Q: Remove tag score requirement for suggesting synonyms

8:29 AM

When proposing a synonym one need to comply to: Users with more than 2500 reputation and a total answer score of 5 or more on the tag, can suggest tag synonyms. Users with a total answer score (total upvotes minus total downvotes) of 5 or more on the tag, can vote for tag synonyms. Suggestion...

@David Remember we were wondering about that ^^

Q: Which tag needs to have 5 score?

I tried to suggest a synonym, but I still need 5 score on a tag. Which tag needs to have more score? units or blender-units? Perhaps the phrasing of this error could be clarified to specify which tag doesn't meet the requirements?

@gandalf3 Post in question, should be fine as long as they aren't dupes.

12:56 PM

Ok, upcoming event where we try to increase our answer ratio will start tomorrow at 00:00 UTC or 7pm here, probably 8 in the US. Will add more detail later and create the actual event. Basically we want to look for questions (unanswered and answered (accepted as well)) and try to add alternative answers in an attempt to get our answer ration in the green as well. Leave your comments (if any) below. cc @gandalf3 @stacker @David @cegaton @someonewithpc @GiantCowFilms @MarcClintDion @user2859

@iKlsR good idea. Does a second answer count if it has no up votes? Should I split some of my answers that have more then one way to go about a problem? So you are saying adding a second answer, is it like what I did here?

@iKlsR Filtered to questions with only one answer, or not? Does it make a difference?

@David That's fine.

@someonewithpc No filters, but the event is more for answer ratio than percentage answered as opposed to the last event.

@iKlsR Great

Q: How to create 3D curved text the right way for boolean operations?

7:26 PM

Should this be reopened or not?

The duplicate question above is different from this question, is I need to boolean the text from a cilinder. And that requires converting it to a mesh, which messes up the text in similar matter shown below. I want to do the following, but it doesn't yield nice results: Create some text Add Mo...

@iKlsR This might sound silly but what date is it at your site? I'm afraid the event starts at 2am (GMT+2) at 25th. If so I have to skip. Sorry.

@stacker Where did you see the date? I can't find it anywhere?

Hm.. looks like a 0 byte file :/ Also in the future remember to put the URL here ;) Pasteall names files with an incrementing number, so there is no way to tell where it is with just the filename.. (I guessed it this time by uploading a file and then changing the URL to the previous file, which happened to be yours..) — gandalf3 2 mins ago

@gandalf3 lel

I tried to do that a while ago with another user who did the same thing, but I was trying a day after they uploaded.. Gave up after going through ten files :P

@gandalf3 Fair enough

Does anyone know why objects scale a different rates in this users file? blender.stackexchange.com/q/18154/599

Scene scale?

9:14 PM

After freeing the cloth sim, select everything and press S.. Some objects scale faster than others

@someonewithpc I thought scene scale just changed the units, not the actual scale..

Can't download it... Downloading something important...

@gandalf3 I don't know: It's a guess

ok. (no simultaneous downloads?)

@gandalf3 Slower

Like you would say, fair enough ;)

Almost to actual 91% answered :) (without rounding)

All the voting was worth it!

Q: Need to re-render every time I change something in the compositor because of full sample

Not long ago I have discovered the full sample feature on Blender. The feature is great and helps a lot. The problem is that whenever I render a frame with Full sample, the image is anti-aliased, but if I change something in the compositor, the image becomes aliased and remain jagged unless I ren...

rendering compositor antialiasing

Should I/you answer this?

If you know what's going on, by all means :)

I haven't used full sample much,

@gandalf3 Mean, post from the comment...

I'll leave it up to you

Done

9:30 PM

How long is the Extra-Answer event planned to go on for? Seems like a month would be a good length of time to focus on something like that.

@MarcClintDion Yeah, no kidding...

g2g

targeted lists would help. So for instance, if I run into a question that is an area that one of you knows well then it would be good if there was someway to tag a another user so they know it's there instead of having to find it on their own since that may not always happen.

later o/

see ya.

@iKlsR Some issues I see which can easily be dealt with before extra answers are posted.
I think it's important for extra answers to be as detailed and complete as those initial answers that were likely to receive "Answered" votes.

If new answers are cheap and more like hints than answers; this will affect the quality of the site.

Is there any way to track all the additional answers? They should be voted on right-away but at least several people but they are not likely going to show up at the top of news-feeds like new material does.

So how do I find answers that you've added and how do you find answers that I've added? for peer-review, voting, etc.

11:10 PM

@stacker The event will run for a week.

@MarcClintDion We will probably create a room for this.

@iKlsR what was your "that's fine" for?

5 hours ago, by iKlsR

@David That's fine.

was is for splitting answers?

@David there's an arrow next to it. You can click it to see what I was replying to.

Yes

David

@iKlsR I know but when it was all in one post it does not help.

ok I will look through my answers, and split some of them.

Same

@MarcClintDion It's easy enough to filter by tags and such to get something like this. If you see something that you think a particular user might want to answer, you can always ping them in chat too :)
