I don't know that I'm ready to try for the Destroyer of Worlds cert.

Right now I've got my Destroyer of Social Circles cert.

Destroyer of Worlds, much like CCNA is just not one I'm ready for yet.

BlueBarren

@MadMAxJr this is probably why @ash is taking 6-8 years to train for their certification

ToxicFrog

Apropos of this, I learned today that I can change my job title to anything I want and, independently, print any title I want on my business cards.

This seems ripe for mischief.

RedRiderX

@ToxicFrog Can you just arbitrarily order a new run of official cards whenever you want?

Also apropos of non of this. I found a webserver.

ToxicFrog

@RedRiderX yep! Really I probably should have done so a ~year ago when we moved buildings since the physical address on the old ones is now wrong, but who uses physical addresses?

RedRiderX

It looks like a regular cpanel sort of setup

except

They serve the site out of the directory above the normal webroot

ToxicFrog

7:22 PM

...so like, the normal webroot is ~/www/, but issuing GET / gets you the contents of ~?

RedRiderX

I am browsing old emails sent and revived by email addresses on this domain

@ToxicFrog yes

ToxicFrog

GET /.ssh/id_rsa

RedRiderX

@ToxicFrog Nah really seems like a basic cpanel setup so ssh is asking for too much.

Q: Giving in to offended people is never a good idea

Since no moderator bothered to answer me privately, I drag this into public. For years I had the same user name here and now I am forced to change it because 1 Person got offended? That is a stupid thing to do. Do I really need to start reporting every user who's name I don't like to put your sys...

So I answered this question: Pros Playing in 4:3 I wrote as a comment below "MAD PAINT SKILLZ!". This was meant as a joke. But someone deleted it. Enough is enough.. Yes, yes, I know you have your shitty "no freedom of speech here" answer, but you know what? I don't care. If we cannot have so...

@DanmakuGrazer I'm not sure why you are linking this here, there's no need to rehash previous drama boringness

DanmakuGrazer

Avery

I apologize to the mods for the headache.

user15026

@DanmakuGrazer This isn't related at all though other than being the same user and it was literally years ago

DanmakuGrazer

I guess you don't see it as context

Q: Is it better to build lines or clusters?

In topsoil, should I be trying to form my groups in lines or clusters? Not sure what the best approach for a clean board is and I find myself ending up with lots of small sections instead of a few big sections before too long.

topsoil

DanmakuGrazer

8:09 PM

I'm just gonna answer that if nobody minds

That meta post up there

user15026

I don't see any issues with that, as long as you don't mind any disagreement that might come out of it (not saying there will be, just something to keep in mind because, well, meta)

murgatroid99

And badp deleted it

DanmakuGrazer

Of course. I was going to ask my own answer, but since it already exists...

user15026

@murgatroid99 he's not talking about the name change meta

murgatroid99

Oh. I missed that there was another one linked in between

badp

8:16 PM

@murgatroid99 after thinking about it I will actually undelete

I felt that, since the user says they don't care about regular users' opinions, just moderators', and moderators responded privately, then there was no further point to have the question hanging around

however, we don't have a close reason on meta for "this is not a question but a rant"

and I guess delete isn't a super vote-to-close button

whoops~

Avery

the good ol' minimodding is there

murgatroid99

@badp Isn't that covered by "unclear what you're asking"?

badp

@murgatroid99 I mean it's pretty clear what they're asking. They're asking why their name was changed, and whether it's appopriate to change it in response to a user flag.

user62277

@badp DO you really think it is a good idea to delete a thread where I call you out for abusive behavior and then reset my user name again, even though it is within guidelines?

dont you think that crosses a line?

If you handle complaints against you yourself?

badp

I do not and I have just explained that I undeleted your question

user62277

Q: What Skill/Build is this?

Five seconds into this video, there is a character performing a laser skill which seems to wipe the entire map. What skill is this? Are there build guides for this character? Can this character be played without the DLCs?

grim-dawn

user62277

Especially since you announced this action in chat, I am sure they will find it interesting...

Avery

Mods can say "X is banned", mods can't say "X is banned because of Y".

user62277

He said "This user has another thing coming to him". He basically announced it in chat in front of everyone

that is not alright

And making a support request does not violate any rules and you also don't need to seek input from others

BlueBarren

8:24 PM

@Avery shouldn't some kind of FAQ or rules say why? Why would the reasoning behind something be specified?

Avery

@BlueBarren there's moderation ToS or smth

user62277

@Avery i.sstatic.net/CXMJv.png

Yuuki

@BlueBarren What value do you get out of knowing @Wipqozn was chatbanned for being literally the worst?

Avery

saw it.

BlueBarren

@Avery makes sense

user62277

8:25 PM

And why can a moderator handle complaints against him himself?

That is normally a no-go

BlueBarren

@Yuuki uh... can I phone a friend?

@user62277 I would assume that was said because rants are expected to get lots of downvotes

badp

@user62277 I of course need to seek support from our user base and the reaction to your question is unanimously condemning

murgatroid99

@user62277 As you have already pointed out, moderators can be held accountable to the SE staff. So, there is a reasonable recourse in cases where such actions do turn out to be abusive

user62277

@BlueBarren Just that he just went to delete the thread AND reset my profile a 2nd time even though it was within the rules.

that was pure payback

for me calling his bs out

Avery

@BlueBarren stackoverflow.com/legal/moderator-agreement

BlueBarren

8:27 PM

@user62277 well you did have a considerably disrespectful username

user62277

what is disrespectful about the truth?

Wipqozn

@Sterno I've got a lot of people asking me to play that some more, so you're probably right.

Kaz Wolfe

(on an unrelated note, mods can not handle complaints against themselves. it's impossible to hide things from fellow mods, and team CMs will also see it.)

user62277

They did go and delete my name "Assylum" which is not problematic at all after years with no issue

and the mods saw this name in the past

and took no action

BlueBarren

@user62277 idk there can be a lot. I'm fat which is the truth doesn't mean I want people to call me fat

user62277

8:28 PM

They took action because 1 person got offended

So yes, a special snowflake got offended and why give in to 1 person complaining?

Yuuki

As far as I understand, there's no reason to be discussing this. If @user62277 has a complaint about @badp's mod actions, then he should bring it to the SE staff rather than complaining about it here.

badp

I have elaborated on the action in my moderator message to you

user62277

I am gonna start to make lists with usernames I dont like and send them weekly to stack exchange

from different mails

BlueBarren

now that just sounds like spam

Avery

If the moderation didn't agree, the flag wouldn't be accepted.

badp

8:30 PM

Please feel free to flag any objectionable username. We handle these flags constantly

user62277

AS I said, they saw my user name on more than one occassion and took no action

badp

Most such users get swiftly destroyed.

murgatroid99

@user62277 I don't think stating your intent to harass SE is going to work in your favor

user62277

Ok, I report hereby Badp as a username I dont like because penis starts with p and I dont like bad penises

Unionhawk

I hate to be that guy, but that isn't how flags work

user62277

8:31 PM

I am making a point

Yuuki

I mean, there's literally no reason for him to bring up the topic here. What am I as a room owner going to do about @badp possibly taking some unsavory mod action? Un-owner and re-owner him?

MadMAxJr

I don't think there's anybody in here who can help you.

Kaz Wolfe

(i can go get Him)

user62277

I already knew this would end up with me getting banned here, even though I break no rules, bot go ahead lol. That is how you guys always handle criticism

Yuuki

Bring it up to the SE staff and leave it at that. Ranting in a chatroom is just grandstanding and trying to get attention rather than actually doing anything effective.

badp

Feel free to respond to the moderator message you have received. Community managers receive and review these messages.

Avery

@KazWolfe there's no need. That's his responsibility as he's the one who's fighting against a mod's actions.

user62277

I want you to undelete the thread. Period badp. It was out of line for you to delete it.

Kaz Wolfe

@user62277 The thread is currently undeleted.

user62277

because it contains criticism about you

murgatroid99

8:33 PM

@user62277 It was undeleted 15 minutes ago

badp

As I pointed out already it is undeleted. I decided to undelete it before you jumped on chat.

I have explained why I reached the decision to delete it and why I have reversed it

user62277

Good. At least something today.

Yuuki

Agh, my back hurts, I feel like an old man.

user15026

@KazWolfe I don't know who you mean but I don't think whatever action you are considering is remotely necessary

Yuuki

Oh and my eyes feel like they're on fire whenever I close my eyelids.

MadMAxJr

Yuuki

MadMAxJr

@Yuuki Viral Eye Infection

Dragonrage

@Unionhawk i was just there. can confirm

Avery

@user62277 nnnot true. I usually have it when I stare at screens for too long.

Dragonrage

humidity is terrible there

Yuuki

@MadMAxJr I think I'm going to give it a day because I might be recovering from sleeping in an undersized RV bed for the past four days.

Unionhawk

8:36 PM

Which is technically accurate even if that's not what's wrong with your eyes

Yuuki

One that was really uncomfortable to boot.

Unionhawk

Unless it's not accurate in which case oh well

Yuuki

@Dragonrage Feels bad when the air is on fire.

Dragonrage

@Yuuki more like the air is boiling. the air cant be on fire with that much humidity

MadMAxJr

Air can't catch on fire till about 1000F

But at that point heat is no longer a problem for anyone.

Dragonrage

8:40 PM

@MadMAxJr what if the air has 193% humidity?

badp

Please keep in mind that the answer to the question "is this inappropriate/offensive/unacceptable" by necessity varies with time, culture and context. If this stuff could be decided in the absolute with regular expressions we would do just that.

There are no easy answers.

user15026

@Yuuki That might do it actually

MadMAxJr

@Dragonrage You'll need to work it into the equation of auto-ignition.

Autoignition temperature

The autoignition temperature or kindling point of a substance is the lowest temperature at which it spontaneously ignites in normal atmosphere without an external source of ignition, such as a flame or spark. This temperature is required to supply the activation energy needed for combustion. The temperature at which a chemical ignites decreases as the pressure or oxygen concentration increases. It is usually applied to a combustible fuel mixture. Autoignition temperatures of liquid chemicals are typically measured using a 500-millilitre (18 imp fl oz; 17 US fl oz) flask placed in a temperature...
