@hyper-neutrino I'd open a bug report but I actually like this bug :P

hyper-neutrino

ah

ok but if they killed the api endpoint suppsedly then like... how o.O

@Ausername (very late, but) you can indirectly gain +1 rep from a flag if you downvote the post, and your flag leads to its removal, refunding your rep

N3buchadnezzar

@cairdcoinheringaahing Why is my question on that list?

A username

@bobble Oh true

caird coinheringaahing

@N3buchadnezzar Which one is your question?

@bobble Fun fact, you can use that to get more than +200 in a day :P

I somehow got +212 in a day - +210 from upvotes, +2 from an accept.

(Jun 4)

caird coinheringaahing

It shouldn't, according to the rep rules, but if you DV on one day, then flag on the next and get it deleted, so you get +201

A username

Also +220 (May 1)

caird coinheringaahing

@Ausername That's a known bug

A username

Link?

caird coinheringaahing

11:13 PM

Did you repcap the next day?

A username

Yes

I posted three questions in quick succesion

Wait no I repcapped the previous day.

caird coinheringaahing

If you'd recapped the next day, it should show +190 (or, a couple of days later there will be a 10 rep "loss")

Essentially, it forces a rep recalc after a day or two

Hm...

Q: I think I may have broken the rep cap

I just noticed a drop in my reputation. It turns out that a rather unconstructive post was deleted and took a fair amount of reputation I earned with it. Given the amount of reputation I thought to myself "surely I must have hit the rep cap that day. Why did I lose that much?". Looking at the r...

A username

The next day I got -20 from two 'user was deleted's tho.

11:16 PM

Also, look at bug daily-reputation-limit questions on MSE, you should find more like that. Hyper posted one about my rep list as well

hyper-neutrino

if I look at like, any user's history page, the majority of it is just a flood of "moderator recalcs rep" performed by community

Q: Reputation displays incorrectly on another user's profile as a moderator

Looking at caird coinheringaahing's reputation on CGCC, I see +191 for today (as of the time of writing): These clearly don't add up to 191. They add up to 190, which is what I see when I open this page in incognito (in fact everything is identical except for the 191), and several users can conf...

bug reputation

One thing of note: a couple of days ago I got +201 rep in a day, due to a bug with undownvoting. This was corrected yesterday. Additionally, I downvoted a spam answer, later removed and refunding me the +1 rep, yesterday, so I did gain +1 (although also lost it) — caird coinheringaahing Apr 25 at 1:51

Basically, the daily rep limit is very broken, but it all balances out in the end :P

A username

But if you look at my rep hiistory on Jun 4, you should see that I didn't get a recalc.

N3buchadnezzar

I am annoyed that no proper isprime functions exists in Python 3 :p There was one for Python 2, but it has not been translated. The closest is importing a symbolic library, but that feels odd for checking primality.. The Python 2 had at least something which compiled to C and was fast

lyxal

@cairdcoinheringaahing lucky

11:21 PM

@Ausername You won't see a "reputation recalculated" event, or rep changing on that page. If you keep close track of your upvotes/repcaps, you'd notice it

A username

Seriously?

@cairdcoinheringaahing Ok...

caird coinheringaahing

@lyxal Who's got a bug that benefits them now :P

A username

Is this evil: ;}

Excuse me...

What's even weirder is that neither of them is right.

user

@Ausername Bounties?

A username

I have +350 from bounties...

Also why didn't you say you were ysthakur?

user

11:35 PM

I meant to ask if you awarded bounties to make your yearly rep higher than your total rep

A username

Nope

user

@Ausername I think I've mentioned it before. Why?

That's odd

A username

I only just figured it out.

hyper-neutrino

when i said i see a bunch of recalcs i meant on your admin tab

user

Btw, nice username :P

Yeah, I got the URL wrong

A username

Also I don't get rickrolled so easily...

caird coinheringaahing

That's not a rickroll

user

Just an http thing, I think

caird coinheringaahing

It's "Let Me Google That For You"

N3buchadnezzar

Is rick rolling still a thing?

Wait isnt there a newer thing?

A username

11:40 PM

@cairdcoinheringaahing Sorry, I assume all links on the internet are rickrolls unless proven otherwise.

user

Unfortunately, yes

A username

@N3buchadnezzar Yes

user

@N3buchadnezzar Coconut mall?

lyxal

@cairdcoinheringaahing eww you use lmgtfy?

caird coinheringaahing

@N3buchadnezzar Yes, see this for more info

@cairdcoinheringaahing Real gamers use lmddgtfy

caird coinheringaahing

@lyxal No, but I know about it :P

Mods have tried to ban it, but it's too popular

@lyxal In Soviet Russia, Yandex googles you

Please provide feedback on this FR on meta, it needs some more votes

Pinning is for important stuff

That was important :P

Plus, I couldn't resist :P

There was a sale at the pitchfork store

user

@N3buchadnezzar Here, have some extra pitchforks: ΨΨΨΨΨΨΨΨ

:58523970 What?

caird coinheringaahing

Typo

@user Feel free to burn me at the stake

A username

11:45 PM

Dammit, community ads hashes the url so I can't easily rickroll

user

Yeah, don't use community ads for rickrolling (edit: nvm I didn't see the link first)

N3buchadnezzar

If someone is burned at the stake, is it well done?

caird coinheringaahing

@Ausername If only we had a policy about pinning, maybe one that was pinned?

user

@Ausername Also, don't use youtube.com directly without url shorteners or something

CMM: What should our policy on pinning be? (seriously)

2

A username

@user I mean, the redirect url when you click on them can't have a substituted url because it stores a hash.

@user Rickrolls only

caird coinheringaahing

11:47 PM

yesterday, by caird coinheringaahing

Feel free to open a meta discussion. My guess is that the policy would formally become what it currently informally is: ROs should use their best judgement about whether something should/shouldn't be pinned

yesterday, by caird coinheringaahing

I can't speak for the other ROs, but I ask myself "Do I think other TNBers would be interested in seeing this, and is it relevant for more than a day or so?"

user

@Ausername I have literally memorized that link, you insult me with your lack of creativity :P

A username

What about this

user

@cairdcoinheringaahing Whoops, didn't see that message before, that makes sense

caird coinheringaahing

Unless we have an actual need for a policy, I don't think we need to have much discussion around it. And honestly, if we need to have such a discussion, it's already gone too far

user

Actually, I think I may have skimmed that conversation and just forgotten about it

rak1507

11:49 PM

is there a way to see past pinned messages?

caird coinheringaahing

Almost every pinned message stays starred after it is unpinned

rak1507

so, no

N3buchadnezzar

starred show 3 more / show all 29341

user

You could have a chatbot running that records them maybe?

caird coinheringaahing

So, unless someone unpinned and cancelled the stars, you can look through the histories of all starred messages

rak1507

11:50 PM

@cairdcoinheringaahing yeah but then you wouldn't know if it was pinned or not

caird coinheringaahing

@rak1507 Check the history

It tells you who pinned it

rak1507

ugh, so I'd need to do that on every starred message lol

caird coinheringaahing

Basically, yes :P

user

You are a programmer, use your programmer-fu

N3buchadnezzar

Could run a query on it?

caird coinheringaahing

11:52 PM

There is another way, but it isn't perfect. After DJ stepped down as mod, we had no active ROs, so no one pinned anything until the RO election. Before then, pins almost always got 7+ stars, so you can limit your search to those messages

A username

Jquery is missing one thing: A rickroll builtin. I present to you: Nquery, which is Jquery with $.neverGonnaGiveYouUp()

caird coinheringaahing

Anything with 20+ stars almost certainly was pinned if it was any kind of announcement

lyxal

What have I told y'all...excessive rickrolling in a short period of time severely degrades the value of the rickroll

Y'all are trash at meme economics

caird coinheringaahing

> You have starred and pinned this message.

user

@Ausername lol, all you need for that is to see $.neverGonnaGiveYouUp = <rickroll> (TIO)

caird coinheringaahing

11:54 PM

This message - um

N3buchadnezzar

@lyxal What about the stonks?

rak1507

annoying tio doesn't support networking (obviously sensible but means I can't do quick scripts :P APL time)

lyxal

@N3buchadnezzar the meme economy is different to stonks

caird coinheringaahing

Wait, if I find any message I've starred from the transcript, it says I've starred and pinned it

rak1507

(I'm going to regret this, httpcommand is a pain in the ass to use)

A username

11:55 PM

@user Why?

user

@Ausername Why did I do a textual rickroll? Because.

rak1507

LOL it crashed dyalog

user

What did?

rak1507

my first attempt at making a request

caird coinheringaahing

I think you'll probably be able to figure out most of what happened when the next significant, network-wide announcement comes out, and then you'll probably agree that it's really sad. And frustrating. I will say no more.
