@Dragonrage That's basically why I'm asking.. I don't have the deputy badge, but if it's one that is expected, it seems ridiculous to flag instead of VTC just for a badge. (Yet it's one that's counted when running for moderator)

GodEmperorDune

@TimS. part of it is that you can't VTC a bad answer, VLQ is your only choice there

Tim S.

just an interesting conundrum IMO

@GodEmperorDune Ah, okay

StrixVaria

@TimS. You can't flag to close once you have enough rep to vote to close, if that's what you're saying.

Flagging to close just alerts people with enough rep to vote to close to take a look at it.

Tim S.

@StrixVaria That's kind of what I'm getting at, ie if I haven't earned the deputy/marshall badges by the time I hit 3k rep, there's no point in trying now

Ok, that's what I was getting at

StrixVaria

@GodEmperorDune Please don't flag as VLQ if it attempts to be an answer and is just crappy.

That's what downvotes are for.

Unionhawk

7:01 PM

You can totally do it, just, answers, and really that should be reserved for NAA

StrixVaria

VLQ is for patent nonsense like an answer that says "apples.........................................................................‌................lol"

ardaozkal

watch dogs 2 seems... lame

StrixVaria

or "ofajlerfl awfkljaew faoeiwjfaoew fuaewfu79a8324 ufaiwndfj a"

Tim S.

ooh, a crypto-quote.. I wanna play I wanna play

GodEmperorDune

@StrixVaria no, i was not intended for VLQ to be a super downvote

Unionhawk

7:02 PM

I mean

StrixVaria

Flags are generally for things that regular users can't handle.

If an answer needs to be deleted, then you can flag.

Tim S.

Gotcha, that makes sense

StrixVaria

If 3kers or regular users can manage to do it, then a flag is the wrong choice.

Unionhawk

I mean, it throws it into the queue

Tim S.

because a closed question doesn't get deleted, it's just closed

right

GodEmperorDune

7:04 PM

@TimS. yes, vote to delete is a separate thing.

Tim S.

@StrixVaria thanks for the clarification, exactly what I was looking for

StrixVaria

One of the mod flag decline reasons is "flags should only be used to make moderators aware of content that requires their intervention"

I have to use it a lot.

Tim S.

haha, Yeah I admit I've seen that one before

hopefully not too much

StrixVaria

I don't remember you specifically from the queue, so we're ok :)

Tim S.

well thats a relief.. hahaha

Dragonrage

7:05 PM

most of my flags come from spam flags nowadays

Tim S.

I know it was only 1 or two times

Sterno

@StrixVaria It's also really confusing to new users because you flag something and a pre-populated list of flag reasons appears, you pick one that directly applies, and then sometimes (but not always) the flag gets rejected as "Why'd you flag this, bro?"

When it's like "THE SYSTEM SPECIFICALLY SUPPORTS FLAGGING FOR THIS"

StrixVaria

Yeah, it's not the most intuitive system.

I have to go sit on a train for 90 minutes though.

I can't help with this discussion any more right now.

Sterno

Do you even mobile chat, bro?

Unionhawk

Probably not

Dragonrage

7:06 PM

also i flag for mod attention if questions are exact dups but neither have an answer

Tim S.

Oh wow, I contacted Carmax to make an appointment to sell my wife's car, and the person who responded has a name of John Hamm. It would be hilarious if it was the John Hamm...

Sterno

I miss the days when you could VTC unanswered dupes

GodEmperorDune

@StrixVaria looks like i have 340 helpful flags, 6 declined, and 3 disputed

@Sterno yeah, those were the days

i've upvoted an answer on a dupe, done the VTC dance, then retracted the upvote

Any unix sys admins in the bay area interested in applying for my job here at lucasflm/ILM?

I wish I could say I'd get a referral bonus, but I wouldn't

Yuuki

If you can teach me how to be a Unix sysadmin before the interview, I'd be up for it.

Dragonrage

7:09 PM

@twobugs, why do you leave custom comments on VLQ posts instead of using the premade ones? seems like it would be easier

Tim S.

@Yuuki I'm afraid not... sorry :)

Can't wait to see Warcraft tonight, so excited. Been waiting for this since I found out it was being made.

GodEmperorDune

@TimS. let us know how it is

Tim S.

Certainly

Won't be giving any spoilers, but the behind the scenes stuff I've seen so far looks totally epic

They actually invented new software to handle all of the hair rendering... they called it HairCraft. hahaha

GodEmperorDune

oh that's right, ILM did the effects, right?

Tim S.

Yep

two bugs

7:20 PM

@Dragonrage I leave them on a lot of other queues, so they don't get the auto comments

Tim S.

I got to watch a piece of the motion capture a while back.. it was one of the coolest things I've seen in tech or gaming ever.

two bugs

Also, some of the auto comments don't do a good job explaining things to new users IMO.

MBraedley

@TimS. You mean the former premiere of Nova Scotia?

Tim S.

@MBraedley Ah, not exactly.. :)

GodEmperorDune

@TimS. like while they were doing the capture? thats awesome

Tim S.

7:21 PM

@MBraedley The Other John Hamm

Wipqozn

@TimS. Well that's not how his name is spelled at all

Tim S.

@GodEmperorDune Yeah. it wasn't all done here, but there are several times I'm on my way to the kitchen and walk past a mo-capper dressed in the ping pong suit, as they call tehm

GodEmperorDune

@TimS. hehehe

Tim S.

@Wipqozn Wow, damn yeah I was focusing on the last name

nevermind, I guess it's not that Mr. Hamm....

Wipqozn

@TimS. So I'm pretty sure you were thinking of the former premier of nova scotia then

You just didn't realie it

Tim S.

7:22 PM

@Wipqozn I guess it's possible he's a car salesman in Fairfield now

I'll find out on Saturday

Thanks to wikipedia for the photo, I can compare

Wipqozn

@Frank That sucks man

MBraedley

> The password of this user has expired.

Tim S.

@Frank yeah that does suck, sorry for that. If you'll still be happier without that job, then I guess that'd be a good thing.

MBraedley

And I need to sign out in order to change my admin account password. Which means I need to close all these windows:

@Wipqozn It does, but at the same time, I think it's a good thing.

I'd prefer to have something lined up, but it shouldn't be hard finding another job.

djsmiley2k

when u find some where, can you hire me too

^^Last time i said something like this, it ended up with me having an interview with Cisco, so it's worth asking!

However they had just filled the final position, so now i'm on the waiting list :/

GodEmperorDune

@djsmiley2k are you a linux admin in the bay area?

djsmiley2k

GodEmperorDune

djsmiley2k

I used to know a guy who went to work for LucasFilm

he was from Lionhead studios over here in the UK

got a job with them in london, then went over to the US and we never heard from him again :O

@GodEmperorDune If they want someone local (and I can understand that) then it's of no use to me, else I would.

Problem being remote jobs are few and hard to come by.

Yuuki

Sysadmin doesn't seem like a job you can do remotely.

djsmiley2k

depends what you're admining

If it's servers in a lights off datacenter, then it doesn't matter where you are

Yuuki

@djsmiley2k They found his lack of faith... disturbing.

GodEmperorDune

8:16 PM

@Yuuki its one of the most remote jobs you can do

badp

@Yuuki wait what

GodEmperorDune

considering that even an on premises sysadmin is usually not physically at the servers

Yuuki

I must have an incorrect picture of sysadmin in my head then.

badp

sysadmins spend most of their time working on everyone else's computers

djsmiley2k

@Yuuki the job role is wide and varied

I can do 99% of it

GodEmperorDune

Q: How can I effectively use Genji's skillset?

In Overwatch, Genji is an assault hero. However, I find it very hard to play as an actual assault, compared to others like McCree, Reaper, and S76. He has a mobility passive and two abilities with semi-long cooldowns, but it feels like at range, his damage is really weak and unstable, and trying ...
