I leave when it gets too noisy. The only time I was very chatty was after the bad parenting post and wanted to make sure the guys felt ok the next day as well.

@ArtOfCode And you told Meta.SE that you found it ... [narrows eyes]

ArtOfCode

@Randal'Thor ssshhhhhh

Rand al'Thor

heh

Seth

tsk

Rand al'Thor

@ArtOfCode Btw, is SCRAPER actually an acronym for something, or did you just feel like shouting?

Q: A site (or scraper) is copying content from Stack Exchange. What do I do?

Since day one of Stack Overflow, all content posted on Stack Exchange sites by their users (i.e. you wonderful people) has been provided to the whole universe under the CC-BY-SA license. For my fellow non-lawyers, that license basically means: Anyone can use any Stack Exchange posts at any time...

@Randal'Thor It's a backronym for something. Stack Content Reproducers something

PhMgBr

AKA Pop's best idea for quite some time

Rand al'Thor

@hichris123 Wow. I always thought it just referred to "scraping" content out of the depths of SE.

PhMgBr

Or animuson's?

Shrug

Rand al'Thor

> Historically, SCRAPER here on Stack Exchange meant "Stack Content Republishers Attributing Poorly and/or Excelling at Ranking." More generally, a scraper is another website which copies content from our sites either by scraping directly from our pages, accessing the information through our API, or some other means.

Seth

I'm pretty sure Pops or someone came up with that just to match scraper.

Rand al'Thor

4:24 PM

Yeah, it must be a joke.

Surely?

Seth

because crawling sites and copying content is called scraping...

PhMgBr

@Randal'Thor Well, you should double-check your eyes if you don't find humor in meta.SE posts in some way.

Except some boring FAQ

Rand al'Thor

@PhMgBr I've seen revision comments there that are like mini-stories.

PhMgBr

Random's revisions.

The guy's a legend.

Rand al'Thor

@PhMgBr Also easy to confuse with me, @Rand.

Well, just hope you guys don't find yourselves in the same chatroom.

Seth

@ManishEarth well, I did more looking and now I'm not so sure what I wanted to ask. Basically I was looking for a non almost deprecated way to add an item to the tabs context menu (similar to this github.com/gialloporpora/newtabintabcontextmenu/blob/…)

but it doesn't seem to exist.

@ArtOfCode Don't. It's not your responsibility and you aren't an authorized agent of SE to do so.

ArtOfCode

@Andy No, for my own content, which I am authorized for.

I don't think it's spam; the user has activity on other sites. It's more of a case of "blame the question".

@SmokeDetector That's an interesting question.

PhMgBr

@Andy Says Cowp in LO that it had a non-vulgar meaning prior to 1820.

Then it might have started to have a vulgar meaning after that.

But it might have been the Victorian age and people weren't as impolite as they are now, so.

Seems like a plausible explanation.

Maybe we should remove the cat pictures... they take up a lot of space in a chat window.

I'd be up for that. They've kinda lost their novelty with me.
