@Mana So... They both get suspended and continue their argument in the meta post? What exactly can be done in a situation like that? O.o

Bad luck Wipqozn: meets self, self fake dials self with fake emergency to get out of meeting

Wipqozn

@Fluttershy You just suspend them on the main site as well.

Super simple stuff.

Welp, @pixel since you deleted your meta, I'll copy pasta here;

Chat flags are a mess. If you let yourself get into heated discussion, *you will* get suspended sometimes. Take the lumps and roll with it, or keep a cooler head.

I'm not making any value judgement about what either of you had to say, but know that the way chat moderation works and the way flags are handled in chat, things will get, seemingly arbitrarily flagged, and at times, people will approve them just to make them go away or because they have *radically* different standards for what is appropriate from you or anyone who frequents this room. Understand it, acknowledge it, and learn to …

I used to get suspended every week or so. I still do on occasion. It's not a big deal.

pixel

This is not me bringing this back up - I had no issue with me being suspended. The issue was unfair application of the rules

LessPop_MoreFizz

In fact, since I'm about to go get some beers and then maybe or maybe not go see Batman, here's a gif for old times sake. It may or may not get me suspended, given it's history. I'll note however, that while suggestive, it is a corn dog.

James

@pixel That is the same complaint everyone has when they get suspended ;) (Not that I didnt post that same thread months ago)

LessPop_MoreFizz

@pixel Because flags are totally arbitrary and a vindictive flag can get approved. Chat moderation is network wide, and generally done without context.

James

@LessPop_MoreFizz Ok that is just nasty :P

fbueckert

12:40 AM

Smite seems to have a very MOBA-ish feel to it.

James

@LessPop_MoreFizz That is not what happened in this case however.

fbueckert

Can we remove that gif now? I'm really not liking it.

James

@fbueckert agreed.

fbueckert

Not gonna flag it, because that would prevent @LessPop_MoreFizz from gracing us with his wisdom if it gets approved.

Don't complain too much, @LessPop_MoreFizz doesn't need to suffer as collateral damage from me and @GnomeSlicE having a go at each other

Just become really active in chat for a few minutes and it will be off screen

@pixel I think we are just kindly asking @LessPop_MoreFizz to edit his post :D

12:55 AM

@Alok It's a valid question, it's just not a fit for Stack Exchange. See here and here for more info, but I should note the fact that they are honeypots for people to ask easy copycat questions is among the many reasons why they are so problematic

Alok

@MarkTrapp I know, to be clear I don't want to ask comparison questions here since I know they're frowned on by site policy - just surprising that is still open with few downvotes and 0 close votes

user2334

It has 2 close votes and is at -1...

Alok

And if it is valid, I'd only ask a similar question on a game I'm actually interested in; not just try to /bandwagon on making poor questions :P

@GnomeSlicE I'm sorry for the misunderstanding in the latter part of our conversation tonight, and for any offence I caused you.

Alok

Hmm guess I can't see close votes - idk why, I thought I def. saw them elsewhere ... guess they're always visible on own questions & I got confused

Personally, like my own opinion, without any indication that you should make changes, are incorrect in any way, etc etc etc... snare is too dry (could do with reverb) and low in the mix, the kick is too low in the mix, you could underlay your bass with a sine to give it more presence

@pixel Yeah, I'm actually messing around with reverb right now, and the bassline sine would be a good idea.

new simcity looks really good in principle

@fbueckert it's awfully ironic your counter argument is that though, since you spend so much time playing diablo 3

no, its a horrible idea

fbueckert

No matter how Blizzard dresses it up, that's exactly what it is.

pixel

but unfortunately, it's not going to go away

fbueckert

2:05 AM

I can see some justification for D3. Not much, but some. But SimCity...is a single player game. Through and through.

pixel

It has multiplayer aspects in the new one

but tbh, ME3 was a single player game primarily, and that also had always on DRM if you used any of the DLC

fbueckert

@pixel That I would not be surprised were shoehorned in specifically to justify the "always-online" bit.

pixel

and my internet connection is 'always on'

I really see no technical issue to it, even if there is an obvious moral one

But the fact is, games companies make more money by reducing piracy even if they're alienating some of their players that can't be "always on"

so the concept isn't going to go away

Alok

2:23 AM

@pixel I play D3 too; if anything the experience has made me warn anyone who considers an online-only DRM game when I would have not done so earlier :(

BrQAnt

Last time Square experimented with non-traditional (for FF) game mechanics the fanbase pretty much rejected it. (FF12)

None of the games since have managed to do this, which is why they've never done an HD remake.

user2334

@Alok If you don't see anything else about a post that can be improved, just leave it. Tag cleanups are like… priority 53 in the grand scheme of things. They are not at all urgent and when done like this are heavily detrimental to the site

@MarkTrapp So many people have done way more than me ... let me reiterate, I did them when the front page didn't have useful stuff anyway!! And I wish they were priority 53, people are out for blood on killing some like story that I personally found useful :( (and no, this isn't a rant on trying to impose minority opinion before I get accused of that)

user2334

@pixel I'm not questioning your commitment to editing other stuff. I'm saying when you do tag cleanups, do more than just remove the tag. If you're about to just remove or add a tag and do nothing else, just leave it.

user2334

@Alok I'm going to repeat something I hope your mother once said to you when you were a kid: if everyone jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge, would you do it too?

@MarkTrapp I'm not even going to argue how this statement is partially wrong - not all questions requiring editing of course but I know you know this, yeah I got a bit carried away with nuking, I'm sorry, I stopped like 15 minutes ago now, I am now watching a movie though so tabbing back to keep replying to the same statement is getting boring

Alok

@MarkTrapp She didn't; because I am too lazy to jump off bridges. And I don't see how it applies in this case; retagging is supposed to be helpful for site maintenance not a suicide plan

pixel

3:33 AM

@Alok doing spam editing like we just did is counter productive to the possibilities presented, if the questions don't get edited now but are left perfectly tagged theres a decent chance they won't get fixed in the future, and there is no point in duplicating effort when we can just do it all in one go

@Alok this is definitively a topic we're wrong on

GnomeSlicE

I really need to do this on medium, at least.

Fluttershy

@GnomeSlicE There ya go. I'm on the leaderboard.

Alok

@pixel Well, point out which question I edited tags also needed to change the description or title and I'll gladly admit my mistake. As for retagging - personally I dislike seeing random stuff pop up on FP due to edits, but since there is an initiative to do it and people are doing it ... best case would be for everyone to just pick a couple of hours and retag all at once (preferably not on weekend or expected higher traffic days)

Q: Differences between Arma 2 Free and Arma 2 Demo

Trying to find more information about the DayZ mod, I learnt that the base game (Arma 2) appears to have 2 different 'free' versions, one enticingly labeled as 'Arma 2 Free' and also a seperate 'Demo' - however neither the official site nor Steam helped me figure out why anyone would go for the d...

@MarkTrapp ...ArenaNet? Seriously?

user2334

I don't understand the question

badp

I can't believe they honestly called themselves ArenaNet

it's sad

also, while I am at it

yesterday, by Mark Trapp

@GnomeSlicE Yes, but only as a set of basic guidelines to get them started. If, instead, we were leaving comments on crap ITG questions like, "Hey, this question is really vague and we've found SE is terrible for these types of memory questions so I'm so sorry, but we can't help you", new users would almost certainly understand why their question was closed and not some other question that only superficially looks like an ITG question wasn't.

user2334

Nope, veto

user2334

Please take your complaints and file them with Human Resources, the argue machine is closed for the night

badp

People don't really care how SE works or doesn't work, they just want to know what game they want to play next. That's not an argument, that's truth. You just need to face it, not argue with it.

:P

Feel free to enjoy your continued non-arguing with this basic truth about new users.

@badp In other words, people suck?

badp

@YiJiang This website is a tool. People don't like tools, people like what you can do with them.

user2334

@badp You just need to face the fact that cherry-picking lines from a seriously FOUR DAY LONG ARGUMENT is stupid because if you actually read things I've actually written in the proper channels you'd see that I agree with that premise :P :P :P :) ;)

badp

@MarkTrapp That message is pinned! by itself! There's nothing else I need to read :P :P :P ;) :)

So blame the pinner.

That would be @LessPop_MoreFizz.

Yi Jiang

Guys, this emoticon thing is stupid :P :P :P ;) :) >:(

badp

@YiJiang no u :o :o :/ :\ :| oy

user2334

9:37 AM

@badp No, I prefer to blame you for dredging up a butt-hurt argument AGAIN after several days of stupid drama.

user2334

;) :P :D :< :()

badp

@MarkTrapp Why are you arguing with me on who should get blamed? Wasn't the arguing machine closed?

Your argument is invalid!

Yi Jiang

@badp This must be the meta arguing machine, arguing about arguing

badp

@YiJiang I do have 10k on meta, right?

user2334

@badp You insisted to get your point in after I vetoed it, so I'm insisting on calling you out for it. If you didn't want to argue about it, don't argue about it.

badp

9:39 AM

@MarkTrapp You're the one who vetoed it, not me. Sorry

user2334

I'M GETTING THE LAST WORD DEAL WITH IT

user2334

And you can stuff your sorries in a sack

badp

My sack is empty

user2334

Yeah well your sack sucks so there

@MarkTrapp longer, this has been going on since the middle of last week

user2334

@badp Great way to deal with people getting annoyed at you: keep up the awesome moderating badp, wouldn't expect anything less from you!

badp

@pixel <|°_°|>

user2334

Should go remove the piracy line from the FAQ too while you're at it: wouldn't want people disagreeing with you there either amirite

badp

@MarkTrapp I honestly don't know where all this hurt is coming from. You just mentioned something, I just replied with a side comment and you started getting all mad

pixel

9:42 AM

YAY a daytime argument

my favourite, they don't involve me skipping sleep

badp

If you complain that the argument has been going for too long I can just bury it so it doesn't come up anymore. If you complain that line has been cherrypicked I can remove the reason to cherrypick that line

There's no pleasing you is there

Patrick Stalder

I love arguments. <grabs popcorn>

user2334

@badp Or you can just, you know, pay attention to the site you ostensibly moderate when things actually occur instead of bringing up bullshit from the other day like it's completely new without actually, you know, reading the read of the discussions or what's happening on meta. But unpinning things you disagree with is one way to deal with the situation, too

pixel

I don't currently have enough energy to join in, I've skipped so many hours of sleep this week just so I could pay attention during chat's primetime

badp

I forgot the part where being a moderator bringed a legal liability to read ALL the chat and ALL the meta. At any rate see you tomorrow Mark

Patrick Stalder

9:45 AM

@pixel first world problems, huh?. Better play more TSW! :D

user2334

@badp Yeah, I know, being active in community discussions about scope is such a drag, right? Better to just stay out of it and wing it after the fact.

pixel

@PatrickStalder Instead of recovering from my sleep pattern inversion during last week while I was off, I went from being awake American hours to waking up UK hours and staying up until American hours

My body doesn't function on 0-3 hours sleep per day

user2334

@badp But at any rate, you couldn't let it go, so there, you got what I think about the subject. Maybe next time you should just drop it when someone says they don't want to get into something with you.

pixel

this weekend I suspect is a write off, I will probably go to sleep tonight and wake up some time on Sunday

Patrick Stalder

@pixel Better get an coffee infusion then.

pixel

9:48 AM

I very rarely drink coffee, it does strange things to me

coffee is more of a 'staying awake' substance for me than a 'waking up' substance

Patrick Stalder

Stay awake 24/7 is the key for success.

You can sleep when you are old :P

pixel

plus I'm waiting for one of the minions on support to set the coffee machine going

because I get paid too much to stand in the kitchen.

Patrick Stalder

I imagine you like: "Work my slaves, muhahaha!".

pixel

(and I don't know how to work it, in fairness)

No I'm more like "FILTHY HUMANS"

besides I'm currently writing some awesome SQL to load a list of users from AD as a nasty workaround to enable single sign on in one of our old applications

I didn't realise this thing drew graphs

@PatrickStalder look at the "typical user activity" graph, shows my lack of sleep pattern atm: chat.stackexchange.com/users/40979/pixel

literally 4-6am is my downtime

Wall of text critically hits you

Wall of text

oh yes

@pixel That text has a huge DPS.

Well what I could make of it?

@pixel I approved your wiki excerpt for the 7th guest, but I also condensed it myself afterwards. Excerpts should be short and to the point, so you don't need the information about how it was considered an important game.

Q: Till what level does a pot out-heals ignite damage?

The question is pretty self-explanatory. Did someone do the math to know till what level the healing pot out-heals ignite? Assume that there is no other damage applied an no other healing applied.

'is widely-regarded as a the game of the period' - isn't this subjective?

How do we suggest tag renames?

@Alok the game in question was responsible for driving the addition of the CD ROM drive to PCs, and was acclaimed as the future of interactive gaming by Bill Gates

not as subjective as you would expect
