@echoback, I would suggest just listing the questions here and see what happens.

Q: Situation when the people asking a question is not the best person to choose the best answer

PierreI wonder if there are "superuser rights" that allow hi-rep users to change the accepted answer ? Because, for question about "best pratice" for instance, it's obviously not the one asking the question that will be the best person to choose the right answer...

Have you ever faced an ethical dilemma while communicating with others, professionally? For example, a customer wanted users' passwords to be retrievable or stored as plain text.

How did you respond?

Do you have ethical guidelines which you apply to these situations? Are they your guidelines, or do they come from your employer or a professional organization?

@AnnaLear, there is a steady stream of questions being quoted in chat, which I frankly find annoying. Is there any particular reason for this?

@ThorbjørnRavnAndersen Presumably to get more attention on the questions, since meta usually sees fairly low participation. It looks like there's not a lot of traffic in the chat room to break up the flow of meta links, though, which is unfortunate.
I hesitate to remove the meta notifications entirely, but I can see if I can switch them to be an overlay like the PSE questions are instead of one-boxed links in chat. Would that help?

Having a question feed in chat isn't a great idea if the chat is already low-volume, because people who join chat just see a screenful of questions instead of people talking.
The unix & linux room is 95% questions and 5% chat, and you have to work to find the chat parts.

@Brant Yeah, I hear ya. It's easy for the question feeds to get spammy.

I changed the meta feed to be a slide-out ticker like the main site feed. Blog posts from SEI will still come in as chat messages.

Hi all, I was wondering if I could ask people on programmers to come up with some CS T-shirt lines/quotes... this may cause a large number of answers to come in, but will be interresting.

Posted by Alex Miller on September 14th, 2011

No guest this week as Joel calls in to the show live from the TechCrunch Disrupt Conference in San Francisco since he’s there launching Trello for Fog Creek Software (also why his audio isn’t quite as good as usual, it’s pretty loud there).  There’s still a full hour of Jeff & Joel goodness though so make sure to check it out!

Joel gives rundown of what he’s seen at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference in San Francisco so far. A discussion about differences between East Coast and West Coast tech startups leads Jeff and Joel to talk about how important centralized locations are for modern day companies. …

@yatisagade No, that's neither on topic nor meets the guidelines for good subjective questions.
@yatisagade There's an old Stack Overflow question that collected people's favorite t-shirts.

Q: What is your favorite "programmer" t-shirt?

Joe Lencioni This question exists because it has historical significance, but it is not considered a good, on-topic question for this site, so please do not use it as evidence that you can ask similar questions here. More info: http://stackoverflow.com/faq This one is pretty good, especi...
