I thought, Python must be shorter than Java. Here is the "proof" (EDIT: now it really is shorter):

All i do is golf, golf, golf no matter what. Got coding on my mind i can never get enough, and every time i open up the chat room everybody's stars go up!

@TheDoctor I think it's a blanket policy that helps ensure that some of the more powerful anti-abuse tools do not become public knowledge (which may allow abusers to dodge the tools).
For example, there are very specific tools that help mods identify voting rings.
D.J. Doctor!
All I do is golf, golf, golf no matter what.
Got coding on my mind I can never get enough.
And every time I post another challenge everybody's votes go up!
And they stay there! And they say yeah!
Up vote up vote up vote.
Cause all I do is golf, golf, golf, and if you wanna play,
golf your code, hit submit, let the votes come!
@ChrisJester-Young I've seen some research on the linguistic gender of inanimate objects influencing the adjectives people use to describe them. Speakers of languages where bridges were masculine using words like "strong", and speakers of languages where they're feminine using words like "beautiful". Not 100% convincing, but interesting.
@mniip Without the crap about Einstein? (Anyone want to post a Prolog answer? I might, but I'll have to refresh myself on syntax because it's been about 12 years since I wrote any Prolog).
@Doorknob yeah we've been saying that for a while now, but it's not something we can just decide, right? it's something we need to work for. so what needs to be done? :D
That sounds like a "big list" question, therefore it should be CW. But so far we've accepted "tips for golfing in X," so I don't see why that wouldn't be on topic.
So after we reach consensus on this, we can start posting these on PPCG, in order to replace code-trolling. It will have all the advantages of code-trolling (increased traffic, more users wanting to post here), and none of the disadvantages!
This challenge is inspired by a problem I encountered recently out in the real-world, though ultimately I cheated and found a workaround.

The input is a space-separated table of characters (each line is a row, and every line will have the same number of columns). Your challenge is to ...
@Doorknob I thought you might say that. ^^ I think we have to by one option though until the consensus is decided. And choosing that would be based on precedent. In this case that's at looking how other SE sites do it: a) this is a specific question about code golfing, b) this SE is about code golfing; hence, this is a perfectly regular question and shouldn't be CW. If anything needs to be based on a community consensus it's only the opposite decision.
@m.buettner Sure, but we haven't even waited a full hour to decide what we want to do with these questions. I think it's important to at least wait a day to get a broader view of what the community thinks.
Generic chatbot as well as having question ratings for you based on your chat history. It makes recommendations and points you to relative chat messages from the transcript
@Trimsty Holy shit! Compiling your Factorials using gcj -O3 calculates 2e6 in 11.2 seconds on my machine (compared to ~2.6e5 in the same time on openjdk)
But, logging in still works, just logs me in as Trimsty, so it can't be deleted. Merging isn't actually an advertised feature of the network, is it? :P
@Trimsty Well, the other mods don't have any activity logged recently, and I certainly didn't do anything, so it must have been something you accidentally did... O_o
/profile <site> <name> - searches the <site> for users with display name matching <name>. <site> will go through common abbreviations like MSO, AU and 8bitlavapwnpwniesbossstagesixforhelp before defaulting to <site>.stackexchange.com
How can I be sure I'm looking at a sockpuppet?
You can't ever be 100% sure. What you think is a sockpuppet could in fact be my good friend Nog Shine, who loves everything I write, copies my writing style, and uses my computer to vote and post stuff when I step away for coffee.
But in practice, ...
The most I can probably disclose without breaking the mod agreement is that it was an automated process.
@TheDoctor I knew it had to have happened before but I searched for the wrong things
Plus also I'm frustrated that I posted a Java answer to a question that's 25% shorter than the previous Java answer and it didn't get any upvotes. I don't really care about my rep in specific but just the fact that it seems people don't want to upvote answers that aren't the shortest answer period.
I personally have removed upvotes from answers when a different answer in the same language comes in shorter
but it seems that such practices aren't very common
and I tend to upvote all answers that are the shortest answer in that particular language, as long as it's a quality answer objectively
This, by the way, adds to the fact that PPCG will never get out of beta if we don't get more users with north of 10k rep, which means we need to be a lot more generous about voting
