@tripleee @ArtOfCode could I get admin access to the PulseMonitor repo? I was planning to test Redunda integration once I complete the code in Botpy, and to redirect CI events I'll need admin access.

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ I still don't get that one. Like, just how large is the market of people moving in Hyderabad? And how many of them see stuff on Stack Overflow?
As of writing, 260 people downvoted @Magisch nomination. To me, that seems that over 200 users are involved in voting rings. (with ~60 just being people who downvoted, just for downvoting)
The single transferable vote (STV) is a voting system designed to achieve proportional representation through ranked voting in multi-seat organizations or constituencies (voting districts). Under STV, an elector (voter) has a single vote that is initially allocated to their most preferred candidate and, as the count proceeds and candidates are either elected or eliminated, is transferred to other candidates according to the voter's stated preferences, in proportion to any surplus or discarded votes. The exact method of reapportioning votes can vary (see Counting methods).
The system provide...
@Undo the other thing is - many of the upvotes are by the same people (as mentioned by @Catija and @WELZ) so when it comes to choosing the top 3 it really leaves a few candidates with split votes, as I notice a trend for voters to favour a "core" group of candidates - for want of a better description. Which means outliers from that group are advantaged, as their votes aren't as split
@WELZ I tend to think it'd help break the two-party system - you can vote for the Green Party or the Purple Party or whatever, and if/when they get eliminated your vote transfers over to Blue or Red.
@Undo Currently there's a sentiment of "You can vote for the Libertarian candidate, but you'd be wasting your vote 'cause he's not going to win anyway, might as well vote Republican because you hate them less then you hate Democrats"
@Undo In the US 2016 case, lots of folks didn't want to vote either Blue or Red, and some say that majorly changed the outcome of the Elections. I personally wouldn't want to vote for candidate A, knowing that if they get eliminated my vote will just get passed on to candidate B.
Looking at the primary scores right now, someone could say... "Pink's a shoo-in, I don't need to vote for him. If I vote for someone else, they'll get my entire vote instead of only part of it." But if they don't vote for Pink, even in third place, and everyone does the same thing, the obvious leader may not win at all!
@WELZ Heh, we have somewhat of an opposite problem with too many candidates for people to reliably vet. It practice, though, we essentially have a two party system.
Voting gets so complicated that candidates give you a sheet of paper telling you how to number your votes in order to maximize their chances
@WELZ We have a somewhat different system from the U.S. I'm not particularly involved in it - I don't know the exact details about it; but that's what we're handed to vote in federal elections
@WELZ Australia doesn't have public primaries. The parties decide which candidates they are going to run in an election. Everyone votes on the same day, and can usually vote in one of two ways. Either tick a box above the line for a single party (which means the party will distribute preferences as they see fit) or number from 1-X where X is the number of candidates if they want fine grained control over how their preferences flow.
@WELZ Well, the idea is that it should be somewhat easy to run as a candidate here. Essentially, to allow anyone a chance, not just the wealthy. It just gets out of hand. But as I said, if you're interested in a particular party, they always have representatives there to tell you the ordering to help them.
What can make it tricky is if there are a bunch of random candidates for microparties and I can't decide if I want to vote for Phillipa McSweatycrack from the Bumblehead party over Sammy Von Smellydraws from the Stumblefoot party
:( I've never gotten to do jury duty. :( I've been called twice... first time I was on an extended stay out of the country, so they exempted me... second time I sat around in the courthouse for four hours only to have the case cancelled or settled or whatever.
@AshishAhuja are you talking about Half-life (which is running under the pulse monitor repo)?
Wait, don't worry, I didnt realise we had a pulse monitor repo under our account
Looks like you already have access
Actually, you needed admin, not write access
@AshishAhuja done, just a reminder not to do anything stupid like delete the repo or something, yada yada yada we trust you and all, pallet of bricks enforcement etc, enjoy abusing your newfound powers (cc @ArtOfCode/@Undo)

@AJ there was a vague "works for us" kind of response, I reiterated the link to our chat conversation but I don't know if they ever really reviewed that. I also pointed to your meta post
@K.Dᴀᴠɪs That pattern looks like it's already caught by Potentially bad keyword in body and Potentially bad keyword in answer; append -force if you really want to do that.
posts with Korean or Chinese in the title used to be more prevalent and they often had a URL and/or a long phone number so the proportion of foreign characters would sometimes be rather small

logographic writing is probably more prone to slipping through with just a few characters in the native script, I suppose we could be slightly more lenient about phonetically based scripts like Indic, Thai, etc
