Hey @JamesRisner
hey quick
Step 1:
Post 12 comments here:
https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/448387
This is part of two Hats from previous years. It is 4 steps to cover both Hats.
@ me when you back, I'll be away
Hey @JamesRisner I am back
Let's start
Shoot. I've got up to step 7 planned right now.
clears 3 prior year hats.
(and another 15 or 20 to try)
03:04
Let's start
(tonight or not ;-)
13 mins ago, by James Risner
Step 1:
Post 12 comments here:
https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/448387
Start there please
Might rate limit ya?
@JamesRisner By the way, could you vote my top show off your hats answer this year, might trigger four ayes
the one with 9 votes, you cant revert your hats after 30 mins
I'm leary on up-voting that changes rep
03:08
Ok then, hope it comes naturally
It will, I get constant votes on min since this morning ;-)
ok, I'll need to edit that post. bear with me please
I did step 1
No problem
Step 4:
Delete the 12 comments
Step 2 you mean :)
I did 2 (upvote them)
I also did 3 (edit post)
you do 4: delete them.
03:11
Ah
Done
sorry I leave out info in chat something - I think people can know my thoughts or something ;-)
Step 5:
Comment on 11 other posts of mine on apple.stackexchange.com
you do please
then I'll edit them
One comment per post?
you pick which ones
03:15
Done
Step 6:
Find a user's first post (new contributor) that you like and upvote

Step 7:
I edit those 12 posts.
Here is my non rep changing upvote request: meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/422213/…
@U12-Forward 4 more votes should give me Over 9000
over 9000 is 10 votes you think?
sec.
Over 9000:
The 9000 is a red herring.
https://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/141302?m=62585998#62585998
Unrelated to totalling to 9000 or more.
https://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/62575689#62575689
Not from earning a gold badge.

https://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/62586061#62586061

- edited both Q&A
@Steffan yes I think so, for questions on per-site-metas

Q: Is www.lirik.live/soal-https-stackoverflow.com a phishing site?

YenneferI accidentally hit this question from Google Search (written in code on purpose to prevent others to open it) while logged in on SO. https://www.lirik.live/soal-https-stackoverflow.com/questions/72185081/hide-show-parameters-based-on-a-condition-in-azure-devops-pipelines-yaml# After a while, I n...

That's my file on over 9000
Exactly, try with mine, I am at 6, 4 away :)
One from previous years is a comment getting 3 upvotes. Think we could find some others willing to hammer a comment with ups?
Thanks! @Steffan
so unrelated to totalling to more than 9000, but you think related to totalling more than 9?
03:27
@Steffan Very possible
I'm not convinced but okay
Jon Clements had no activity on stackoverflow during WB, yet he got the hat on Stackoverflow
He only used Meta for one question
what if you don't need to even ask a question?
Which was and a lot of upvotes
it might not have to be
03:29
Quite possible too
oo many edits

You have already edited 10 of your own posts today (not including very recent posts). Further edits are not allowed until tomorrow.

Please contact a moderator if you require assistance.
I'll need to wait until tomorrow to finish Step 7
Don't delete those comments yet (that is step 8)
@U12-Forward over 9000?
Ok
@JamesRisner Yes
So jon got it on stackoverflow but his only question was on Meta?
Yes
That's why I want to try it with my question
ok what you need me to do?
I put a comment on it.
03:43
Thanks!
You upvoted it right?
It's meta, no rep.
@JamesRisner I've got that before on CGCC but it was like 30 edits or something, not 10.
(I was editing answers adding explanations)
@Steffan H
Ah
Think apple is stingy on edits
@U12-Forward did you find and upvote a nice genuine upvote new contributor?
(Step 6)
the thing is, how would that relate to you getting a hat?
that doesn't make sense
03:46
It won't
it checks if we discovered the trigger.
I'm just adding to my list of 20+ trigger eliminated.
Step 8:
Post a chat message that gets 3 stars.
I'd also like to eliminate that one (3star chat)
@JamesRisner Yes
30 mins ago, by U12-Forward
Done step 6 with https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/452101/how-to-switch-to-displayport-on-2008-macbook-without-os-x
Step 9:
I post 3 comments under a user's first post

Step 10:
you upvote those comments.
I'll post them on that Step 6
Step 11:
We wait to see user3169 takes my advice and updates their post - Post two po
sitively scored comments under a user's first post and the OP edits the question
after the comment
I'm following the Step 6 post so we know if they took the advice and edited.
This is a previous year:
Soapbox
Ask a question with the discussion tag on a meta site that gets a score
of 2 or more and receives 2 or more answers.
Gregorio Y. Zara & Emperor's New Hat can't be this. {Kadir}
Ah
I just got Over 9000!
Wow!
03:57
Woot
so SOMEthing we did is it.
I think it's for 9 upvotes in a discussion meta question
where you get 9?
On StackOverflow
on Meta
link?
no, sorry
where you get 9?
9
Q: Merge the tags [indexoutofrangeexception] and [outofrangeexception]

U12-ForwardThere are these two tags: indexoutofrangeexception with 399 questions. outofrangeexception with 250 questions. These tags have very similar tag wiki excerpt and also are used for the same type of questions. Both of them are used for the "Index out of range" errors in many different programmin...

03:58
"over 9000"?
the idea of it being 9
(I like the idea)
sec let me get my list of over 9000's
still looking....
too many files
Wow
I am so close to 4 Ayes I think
04:05
what you think 4 ayes is?
also which one of those steps you think is over 9000?
@JamesRisner 5 continuous days of getting upvotes on a certain post, so I need one here
9
A: Show off your hats! (2022 edition)

U12-ForwardI will join you on the stage! snail noises...

Ok, based on timing it looks like the post 12 comments -> up them
You got a post you want me to 12 comment and you up?
@U12-Forward I'm only at 2 days.
12 in
You up them, then edit the post to improve it.
One prior year is them getting an up. The other is deleting, so will wait 30 min to delete
Sreffan left us ;-)
@U12 meta.stackexchange.com/users/295232 he is exactly 5 day in and got 4ayes
I think it's probably an up a day for 4 days?
04:23
sorry going to bed
You great! No need to be sorry
I was mostly joking
sleep
I think we know over 9000 and Four ayes now
@JamesRisner I need an upvote so bad
@Steffan Good night!
where do you get the idea that 4 ayes is 5 continuous days of getting upvotes on a certain post?
if that theory is true then 4 makes more sense still
04:27
Wait, so 4ayes being 4 or 5 days of ups? 9000 being related to the comment thing right? Or you thinking the [discussion]?
@Steffan not sure, but I like the theory and glorf matches when he got his
Plus a LOT of people got 4ay today
yesterday it was 43
er 3
today I stopped counting at 15
is it specific to date?
Where do you see the stats?
long time viewing the leaderboards
i'm not kidding that I've been up today 18 hours doing NOTHING but stats
on this.
and I got exactly 1 hat for my troubles so far
04:29
lol you must get tired
that sounds exhausting
been 30 mins since up vote
I'm being yelled at by my partner, but this is all I've done since friday 4pm. A total of 3 hours sleep.
lmao
(fri night + sat night sleep = 3)
I've eliminated a TON from SEDE scripts I wrote this morning after SEDE update
@JamesRisner Wow very impressive
you dont fall asleep in ur chair?
04:31
You should get an award for that :)
Stuff like this:
Answer a question with an already accepted answer, get upvotes
Answer +7 with no comments on Q or A
Answer in 30 min, +3 and accepted
Answer own question
why do it when someone else can and you see they get no hat you don't know about
going on second 24 pack of 12 oz caf
lmao what
25 * 12 = 300 oz of caffeine so far
I'm determined
Whaaat?
(since friday afternoon)
04:34
how did you drink 20 pounds of coffee
my normal is 5x 12 ounce a day, so this isn't much of an increase ~ 9 aday
WHAT
how do you drink that much coffee
anyway im going now
@U12-Forward Step 11:
Post two positively scored comments under a user's first post and the OP edi
ts the question after the comment - Done
@U12-Forward you still with me?
@JamesRisner I'm back
What's my next step?
04:49
ok 27 mins no 9000 I'll delete those now.
Give me a minute. If you got a second this gets badges on other profiles for me. Can you save these?
https://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/62592430#62592430
Think you know two others we can find tonight?
Step 8: --- TO DO --- Need 4 people
Post a chat message that gets 3 stars. (Mariachi)
2
Ok, only two more things really:
Mariachi (chat message gets 3 stars)
Soapbox - Q w/[discussion] on meta that gets +2 votes and 2 answers
05:42
Aha
So I still not gotten 9000
so it's not the 12 comment up
Must been the "Comment on 11 other posts of mine"
If you be up for a bit I'll do that, and you edit them?
@JamesRisner Uving this one would give me the four ayes on stackoverflow stackoverflow.com/questions/74819681/…
Hi @turivishal
I, unfortunately, am too much of a rules follower to do it
so what is the deal with the meta? is emp confirmed now?
05:53
@JamesRisner What is the trigger.for emperor?
Oh I mixed up. you all still talking about 4ayes
@U12 I'm going to hit you with 10 comments on Stackoverflow, can you edit them when I get done? If you have time tonight? ---- think that's the 9000 trigger "over 9"
No
I think 9000 is for meta question tagged discussion with 9 score or.more
@U12-Forward yup
Thanks @turivishal
06:20
@U12-Forward so you got it from the Show us your hat post that hit 10?
06:30
No, from a stackoverflow post.
06:45
Oh the out of bounds?
I've been thinking the tags for apple m1/m2/silicon are bad. Think I should write one for that?
You could try yeah
07:24
Starting to fall down. see you again in 4 hrs ;-)
07:43
How does this guy have the Gregorio hat on stackoverflow
@JamesRisner
We don't know how to get it
Doesn't look like suggestions, edits, or otherwise.
So It's likely one of these "other people do it to you"
08:44
Someone wanting unflagging, flag these thank you comments will get you half way there:

If you need stuff to flag there are a lot of Not-An-Answer reported by Natty in SOBotics you can easily make 100 flags a day if you camp there all day :')
Thanks for that, good tip. I dumped a batch here for whoever needs.
Thanks
@eran you can try NAA or I'll get you another batch tomorrow
only try to thank you ones if the page has more than just thank yous
09:26
@JamesRisner thanks, but I already flagged enough to get unflagging.
For some reason I don't have Chatterbox on SO, yet. I was sure I qualified yesterday.
@Eran Chatterbox tracks your chat parent user
change your parent user and send one message to get it on another site
@mousetail I don't understand. How do I do that?
Go to yoor chat profile and there is a button to change your parent user
I think I just did. thanks!
So I need one more block of text
09:42
Ok
Maybe now Ill get it
yep, got it. Thanks for the help!
