) Your french (even if it's apparently used in the UK) are amazing ;)

+ skills :P

Yves Klett

hah, for the spelling I had a pre-embarassment peek at wikipedia myself :D

Actually I was thinking about spouting the german analogue "Ein Schuft, wer Böses dabei denkt" and went polyglot instead.

so much for my erstwhile train of thought - be back later!

@Öskå Well, I pinged Adrian days ago, pointing out the useless edits he's making to 2+ years old posts and guess what .. he did not respond :D

Q: How to make the editing time for my own comments longer?

that's awful. The time left to edit my own comments is absolutely not enough. Why should it be, that 8 minutes after I have written something, I cannot edit my own text? It happened already several times that something turns me away (the colleague asking an urgent question, a phone call etc.) and...

Who would have thought that a butt-simulator would lead to so much mirth?

Öskå

3:30 PM

@Sektor Some of his edits are not that useless.., but it's weird. I strongly believe it should be checked if he has any relation with VividD.

@YvesKlett Most of us are I believe males.., that's the main reason I guess :P

Yves Klett

@Öskå yes, all very adolescent. But in all fairness, no sex was specified and all shown solutions could well be belonging to both sides.

But I had a few chuckles today, I confess.

Öskå

@YvesKlett Couldn't belong to Kardashian I'm afraid, PlotRange wouldn't handle it.

Yves Klett

@Öskå there goes one star for you :D

Cheek overflow, eh?

Öskå

@YvesKlett I wouldn't call that an overflow..

Yves Klett

@Öskå let´s not go there ;-)

Öskå

3:44 PM

@YvesKlett Smartass :P

Yves Klett

@Öskå you know, I could (and feel compelled to) go on with that wise-cracking, but I fear I shall lose what little is left of my credibility.

Öskå

@YvesKlett Go on, I won't tell anyone.

@Öskå Not all of them, but adding a graphic to a question from Dec`12 with 16 up-votes :D ?

Öskå

@Sektor Well.., I hope mods can have time to look into it :)

@bobthechemist have you seen this? raspberrypi.org/ramanpi

bobthechemist

@PatoCriollo Totally geeked about that (and feel bad for my students, since I'm sure building a raman spectrometer is in their future)

It does make my spectrometer look a bit meager...

Pickett

@bobthechemist I like your spectrometer more! The learning to investment ratio is much better :)

(the ramanpi costs a couple of hundreds of dollars to build.)

bobthechemist

@Pickett Cool, thanks. We all have to start somewhere.

@Öskå I noticed that too. BTW it looks like the 'minor edit' reject reason has gone. Did you see that?

@belisarius Hi bel

Öskå

@SjoerdC.deVries There is something defined as "This edit does not make the post even a little bit easier to read, easier to find, more accurate or more accessible. Changes are either completely superfluous or actively harm readability."

Which I tend to use quite often :P

Sjoerd C. de Vries

@Öskå well a one-letter spelling improvement is a little bit of an improvement, so that reject reason can't be used. It used to be something like insufficient or so.

Öskå

Like adding a tag.. But in principle the tag should be there. Is adding a tag an improvement?

Although I remember seeing a "too minor" line.., can't remember where though.

Sjoerd C. de Vries

It could be

I guess they changed the wording

Öskå

Need to wait for Adrian to make a new edit, it shouldn't take too long :P

Sjoerd C. de Vries

10:12 PM

There are a few others with the same edit pattern

Öskå

Recently it's mostly Adrian, who ever he is/was.

Sjoerd C. de Vries

Dragan markovich or something to that extent

Öskå

mhm yep that one too mathematica.stackexchange.com/users/22022/… :) I don't know what should be done about that. They are not really harming anyone, but are they helping?

Sjoerd C. de Vries

Mrakovic

I'm a bit worried that behind this seemingly harmless behavior something more nefarious may be lurking.

Öskå

Like what?

Sjoerd C. de Vries

Setting up of a sock puppet ring or so

Or just creating powers for various mischievous conducts

Öskå

o.O I'm confused I have to admit :P
