@SmokeDetector Why is it being shown as deleted even when it is not?
 
@angussidney You can write them, doesn't mean I don't find them
 
@iBug her MS account was created before the name change
 
Also I'm not the lord annihilator of serial voting I wrote a sql script using SEDE data calm down :D
 
A J
10:03 AM
 
@Mithrandir You don't really write codes, right?
 
It looks vaguely like an answer but also might be spam
 
@iBug 'codes'?
 
I don't recall: can moderator nominations be removed 'cause they're just pain trolling?
 
@Magisch well you are in my opinion :P
 
10:03 AM
@iBug nope. The most I've done is edit github.com/superplane39/GetAllTehCommentz to what I wanted
 
@Cerbrus yep, just wait for the CMs to come online..... :)
 
@angussidney Probably still won't get me past the primary
 
@AJ it was deleted shortly after being posted, and then undeleted again
 
@Magisch looks like it - problem is, it's answering the question
 
@angussidney Kewl. They've got one to handle :P
 
10:05 AM
@angussidney "codez", right?
 
@Magisch hmm, it sounds a little bit spammy, but I'm hesitant
 
@Magisch I'm the one most likely to not get past the primary lol
 
A J
@Floern then it needs flags
only 3 yet
 
@angussidney Looks spammy but I'm hesitant, too, +1 +1 +1 +1...
 
@YvetteColomb why do you think that? you were runner up last time
 
10:07 AM
@YvetteColomb I think you viciously underestimate drive by voting based on rep
 
Even the joke candidate got more primary votes then me last time mostly because he had 100k rep
 
@Floern I'm floating at the bottom of the questionnaire on meta - much worse than last year.
 
And what nationality your name sounds like
 
@angussidney sad isn't it?
@Magisch yeh - I get that.
 
10:08 AM
Yeah
 
I'm the new Johnny Bones of the election :D
 
Jenny bones, perhaps?
 
@YvetteColomb I think that's just meta, the majority of voters won't read the QA
 
@Cerbrus Perhaps Chuck Norris?
 
@Cerbrus yep!
@Cerbrus I have a horse in foal- due next month!
 
A J
10:11 AM
@SmokeDetector I might know this spammer.
 
@YvetteColomb How are you planning on cuddling the cute little thing and moderating SO?
That's impossible!
(Also yaaay!)
 
@Cerbrus oh I will! I spend a few hours a day with the horses now.
 
wow, horse
does that imply that livestock is on-topic on Pets?
@YvetteColomb The "horse" or the "horses"?
 
@Cerbrus ikr! she is a rescue - long story short, I bought her from a horse meat dealer. Heavily pregnant and a body score of 2. So I hope bub will be ok. Getting lots of feed and supps
 
Good luck :-)
 
10:13 AM
@iBug I have 3.9 horses :D

@YvetteColomb 3 ok but .9? Is he missing a toe or something? :P

@Henders Wait... you got a t-shirt???

Mebbeh.
 
I just got the hat, and I had to ask for it.
I got a t-shirt from the Moose, but that's separate.
 
O.o my questionnaire was at 36, but it just dropped to 30
 
I had to ask too. When the stickers for smokey happened, I asked if they could send me the rest :P
 
is that a voting ring I smell?

@Henders 14 on the weekend, 8 during the week
 
Although I did sleep for ~11 hours last night - avoid sleep deprivation :P
 
@Mithrandir I managed 36 once, after a school camp. I missed an entire day..
 
I can't vary my sleep. I have to sleep roughly the same every night or I can't wake up :P
 
Guess camps aren't for introverted people

@Henders I wake up fine during the week. I'm also very good at turning around and sleeping for another 6 hours during the weekend ;)
 
Longest I've ever gone is about 65 hours... that's really not fun.

I guess mine is around 17-18 hours, but only when I was sick.
 
@ArtOfCode Yeah but you are already a mod
@ArtOfCode done 40 hours once was not worth it whatsoever

New policy: Please don't comment on posts Smokey reports unless you're familiar with the site.
Just saying.
Yes, that is a useless answer. However, we don't know what the OP is and should always assume good faith unless we have good reason to assume otherwise. So we now have two comments, visible to the OP, one accusing them of spamming and the other giving instructions for how the post should be flagged.
 
@PeterJ I checked the mark-up and it doesn't seem to have changed?

None of this is helpful, there is a small chance it might create problems and is not what Charcoal is supposed to do!
 
Fair enough I guess, just deleted my comment although I must say in that case I was just pointing out something not that visible
 
mine too
 
@PeterJ OK, put that in the flag
Not in a comment.
 
@iBug web.com is a real site but probably not something the OP wants to promote
 
And granted, this case is pretty clear, but I really think you all should get used to using flags instead of comments.
It's much safer and less drama prone all around.
