@Slate Two burried pennies: One burried penny+ the question gets an upvote ?

You're looking for the wrong little stipulation. My hint is that the stipulation acts as a check to prevent misuse of the site to get the hat.

@Slate The upvote by the editor won't trigger it.

@Rob this post should clear up why those urls exist

Q: The Lord of the Hats: The Return of the Chicken 🐔

...Also known as "The Quest for the Winter Chicken of the Bash, Part 3" (part 2 here). So, winter has come again. As every year, the staff members try their best to hide some funny Easter eggs, hoping no one would notice them too soon. And as every year, their attempts are fooled by a single me...

it was all part of an easter egg back in 2018.

starting with "/chicken", every animal sent you to the next one... until you came to "/deer", that pointed to a troll video on youtube

as for shark... after being unlucky enough to hear the "baby shark" song just once, I personally requested Yaakov to add that url in... and he granted my wish.

Rob

@SPArcheon or at least, this answer does: meta.stackexchange.com/a/319931/282094 - some URLs return(ed?) the next animal while others lead to a YouTube video.

I'm glad I forgot that song, several hours later.

This can be tested if this answer recieves three(upvote by the editor won't be included I think) more votes.

nobody

@Wolgwang answer or question?

Wolgwang

@nobody Answer

Why does everyone except me have spotting scope and/or satellite view?

Xnero

@nobody Cast close votes and do close vote reviews.

Wolgwang

@nobody Or flag questions/answers...

nobody

I do cast plenty of close votes, I just don't often do it in the review queues.

Xnero

@Wolgwang I don't think that will help.

Wolgwang

@Xnero Why?

nobody

@Wolgwang how do you invite a user to chat? Richardec might be able to tell us how he got cleanup.

SPArcheon

17:23

no xmas hat this year? Weird.

Wolgwang

@nobody They are on chat.SO FYI.

@Wolgwang Weird how you linked to their chat profile but the onebox seems to links to their site profile.

Wolgwang

Hmm

@nobody https://chat.stackoverflow.com/users/17242583/richardec

@SPArcheon maybe only on the 25th?

SPArcheon

@Vickel Timezones. Should already be the 25 in Japan...

Vickel

@SPArcheon yeah, you are right, normally it is UTC +-12h. Must be a supersecret hat then :)

in WB Starring Room - Stack Overflow on Stack Overflow Chat, 1 min ago, by richardec

On Dec 15, I raised these flaged which were later (>95% on the same day) marked as helpful:
nln - 18
naa - 30
vlq - 8
spam - 2
r/a - 3

^ Some part of the above probably earnt richardec his cleanup hat.

Wolgwang

@nobody Can mere mortals know these from users profile?

nobody

No. (Atleast, I dn't think so.)

Wolgwang

:-/

@nobody Can we(mere mortals) ask Catija to give her flag counts? :-/

nobody

@Wolgwang You can try :) Last time I tried, she didn't

Wolgwang

17:56

@Catija Have you raised any flags in seasoned advice.SE ? (Can you reply as a user?)

Wolgwang

18:18

@nobody Now I think about it. How can you say it related to flags?

Dec 21 at 17:21, by Catija

I can answer that it's possible to get as a user but it's much easier for a mod.

Why will a mod flag posts instead of nuking them?

:-/

nobody

@Wolgwang I don't think it's related to flagging, rather I think it is related to deleting stuff. For a normal user, the only way to participate in that would be through flagging.

Wolgwang

Hmm

nobody

And that also explains why it is easier for mods. They can just go nuke, a normal user has to flag and wait for it to be approved.

I may be wrong though.

Wolgwang

Hmm

@nobody Only two users have that hat?

nobody

@Wolgwang Only two that I could find. There may be more.
