Destructible Watermelon

you know, maybe we should bring back code trolling, but only when questions like that come up

Christopher Peart

@DestructibleWatermelon What is that? Where you answer with awful code that doesn't work

Or worse, does something else?

Destructible Watermelon

something like that

Christopher Peart

Code trolled

Updated code troll @DestructibleWatermelon

Actually wait use this:

in the main of your class use

`for (;;) printf(" \t\b\b\b\b\b\b");`

Trust me. It really works and is super fast. It is also really condensed for your convince.

_Trust me_ I am a programmer

heheh

I reckon the best part of code trolling to questions like that is that if they are too lazy to even take out the due date from the challenge, I imagine they wouldn't check the code

Christopher Peart

Yup

Going to wait a bit

for it to burn

The \a stands for "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!"

@NathanMerrill @BusinessCat @Poke @PeterTaylor @MistahFiggins @muddyfish Thanks everyone for the ideas, I'm sure I'll be able to use quite a lot of those. :)

11:30 PM

@DJMcMayhem Said e-mail has now been sent a screenshot of the page and my wishes for luck in catching the would-be cheater.

@ATaco MY EERS! RIP HEDFONE!

Is it possible to replace my Motherboard's Beeper with a pre-programed speaker with my own scream?

Destructible Watermelon

@PeterTaylor haha

Christopher Peart

Guys can someone tell me what I was told on the homework question?

@PeterTaylor Ohhhhh

Christopher Peart

11:32 PM

It was removed so I can't check

> @ChristopherPeart We are not malicious coders, nor are we trolls. Don't give new people an example of what we aren't. Thanks! – VoteToClose 1 min ago

@DJMcMayhem Probably better for reading. >.>

Christopher Peart

Ah thanks

I got to +1 your comment seconds before you cast the final delete vote, haha

@PeterTaylor Did you get the username in the screenshot?

Christopher Peart

11:33 PM

but my code is innocent! I copied it right of the web!

:P

And yet...

That should teach them a hard lesson

I don't particularly blame him.

Blatently "Do my homework" on a puzzle site.

Destructible Watermelon

I mean, think about it

@DJMcMayhem ;) Don't give him too hard a time. That was a pretty troll-worthy post, even if it isn't super helpful to our site's rep.

Destructible Watermelon

11:35 PM

its obviously kidding around

You're gonna get trolled

What I don't get is why people come here when SO is so much bigger

Christopher Peart

yeah

Destructible Watermelon

if the kid used the obvious troll code he would only have himself to blame

@VoteToClose Peter was the expert troll here. ;)

11:36 PM

@MistahFiggins I'll bet you there's a question on SO that just got closed and deleted with the same content.

I was thinking about doing the same thing

I never saw the email in the post, soo...

Christopher Peart

I still think my code was innocent. I plead the 89th!

@DJMcMayhem It's the correct thing to do.

Wait, there it is. xD

11:37 PM

@VoteToClose Yeah. And then the vote to close reason sometimes tells them to go back to SO

Christopher Peart

Crossing my fingers to get an annoyed comment on one of my posts about how I BSOD him/her/he/she/it/them/they

Destructible Watermelon

@PeterTaylor Can you show us the content of the email maybe

Christopher Peart

(Gotta cover my bases)

Nov 28 '16 at 21:06, by DJMcMayhem

> Your question is off-topic on this site. Please have your question closed on stack-overflow instead.

@DJMcMayhem Accurate.

11:38 PM

@ChristopherPeart Really? I don't want to BSOD anyone

Christopher Peart

It wouldn't BSOD

> We are not malicious coders

@ChristopherPeart Obv not but still.

Christopher Peart

@VoteToClose Hehehehhe

"You should not go to SO, this 'question' doesn't belong anywhere.. Maybe you should fix your 'question' so that it fits on SO instead of thinking it's the site that's the problem"

A little harsh but...

Christopher Peart

The only "Malicious" code I write is in batch

I often crash my computer

11:40 PM

We need a close type that's "Your question is not fit for SE."

Christopher Peart

But I do not give them to people to try and do anything

I cover my bases

Q: Is code trolling on homework questions OK?

http://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/109337/java-program-for-build-report That is a homework question. It has been closed. Am I allowed to troll the asker with innocent code snippets? Ya know just things that will troll them harmlessly?

Christopher Peart

And don't damage anything or anyone.

@NewMetaPosts Can we get to -15

@NewMetaPosts @MartinEnder +1 for your answer. May I request an <h1> on your first word?

11:42 PM

For the record, there is no rep changes on meta, yes?

Christopher Peart

yeah

@MistahFiggins No rep changes on meta. :P

I hate negatory question semantics. :I

Christopher Peart

Tried to downvote my question :P

@ATaco Well I could have done that myself :P I was asking cause it seems like a silly/trivial edit

@VoteToClose Yeah, I realized after I posted it and got 2 answers saying "yeah" and "nope", meaning the same thing

11:44 PM

@MistahFiggins English is at fault here, don't worry. :P

darned English

I mean, really.

Speaking of languages, for the Spanish speakers out there: would "I invite her to the cafe" be "Yo la invito al cafe" or "Yo le invito al cafe"

Or something else entirely?

@MistahFiggins la, it's not reflexive.

An example of using le would be "Le lo gusta", because it's a reflexive verb with a third person "target".

(iirc)

So you would use a direct object pronoun, not an indirect in this situation?

Wouldn't it be "Se lo gusta"?

It's been years since I've done Spanish

I'm not fit for this any longer. xD

"le(s) + lo(s)/la(s)" -> "se + lo(s)/la(s)"

I think

Christopher Peart

11:55 PM

wat

In spanish, if you have an indirect object pronoun in the 3rd person, followed by a direct object pronoun, you change the indirect to "se" so it sounds better

No one wants to have to say "le lo lee"

A: Is code trolling on homework questions OK?

Be Nice That's Stack Exchange's prime directive. Trolling someone, for whatever reasons you may think you have, is not OK. My favorite part of the Be Nice page says the following. Your tone should match the way you'd talk in person with someone you respect and whom you want to respect you. I...

Welp
