it's not my fault user chose such a common name
Redz
Redz
like probably 'this user' would refer to the username as a whole
so it should be 'laugh at Redz'
lyxal
lyxal
@Ginger well, technically speaking, the logs indicate it could be

@Ginger true story
my goofy ahh thought the chat flag counter was the reply counter and I was like "hang on I cleared the reply counter why is it still there"
Ginger
Ginger
remind me why we keep those logs at all?
can't be for accountability

but then we'd be giving up the contacts they have, the intercontinental safe passages for limb movement, tax breaks, yada yada
Ginger
Ginger
we need to look into handling more of that ourselves
lyxal
lyxal
and compete against them?
buddy that's asking for trouble

I want compensation for that

I was referring to our internal monitoring, unless we're already handling that
lyxal
lyxal
we do
Ginger
Ginger
excellent
remind me to come up with a new design for the monitors that doesn't chafe as much, btw
I get that they're necessary but they itch
lyxal
lyxal
that's a user problem
bring it up with him
Ginger
Ginger
it's a ginger and bbrk problem, is what it is
