Ask Ubuntu General Room

@arda do private rooms exist? I thought we only had galleries.

@Zacharee1 mods can set up private rooms

@Zacharee1 there are, mods can lock a gallery room so only he and the user involved can join

Ah. Well that's a good idea, but no reason to bash Panda about it so much.

10:02 PM

agreed

@Videonauth that reminds me, I need to serial down vote you about 3000 times :p

oh only that much?

I think a 6k rep drop is sufficient :p

well that are only Internet numbers

the way i see it, arda is trying to prevent panda from getting banned himself. i don't think we want panda to get banned

10:04 PM

Certainly not

@Zacharee1 I agree, but I basically started by telling him to not post stuff here (possible ban) and seek help from CMs etc.

But the 'top' was a little harsh in delivery

pretty sure we all had panda's interests in mind even if the delivery wasn't perfect

yes but zach is saying it so arda can learn from it too

@arda it also sounded like you implied he was a bad person for doing so

10:05 PM

See you later, people

But a lot of my inferences have been wrong lately...

@Zacharee1 Sorry, had only ~4hr of sleep

*Bidoof ran away*

lucky you lol

@Videonauth nice

4 hours of sleep i dream of :p

10:06 PM

@Videonauth not literally of course.

daydreaming

who doesn't daydream...

Brb

Why is this getting downvoted? askubuntu.com/questions/801479/…

10:10 PM

to broad, unclear what exactly he is asking, mostly opinion based answers possible

not a question for askubuntu tbh

remember that a downvote can be given for a lack of research, which this question clearly demonstrates

Yeh thats true

I think the reason behind closing that type of question is that an answer would have to be a book

or a link only answer :p like lmgtfy.com

I would upvote that tbh

10:13 PM

but trying to right something by doing wrong yourself isn't appropriate

This is Ask Ubuntu, not Ask Philosophy :p

@Videonauth if only politicians also follow that, world is probably better ;)

true :p

10:16 PM

The edit approving system how does it work can a mod approve it or can only the owner of the post approve it?

@Zacharee1 as in chris christie?

Yes

@Cyber_Star you either have two 3k rep users approve it or if the post owner approves it the same happens you get 2 points for your edit

@Cyber_Star OP himself/herself or 2 2k users

@Cyber_Star any two users over 2k rep (cc everyone saying 3k)

10:18 PM

or 2k its so long already that i was at that mark :p

feels like an eternity

oh ok :) sorry i'm pretty new to this Q&A site lel

No need to brag @Videonauth

@Cyber_Star tip: don't call it a forum. People hate it when you call a Q&A site a forum

it is like calling a directory a folder

Seth might even ban you for it :p

How do you acctually get some many damm reputation :p

10:19 PM

@edwinksl wat

@Cyber_Star answer and ask stuff well

never call a directory a folder please

hahahahah @edwinksl

@edwinksl why

Well i'm gonna go cya all! :)

Is it because Windows calls it a folder?

@Cyber_Star kk

10:21 PM

@Zacharee1 that and they are different concepts too

Directory (computing)

In computing, a directory is a file system cataloging structure which contains references to other computer files, and possibly other directories. On many computers, directories are known as folders, catalogs (catalog was used on the Apple II, the Commodore 128 and some other early home computers as a command for displaying disk contents; the filesystems used by these did not support hierarchal directories), or drawers to provide some relevancy to a workbench or the traditional office file cabinet. Files are organized by storing related files in the same directory. In a hierarchical filesystem...

They are?

Seems folder is acceptable

i am sure there are discussions of this on SU :P but i am too hungry to dig them up

Gtg

now @terdon and his OED would be good :) would love to hear whats OED says about both words

well im off to bed too before im freezing here, this flu still has me in its grip
