@StrixVaria What does it mean to be human? Why are we here? I mean, are we the product of some cosmic coincidence? Or is there, really a god watching everything? With a plan for us and stuff. I don't know man, but it keeps me up at night. ...

@SaintWacko It's TheCodingMonster. I changed my username to make @fredley laugh

@StrixVaria Who says you never seen me before?

StrixVaria

@Ktash Wow, how did I not get that reference?

user15026

I've seen them on the site

StrixVaria

@UniKitty I do. I saw what your old name was, and didn't recognize it.

UniKitty

Yeah now I'm UniKitty. Just do @Uni to cause confusion and chaos. The @Unionhawk will also come along

Unionhawk

no

do not do this thing

UniKitty

6:08 PM

See, you came along because of @Uni

Unionhawk

-chaos

UniKitty

Not @Unionhawk. Yep chaos

user15026

@UniKitty Considering you are seeming to frustrate @Unionhawk, perhaps this should not be a thing?

Unionhawk

@AshleyNunn I don't legitimately care

user15026

@Unionhawk alright, then I take back the statement.

@AshleyNunn It is not serious, just fun. @Uni

user15026

@UniKitty I just wanted to make sure all of the appropriate people were considering it an adequate amount of fun.

Unionhawk

I am not easily annoyed.

@fredley No nostalgia. I saw it for the first time last year!

user15026

6:11 PM

@Unionhawk You are a pretty chill human being :)

Unionhawk

Especially since @fredley no longer has the power to change my avatar to triforce to mitigate my annoying him

Now the best he can do is script it

Today is a good day

StrixVaria

@Unionhawk Banned for not having a triforce avatar.

UniKitty

@fredley broke it so now no one can do it

Unionhawk

@StrixVaria You change your avatar too

StrixVaria

My avatar finally makes sense.

Unionhawk

Does it?

Elaborate.

Barred owl

The barred owl (Strix varia) is a large typical owl native to North America. Best known as the hoot owl for its distinctive call, it goes by many other names, including eight hooter, rain owl, wood owl, and striped owl. == Description == The adult is 40–63 cm (16–25 in) long with a 96–125 cm (38–49 in) wingspan. Weight in this species is 500 to 1,050 g (1.10 to 2.31 lb). It has a pale face with dark rings around the eyes, a yellow beak and brown eyes. It is the only typical owl of the eastern United States which has brown eyes; all others have yellow eyes. The upper parts are mottled gray-brown...

Q: How do I change the active element of the Murmur fusion rifle?

Unionhawk

I used "too chatty". that's not what comments are for.

UniKitty

And one of the mods here deleted it?

StrixVaria

6:22 PM

@UniKitty Yes. Don't do that.

Have fun in chat. Don't try to instigate extra trolling on the main site.

UniKitty

Sorry. Making a query to find all the Uni's

Unionhawk

I am generally apathetic about the three letter ping thing, however, it is starting to feel like it's becoming intentional and bordering on malicious.

Yuuki

@AshleyNunn It's the Fallen London PvP thing, so you might not. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't figure you as the PvP type.

Neither am I. Much prefer co-op.

user15026

@Yuuki Yeah, I know what it is, I interacted with it briefly, which is why I feel like I should know how to get out of it, because yeah, not teh PvP type

@Lazers2.0 I forgot how little of a shit @StrixVaria gives about these questions

user15026

They're not really useful to keep.

Unionhawk

Nope

StrixVaria

Undeleted ITG questions can only cause headaches if they're retroactively edited to include an artifact.

Mar 18 at 21:14, by StrixVaria

From now on when I see ITG questions I'm going to just straight up delete instead of closing.

Unionhawk

6:42 PM

I know

I remember now

But it's still kind of funny to just see the "NO" deletion straight from lazers

StrixVaria

Also I searched for "itg delete" in posts made by me in the Bridge and that didn't come up. Search pls.

UniKitty

In 10 minutes they get deleted.

StrixVaria

@UniKitty No?

UniKitty

Why no

StrixVaria

It's on the order of weeks for questions to get auto-deleted.

user15026

6:44 PM

@UniKitty I don't think it is that fast, no

Unionhawk

In the mean time users come up with what the game is, a screenshot is retroactively added, etc etc...

StrixVaria

It gives people a chance to try to edit their question into something useful. But that's not possible and could be actively harmful with ITG, so I bypass the timer.

Unionhawk

Weird shit happens et voila we have people voting to reopen, even though the precedent is to not reopen.

UniKitty

There are some questions that get nuked in 10 seconds because spam

Unionhawk

Mod deletion bypasses that step

user15026

6:45 PM

@UniKitty spam etc is a different mechanism'

Unionhawk

@UniKitty Sure, deleted by community. Closed questions meeting certain other criteria are deleted in a week-ish

StrixVaria

@UniKitty Enough people flagging as spam will also nuke a question without even needing a mod.

Unionhawk

(negatively scored with no positively scored answers)

UniKitty

So as soon I press "Flag" and the server receives it, it gets nuked so fast that it can't even load the page again?

StrixVaria

@UniKitty If you're the nth flagger, sure?

I think it takes 6 spam flags, but I'm not exactly sure.

Unionhawk

6:47 PM

With 6 spam or offensive flags, a post is automatically deleted.

If you cast the deleting flag, the post is deleted and the page refreshes

UniKitty

This was the one. Go find it

Unionhawk

Or, we can not, since spam is a thing that we know about anyway

murgatroid99

@UniKitty The highlight makes it look like it was already deleted, as it should have been

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria I think it depends on the score. If a post has a low or high enough score, I think the amount of flags required for auto deletion is changed.

Pretty sure 6 is the default, though.

Unionhawk

@murgatroid99 That just means that it is currently deleted

StrixVaria

6:49 PM

@UniKitty Yours was the 6th flag.

UniKitty

And now my meta post about swearing is getting lots of swearing comments about this filter will not FmUoCtKhIeNrG work.

user15026

@Wipqozn This meta post says it's just 6

user15026

@UniKitty shrug

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn Colour my mistaken!

user15026

Word filters are kinda pointless as they're more problematic than they are helpful most of the time and also the more you tell people not to do a thing, the more they will end up doing the thing.

Wipqozn

6:52 PM

I'm a monster.

5

Unionhawk

@AshleyNunn Ah, 6 but they expire in 48 hours so if there aren't 6 flags within that time the flags expire

Wipqozn

Time to delete @Unionhawks account in protest.

Unionhawk

I knew there were other conditions that applied

user15026

@Unionhawk Yeah, but honestly, if your spam/offensive stuff takes that long to get removed, there are other problems. :P (Or you've raised an incorrect flag :P)

Unionhawk

Yes.

StrixVaria

6:53 PM

Vulgarity is such a weird concept anyway.

Unionhawk

That was the main use case of "other conditions" - the "incorrect flag" case

I assume mods also have the power to say "you're wrong" too as with any flag

user15026

@Unionhawk Ah, okay, I misunderstood that

Wipqozn

@Unionhawk Most likely

Unionhawk

Woo! The office of financial aid has taken me from "scholarship revoked" to "scholarship probation - get your GPA to 3.0 by the end of the year"

user15026

Yay improvement?

Unionhawk

7:03 PM

Which is basically meaningless because I have 2 semesters of scholarship left

So get it to 3.0 if I want a chance of an extension I guess

MadMAxJr

What field of study?

Unionhawk

Computer Engineering

My engineering GPA is like 3.2 though

It's the other stuff that kills me

MadMAxJr

I was doing great till my last year. Dropped from a 3.2 to a 2.7.

Unionhawk

For no good reason

Chippies

The only way I can think a swearing filter could work is if instead of forbidding the question/answer to be posted, it would post as usual, but go into a swearing review queue, kinda like edit review

Unionhawk

7:05 PM

It's not something that belongs on main site, in general

But main site should at least pretend to be professional

Chat literally cannot be professional

Mostly for my own personal gain though

I might deck out a cobra and haul intel for preparing phase systems

And he was probably listed as "enemy" or "lawless" so you had green light

but. this first cycle is just a big mess. like the expansion systems have like 2000% completed

It's kind of absurd

@Wipqozn yeah every once in awhile it decides to come back into relevance

Hopefully we get more with the preparing phases good

Though one of them has Aisling as a top contributor, so I kind of want to go there and help out

CMDR Bangfish is working for Patreus, so we don't have to worry about that dude for now

Actually, now that I have class A FSD, I could probably haul in a vulture anyway
