aye, feels spammy anyway

sd 2k

Yvette

yep and I edited it out of two of the users other posts

turned out had self promotion in every post across the site.

ArtOfCode

@Undo ^ might be worth pinging him a mod message - undisclosed self promotion

PeterJ

@Yvette Can you leave another comment on them, I suspect the English.SE would be declined if a mod saw it now.

Undo

@ArtOfCode that'd be one approach

ArtOfCode

@Undo destroy being the other?

Undo

16:10

Yeah

Although some of these seem like they want to be decent answers

ArtOfCode

Great minds...

and fools

Undo

16:11

some folks tend to lean towards destroying, some lean toward messaging

I tend to message

ArtOfCode

much the same here

still can't tell if great minds or fools though :)

Yvette

bit of both I think

Undo

fools are the ones who spend more then three seconds deciding between destroying and messaging :P

Which includes me

ArtOfCode

Only on SO. Us smaller sites have the time to spend deciding ;)

Yvette

you guys are funny

Undo

16:15

Yeah, there's some truth there

PeterJ

@Undo Wait what??? You only got my vote in the election because I was sure you'd be like a Dalek and exterminate everything.

ArtOfCode

@Yvette Can't be a mod without some sense of humour, you'd go insane.

Yvette

I voted for Undo, cos of the avatar, too cute

ArtOfCode

Well, SO mods are insane anyway, but we don't talk about that

Undo

@PeterJ I've only destroyed just under 300 users.

@ArtOfCode you seem to be intoning that we're not insane anyway

ArtOfCode

16:17

@Undo cough

@Undo think I've done what, 10?

Yvette

hey any of us who tirelessly volunteer here, and tend to the site like it's a beloved rose garden are all a bit nutty :)

ArtOfCode

There is that.

Undo

Handling a big pile of flags, then refreshing the page to see the blue number go up adds to the insanity meter just a little bit.

4

ArtOfCode

get mor mod

Yvette

@Undo what do I have to do to convince you to change smokie's avatar to beautiful unicorn across all the sites?

Undo

16:18

Sometimes I'll sit down and handle 90% of the disputed LQ review flags. That's, like, 100ish flags. It's back at 100 within about twelve hours.

Yvette

@ArtOfCode please help me nag upon this matter (re SD avatar)

Undo

lol

Smokey's had this one for a loooooooooong time

ArtOfCode

@Yvette hm. I'd probably be more tempted to get a proper logo.

Undo

pretty sure it's actually the default one.

Yvette

PPPPPPPPLLLLllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeee‌eeeeee

ArtOfCode

16:19

@Undo it's a gravatar, yeah

Yvette

of course it is! (pretty sure.. heavens above!)

pst Art, he did mention something about insanity

Undo

@ArtOfCode If you can come up with something that works at small scales... sure why not

Yvette

double pst I hope Undo is a male

ArtOfCode

@Undo picks up graphics pen

Undo

Statistically, that'd be a fairly safe assumption

Yvette

16:20

@Undo a UNICORN!!!! please please please

true, but you never know

ok I will draw one

Undo

Smokey's messages would look so weird for a day or two if we changed that

@ArtOfCode I really wouldn't mind having a few more around

I hardly ever step on toes. Only time that really happens is on spam flags.

It's... kinda like Big Sky Theory. So much space that you're prolly not going to encounter anyone else.

[ SmokeDetector ] Blacklisted user: Is there any ONLINE tool with permissions management for Office 365? by BeingDinu on sharepoint.stackexchange.com …

Undo

eh, worth blacklisting?

ArtOfCode

serial self-promoter... probably, yeah

Seth

@Undo just 300? :P

I guess that's actually a lot for such a short time ;)

Undo

16:25

I wonder if it'd make sense to have blacklisted users only count for posts made after the blacklisting

Yvette

ok new SD avatar

PeterJ

^^ chat needs downvotes lol

Yvette

LOLOL

oh c'mon it's professional

Now I officially have contributed to smoke detector Bahahahahaha

Seth

:S

Yvette

next minute Yvette disappears, Undo exterminates LOL

@Seth I have 113 helpful flags on Ask Ubuntu, I don't even know what a buntu is, a type of camel?

Seth

16:32

@Yvette a linux distribution.

Yvette

ok now I've cleared the room with bad humour, I'm going to go back to bed and try to sleep again. Night

@Seth it was a joke :/ LOL (a buntu?) I think it's really funny

I went and asked a buntu the other day?
Oh yeh, what did it say?
Nuthin' it was too busy chewing grass

Seth

oh. I'm terribly bad a jokes.

Yvette

me too, my kids run to leave the room.

it's hard to tell when someone is joking when the jokes just not funny

:29293011 f just crazy anime person

Undo

@Yvette It's pronounced 'you bun too', no matter what the purists tell you :P

Yvette

@Undo now that could be the format of a lot richer jokes

Undo

16:37

If you really want to see some fireworks, post a question with a title like this: "Help installing youbuntue on computer"

Yvette

what do you think of SDs new avatar ^^^

or ... would you prefer the unicorn ...

Undo

your arguments for the unicorn are uncannily compelling

that might actually work

Yvette

this is that show with the man eating plant and the dentist isn't it?

.imdb.com/title/tt0054033

it looks like the plant from Little Shop of Horrors

ArtOfCode

it's just plain ole fire

Undo

@ArtOfCode done, clear your cache

It's not square, though, so it gets a little cut off at the edges

ArtOfCode

don't even need to :)

want me to make it square?

Undo

16:47

meh

ArtOfCode

65 pixels on the top and bottom, and it'll be square

it's 646x512

Undo

that's a lot of pixels :P

ArtOfCode

Yep, I can never tell how big things are going to save until I save them with this tablet.

infinite canvas and all that

I still find it amusing how many chat suspensions smokey has.

If you didn't know who it was, you'd think it was a serious problem user.

Ferrybig

Why would smokey even get a chat suspension in the first place?

Undo

for science

oh, and the AU room offensive-flagged a bunch of its stuff a while back

ArtOfCode

16:55

how long did it get suspended for?

1184050 days, that's right

Ferrybig

Probably 30 minutes, as thats the max ban length

Undo

@Ferrybig not... not even close

Seth

@Undo they did?

I do not remember this.

PSA: Please do not flag messages from the smoke detector. Thank you.

Seth

oh yes. I remember that now.

ArtOfCode

16:56

I wonder what the maximum suspension is.

Seth

I wasn't there at the time though..

ArtOfCode

Time for Science.

Undo

@ArtOfCode Blaze has a handy account sitting around somewhere

that's a good Science platform

ArtOfCode

Neat

Seth

or just look at Undo's account.

Andy

17:00

@ArtOfCode That puts it pretty solidly in the mid-53rd century.

Seth

he had a maximum suspension once.

Andy

Smokey's offspring will have eliminated terrestrial spammers by then

Seth

wait, did you get the history cleared somehow @Undo? o_O

ArtOfCode

Doesn't like 9999999999...

Seth

@ArtOfCode POST it ;)

there is a hard limit, but it's bigger than what the box lets you do.

ArtOfCode

17:01

@Seth Just remove the length limiter from the input field, same thing

By default you can do max 9999

Seth

@ArtOfCode oh hah, I forgot it was that easy xD

ArtOfCode

28417200 hours is what Smokey got

SmokeDetector

[ SmokeDetector ] Offensive answer detected: Node.js version of Apache's Rewrite Rule by MarshalBanana on stackoverflow.com …

ArtOfCode

but you can go up from there

Undo

@Seth no, it just doesn't show annotations on diamonds accounts or something

Seth

17:03

yeah it does..

look at mine.

Undo

chat.stackexchange.com/admin/annotations//73046

... huh

That's weird

Ferrybig

That the url has 2 times / after each other?

Seth

@Undo maybe it got lost when the annotation view was added.

ArtOfCode

Huh. So the server accepts 99999999, but still takes it down to 1184050 days. That must be the limit.

Andy

@Undo So, what I'm seeing is that you hacked in the database and removed your suspensions but forgot to remove the unsuspensions.

Sloppy work, man

ArtOfCode

17:06

I've always wanted to see what the effect of anonymizing messages is...

Undo

@ArtOfCode I think it just anonymizes the messages :P

ArtOfCode

Aye, but I've never seen it done

Seth

@ArtOfCode so the server accepts more than the box lets you even without the blocking HTML? Or had you just not tested that far yet?

Andy

Who wants to try if it accepts Bobby Tables?

ArtOfCode

@Seth eh? The box lets you submit 9999. Without the length restriction, you can submit up to 99999999, but that gets rounded down to 28417200.

@Andy Somehow, I think SE are a little more intelligent than that.

Seth

17:09

@ArtOfCode that's what I wanted to know. Thanks.

ArtOfCode

The server returns 500 ISE for anything over 99999999.
