@Izzy got a flag for u

LQ for sure. But do we give him a chance first? What's our premise here: VLC ASAP, or wait a little for a possible edit?

I mean, VLQ does not close the Q immediately. Does the flag get removed when the Q is edited?

danijelc

um lets wait he was online when I left comment maybe will react fast

Izzy

@danijelc The Q is just 5 min old. Give him 5 more :)

danijelc

Actually maybe since we re beta we should give like sometime to new users

so idk lets agree to give some specific time frame for new user to improve answers and questions

Izzy

That was my idea. Still the question: Flag nevertheless? Flagging is just "setting a mark", not "putting it down". @Gilles? Now that I've got da powerz, that's right with you modz?

danijelc

8:37 PM

Point is I really dislike how AU looks with shitloads of question which could be deleted immediately so i really hope we wont become like that

Izzy

Heck, so what. I VLQ that one, and VTC the other. If OP decides to improve, it can always be re-opened. Housecleaning...

danijelc

Izzy

Wooosh!

Oh, another Woosh! goes in a few min. That LQ got a "Close" button on me in the flag queue #D

Braiam

need... repz...

Izzy

8:41 PM

@danijelc He.wantz.close.button :)

danijelc

aww see how much noob I em

Izzy

He.wantz.wooosh.too :)

@danijelc as you've commented on that one: ping me if OP improves, so I may revert my VTC?

danijelc

Izzy

Tnx! Wooosh! it goes again. Hm, flags all gone :)

danijelc

just since he had activity after comment but noting he will probably get close vote from me soon

Izzy

8:44 PM

Haz 2 already.

danijelc

Izzy

That's one thing I hate. The MetaCollider™ still shows me 1 flag to be worked on. But that's the one I already did – so clicking the mark gives me an empty queue :(

danijelc

actually this happen often

i believe that was since someone was faster

at leat for first posts and reopen or close votes

Braiam

@Izzy the flag count only change when mods handle the flags...

danijelc

other words @izzy ur work is useless :)

Q: Please update the Help Center's "What topics can I ask about here?"

The SE podcast summary lured me to Software Recommendations. I've had a question for a while now that my gut told me would be on topic. As a moderately active SE citizen I wanted to be careful though (remembering the "no shopping list questions" mantra), so I went to the Help Center's "What topi...

Whoa whoa did the same guy really post two almost-exact-same answers here?

A: Windows Software to identify and tag MP3's BPM

I don't use it much and the application is less mature than Traktor but rekordbox is free and also used among DJs (and has key recognition too).

Izzy

@Undo Warned him already concerning quality. Was about VTC if I had that button on answers.

It is not just a link and a screenshot. Mentioning it is used by DJs was aimed at indicating the BPM is accurate, which might interest the OP. I don't feel the need to discuss other features since the OP focuses on BPM. — Franck Dernoncourt 1 hour ago

@Undo He does not feel the need to improve.

Undo

Well, I feel the need to improve them. By deleting them.

Objections?

Izzy

@Undo NO! DO IT!

Undo

Wonderful.

sets to work

Izzy

@Undo Au contraire! Encouragement!

I mean, how many warnings did he get?

3 alone on one of them.

Undo

11:30 PM

A bunch

Izzy

@Undo actually you even do him a favour (re-gaining lost rep ;)

11:48 PM

@Izzy no entiendo. Can you rephrase that in English, or give the missing context (I read the messages before yours, it's about flagging, but I still don't understand what you're asking)?

Izzy

@Gilles Needed to check again to get the context :) I was referring to the flags, now that I've got access to mod tools (2k). I try to sum up:

A new user asks a Q, missing our quality-part. I of course leave a comment in such cases, so OP can improve. No for the quiz: Flag+VTC(too broad/whatever) ASAP, or give the OP some time to react?

Undo

Flag+VTC ASAP, IMO

Izzy

I mean: VTC doesn't do anything to the Q itself, and even "hold" is revertable.

Undo

We'll (try) to look at how the post was when you flagged, not how it is now.

Izzy

@Undo Agree.

@Undo Just want to not cause unnecessary work for you. But trouble is: If not acted upon immediately, one forgets.

Undo

11:56 PM

I used to be playing the 'post comment and give time to respond before deleting answer' game and then found out that OPs actually receive a notification for comments left right before a mod deletes an answer. Not a 1:1 fit here, but it's an example.

Izzy

Hence I thought exactly what you just proposed: Flag+VTC ASAP, IMO

Undo

@Izzy Meh, I live to handle flags. Yay flags!

Izzy

@Undo OK, you asked for it :)

Undo

yay!
