It's indeed frustrating to update (consequently re-surface) old Winter Bash posts just for them to be downvoted.

SPArcheon

Dec 22, 2022 12:35

I think that many users in this room agree that by simply watching those post it is pretty clear that there is a serial downvoter at work, and since this happens every year maybe it is time to give a message to such abbusers that if they don't like the event they can just ignore that or even better take the door and leave us...

@Derpy Yes, thank you for reminding me of it. The Giant Robot of Offense is a very good concept to interject here.

Number of posts is difficult to pinpoint, but the idea is that it takes 3 days of review for the hat.

For me, on 35 accounts:
When you receive 1 helpful flag = Gain Heads Up.
When you receive a total of 10 helpful flags = Gain Flagging
When you receive a total of 25 helpful flags = Gain Unflagging.
Check my profile, 26 or so of them have Unflagging. Some, like Movies & TV, took **no actions** other than flagging comments.

@Stevo If you flag a "thank you" comment, it immediately reports helpful. If you take something else (a post or a comment), then when that flag is handled or when sufficient others flag it such that you get credit for it as helpful then it counts.

@JamesRisner If something I said was interpreted to mean that they're not visible on your profile, I think it was a mistake... when I said it wasn't visible, I was talking about Running, not those three.

There’s no one else with the Running hat?

No. Because you can't upvote your own posts.

Trying to figure out if Shakuntala Devi and Einstein hats are somehow related. Or the former having e=mc2 equation is just a coincidence?

They changed it so it doesn’t leak private info

Simpler point here is that it probably would be better if we avoided triggers that can be influenced by other users in an attempt to make you lose an opportunity to get an hat.

SPArcheon

Dec 20, 2022 19:02

whilst those people are the problem, the trigger failure is making that problem possible.

I don't think words in questions is reasonably, maybe words in tags like the data hat though

@JamesRisner considering Splunk, I would not be surprised if the themes where like "post a question that contains something that our regex recognizes as a chemical formula".

Q: Add a spikey hair badge

You should add a badge for when a user goes over 9000 rep that references spiky hair. Perhaps allow them to wear a spiky hair on their avatar for a day or so to celebrate. That would be good fun. EDIT It would seem that my idea has not been generally well received, and granted maybe the idea ...

@Mary thank you. I have all the known ways badges (well except for a couple I'm working on).
I'm 48 hours minus 3-4 hours of sleep working on the unknown:
Emperor's New Hat
Running Up That Hill
Shakuntala Devi
Hedy Lamarr
Gregorio Y. Zara

I can't find anything that suggests these are visible from a summary page.

Just do flags. That all. Doesn't matter what kind, as long as it's helpful AND someone else agreed with your choice. If you worry others will waste your flags, just flag NLN thank you comments.
