However one should always trade cat 3 for cat 5

@Allerleirauh so the constipated dog Q/A also triggered your “spammy senses”?

@Stephie I would also argue that its not an answer, the answer only talks about prevention. Not what to do when the dog is actually constipated

@Stephie worth a flag, if it was on one of my sites, I'd check the IP and email....

@JourneymanGeek Did immediately. Two minutes after the post. That’s just a bit too much “coincidence”

@SerenaT But spam-flagging the answer alone would affect only the answering account and leave the asking untouched.

And yes it’s not an answer.

Well yes, but if we get an actual answer to the question it might still help people

@SerenaT I didn’t say “remove” it. But if it’s a more complicated spam plot (spam anchor), the user still deserves a slap on the wrist

True true

I am worried. Chester has been AWOL for a day. That’s not something he does ever.

Is Chester a cat?

Yep.

Hope hes is doing okay. Maybe he just forgot time exploring

I hope. He loves regular meals, so I know something is amiss.

@Stephie Awww he looks so comfy!

Our cat once did not come home and after searching for a week we found him in the church basement (he was fine). He had jumped in through a window that was high up without thinking if he could get out again.

He used to get lost a lot but it was usually him just accidentally getting locked in or being a little genius

@petresearchbetaaccount This is your invitation to the chat room. Welcome!

@Elmy Uh... doesn't a new user need a minimum of 20 rep to post in chat?

Or can mods override that?

@Stephie AFAIK they can enter the chat if they're pinged

@Elmy enter yes - every user can read. But posting? Not so sure.

That's why there's this very general invitation ping

@Stephie WTF?? What kind of sense does it make to enter and then not being able to chat

@Elmy Incentive? 20 rep isn't much...

I just remember a few situations where we kind of "nudged a promising user over the threshold" in the Frying Pan.

There are sporadically talks to give mods the power to override the 20rep, but I must admit I am not sure about the current status.

Ask in the TL? - Just did. Let's see what the others say.

@Elmy restrictions confirmed. You can give the user specific write access, though. At least that's what I got from the TL.

Without that, superpinging a new user is kind of unfair ;-)

Great, now I feel Really stupid -.-

Yeah I remember Lila used to do something to give new users chat access.

@Stephie Now you got me :) my foat mesaage in the chat... and I need to write blind, because the movile version is not working properly XD ... So yes, the selfanswering people with one rep each troggered my suspicion hard ... But because it was informativ I thoigh it should not be closed from the beginning. Maybe they lwarn :)

@Allerleirauh Sorry for using the mod super ping ;-) Good to have you here!
