In the film Nerve how do they decide when to announce the finals? Is it like a monthly thing? At the end of the month the players with the most watchers get to compete in the finals?

@AJ it's a licencing thing. Marvel sold the rights to X-Men before the Cinematic Universe and because of that "Mutants" in the MCU are called Inhumans so while Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch have the same powers between the 2 sets of works they end up having to be different. main thing is MCU's version of the 2 aren't Magneto's kids

funny however is that it was MCU that brought them to the screen first since if i recall correctly their appearance in MCU pre-dated Day of Future Past

though MCU would be a bit more fun had the guy who's effectively God in the modern metallic world. after all then it's not just Wolverine that Magneto can toy around like a puppet

curious. is Mjolnir made of metal?

@DhanrajKumar I don't know. I didn't send you the message. From what I can see, it might be from asking a large quantity of questions that don't seem to be well researched and the answers to the questions are easily obtainable simply by watching the movie. I'm just assuming, though.

I'm sure there is a way to reply to the message, though. You're asking a hungover squirrel, here ;)

I didn't know that we could get private messages from mods up in here. Now i want to do something to burn the place down so that I can get a private message :P

Memor-X

@DhanrajKumar i think that reply is kinda meaningless since actions speak louder than works. read up on the links sent to you and see what you are probably doing wrong and improve on it. if you don't understand what it is you're doing wrong you can probably ask here in chat

Dhanraj Kumar

@steelersquirrel actually entrapmenet dont have detailed IMDB synopsis, that is why i generated questions here.

steelersquirrel

@Memor-X Totally! We are all here to help you @DhanrajKumar :)

Memor-X

@steelersquirrel Elected Mods can send privates messages and emails if i recall correctly. generally they are used rarely though

you can also send messages to the Mods via the flags though that's not really a smart idea

@steelersquirrel well obviously for the Mod Abuse. isn't that way @AnkitSharma's a mod?

steelersquirrel

@DhanrajKumar You know...the thing that I did when I was new here? I looked at most of the high rep user's questions and modeled mine after how they asked. I used Catija, Ankit and Napoleon's questions as good examples. I also asked a lot of questions in chat and had one or all of them look at my question after I posted it. Trust me...Napoleon isn't afraid to give anyone constructive criticism ;) But, that's what helped me when I was a new user :)

@steelersquirrel should i ask every question in chat for approval before posting it on SE?

A J

Nope. You don't have to.

You need to take a break and spend some time studying at top questions.

steelersquirrel

@DhanrajKumar Not necessarily. The best thing to do is to think if this question is a well-researched question and an interesting question. Like...you had a couple questions that you asked a few days ago that were interesting. A lot of those Entrapment questions were just easily answerable just by watching a scene in a movie. This community appreciates more well thought out questions. Let me dig up some good examples for you...

@DhanrajKumar Sure. Nobody wants to get banned here and I seriously doubt that it would come to that. You also don't have to get approval from anyone in chat before you post anything, it's just a good thing to do if you're unsure of a question before you post it. It's always good to get feedback.

@DhanrajKumar I'm not sure why you're asking me this. I have no desire to want to decrease anyone's rep on purpose. I have always tried to help you whenever you have asked. I admittedly down voted a few of those Entrapment questions of yours. I will fully admit to doing so, but I have never willingly gone after someone to decrease reputation. I am just trying to help you.

Memor-X

@DhanrajKumar no that just shows that the system is doing it's job. while normally it is targeted voting that's revered it could actually be for any number of reasons since we don't actually know, or will ever know, the exact method the system uses for detecting serial voting

steelersquirrel

Another reason could be that so many questions of the same quality were posted so close together. I don't know. Just a guess.

Memor-X

for instance if i didn't like entrapment and find all questions about it not useful i could down vote them all. because you're the only one to ask it might be seen as targeted voting

@steelersquirrel or that yes

steelersquirrel

I don't know if it's so much the movie itself, but just the quality of the questions about that movie that were asked in a short amount of time. I will upvote a question on a movie that I don't particularly like if it's a good quality question.

@steelersquirrel true but it does read like a question ban warning

Dhanraj Kumar

@steelersquirrel getting private message itself means indirect way to tell me ban from next time onwards.

steelersquirrel

Really? I am not seeing it like that at all. It's just a suggestion to a new user on a pattern of questions that were asked that weren't well received and giving said user suggestions on how to improve.

steelersquirrel

@DhanrajKumar Okay...that doesn't mean that you will get banned.

@DhanrajKumar I don't know. It's up to the mods, I guess. The best thing to do is to use this message and the suggestions in it to improve your questions. If you are doing that and asking for feedback, then I don't really see why you would be banned. I mean...banned is a strong word and from what I understand, it takes a pretty severe case on the main site to be banned.

A J

@DhanrajKumar Do whatever suggested in that message, but don't do anything inappropriate while doing that.

steelersquirrel

People have been suspended lots of times, but still aren't banned. Banned is permanent, I think. That's pretty severe to think that message has any "indirect" message about being banned.

however you guys may have been dealing with it longer

Catija

@DhanrajKumar If you are getting mod messages about voting irregularities, that means that the moderators or Community Managers think that you have multiple accounts and are using them to upvote eachother. This is considered voting fraud and may get you banned from the site along with them destroying all but one of the accounts. Stop voting on your own questions from other accounts.

Entrapment (film)

@Memor-X I like to take charges and I like the feeling of doing something which matters , specially when it's in favour of site I love @steelersquirrel

@DhanrajKumar you don't have to but it helps you can try that too

@DhanrajKumar Nobody want to ban you either that's why my co-mod sent you message as a warning so that our point can reach you and you can act on it

@DhanrajKumar WE were talking about a co-mod that day and none of us can ban him and it was a plain joke and you didn't got it because of not knowing the context

@DhanrajKumar getting private msgs is not end of the world, Even I got one private message form mod here when I was not the moderator and now I am working with the same mod. It's how you learn from the past and how you act upon it.

@DhanrajKumar you also need to calm down a bit, mod message is private thing and you don't need to mention it again and again everywhere. Just take a message and move forward

@DhanrajKumar I can't see any improvement after the closer

@DhanrajKumar You ask a lot of question on single day and tehy are having quality issue and that downvoters didn't realized that they triggered serial voting reversal

Not a big deal

Q: What is serial voting and how does it affect me?

I just noticed that I lost a bunch of points from my reputation score, and I used the "reputation" tab on my user profile page to try and track down the cause. During my investigation, I noticed there was an unusual event of type "reversal". In the normal place of a question title, it says "voti...

support faq reputation voting serial-voting

@steelersquirrel right guess

@SS I think we warned few users in past, no banning I suppose

@SS my votes also got removed few times and same happen to vote given to me few times too for sure

@DhanrajKumar you are way over reacting

@DhanrajKumar nobody is, just calm down now. Just understand that your question are having a repeated quality issue, try to correct it and move on

@DhanrajKumar As I said few msg back, I did got private msg once but never got banned. Private msg!= ban.

@DhanrajKumar did you even tried to improve them?

@Catija because he is confused I suppose :D

@SS Hahaha! There's all kinds of records being broken up in here!! This is mass hysteria!!!

Ankit Sharma

steelersquirrel

A J

Ankit Sharma

2

A J

@AnkitSharma Just add one more a before ansh, it will work.

steelersquirrel

I seriously would have zero clue on what to name a child if I ever had one.

A J

Or keep it as is. It can work in both cases.

S S

08:04

@AnkitSharma Name her Ankita Danielle. :P

Ankit Sharma

@AJ no people use only one facebook.com/public/Ankitansh-Gupta

@SS that's not sexy enough

Dr R Dizzle

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma What??!

steelersquirrel

08:05

Dr R Dizzle

Ankit Sharma

08:06

Dr R Dizzle

Ankit Sharma

steelersquirrel

Ankit Sharma

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma This baby is going to have one really weird taste in movies.

Ixrec

That's your biggest concern?

Ankit Sharma

@DrRDizzle I think he will hate everything

2

Dr R Dizzle

@Ixrec I can't think of anything more pressing.

Ankit Sharma

08:10

@Ixrec Biggest concern is If i have to fight for equal rights or move to UK

steelersquirrel

Just know what to expect when Ankit is in the delivery room:

Dec 2 '15 at 12:57, by Mike Edenfield

"The labor process was objectively bad. The pacing was all wrong, and everyone was late with their cues. The characters were one-dimensional, and plus I wanted a boy and got a girl. It just didn't seem to be the labor it was trying to be."

Ankit Sharma

@DrRDizzle looks like you will be a irresponsible father

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma That is not a shock to me.

Ankit Sharma

Bummer

steelersquirrel

Mike's comment about Dizzle watching his child being born is still one of the funniest frigging things that I have ever read in chat. Hehehehe!

Ankit Sharma

08:12

better I give up my kid for adoption

A J

@steelersquirrel Will you be there with @AnkitSharma? ;)

steelersquirrel

@AJ Hahaha! No. I have seen enough babies born. I wouldn't even want to be present if I were the one giving birth :P

Ixrec

See, the proper criticism would be that we don't really need a scene showing the delivery. It doesn't tell us anything new about the characters or tie in thematically to the rest of Dizzle's origin story. We could've cut straight to them raising the kid with comic ineptitude.

Ankit Sharma

@steelersquirrel that was epicly funny @KutuluMike

steelersquirrel

This sounds like the makings of an awesome sitcom ;)

Dr R Dizzle

08:14

@Ixrec You should always start your story as late as possible, so unless the labour itself is an important aspect of the story...

Ankit Sharma

lol

@steelersquirrel will be our child's godmother and napoleon will be grumpy uncle

Himarm will never be allowed near the kid if he is drunk

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma So, Himarm will just never be allowed near the kid at all.

Ixrec

Or depending on what kind of movie this is, we cut to their child defeating one of the moderators in hand-to-hand combat and being proclaimed the new king of the site.

Or depending on what kind of movie this is, we cut to their now-grown-up child defeating one of the moderators in hand-to-hand combat and being proclaimed the new king of the site.

Ankit Sharma

@DrRDizzle yes

@Ixrec he/she will rule the world not a stupid SE site

steelersquirrel

@AnkitSharma I can see it, now! I will be all "OMG, look! The baby is smiling and being all cute" Napoleon would be all..."Uhuh" :P

Ixrec

08:18

I'd probably have the same reaction

steelersquirrel

"Yeah...it's a miniature human. That's nice"

:P

Q: Why was David wearing so large shoes in the end of Alien Covenant?

After David stores the two alien embryos and he walks through the corridor with sleeping pods, anyone else noticed his shoes were really large? Is there some special reason behind that or are M. Fassbender's feet just big?

character alien-covenant

steelersquirrel

I get the hugest thrill off of babies doing just about anything ;)

A J

Like smelling their heads?

steelersquirrel

YES!!!!!

Ixrec

08:21

@MovieReel wow, Covenant is down to fruit bowl questions already?

Dr R Dizzle

08:31

Ridley Scott's Alien: Covfefe

Ankit Sharma

@steelersquirrel lol

@Ixrec bummer

steelersquirrel

@MovieReel Uhm...have you ever seen a full frontal of Fassbender? Holy Hell! Yeah, of course he has big frigging feet!! ;)

A J

@steelersquirrel full frontal? When?

steelersquirrel

@AJ Uhm...I might have "accidentally" stumbled onto a site that showed him in a full frontal nude pic from a movie. I might have had to give them my credit card information in order to see it. This is all purely circumstantial, though ;)

A J

ohh

Dr R Dizzle

08:46

@steelersquirrel Shame?

And I'm not just saying "Shame on you". Isn't that the film?

steelersquirrel

I don't know. It was about him being a sex addict.

Is that it?

A J

Yes, it is.

steelersquirrel

Well, that's it. Actually, it was my sister's credit card and I totally Blame Mike for introducing me to the site. It's like Mr. Skin...except it has men instead of women.

She was looking up Fassbender's pics and I tripped and stumbled into the room on accident and just happened to see the pic :P

A J

@steelersquirrel Is she a fan of him?

steelersquirrel

@AJ Not really. She just heard that he was uhm..."gifted" and had to see for herself. It was all in the name of science ;)

And I just have a morbid curiosity...so, I had to see too, of course ;)

A J

08:59

@steelersquirrel Ahh science and curiosity. Makes you do many, not that one only, things.
