@gparyani Ah, didn't know that. Good to know.

If you all wouldn't mind, please have a look over here for a second: drones.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/104/…

Also, @JacobB, I would argue this question isn't too broad: drones.stackexchange.com/q/824/97

> If you were to ask the questions "What is a DSHOT protocol?" and the question "How does DSHOT work?" they could have very in-depth, completely different answers.

To me, those are a rephrasing of the same question. I would answer the two nearly identically, save a description of the signaling protocol.

Yeah, editing a question sends it to the front, but does editing an answer have the same effect to its parent question?

Ah, gotcha.

Well, when you do please let me know... I'm genuinely curious, not mad.

Okay, done.

Still wonder why the other person thought so...

Thanks, @Daniil! I appreciate it.

No, not a problem.

We all have lapses in judgment, it's a normal part of the human condition. :)

Ah yes. (upvoted, btw.)

I was thinking retagging questions with these: chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/54177381#54177381

I see. 😊

You're a really upstanding internet citizen, and for that I wish to (remotely) shake your hand.

🤝

@Daniil Actually, I think it would be good to keep it around to serve as a counter-example to what we want here.

We could point to it as a bad example, and post a comment to the question explaining why it's bad.

yup

yeah

I'm sorry, is there context I'm missing here?

You basically posted an answer to my question

@ifconfig see drones.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/95/… and drones.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/101/…

Ah, gotcha. Thanks! Carry on. :)

anyway, I'm not against having it as a separate question as well, I just think that you should also post the same text as an answer

I do, it mostly correlates with what I had in mind.

Okay.

Well, besides the "how to delete tags so no one will use them in the future" part I agree with you.

We need to get rid of both, retag the existing questions, and probably add a dedicated sub250 tag.

The only thing I'd change is make the sub250 tag first so that it could be used in the retagging.

Otherwise, sure.

wait wait

I'm not quite sure about how to name it

what's your take on it?

Aaaand I'm still hoping @Catija or someone else would clarify whether SE has some kind of "restrict tag" functionality so that the tags we just removed couldn't be recreated in the future by some random user.

Did you create the sub-250 tag already?

Rename it to sub-250g maybe?

ok, let's begin. I'd drop in on the fun as well.

Ok, sure

I'm going to start with mine as well.

I'd say get rid of the tag on this one entirely (and add more relevant tags probably)

erm, I'm just using the "edit tags" function, it doesn't have the option to put in descriptions AFAIK

Hello :)

Okay, one thing I should discuss.

Should we have a tag about drones that are commercially built/storebought/prebuilt/you get it?

I think such a tag would be very useful, but I'm stuck with the naming.

non-diy?

We could have a BNF tag?

Bind and fly

unfortunately, "prebuilt" includes drones that are DIY-type but built by someone else

For drones that are bought and you bind them to your own transmitter

actually, RTF seems like a good option. almost all of the commercial sealed drones are RTF

We could have Prebuilt or multiple ones like BNF and RTF

the main distinction is whether it's meant to be customizable/rebuildable, or sold as a proprietary, non-modifiable package

I'd go with RTF

(or rather the long version, ready-to-fly)

Yeah

ok, great

apparently we're done

yay

:)

Just so you know @Daniil, when you edit tags the post gets moved to the top of the feed (at least in the app). Not a problem whatsoever, just find it amusing that you’re the main character in my feed 😂

@CaptainJ.LPicard yeah, that's the main problem with mass-editing tags after private beta

@Daniil fair enough, I absolutely wasn’t trying to criticise! Just thought it was amusing!

it stirs up all of the sediment from the bottom of the feed and confuses people who don't know what the heck is happening

@FlashCactus fair point :)

and that's one of the main reasons to do all the tag related stuff early on

Good point👍

(the other is that as you go on, there's more questions that need your attention and more people who got used to something you now don't want)

Yes, I agree with that

@FlashCactus It's called a blacklist but we only do it if the tag gest recreated after being burninated several times.

ah, okay

@Daniil Submarine number 250? Please, remember to make tags that people will actually find and understand! If you really want this tag as is (which I still don't think is a good choice), you need to use terminology that's easy - "under-250-grams" is much clearer than "sub-250". There's no reason to be so short in your tag name!

I wrote a very long answer about it...

Although I agree with @Catija's point somewhat, I still think the tag itself is needed, although maybe we need to make a second pass over the questions that have it and remove it from those whose answers aren't affected by the drone being under 250g, i.e. probably most non-legislation questions

@Daniil Read the comments

context for the rest of the chat: drones.meta.stackexchange.com/a/97/272

erm, no

Not all questions about sub250 are about regulations

even though they are the minority

so there's no reason to rename the tag, just remove it from questions that aren't really affected by the size of the drone

No. Why?

@Daniil I'd untag this one if I were you: drones.stackexchange.com/questions/112/…

(while it is about an under250 drone, the answer doesn't change either way)

great!

Bye!

Bye!

Yeah, it was great!

//I almost wish there were something else to burninate :)

okay, the feed is seriously messed up now.

@FlashCactus lol @FlashCactus
