Yo Teacher's Lounge! Ima let you finish [the chatcast], but the Assembly is the best goofing off location of all time. OF ALL TIME.

Don't forget, rejecting crap edits that are so wrong clears the queue the same as approving it but with a better outcome for all

@Raphael They really need to just get rid of the metrics on Area 51: every beta believes that due to the metrics there yet they don't matter at all. Your site's not going to get shut down if you're producing high quality content just because you didn't hit targets that almost no beta site hits for months upon months

@Raphael It should be the other way around. Better to close a suboptimal question, improve it, and reopen it than to leave it alone for fear of… something. Your point about promotion indicated to me that you're afraid people won't come to the site

Just a heads up to everyone wondering about Stack Mobile - the reason it keeps going down is because of an API throttle violation. Unfortunately this is not a bug with Stack Mobile but a shortcoming of the API library Stack Mobile uses - Stack.PHP.

The problem is that all these new sites don't easily get their traffic; I mean, look at Personal Productivity or any other site that shows the questions of the last two/three days on your screen. I think that some kind of discovery system where you get interesting questions from random sites based on what you already asked/answered might help drive traffic from existing users to it...

Hey.

Mass-retagging was a bit of a pain, though the community stepped up and it went pretty smoothly.

There was a mass of disgruntled Guitars users convinced that their site had had no problems, and dedicated to their shopping questions ... it took quite a while for them to adjust, and most have left now.

Dealing with links was pretty bad, some we just had to remove when we couldn't figure out where they went anymore. Converting old site links to new site links should be automated, IMO.

Guitars had a site-specific rendering plugin that we didn't have initially, so some posts looked stu…

you know, that's one good thing about this room besides publicizing mod discussions--users can come here for opinions from a few different mods

Q: A call for increased moderator transparency

It's the general policy of Stack Exchange to conduct moderator activities as transparently and openly as possible. Right now, a lot of the communication between moderators is conducted in a private chat room. This is done for good reason - the moderator agreement specifically prohibits us from di...

We still have the TL for things that can't be discussed in the open (socks, account details, ~~secret parties~~, etc.) but we can conduct all the normal discussion in here.

If given the same objective inputs you don't arrive at the same objective output your system is biased and flawed.

What I want is simple: don't play favorites. Both proposals have their set of flaws and advantages (effectively the same sets). So treat them the same. open vim or close emacs, one or the other.
