On V'Dibarta Bam, the Mi Yodeya chat site, one can often find a user named "Meta-Man" sharing interesting meta-posts about site governence or pointing out interesting discussions, but I cannot tell who or what Meta-Man is. It could be a specific moderator with a different name on Mi Yodeya Meta. ...
@TRiG Badly, though. Note that the onebox above includes quotations as definitions. (Unless that's in the original. I didn't check.) (Just catching up on backread here.)
+1. David, I hope you'll consider taking a short break (if you need some time away) and then coming back. An unused account does no harm, and it'll be here when you're ready. — Monica Cellio ♦18 hours ago
^^^ I got a Pundit badge on meta as a result of that comment. It feels like that means something.
Is there a way to view your own progress towards certain badges? For example:
Tumbleweed - What value constitutes low views for a week?
Fanatic – Is there a way to view how many days in a row you currently have?
Beta – Is it even possible to get this badge anymore?
@MonicaCellio To be honest, we had already conducted our own test by the time you responded. But I figured I would follow through anyways once I bugged you.
@IsaacMoses interesting -- I just tried to downvote it (and the Roomba would get it from there) but it's locked. I seem to recall that rejected migrations end up locking the original; I consider that a bug but I don't know if SE does. @DoubleAA, any reason not to either unlock it (and let the voters loose) or just delete it? Do you see any value in keeping that?
I often see in the VLQ review queue posts that are flagged for their length and content. Often they are, indeed, very low quality, but they are valid answers. Since my options from the review queue are "looks OK" or "recommend deletion," I usually say they look OK since they don't deserve to be...
Thank you! I’m glad this is turning into a little bit of an online chevre for me. I still consider myself very much at the beginning of my exploration of the true depths of Judaism, so I’m taking my chevre everywhere I can get it these days.
@ablaze OK you just worked out how to ping. Step 2 is how to make your ping a response to the comment to which you are responding. If you hover your cursor over my (or anyone's) comment, a small arrow will appear at the bottom left. If you click on it, your next comment will appear as a response to that comment.
