Q: Evaluating the risks of allowing teen moderators on the SE network

I have a David vs Goliath case here involving a teen moderator on Stack Overflow. His display name is BoltClock. I'm a low reputation SO user (less than 150 points) who was recently suspended for Voting Irregularities by BoltClock. Eventually the mistake was corrected by another non-teen moderat...

Heh, I was about to say "Oh, where's @BoltClock" in jest ;)

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@Tim The commit that added your name to the page is still not live! What's taking them so long?

Tim Stone

5:10 PM

Well, can't exactly ask Rebecca to do the deploys anymore...so I suppose I should figure out who's responsible for that stuff now.

tiddy

Seeking power aren't worthy of power? That includes every elected official

and excludes all monarchies

fbueckert

@tiddy Welcome to the downside of democracy.

Tim Stone

Although they're about to switch back to the NYC data center, so I'll probably put that on hold until after that's wrapped up. Data Explorer is in need of a redeploy too.

fbueckert

The best leaders are those that don't want the responsibility.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Hrump, now that I can host the damn thing now can we transfer things to under our control?

tiddy

5:11 PM

I don't know if I buy into that

FAE

@TimStone Did she leave too?

Tim Stone

nods

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

I guess the team will never let an official SE domain name point to an external server

FAE

@TimStone D: :(

Tim Stone

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Well, I could always have hosted it, the issue was with the domain name.

FAE

5:12 PM

I didn't know about this. :(

Tim Stone

@FAE Yes. :(

FAE

@TimStone That sucks... between her and Lauren leaving, I have no idea who to talk to about blog things anymore.

Tim Stone

@GraceNote is actually the contact for all things blog.

FAE

@TimStone Oh. Well then.

Tim Stone

So harass at will ;)

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

5:15 PM

sigh I hate the way the election site is being deployed. And I don't like Google Code either (though I suppose GitHub isn't that much better either)

Tim Stone

Yeah, there's about a million and one things on my todo list related to making that process better. :/

Well, GitHub is significantly better for accepting changesets from non-owners, but since we all have ownership that's not an issue.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

It can't be that hard, right? Direct, restricted ssh/ftp access to the server. Upload files, restart the monitoring process. Done.

Tim Stone

Right. It might be possible to set up a TeamCity build for it too like Data Explorer has, but I'm not sure.

At least in that case all someone would have to do was press a button (even if it wasn't us)

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Again, I think that may be more complicated than it need be. There isn't a 'build process' here. Just upload file, restart process.

I'm mostly annoyed by the fact that there's no access to the files, so no uploading and no logs

Grace Note

Hum?

Tim Stone

5:21 PM

Yeah, but it allows automating the pull from Google Code and the restart, so we wouldn't need actual access to the environment.

Grace Note

Oh. Election stuff. Not blog stuff. Blog stuff was just a side-mention.

Tim Stone

I mean part of the problem is the backend that's running right now is some of my terrible code and is completely unreliable, but. :P

@GraceNote Yah, sorry for the confusion.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

In theory. In practise it hasn't worked since... Forever (pardon the pun)

Tim Stone

I blame myself for 90% of that. Obviously the times when it's been completely down weren't my fault, though. ;)

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Hrump

Who's in charge of this on the SE side anyway? Zypher?

Tim Stone

5:30 PM

Well, that's the thing. I have no idea now that it's not Rebecca.

So I suppose we should ask about that.

Grace Note

@FAE I don't.

@GraceNote Oh. I'm confuzzled.

Grace Note

I don't currently have a 3DS. That's not to say I won't ever have one.

The last three platforms we've purchased have been done well after their release and, more to point, after a sufficient amount of titles for the system have been released that we've been interested in.

@GraceNote There were on sale at Best Buy for $169.99 for the 3DS XL... that may have ended, though.

Nope, went back up to normal price.

@AshleyNunn Planning on getting it.

fbueckert

user15026

I have to save some more money and get it.

user15026

And then try to save for Pandora's Tower.

Ben Brocka

@AshleyNunn Pikmin is enough for me. Plus yoshi. I think there was one or two others

A Kirby would be very welcome too

user15026

5:55 PM

@BenBrocka I have never played a Pikmin game.

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn Are you planning to pick up Ni No Kuni as well?

@GraceNote To be fair, I mentioned it in here last week when they were on sale.

Jason Berkan

@Wipqozn I have the demo downloaded on my PS3, but haven't had time to install it...

Grace Note

I'll probably still not get one for a while.

Wipqozn

@JasonBerkan The demo doesn't do the game justice in my opinion.

Powerlord

Jan 31 at 15:36, by Powerlord

Speaking of 3DS XL, Best Buy has them for $170 USD this week.

Ben Brocka

Huh, apparently it's more common than I thought for consoles to launch with terrible libraries: gamecube lineup

I could swear Pikmin was a launch title, but I may have just got it with my console. I think I got it for christmas

user15026

5:58 PM

@BenBrocka My biggest sadness about my gamecube purchase was that I got it literally two days after they stopped selling it with a copy of the Zelda compliation disc

Ben Brocka

@AshleyNunn 1 and 2 are both really great

user15026

@BenBrocka I might have to find copies of them then :)

Powerlord

@BenBrocka As much as I like Luigi's Mansion, it just wasn't a Mario game.

Ben Brocka

I hate their limited release compilations. I wanted that damn metroid trillogy. Still do, but it's insanely priced now

Powerlord

Also, only a month or so more until the sequel! \o/

user15026

5:59 PM

@Powerlord It wasn't, but I liked it.

Ben Brocka

@Powerlord They don't always have to be just mario games

user15026

@Powerlord I can't wait. it looks SO AWESOME

Ben Brocka

One of my favorite "mario" games, if not my single favorite, is Yoshi's Island

fbueckert

@BenBrocka Loved that game.

user15026

@BenBrocka I love Yoshi's Island, and Yoshi's Island DS

Ben Brocka

6:00 PM

Granted it was sort of weird the gamecube lacked a "normal" mario game. I never did get Sunshine

user15026

I liked Sunshine.

Ben Brocka

loved luigi's mansion though

user15026

@BenBrocka That was one of my most favourite GC games

Ben Brocka

@Powerlord I'm kinda sad it's been relegated to portable-land though

Jason Berkan

@Wipqozn In what way(s)? (Just so I know what to think if I hate/like the demo?)

user15026

6:01 PM

@BenBrocka I'm not - means I can actually play it XD

Ben Brocka

I guess it might work well, I'm just always iffy when that happens. Kirby's been mostly relegated to portables, and while the games are great, I liked them best on the big screen like Super Star

Powerlord

@BenBrocka The last console series Nintendo relegated to portable-land was... not what I expected.

And yes, I'm referring to Paper Mario.

Ben Brocka

Also Wii U Luigi's mansion makes tons of sense. Game Boy Horror-> stupid Wii U pad thing

user15026

@BenBrocka Oh, that would work.

fbueckert

I played Yoshi's Island to death when I got it for Christmas. Too bad it was so short.

Ben Brocka

6:02 PM

@Powerlord Kirby seems to have survived the portable trip much better than most. But Kirby started portable

user15026

@Powerlord I was not in total total love with Paper Mario like I wanted to be. I think they really took a lot of the good stuff out.

Ben Brocka

@fbueckert 100% completing it was not short. That stuff's hard as hell

user15026

I would love a new Mario and Luigi game.

fbueckert

@BenBrocka Eight days.

user15026

Like Bowser's Inside Story. That game was AWESOME.

Ben Brocka

6:03 PM

@AshleyNunn Super Paper Mario murdered it. Sticker Star seemed like a half-assed way to put it back together and mostly fail

Powerlord

@AshleyNunn Yes. I didn't want to call it bad, per se, but Yahtzee's review nailed a lot of the things I wanted to say about it.

Ben Brocka

@AshleyNunn I did really like partners in time

user15026

@BenBrocka This. So much this.

Powerlord

@BenBrocka What about Bowser's Inside Story?

Ben Brocka

And now lunch

@FAE That's a good way to describe it

FAE

@AshleyNunn It was just... weird.

user15026

@FAE Very much so

FAE

Not necessarily bad, but not quite a traditional Mario game and it was just very bizarre.

user15026

6:10 PM

@FAE It did have a lot of strange story bits

Powerlord

@FAE They also increased the difficulty for no discernible reason.

user15026

"Recipes can't be copywrited, so I can just use them and steal them"....well, that's not true. They can be copywrited.

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn And very often are.

Like the Coke recipe.

You can use it, personally, and Coke won't have much recourse.

And tons of other really big brand name recipes.

@fbueckert Precisely. And stealing other bloggers work, for example, is another area.

@fbueckert Did they actually apologize yet?

fbueckert

Speaking of copyright fiascos, I'm waiting with bated breath about Prenda Law's next move.

@FAE I don't think so.

I think all he wanted was credit, and that's the one thing Fox won't give him.

@FAE They told him he should be grateful for the exposure.

FAE

6:22 PM

I think it's very cool that he's donating the February proceeds of his version.

user15026

Even though he is uncredited.

@AshleyNunn Yeah, I knew about that part, I was wondering if there was any response from them after he announced he'd be doing the donation.

@FAE Nope.

Michel

@FAE Dank

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn It's the same worldview as when you go for a raise; your personal problems are not their problem. You have to show how you provide value to the company.

You want a tip? Provide value.

user15026

@fbueckert Exactly.

Wipqozn

Personally I hate the concept of tipping. The fact it's existence allows workers who can expect tips to get paid below minimum wage makes me hate it all the more.

I don't necessarily agree with the tipping culture. But that's what we have

user15026

@Wipqozn Every time someone tipped me at TH I was like....why are you doing this

Wipqozn

I'll tip Waitress, and that's about it.

I've tipped a hair dresser on the rarest of occasions, and that's because they managed to get me in and out really bloody fast, which is what matters more to me than anything else.

user15026

6:43 PM

for me I am really hesitant to tip.

Mana

@Wipqozn did they shave you?

FAE

Unless service was egregious or something, I always tip.

Wipqozn

And the only reason I tip waitresses is I know how shitty their pay is, since the government is still living in the dark ages. Tipped workers should get paid the same as everyone else. Tips shouldn't be used to bring them up to minimum wage.

tiddy

@FAE same. I typically just reduce the tip for sub par service

I don't think i've never tipped

Wipqozn

@Mana HAir dresses won't shave, only barbers. I've been to a barber once, and I got a shave.

FAE

6:45 PM

@tiddy Yeah, same.

Mana

@Wipqozn o

user15026

@FAE I do, usually, but there have been a few cases of extreme terrible service where I haven't

Wipqozn

I'm really cheap with tips. I usually only do 10%. It balances out since the friend I almost always go with usually tips at least 20%.

FAE

My mom worked as a server when I was a kid for a while. She had 3 part-time jobs she was doing at once to make ends meet, 2 of them were as servers at 2 different restaurants.

Wipqozn

If the server was excellent he'll often go as high as 25%.

tiddy

6:45 PM

I default to 20%

FAE

@Wipqozn I'll do the same.

Tipping here in the NL is weird to me. You don't have to because everyone here is paid at least minimum wage.

user15026

@FAE I like tipping if people do well. I will tip highly if they are awesome :)

It took me a long time to get used to the idea that I didn't have to tip as much.

@fbueckert That's what I mean - those people will easily get a 20-25%

user15026

@SaintWacko Nope.

fbueckert

@AshleyNunn So my buddy tells me, anyways. I never tried it.

Wipqozn

@tiddy ...and my hair doesn't look like crap. I thought that was implied, but okay.

SaintWacko

6:50 PM

@AshleyNunn Hm

Wipqozn

I don't get any fancy hair styles. When they ask me what I want say: short.

SaintWacko

Refreshed and they're fixed

Powerlord

@AshleyNunn So, sudden topic change... how are things going in 999?

fbueckert

Japan's toast is something on a whole different level, as a sidenote.

user15026

My mom cuts my hair, and dyes it for me :D

Wipqozn

6:50 PM

That way I can wait longer before needing to go back to get my hair cut.

user15026

So I can pay her in cookies

@Wipqozn In the US, federal law states that the employer must make up the difference if the income from tips doesn't bring the hourly salary of the employee up to minimum wage, at least. Not that only making bare minimum wage would be that great either, and you'd have to know you were getting stiffed to begin with.

user15026

@Powerlord Walls of text are a little discouraging

Wipqozn

@TimStone Well that's something at least.

Powerlord

@AshleyNunn On the bright side, the sequel has voice acting. For everyone except the main character.

@Powerlord Oh, that is tempting, gives me something to work toward

fbueckert

@Wipqozn If you can prove it, anyways. And employers will skirt that any which way they can.

user15026

@fbueckert This, this, this.

Powerlord

@AshleyNunn It has both English and Japanese voice options, and it asks you every time you load a saved game, so you can switch just by saving and reloading. :D

user15026

@Powerlord So aweosme

FAE

@Powerlord Oh that's neat.

Wipqozn

6:53 PM

In any case, I think we can all agree that Stephen Harper is a douche.

FAE

I need to work through 999 as well, just picked it up on vacation.

Powerlord

(by sequel, I mean Virtue's Last Reward)

FAE

@Wipqozn Yes.

Wipqozn

That's not really related to this conversation, but I just felt like it needed to be said.

Powerlord

Oh, and the third game is already in development!

user15026

6:53 PM

@Wipqozn Yep.

fbueckert

I am debating whether to hammer through all of Wheel of Time again before reading the last book.

fredley

@Wipqozn I agree. Tipping is not something I like. I'm glad it's kept to a minimum here
