@KazWolfe I like good jokes.

Kaz Wolfe

@StrixVaria then i'm not the right person.

GodEmperorDune

@KazWolfe perhaps the problem is with the joke

Unionhawk

Good jokes are good

StrixVaria

i.e. not the kind told by @Wipqozn or you apparently.

Kaz Wolfe

@StrixVaria I have very good jokes, but I have enough flags against my account.

fredley

8:01 PM

You're all jokes anyway

Unionhawk

Good jokes at least?

StrixVaria

@KazWolfe Interestingly, you actually have very few, at least against this account.

We can fix that together, if you like!

@Unionhawk oops

Unionhawk

I SAW NOTHING

Tim Stone

It's going on YOUR PERMANENT RECORD

Unionhawk

lol

Kaz Wolfe

8:02 PM

@TimStone o noes i need to get the blowtorch

Unionhawk

That actually makes a lot of sense though

Wipqozn

@fredley llolol

Kaz Wolfe

@StrixVaria i actually do have flags? can i see for what?

wolfboyft

I sense...

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria OH BUUUUUUURRNNNNN

wolfboyft

But don't we all? ^_^

Unionhawk

Yeah, let's get back on track

or whatever

StrixVaria

@KazWolfe I don't think you can see.

Unionhawk

so Overwatch PTR is live

Kaz Wolfe

to... Pokemon GO?

wolfboyft

8:03 PM

there is no track

Unionhawk

@StrixVaria can confirm

Kaz Wolfe

@StrixVaria Not without mod assistance.

StrixVaria

@KazWolfe Well then you can continue not to see :)

user15026

@GodEmperorDune The book I was telling you about about the women who worked at the JPL in the 40's and 50's is insanely good so far and I super recommend it

Kaz Wolfe

@StrixVaria although it's my account, and giving me that information will only teach me what to avoid doing, thereby making less work for the mods?

StrixVaria

8:04 PM

@KazWolfe You have fewer than I do, and I have 2, so there's nothing to worry about apparently.

Sterno

I have really great flags. I have the best flags. I'm going to share them all with you and make The Bridge great again.

There is no town. No one is coming. The town has never been there, you have never been there.

8:15 PM

@SaintWacko Not really

Kaz Wolfe

you can start a chatroom @wolfboyft, but it's not private

user15026

Nah, nothing worth mentioning.

StrixVaria

@KazWolfe There's a rep requirement to start a room. I don't remember what it is, but he might not be that high.

wolfboyft

i don't want to pick the subject back up-- not here, anyways, so i want to talk to a moderator about it. there's NO way?

Unionhawk

Yeah, @twobugs deleted his account earlier today, other than that, nothing worth mentioning

Kaz Wolfe

8:16 PM

also... *random howl*

Unionhawk

RIP @twobugs

StrixVaria

@wolfboyft Is there actually something you need to discuss with a moderator specifically? If so, there are ways.

wolfboyft

Yes...

StrixVaria

Just please don't waste our time.

wolfboyft

what do you count as timewasting

so i know

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

8:17 PM

@Unionhawk I heard of @TheBrownOne deleting her account but @twobugs ?

two bugs

@Unionhawk Oh you know that wacky @Twobugs

Kaz Wolfe

@wolfboyft If any user can handle it, it wastes mod time.

two bugs

@wolfboyft If you have to ask...

StrixVaria

If it's a problem from outside the site, it's also not something moderators should have to deal with.

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

HOW MUCH AGONY DO I HAVE TO WATCH

Kaz Wolfe

8:17 PM

@ƎpᴉʇʎXD ALL of it

wolfboyft

It... ehh.. i dunno if it IS a problem from outside the site

that's the thing

Unionhawk

@ƎpᴉʇʎXD can you probably not

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

wolfboyft

does it count as inside, does it count as outside??

all I did was go into the chatroom ?

@Sterno I hope it passes.

8:24 PM

@Unionhawk Did the world even exist before Pokemon Go?

Kaz Wolfe

Rule 183332: When Kaz appears in a chatroom, it should just be abandoned because nothing will make sense anymore.

Unionhawk

Though then again part of this appears to be a coincidence

StrixVaria

@KazWolfe Alternatively, if I liked the chat room the way it was, I could just remove Kaz from it.

Unionhawk

so

Kaz Wolfe

@StrixVaria That is true.

Unionhawk

8:25 PM

@StrixVaria Man, remember when Escape Pod was a thing?

StrixVaria

@Unionhawk :|

Unionhawk

When we decided that was a good course of action?

Kaz Wolfe

Although, if I'm not breaking any rules of the chat...

StrixVaria

@KazWolfe Disrupting the normal flow of the chat is enough to get a kick.

Unionhawk

That was a fun time

StrixVaria

8:25 PM

We tend to be lax about that in this specific room, but we don't have to be.

so, should we accept edits that only add technical-issues to a question? to me it doesn't really add anything

Unionhawk

@Lazers2.0 Holy shit this game is deeper now

StrixVaria

8:27 PM

@Dragonrage If it's about technical issues, yes.

Sterno

If it's a tag we're going to use and it's appropriate to the question, sure.

Kaz Wolfe

ha. ha.

StrixVaria

@KazWolfe I'm not sure if it shows who kicked you, but in case it doesn't, that actually wasn't me.

Kaz Wolfe

glad my helping out the site with datamining and writing answers is going unheeded.

@StrixVaria Plausible deniability. Well played.

Unionhawk

It was not @StrixVaria.

I can confirm this with 100% certainty as a room owner.

GodEmperorDune

8:28 PM

technical-issues most useless tag

user15026

As a mod I can also confirm this.

Unionhawk

I will not tell you who it was, but owners get notified of who did it

Ronan

@Unionhawk Ooohhh it's a RO thing.

Unionhawk

@Ronan yup

StrixVaria

@GodEmperorDune Nah, it's good because I can ignore it and pretend the site had banned it all along.

user15026

8:28 PM

Also, it was 1 minute, it's not the end of the world, it's just a way to be like "hey this is super not constructive conversation how about we not"

@StrixVaria i don't have a problem with the underlying questions, i just think it is a horribly vague tag

user15026

8:29 PM

@fredley If the Bridge is going down the stream we have problems

Kaz Wolfe

so then, @mods, what IS on topic here? Because I see no rhyme and reason to the pattern.

two bugs

Well technically, it is an issue so...

Ronan

@fredley shudders

GodEmperorDune

it's like if my-code-doesnt-work was a tag on SO

Sterno

A kick seemed inappropriate.

StrixVaria

8:30 PM

@KazWolfe This is an interesting question.

I think the pattern emerges only through experience here.

Kaz Wolfe

one-summad year of stalking the transcript did not help.

Unionhawk

You could probably do a Ph.D dissertation on "what the fuck is even going on in /rooms/35 on chat dot stackexchange dot com" honestly

GodEmperorDune

@StrixVaria constructively contributing to the conversation almost always works

StrixVaria

@GodEmperorDune Yes, that's always a safe bet.

Now I'm off to go hunt pokemon or something.

Kaz Wolfe

Well then just to take a nice walk.

@KazWolfe Contrary to popular opinion, there are things to do outside that don't involve Pokemon.

@Unionhawk Perfect reason to downvote more.

Unionhawk

Too bad you only get one vote :)

And I intend to remain a non vote

Frank

8:39 PM

More people will probably vote on it now that you've brought it up.

Yup. Got more downvotes.

And because they spent all that time replying to you, I still don't have clarification

wolfboyft

Hi...?

God dammit

Nevermind I never asked a question

Wipqozn

@GodEmperorDune Sure, but it's not a legit reason to downvote

wolfboyft

feel like i should know you :/

Frank

8:41 PM

@Unionhawk They weren't replying to me. They were bitching that I downvoted it.

Sterno

Silly me, I thought we voted on the content of question, not the motivation or personal story behind it

Wipqozn

@Frank Okay, that's not how your message came across.

GodEmperorDune

@Wipqozn you can't control my votes with your mod abuse

Unionhawk

Now I just want to write the best reversal answer that was ever reversaled

wolfboyft

Hmm.

Unionhawk

8:42 PM

Why? Because I still need 6 votes for the tag badge

BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT

Wipqozn

@GodEmperorDune MOD ABUSE CONTROLS ALL! Also I think a ban probably would stop votes? I think a ban prevents everything bug flagging.

Unionhawk

Probably

wolfboyft

I couldn't vote during my super-duper just ban

"suspended users cannot vote"

GodEmperorDune

@Wipqozn so you are the one who is always flagging @twobugs

8:44 PM

@wolfboyft Okay,you've been warned, to not bring this up again.

@GodEmperorDune There's a way of dividing a plane into triangular regions that's very algorithmically efficient

i actually like blue as a color better than red but mystic was so lame i had to pick something else

Sterno

Kaz prefers red. Clearly you should be Blue and @fredley is awful.

@KazWolfe That's literally what I was talking about, but thanks for quoting it again I guess!

Kaz Wolfe

(mostly because the two people i know and who like me are red -- ONLY decision)

fredley

I picked Red because my first Pokémon cartridge was red. Are you saying there's any other valid way to pick?

Unionhawk

Randomly?

GodEmperorDune

8:59 PM

@fredley i picked red because it was lead by a woman and would therefore make better decisions overall

Sterno

Flagged for sexism.

i picked blue because the closest gym was blue and had an open slot.

within 10 minutes of me picking blue the gym was taken by red and has never looked back
