Q: Bug in sorting questions by "Unanswered" category

Rahul VermaI've recently noticed a bug while selecting the option "Unanswered" in question's category (mobile device). Whenever I seelct it, the questions gets sorted on the basis of "Votes". But, selecting other categories works fine! Android Oreo (Chrome), Android KitKat (Firefox)

@orthocresol Good idea. Since this edition of the ACS Style Guide will be replaced soon, I will wait for the new edition and make an updated post on meta. — Faded Giant ♦ Jan 28 at 7:07
I would like to update that meta post; however, the new ACS Guide is still not available for free.
Does anybody have access to the new version? Or should we post this thing based on the previous version?

Q: What happens to boiled (BMIM)PF6?

user73910[BMIM]PF6, or 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, is commonly used as an ionic liquid. As has been shown by the accepted answer to this question, sodium chloride that has been made to boil actually exists either as a monomer (Molecule of NaCl), or a dimer, rather than ions, in the ga...

@FadedGiant I don't think it ever will be; they write that it's going to be updated biannually, so there is going to be some flux in it. I guess it'll be fine just using the older version. Most of what is written in there hasn't become wrong all of a sudden (I hope); the book isn't blue after all.

1 day left on this 100-point bounty. It's a very easy one!! Just pick one of the partial charges mentioned in the question, and explain it! Only one person has done so since the bounty was offered, and they picked a rather extremely easy partial charge to explain, so I'd be keen to award the bounty to someone who picks a different partial charge:

Q: What are the different types of charge analysis?

Dong gi KangI am evaluating the atomic charge of an IP system and comparing with a DFT system by using three different charge analysis methods (Mulliken, Bader, Qeq). I wonder what are the differences between the methods, such as pros and cons. Perhaps we can get an answer explaining each of the following ty...

@Martin-マーチン An user has insulted me too much, by Hindi swear words. Should I move to meta if flagging doesn’t do anything?

@Knight Was it here on Chemistry?

@Knight Hmm, better if it stays in chat.
And in one room, optimally. Don't drag it elsewhere.
@Martin-マーチン Hey how're you doing

@Martin-マーチン It’s on Maths, but as my friend MAR has asked me I shall not say more.

@NikeDattani I'm pretty sure those who could contribute to that question are already on MMSE, I wouldn't expect many others seeing it here.
@Knight I see the flags now :(

@Martin-マーチン Thanks

@Martin-マーチン I saw the flags and based on my basic knowledge of Hindi I clicked "yes" I agree that it is offensive spam.
However, this was the first time I ever saw a "flag" in chat. I wonder why I'm getting flags all of a sudden? I thought I had to reach 10k rep for that?
 
M.A.R.
M.A.R.
@NikeDattani 10k rep network-wide
So 2k somewhere and 8k elsewhere would do
 
Nike Dattani
Nike Dattani
@M.A.R. I've had 10k rep network wide for ages, but never saw flags before!
 
M.A.R.
M.A.R.
I personally don't have 10k on any single site either
@NikeDattani They're often handled super fast, sometimes erroneously so.
 
Nike Dattani

Is there anything on MSE about the 10k network wide privelages?

@Martin-マーチン You were bored huh. Admit it ;D

@NikeDattani I have no idea, but sometimes I see the flag and when I click it, it's gone already
 
M.A.R.
M.A.R.
Yeah, that's superfast.
Charcoal handled spam sometimes just as fast.
5 second deletion time from when spam is posted o.o

I'm on chat pretty much 24/7, so I would imagine I'd see the flags more often than once/year which seems to be the case (even if they're handled quickly!)
 
Martin - マーチン
Martin - マーチン
That was a pretty awful situation though.
@NikeDattani I don't think I've ever actually handled a flag in here. And there was a time where I was a real constant in here...
There are too many people able to handle flags, and they are pushed out too quickly. So if something bad would happen in here (for example), we mods might never know about it.
@Nike Why didn't you run as mod on MMSE?

Q: Add escalation system to chat flags

Mad ScientistThe offensive/spam flags in chat are shown to every moderator from a parent site (on chat.stackexchange.com that is every SE 2.0 moderator, more than 200 right now) and 10k chat users as well. This is potentially far more users than a flag on an SE site itself is shown to. I don't think it is n...

Well, I am not complaining, I am just curious. If you don't want to answer, then just say that ;)
@Tyberius Since I have you here... anyone told you about the secret chats?

I'm on the site 24/7 already, and doing as much moderation as I can (especially since I'm at the highest rep level for public beta). When I see something that needs mod attention I'm usually able to get in touch with Tyberius quite quickly.

urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Tyberius Well that's not very flattering
Although I wouldn't wanna know what its entry for my name says
@NikeDattani It's one of those things you can do because of great power but don't do because of great responsibility
So like the red nuke button in US presidential office

No difference at all
Just made the same sound
Unless you pinged me in a different chat room or something.
 
Martin - マーチン
Martin - マーチン
@NikeDattani You'd basically only know if you have not been to a chat for a while and still gotten a notification.
 
Nike Dattani
Nike Dattani
I see
yea because once you leave the room for a while you can't be pinged (by regular users).
So the super-ping is just a ping for people that haven't been in the room for long enough to be pinged by normal users.
 
Martin - マーチン
Martin - マーチン
To you it's just a normal ping, but mods can use it when the normal ping rules wouldn't allow it.
Yes basically, and its a way to communicate between mods more efficiently in some cases

@Martin-マーチン Lol OK, not bad for a reversal of my last name
@NikeDattani It echolocates your spot in case a few agent Smiths would have to be sent your way

We're lacking a zombie invasion, Trump winning the election again, an alien invasion, and some more bleak options. But I don't think the world would get rid of us that quickly, so.

@Martin-マーチン That letter is fake. I'd imagine the real one goes like "I have the best treatments. This is God's great country, and our great people make great bleach, top notch. I can't say the same about CHAINA. CHAINA sucks. I love Chinese people but China sucks. They infected you. This is all their work. They'll take over the jobs of our great people by making those vaccines."
