Is it fair to ask for help with a Wolfram Challenges question? I did not see anything in the guidelines regarding asking for help with competition questions. This user has asked for help with several Wolfram Challenges questions. mathematica.stackexchange.com/users/76873/peter-burbery

What a pity this person asks such reasonable questions on the main site but insists on trolling the chat.

@b3m2a1 indeed

Folks, It's been a while since I have posted in here. As a refresher, I'm the PR Team Lead for Wolfram.

Just wanted to let you know that I am putting together a "Version 13 Sneak Peek" livestream on Thursday at 10am CST!

The stream will be with our Directory of Technical Communications & Strategy, Jon McLoone

The stream will be on the Wolfram YouTube channel (youtube.com/WolframResearch) and our company Twitch site (twitch.tv/wolfram).

@CarlLange I wonder if there's a way to increase the reputation needed to join the chat to like 1000

@ChrisK Unfortunately, no. If someone's causing trouble and their messages are spam/rude and need immediate removal, please flag them, and if someone's persitently being problematic, you can flag a message for moderator attention and get a mod to look more into it and deal with it appropriately.

You are able to open gallery rooms which are publicly visible but only people you choose can talk in them, though.

@hyper-neutrino I guess the trouble is that someone can fairly easily gain 20 rep on a new account and sockpuppet to their heart's content. Two question upvotes isn't that hard to get.

Ah well. Thanks for patrolling :)

@CarlLange Yes, that is unfortunately an issue we've been dealing with quite a bit these past few weeks. *sigh* well, the problem is we could raise the bar but then we could also be cutting off access for normal users
