@EkadhSingh-ReinstateMonica Yeah, but I think this method (searching for users with low activity and a secret hat, finding common patterns between them) is the best we got.
At https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/security.html they use log4j2.noFormatMsgLookup and log4j2.formatMsgNoLookups
Which is the correct property: log4j2.formatMsgNoLookups or log4j2.noFormatMsgLookup? The last one seems a typo?
Thank you!
@SPArcheon OK, is this why I got the hat without even knowing why? I have a status-completed question but it got it yesterday. Presumably when the trigger was broken? However, I only got the hat at just about 12:00:00Z (a few minutes after).
@CinCout I am pretty sure I did not do such action and I am quite sure about it being related to doing exactly 2 close reviews in a row, both resulting in a duplicate closure (the hat appeared shortly after)
Can I make a suggestion that allows for us to know exactly what you're asking? I think it'd be really helpful if y'all posed guesses in a format like [Hat name]: [guess] with whatever pings you're adding. I'd also appreciate limiting the follow-up long trail. Thoughts?
Like, for that last query by @EkadhSingh-ReinstateMonica, I had to follow the chain up two separate chat messages to even see what the guess and hat was.
Y'all can come up with whatever format you like - something like that with a tag that will stand out isn't a bad idea. I think the important thing is separating actual guesses out and making sure to include the hat and the guess together.
@YaakovEllis I'm not convinced that copying for the "Manual key" hat is working on touchscreen phones, do you have a phone that you can test it on? Thanks.
I've been struggling with getting the hat to work properly, even on my desktop. Most of the day it would not award me the hat ... I had to restart my browser to get it to work.
There's some speculation that the browser fires an Event when the keyboard is used for copying, but I'm selecting with the touchscreen, that's why I ask:
@Catija So based on the hints / guesses above I've copied an answer with the word "question" in it, into an answer on MSE; using Chrome browser, and waiting 10 minutes.
For some reason I just got the "Thought Bubble" on MSE; and I've not been doing anything the past few hours, except the past half hour the copy/paste thing - must be for overthinking things. :)
There's a hidden function in Winter Bash this year that analyzes what hat you're trying to get, and 50% of the time gives you a different hat at random instead.
If we really wanted to mess with people we'd introduce a function that just randomly awards active folks secret hats from time to time, for no reason at all.
Yeah, I'm not sure what's up with the ratio, to be honest. [shrug] Either gotta wait for someone to explain their thinking, or accept that Meta votes are sometimes a bit opaque.
Well, it would be a secret hat this year; or some dislike / disagreement with your question - as Slate said, different voting patterns and reasons here - don't let it wreck your day. 🌞

As long as it's possible to get it using a touchscreen is my only concern, as I don't have a working desktop computer.
