I wouldn't expect so? You haven't done the query yet, hence the pre part

Q: Monthly Community Activities!

Some other Stackexchanges run weekly / monthly Community Activities and we thought it may be a cool idea to try out here. There isn't necessarily a schedule involved yet but we want to crowd source some ideas and get a general feeling of how often you may want to participate in these kinds of thi...

@toscho This user is actually very active on English se: english.stackexchange.com/users/50044/nvz

So I would say that he qualifies for the English Learning one =)

toscho

@ChristineCooper why?

Christine Cooper

Maybe he is new to the ELL one so just started to gain reputation.

toscho

why do you think reputation matters?

Christine Cooper

Maybe I should investigate this further and skip doing actual work. lol

With reputation I meant contributions. Reputation points are rewarded when you do them =)

toscho

look at his badges. he has done nothing for ELL

Christine Cooper

Maybe he is an underdog, about to go on an frenzy. Never underestimate the potential of man.

a* frenzy

Relevant typo fix.

I really like the content that's being posted on English SE

toscho

his rep on English is equivalent to a 2500 user on our site. I'm not impressed. :)

arrow up lets you edit previous chat messages

Christine Cooper

He has my vote.

toscho

ah, the pity vote :)

Christine Cooper

(this is a joke, I won't vote in that elections)

@Howdy_McGee I like the initiative. Saw the post in the meta thread!

It would be nice to add more community oriented activities!

Project of the day. Signed a deal to work on a site. Estimate the project. Client didn't have login details at the time so signed the deal. Logged in to the site, everything is in a foreign language I don't know and there are enough plugins installed where I can't even recognize the font of the dashboard.

toscho

@ChristineCooper then set the language to english for your account

also, don't make a contract about unkown states

Christine Cooper

Lesson learned. I'm looking through my profile preferences and can't seem to find an option to change the language.

I may need plugin/code for it. This is going to be a nightmare case. At least the money is good. =)

toscho

how old is that WP version?

Christine Cooper

Just checked. 4.4.2

Wow.

Looks like I may need to do this: wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/182505/24875

This is one of those cases where everything has been built using plugins. Custom post types, custom fields, taxonomies etc. Just looking through everything is mental.

Q: Why are my flags for comments being declined?

I was under the impression a comment was temporary. That said comments that do not add value to a question or answer that are of age, typically longer than 6 months old are to be flagged for removal. I previously visited this discussion awhile ago and was encouraged to ask on meta. Now, it wou...
