Does the upload button in chat have a rep requirement?

kalina

@ElfSlice yes: 1337 rep

tombull89

@ElfSlice I only just found out about holding E...rather than mashing E to get into a pickup-chopper you can hold E to get in as soon as it's in range.

Kevin van der Velden

@Rob hmm that might be the cause of people randomly friending me as well

tombull89

I get people adding me though JC2MP on both Steam and Facebook.

Tim Stone

@ElfSlice 100 reps

ElfSlice

3:01 PM

@tombull89 I don't even know what game that is, somebody just posted it somewhere else

kalina

2 hours left

tombull89

@ElfSlice Oh. BF4.

ElfSlice

@TimStone 100 or 1337

Two different answers here

Q: Chat requirement to post images should be made explicit

There is (apparently) a 100 reputation requirement to upload and post images through chat. There isn't any easily located documentation on this, however. 100 global reputation is listed as the privilege for creating chat rooms, while the chat FAQ and help both do not mention any restrictions on ...

ElfSlice

3:01 PM

@kalina I thought you were serious

kalina

@ElfSlice with an answer like 1337?

Tim Stone

I'm not sure why that was marked status-completed, the privilege wiki is an obscure place for that to be.

ElfSlice

@kalina Stackexchange is full of trolls.

I dunno it could have been

@tombull89 I just noticed he landed back in the plane. wtf

@5pike I sent you an invite on steam

Let me know when you're around with access to it

I'll send you some games

Rob

@KevinvanderVelden Yes, it may well be. There is apparently some website that details what items people have in their Steam inventory, this is how people were finding me.

Ben Brocka

@ElfSlice you have spare copies of paranautical activity? I feel like a jerk for following spooder and not owning it

ElfSlice

3:07 PM

@BenBrocka I think only one

Ben Brocka

@Rob a couple people on my friends lists were bugging me about some hat I had, no idea what it's worth so I didn't want to tell it though

Kevin van der Velden

@Rob ah well, maybe next time I'll ask them what item they want and then turn it into scrap :)

ElfSlice

@BenBrocka to be honest, it's not great. It's fun for a bit, but not very deep or unique

5pike

@ElfSlice Thanks. I am currently trying to log-in to steam, but damn, seems I forgot my password.

Braiam

I just noticed that my hat is annoying...

Powerlord

3:07 PM

Idina Menzel's "Let It Go" is stuck in my head now.

ElfSlice

@5pike Is it okay with you if I give you Hack Slash Loot and send Paranautical Activity to @BenBrocka?

Or do you want them both

I mean you asked first

tombull89

@Powerlord It is an excellent Disney song.

I'm so glad the clip is on YouTube.

5pike

@ElfSlice It's ok. You can give them to BenBrocka

ElfSlice

@5pike He only wants that one, I'll still give you Hack Slash Loot

5pike

Ok

Powerlord

3:09 PM

Also, I have hats disabled again this year.

ElfSlice

@5pike Cool. Let me know when you get Steam up and going.

5pike

@ElfSlice Yeah, I'll write you a line in steam

@tombull89

Pogo is the shit

@ElfSlice I was sorta interested in it after trying Fancy Skulls. Rougelike FPS seems interesting in theory but Fancy Skulls felt a bit slow (not necessarily easy, just slow). Paranautical at least seemed faster paced

tombull89

3:11 PM

Too bad he got banned from the US :(

silly pogo

ElfSlice

@BenBrocka Yeah, it's pretty fast. Do you have access to steam right now?

@tombull89 he what ?

@tombull89 yeesh...

Powerlord

@Sterno btw have you guys mentioned to @balpha that the chat flag system is apparently leaking information?

ElfSlice

@Powerlord What?

Powerlord

3:14 PM

Dear Flag Troll,

Yesterday, moderators discovered that they can figure out who flagged things with a script one of them wrote. Check yesterday's transcript for details. Please stop being an ass. Thank you!

Sincerely,
Everyone Else on The Bridge

i.e. it's leaking information it shouldn't.

Sterno

@Powerlord I haven't. I'm not a mod. I assumed if it's talked about in the mod channel or wherever that is, though, word will get out. I mean, if I know, it can't be that secret.

Kevin van der Velden

@Powerlord I think the consensus was that the script is just showing information for which no UI has been created yet.

Ben Brocka

@ElfSlice uhh, on mobile

ElfSlice

@BenBrocka I skyped you some codes for it

Powerlord

@KevinvanderVelden Last I checked, chat flags were supposed to be anonymous.

ElfSlice

3:15 PM

There's two but I'm pretty sure one of them has been used

Mad Scientist

@Powerlord It's not really leaking information, if you're not a mod it is not accessible as far as I know. From the bit I've seen it looks like that information is there intentionally

ElfSlice

@Powerlord Mods can see them regardless

Kevin van der Velden

What they said

Ben Brocka

@ElfSlice thanks, I'll nab it after work

5pike

I swear to god, Steam was fucking trolling me

@ElfSlice you can send me the code now. Thanks.

Sterno

3:18 PM

@Powerlord You now have roughly the same amount of information I do, if you wish to contact @balpha

ElfSlice

@5pike it still says you're offline

5pike

Strange, I accepted your invite.

ElfSlice

@5pike Also, do you want the Desura one as well? Or just Steam.

5pike

@ElfSlice Steam is fine

ElfSlice

@5pike message me on steam

Powerlord

3:19 PM

OK, seriously, you have to disable hats on a site-by-site basis?

Ben Brocka

@Powerlord Really? It was a single universal opt out last year

Yuki

Whoa, Fallen London UI update!

Powerlord

@BenBrocka I was opted out on SO and had to opt out on Meta.SO.

ElfSlice

Meta SO is a special site.

The chat doesn't even show up in my favourites from a different site

Sterno

Why would anyone want to opt out of hats? cc: @OrigamiRobot

ElfSlice

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot Only if you stop pinging me about lifehacks

ElfSlice

Sterno

3:28 PM

It's like the worst of two worlds.

ElfSlice

@BenBrocka Have you seen/played Tower of Guns?

Rob

Do you get rep from handling the Review queue or only if you need to make an edit?

Ben Brocka

@ElfSlice hadn't heard of it before today

tombull89

@Rob 2 rep per approved edit

ElfSlice

@BenBrocka Ah. It was on IndieGameStand a while back. Sold really really well.

Sterno

3:30 PM

Don't you stop getting rep for that right about the same time you can see the review queue?

Ben Brocka

Does anyone else just skim the flag queue for items with the "delete vote" button?

Rob

@tombull89, anything for jsut generally handling it, like reviewing a post that is fine and doesnt actually need any help?

Sterno

Actually, I guess that was the worst of three worlds. It also has a pony. Or unicorn. I'm not sure.

Kevin van der Velden

@Rob badges and a general feeling of wellbeing for keeping the site clean

tombull89

@Rob I think you get a badge for a number of reviews

Even if you hit "no action needed" that counts as a review

Kevin van der Velden

3:32 PM

@tombull89 3 badges per review queue, one for 10, 250 and 500 or something I believe

Ben Brocka

@Sterno how do you find these things?

tombull89

although they had to put false positives in because over at SO they were mashing "no action needed" on obvious crap to get a badge.

Frank

@tombull89 Because even nice things will get abused in the name of digital achievements.

@AshleyNunn It's a really satisfying feeling yeah.

Very instantaneous.

user15026

@RedRiderX Yeah, I like the instant feedback. It makes me feel awesome. like I changed the color of something and was like HOLY CRAP LOOK THERE IT IS

RedRiderX

And it's a little more of a look-and-feel kind of programming.

CSS mostly deals with all the direct visual bits.

So you can see a lot of drastic change quickly.

user15026

4:56 PM

@RedRiderX Yeah, and that works well for me right now - I don't get nearly as frustrated as I did learning Python. I can do something and it changes right then and it just....bam stuff happens

RedRiderX

@AshleyNunn Yeah a styling language can be a bit easier to pick up then a full programming language and all the logicy bits that go with it.

Although CSS does have some weird logical jumps at times. :P
