@ArtOfCode, thanks for pinging the EE mod I mentioned yesterday in TL, I noticed he's gone through quite a few answers and they now have the spam banner. As mentioned he does a great job in general and was my #1 vote in the election so good to get it sorted relatively privately.
You could've used an example without the profanity, we are flagged to profanity and it creates work for us, can you please change your example to clean it up? — Yvette3 mins ago
@Yvette this is clearly mention and not use. I was actually about to mark it as a false positive for smokey.
ELU allows profanity as long as it is used to illustrate a grammatical point and not directed at anyone.
Granted, it wasn't absolutely necessary here, but it's still within the rules.
@terdon I honestly thought it was a gratuitous use of profanity in the circumstances. It was uncalled for. There has to be a limit and a standard at some point. If the question involved profanity I could understand it, but it had nothing to do with it. I did not black list the user and I stand by my view. Sorry.
@Yvette Hey, no worries, I was just letting you know that the mention of profanity is allowed on ELU. Not its use, mind you, but its mention. I quite agree that it wasn't necessary in that particular instance, but I wanted to point out that it was also not explicitly against the site's rules. That's all.
@Yvette It's also probably best to avoid "we are alerted to <> and it creates work for us" statements -- that doesn't explain why the behavior is bad, etc. ;)
@sandwich But if you go to someone and say "I'm gonna tase you", they have to think about it for a few seconds. If you saw "I'm gonna taser you", the desired effect sets in immediately.
@hichris123 I'd really like remote. The spouse has a job that can't be done remotely and likes it, so if we move we'd have to find two jobs instead of one. If I can get a remote one, then we can move when she finds another job she likes and not have to worry about me
It also doesn't help that the State can't pay any bills so pretty much everything social service related is shutting down and complaining the state is bad
@hichris123 throws hands into the air and rides the roller coaster Weeeeeeeeeee!
I ran into a similar issue and here is how I solved it.
Not sure what OS the OP is using, but on Linux there is usually a limit on the number of processes per user.
You can see it with ulimit -u (or also ulimit -a).
The definition is a bit of a misnomer, as the limit is actually on the number of...

Finally figured out why my Pi's WiFi was so slow. Turns out power management was on by default - must make the chip go to sleep every so often or something like that.
