TRPG General Chat

@ThomasMarkov Because it isn't the kind of question that displays our site well. I read the question and my instincts were telling me that was the the kind of thing that is a thinly disguised rant or posted while OP was upset and the actual issue is unclear. From experience those types of posts attract the kind of network attention we don't want, low quality answers, sensationalist drama. Often we would end up protecting or removing from HNQ anyway. So I pre-empted it.

And I'm going to follow that up with a polite request. Please don't make a habit of double checking and following up on mod actions. We take action where necessary to the best of our judgement. Please trust that if I do something I had a good reason. I'll try to be as transparent as I can, but having to explain or justify everything I do doubles the workload of mod activities.

Q: How to handle breath weapon recharge when combat is interrupted?

I have a question about monster abilities that recharge, like a dragon’s breath weapon. Is the ability considered “charged” on the first round of combat, no roll required? If the answer to that is “yes,” what’s to prevent a dragon from swooping down from a great height, breathing fire on a party,...

Q: Is there any lore regarding the calendar of Sigil?

For the sake of keeping track of my campaign, I've been looking for any guidance regarding the structure of a year in Sigil. In my searching, I've found a wiki page associated with a Neverwinter Nights roleplay server, but this page doesn't have any sources listed. I'm aware that the time of day ...

Do closed questions no longer enter review queues after their first edit?

Finally found something on it, I guess it's body edits only

A: Lots of questions in the reopen queue

On September 6th, 2013, the automatic triggers for putting questions into the reopen queue changed. They were tweaked repeatedly over the years and, as of December 20th, 2019, a closed question will automatically be added to the reopen queue when it is... ...Edited (body edits only) within 70 da...

Apparently if you were one of the people who voted to close a question, your edits can't send it into the review queue

Akixkisu

@Medix2 if you are curious about my recent edit, I exploited a review-queue feature to prevent it going into the queue.

Medix2

Apparently you didn't even have to since you voted to close it

Also, what sort of exploit?

Akixkisu

It is not an exploit, it is exploiting a feature. That of the checkmark in the queue, whether the edit resolves the original problems of closure.

I would 100% say exploiting a feature is, by definition, an exploit XD

Akixkisu

The feature is working as intended :)

Medix2

But yeah TIL I can edit questions I close freely

I kinda want to test this to see if it's really true ngl

Akixkisu

What part do you want to test?

Medix2

Whether editing questions I close voted less than 70 days ago actually doesn't send them into the review queue

And apparently if I edit a question and that edit sends it into the review queue and then I cast a reopen vote on the question, I actually remove it from the queue 0_0

I truly don't understand that design choice
