1:00 PM
@Glorfindel I already mentioned this chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/43307542#43307542, and I'm totally prepared to drop it.
 
If you unlock the post, I'll word it in a way that doesn't insult any religion.
 
Maybe open up a chat and discuss it freely?
 
Well, you can wait for it to get unlocked automatically in a few days, or flag it for moderator attention, where another SO moderator can take a look at it.
 
I'm prepared to compromise, but no?
 
@M.A.R. I would have totally preferred that over this.
@Cerbrus I'm informing you a way to get your post unlocked, as well.
 
1:02 PM
@BhargavRao well, he was looking for a way to reach you, and now you can run together. I'd suggest opening a mod chat, granting him access, and talk it out.
 
@BhargavRao That's exactly why I contacted you.
 
Cool, then this'd be my last statement chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/43307573#43307573. Cya all \o
 
wtf...
 
No you can't, I'm two countries away
 
I don't remember you being this bureaucratic...
 
1:05 PM
@Cerbrus What the Fairies?
 
@M.A.R. Yea, wouldn't want to offend anyone
 
I've certainly changed @Cerbrus, handling hundreds of thousands of flags has made me a bit stone hearted.
 
That's a shame.
 
Bureaucratic = Stone hearted? Come on
 
1:06 PM
tpu- by Glorfindel
 
@M.A.R. more than that. West Coast, US, atm.
 
@SmokeDetector K
I'm not stone hearted
@BhargavRao two snakelike countries then
 
!!/watch consultant\.com
 
@WELZ Added consultant\.com to watchlist
 
@M.A.R. Aha, Azerbaijan + Russia
 
1:09 PM
Russia is like a fat snake
A python that's just swallowed a poor zebra
realizing Putin and python are strikingly similar

Fine. Flagged.
 
A J
I still don't know which post that argument was about.
 
Good, now another moderator would look at it.
 
Or better yet, deleted.
 
1:11 PM
@AJ Probably a good thing we don't
 
@BhargavRao Do mod flags still show up on deleted questions?
 
Yep
 
*Shrug* 'kay
 
Until a mod clears it manually
 
Or I retract it.
 
1:13 PM
Yepz, that's fine as well. Shouldn't be an issue
 
@AJ "Select moderators randomly in Stack Overflow"
 
Well allz well, that ends well. But again, take care not to get r/a flagged.
 
Oi, no arguments :P
 
@BhargavRao Hey, don't pretend you're not stone-hearted now ;-)
 
I'm still stone hearted. That's for sure ;)
 
1:15 PM
@ArtOfCode seen my blub Blub meme? 😝
 
@BhargavRao Just curious, are you allowed to tell me how many flags it got?
 
@BhargavRao Hey Bhargav
 
Well, fine, as a known chat user who used to frequently discuss with you, I can tell you that, what really tipped me was the rollback.
Nothin else.
@Cerbrus some number between 5-10
 
Wow
didn't expect that many
 
What did I miss?
 
1:17 PM
DRAMA
 
@Magisch a cryptic conversation no one understands
 
A J
It seems like everything is settled. Can I get the link to the post? It's making me more curious.
 
Mission codes
 
@Cerbrus The thing is, when moderators roll back something, we don't roll it back based on personal vendetta or something. We act based on flags. So if you roll back our roll backs, you are just inviting the flagger to . .... flag again. Just simple logic here.
 
1:18 PM
@Magisch \o
 
@Magisch Thomas Jefferson's coming home.
 
A J
@Cerbrus Ugh. Don't have 10k to see that.
 
@BhargavRao What didn't help was that the mod that rolled it back just acted like there was nothing wrong, before.
 
@BhargavRao if you don't rollback based on a personal vendetta, you're doing it wrong
 
That is the most terrible suggestion ever!
 
1:19 PM
So I was like, "Can't be that serious".
Maybe that mod should've poked me with a tiny explanation why
They know where to find me :P
@WELZ My point exactly xD
 
@Cerbrus Yeah, I would have left a comment, but I am quite sure that they saw the edit summary comment left by another user and thought that you'd have understood.
 
@WELZ is the suggestion the one I see in the title?
 
yep, so it seems
 
@M.A.R. yea
 
Goodness gracious!
 
1:21 PM
Well, that, and the user that made the suggestion kinda triggered me.
 
I wanna have wingding as mod.
 
You gotta maintain your cool. You might be running for a moderator sometime in the future, like you did in the past. Getting triggered over silly issues, won't help.
 
@Cerbrus why should you be against all good ideas? Sheesh
 
@BhargavRao I kinda changed my mind on that. Not planning on running again any time soon
 
@BhargavRao what if he was having some steak/wolf food with hot steak juice and pepper at that moment?
 
1:24 PM
@Cerbrus Uh, fine. But let that not become an opportunity to get triggered.
 
And the pepper was those hellish red Mexican ones
 
@M.A.R. then I'll let PETA lose on him
 
@BhargavRao SO elections are too much popularity contest and not enough merit
 
here is the question for anyone's morbid curiosity
 
A J
1:25 PM
@SurajRao thanks. :P
 
@Magisch Err, you don't tell that to a candidate who has won. That raises the question if they've won it not through merit. :|
 
@BhargavRao Almost every serious candidate has the merit
 
@BhargavRao I'm sure you can see how many flags that user triggered with stupid meta contributions? :P
 
those that don't get shouted down in the nomination
 
@SurajRao triggered
 
1:26 PM
You just need merit and popularity to get anywhere
 
@Cerbrus I really don't understand why they aren't question banned on mSO.

@SmokeDetector K
 
1:27 PM
@Cerbrus What exactly was that spat about? I visited that question and left a comment indicating how bad an idea that was, but I didn't see anything horribly offensive
 
@Glorfindel from what I'm told, they can't separately Qban him on Meta
 
@Glorfindel there are no qc bans on child meta sites
 
@BhargavRao I wasn't trying to say your winning had no merit. If you recall I quite publicly voted for you at that time :p
 
@Magisch my answer was "blasphemous"
 
I could see why it could have triggered anyone though
Especially possible comments
 
1:28 PM
I'd say no problem: Just (question) ban the user completely. Surely outweighs the headache...
 
@Cerbrus ouch, okay, I have had one of those answers
 
@Cerbrus lel
 
Still lying around. I typed the answer at 3 a.m.
 
Anyway, time for me to leave. Have 32 mins of night left, before I get up and get going. Cya \o
 
(My answer started with "Abso-deitydamn-lutely not")
@BhargavRao Nite, sleep well!
 
A J
1:29 PM
@BhargavRao I got 1 minute. :P
 
@Magisch yupz, I know <3
 
@BhargavRao cool, you were chatting in sleep.
 
@Cerbrus Thats not something to get triggered over, it's just humorous
 
Modding has literally become his life.
 
@M.A.R. Yeah, 5:29AM :/
 
1:29 PM
@Magisch Apparently it got 5-10 flags
 
@Cerbrus readies the chat flag
 
I need my 10 hours of sleep every night
lest I become annoying
 
@Tinkeringbell don't you dare :D
I took care not to name the deity xD
 
@Cerbrus still humorous. Maybe I would have edited out the part just to focus the discussion on what's important but alas
 
@Cerbrus Any deity is even worse, you're now insulting even more people XD
 
1:30 PM
@Tinkeringbell *Facedesk*
This is why we can't have nice things
 
SO Meta isn't the place to fight people about their religion on :p
 
@Magisch 10hrs is too much ...
 
@BhargavRao what can I say I'm very sleepy
 
@BhargavRao Go! Sleep!
Shoo!
 
1:32 PM
I still find the time to load y'all up with flags though
evil laughter
 
Yep, omw.
@Magisch their time will come, sometime after 1 week. My exams are soon getting over ;)
Okay, now I leave. Bye \o
 
Bye
good night
@ArtOfCode what Taryn warned us about happened: meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/364383/…
 
sort of like "I'm the one your mother warned you about"
 
@Magisch oops, my fault ...
 
@Glorfindel You're a robot, glorfindel :p
 
1:40 PM
Oh. Then it's Art's fault.
!!/blame᠎ ​᠎​⁠‌᠎᠎
 
@Magisch yeh @Glorfindel ... not supposed to have any rep
 
@Glorfindel It's ArtOfCode's fault.
2
 
@ArtOfCode can probably remove him
 
We've reached cultural height of 2 memes of charcoal in this short conversation
:D
 
!!/blame᠎ ​‍​​⁠‌
 
1:43 PM
@ArtOfCode It's time to remove those domains that aren't ours from sign up.
 
@Cerbrus It's Magisch's fault.
 
@Magisch if u wudnt hav sed it, we probebly wudve got more of teh memez
 
there was something about a squid there as well
 
That's another 2 memes down.
 
blub. Blub. blub
 
1:43 PM
Is talking about the memes of charcoal a meme of charcoal?
 
waffles
 
It's coming from inside the chatroom
 
@Magisch it's a meta-meme.
 
can I link to a comment in Channels? apparently not
 
can't link anything from channels
 
1:44 PM
> I'm not actually sure what the consumer NS domain name is, I quoted this from memory and can't find any recent examples to check against. If someone can remind me and/or check this particular fact, that would be much appreciated.
 
@ArtOfCode Our meta posts are drawing attention and random users are signing up. It's also causing me to get pinged by devs asking us to remove those domains. Please do so.
 
@tripleee Channels is semi-private so it won't onebox.
 
(for someone whose DNS is hosted on Namecheap)
 
@SmokeDetector why
 
@WELZ That's not a report.
 
1:44 PM
@Glorfindel so it seems
 
@Andy Taryn called it yesterday that something like this would happen
 
another meme
 
1 min ago, by tripleee
waffles
 
Blue ones?
ugh, made the mistake to google it again. since the meme decreased in popularity the real ones bubbled to the top again
 
Are there any other channels for SOCVR or SOBotics, or other SE groups or are we the only one
 
1:47 PM
don't google blue waffles
 
We need smokey to send us a message: "New Charcoal Channel WELZ created" (with link to their profile)
 
@JakeSymons socvr has one afaik
 
@JakeSymons sobotics has one, but you need an sobotics email.

1:49 PM
!!/watch (?:1\W*)?850\W*329\W*0522
 
@tripleee Added (?:1\W*)?850\W*329\W*0522 to watchlist
 
Why does the channel have SO's favicon?
 
May be better to post that on main.so.meta
... this is getting confusing
 
All confusion and bugs aside. Channels have so far been a lot of fun and awesomeneszzzz!

rep in channels is really pointless, but still works to encourage you to post stuff
 
@Andy where have you been pinged? I need to talk to them and figure out what that's actually going to do.
 
so maybe it's not pointless after all
 
@Magisch Until we get a new user that wants to get lots of rep and posts loads of cruff hoping for upvotes
Because the main stuff is already posted
 
@ArtOfCode please remove the generic gmail/yahoo from signup

@tripleee That pattern looks like it's already caught by Pattern-matching website in body and Pattern-matching website in answer; append -force if you really want to do that.
 
@Taryn if we remove it, do those users that have already signed up (with those domains)... get deactivated?
 
@Andy I'm one of those "random users". I've no idea how to leave the Channel. Any help?
 
@ArtOfCode SO's mod room
 
@WELZ no they are already in
 
1:54 PM
@KeyurPotdar Ask @ArtOfCode
Yup, you joined the Charcoal team. I can deactivate your team profile, if you want? — ArtOfCode 8 mins ago
 
Yes, I'd like it.
 
@WELZ that might delete the SO account, or has anyone tried it yet?
 
@WELZ You sure that doesn't delete the whole SO account?
 
I saw the delete profile option. But was afraid it'll delete my SO account. So didn't try it.
 
1:55 PM
@ArtOfCode we're going to be locking it down so those addresses cannot be used but right now links to internal team pages have been posted on MSO and if you don't have access you're shown the signup page
 
you're right don't do that
 
I'm willing to try that? My SO account isn't really worth anything so...
 
It forwards to SO...
that's the problem
 
@SmokeDetector K
 
Seems like we done broke it
 
1:56 PM
so it has to be deactivated by admin
 
Already
New record: Less then 1 full day after launch
 
@CalvT븃 Please deactivate my profile if you can.
 
@KeyurPotdar cc: @ArtOfCode
 
Sorry, @ArtOfCode please deactivate my profile.

I wonder about chat
Can you sequence-break chat responses
 
Someone actually downvoted something of mine on the channel :P
 
@tripleee and you are #4 about to pass me in 3rd.
@quartata you have too much rep :P
 
2:14 PM
Like when you respond to a message that hasn't been posted yet, will the response be rendered properly in the transcript?
 
Not sure why since it was right...?
@WELZ no I don't, Glor rep capped while I was asleep without posting anything new
 
@quartata I didn't say the most, I said too much lol
@quartata which post?
 
something about !!/stopflagging
idk
 
stackoverflow.com/c/charcoal/a/52/24 I'm not the downvoter but my experience is that the "Undo is generally available" part isn't really true
not meant as criticism but like everybody else Undo has a life
and sometimes the time zone differences make it hard to reach him when something's up in the middle of the night his time
 
@tripleee can undo undo things when undo _undo_es things or is he undoing the point of undoing the undo to begin with?
Can I undo that joke?
 
2:21 PM
New metasmoke user 'Pankaj' created
 
@quartata I saw that too, it's got -2 now :O Again not me ..
 
@Magisch waffles
 
@ArtOfCode comments are broken on mobile but if !!/stopflagging doesn't work then that sure isn't going to
I'm envisioning a scenario where MS isn't responding
 
@quartata comments are working for me on mobile...
MS totally unresponsive is basically unheard of
 
@tripleee I honestly don't see what's wrong with me saying that if all else fails that Undo is generally available enough to stop what is essentially a complete meltdown
 
2:25 PM
the only time MS would be unresponsive is if it totally explodes, but the chance of that is extremely rare.
 
Not really?
 
corrupted ram, sending it in a loop
harddrive lockup
 
I can envision tons of programmer mistakes that could cause that
 
memory leak
 
Since we're also talking about autoflagging breaking
 
2:26 PM
I need a spam report to screenshot for a FIRE manual...
 
OK obviously we need to talk about this a bit more since we aren't really all that prepare for a true MS meltdown with Undo holding all the keys
Really what you're saying is not that it's not the only solution in that case but rather that's it not a good solution
 
I propose a big red button
where three signed in trusted member must opt in to push together to activate :P
which activates a shutdown sequence
 
@quartata I don't have any major objection, maybe the wording is a bit optimistic compared to the urgency in a situation where really you would like to get things out of critical ASAP
 
@Cerbrus like a Smoke Detector message in chat, or what?
 
2:32 PM
@tripleee Oh I don't mean the answer, I don't care. I mean the procedure
 
the last spam was a lot of chat messages ago.
 
like do we need to be better prepared
 
@Glorfindel Preferably one that's not deleted yet
 
what else can we do

An MS meltdown isn't going to happen. More to the point, it doesn't matter in most contexts if it does. Just kill smokey and metasmoke doesn't get any data and can't do any damage.
 
@quartata You're talking about a meltdown in which at least three things have to pile up: (1) I'm gone enough that I can't get to my phone (usually I see pings but don't handle them right away), (2) MS fails in a way that causes autoflagging to flag more than desired (which has never happened), but yet (3) doesn't respond to stopflagging or the web UI
 
A data breach is the only case in which killing smokey won't help, but a data breach isn't also going to lock up metasmoke - so, I'll have the necessary tools to kill the breach.
 
And yeah, kill Smokey.
 
Shame it's a FP, but I've got a screenshot.
 
Seen that in Chrome
 
@Ferrybig yes, in Chrome
 
Maybe we need a name for this strategy as a more generic thing. We have ton of bricks enforcement where we don't do moderation because we don't need to; what do we call it when we don't make plans or policy because we don't need to?
