Q: Winter Bash 2016 All Hats

I decided to start the traditional secret hats post, but instead of just another "here is how you get the secret hats" post, to also add in all the hats. There are two answers, one for the secret hats, and one for the regular hats. Note: Only edit the list of secret hats with definitive answer...

I figured, the secret hat answer would get UVed more, so the regular hats would just sit at the bottom for the ones who want to see it.

It can only be done on a site by site basis

David

If I get the secret hat for guessing a secret hat, then I'll reenable hats.

What is that snapchat "hat" meant to be, anyway? The eyebrows/shades suggest that the rainbow is meant to come out of a face-like avatar's face at the nose or maybe mouth. I was going to wear it, but all I could think of was "runny nose". :-)

Weird rainbow-colored runny nose, I mean.

@MonicaCellio it does.

@10Replies I still don't have it, either. Just to make sure, I went ahead and added something that I happened to forget earlier.

David

@Jamal any insight as to how you came across your secret hat?

@David I just remember editing some older questions to add tags.

if these SO people will approve my Doc edit I'll have 7 too

hat names always have a meaning, but at first it is not so clear what that is.

"This Is Fine" piques my interest. I guess it has nothing to do with receiving downvotes and not editing that post.

Bhargav Rao

Tweeted your question.

Jamal

You could also check for one vote short posts of yours that'll help get a hat (Great Answer, Necromancer, Enlightened, or Guru).

Vogel612

@Jamal or it might be related to the latest blog post

David

2:58 AM

@Vogel612 interesting angle.

Vogel612

or to be more accurate, a gif from the transcript of said blog-post relating to a talk by joel ...

David

I'm taking the taco hat slowly, I 'm pretty sure it has something to do with editing, so I'm giving the hat system time between my edits.

Vogel612

edits without edit-summary maybe?

Jamal

I mentioned that, and I think someone confirmed that it didn't work.

Vogel612

would've been too easy.

SOCVR did speculate about it being related to comments maybe

but that didn't turn out well ...

Bhargav Rao

3:05 AM

Is taco related to bounties?

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

any confirmed secret hats?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

confirmed for what causes them? don't think so

NᴏᴠɪᴄᴇIɴDɪsɢᴜɪsᴇ

maybe it's still related to editing without summary, but doesn't trigger at a single edit, but only after a few

@SamuelLiew editing seams to be tied to two of them

@Rob lol, I already that that open.

Rob

Are the hats shown in the order you got them, or in a predefined order?

David

@SamuelLiew you think it has anything to do with your good answer badge (but I doubt it)

@Rob on what page?

Lloyd Dominic

@SamuelLiew How do you earn that secret hats, such as "Don't Wanna Taco 'Bout It", and "Elementary" ?

Rob

On a user's profile page - when you click the profile image to see their hats

David

@LloydDominic that is the question of the night!

Lloyd Dominic

Oh, okay!

By the way, I'm new to chatting on stack Exchange ...

"Don't wanna taco bout it" might be from comments or chat.

@AndrewLi "it's a secret"

Hosch250

3:51 AM

@AndrewLi To keep it secret for others.

They announce them after it is over.

Should I get the hats in order, or in any order?

Hosch250

Any order.

it what?

Rob

So both Samuel and another user got a silver badge today. Neither got 925, but got the taco hat

Hosch250

Jamal got the Taco hat, and he is a huge editor.

@Rob what silver did samuel get?

Rob

Enlightened

Nevermind, it's only 7minutes ago

After he got the hat

Samuel Liew

@Rob I just got it

Hosch250

3:57 AM

Probably adding/removing a certain number of characters without a summary. Perhaps over a certain number of posts.

David

that means he will be tied with me for first, again :)

Samuel Liew

@David I'll probably fall behind later

The nearest silver badge for me is the Taxonomist
