@spugsley Would you actually like constructive feedback on this point on your novel, or is it still too early? With only 20 or so pages, I'm figuring more broad feedback is helpful than specific feedback?

NOTE: I have not read but the first paragraph, I'm just figuring out how I should read it

I feel that was important to say so you didn't think I thought it was butts because I haven't even read it yet

Also, I doubt it is butts. The first paragraph wasn't butts

teehee, I said butts

@Ktash hahah general is better at this point. I mainly need to make sure it makes sense to more than just my mind :p

What happens if you install a game to an external drive and then remove it? Does the game just not work if you try to start it? Does it get "uninstalled" according to Steam? Does Steam have serious problems? What if you plug it back in later? Does it work easily, or does it take a lot of work?

International Friendship Day

International Friendship Day is a day for celebrating friendship. The day has been celebrated in several southern South American countries for many years, particularly in Paraguay, where the first World Friendship Day was proposed in 1958. Initially created by the greeting card industry, evidence from social networking sites shows a revival of interest in the holiday that may have grown with the spread of the Internet, particularly in India, Bangladesh, and Malaysia. Digital communication modes such as the Internet and mobile phones may be helping to popularize the custom, since greetin...

Quick tag question: for http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/126739/is-there-a-date-set-for-the-official-release-of-the-evil-wizard "The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot" has a long name - longer than a 25 char tag - so the OP gave it the tag "tmq-for-epic-loot" which seems confusing with the first part acronym'd and they want a better tag - I agree that it needs it.

On the official site, in their page title, they go by simply "Mighty Quest for Epic Loot", but the tag just hits 26 chars (doh!). I was thinking of just [mighty-quest-epic-loot]. Thoughts? Better ideas? Policies I missed since …

@badp That's what I said.

@skovacs1 Great minds think alike. Edited

SO LONG AS THEY AGREE WITH ME

but the game is in closed beta, is it ok to ask questions about it?

@badp It's clear in my mind and as long as the tag wiki lists the full name, there should be no concerns.

@Blem I was actually looking into that. It doesn't seem completely closed, but I do think the question's bad. The question is specifically about the release schedule for the beta which is not only dated as beta and launch progress, but asking developer intention.

I was edifying the user about tag changes. I wanted to let them know how to go about it before I voted to close the question.

Q: When is a game publicly available?

@Blem Yes.

16

I have posted this question and it seems that a bunch of guys in the chat have decided that a game has to be publicly available to be able to ask questions about it. Considering this is what the community really wants: When is a game publicly available? Obviously: When the game is released. W...

discussion allowed-questions

11:57 AM

of course the question was about a future update, so it's OT anyway

@Sterno The issue isn't exactly that it's in closed beta, it's that it is asking, "is there an estimated date set somewhere by ubisoft on which he will be unlocked for the rest of the beta testers" which reads to me as asking developer intentions.

All the same. 'tis 5 in the morn here on trash day so I must be off. Good seeing you all again.

@skovacs1 That is indeed a different problem.

12:13 PM

This tag wiki is horrible.

The excerpt and the first paragraph in particular.

Well, it's a wiki. You know what to do

I'd rather leave that to someone a little more involved in the tag and/or meta.

@Blem Rule of thumb for closed betas: If someone who is not a member of the press or the company making the game or the industry has to sign an NDA to play the game, we probably don't want questions about it here.

If you're in a beta that you could get into by signing up for a website and you didn't need to do an NDA to be in said Beta, then go nuts.

The first rule of closed betas under NDAs is that we don't talk about closed betas under NDAs.

Except really that should be more a guideline for the asker than those of us who might vote to close, because we aren't in the best position to know whether or not an NDA was required.

A: When is a game publicly available?

aaaand, I wrote it as an answer because I don't like the other two enough.

0

Rule of thumb: If a game can be played by people who are not members of the press/industry without signing an NDA, than it's fair game, with an exception for things like event-previews; i.e. we don't want Q&A's about the PAX Floor Demo of one level of Hot New Shooter #37. If you're in a closed b...

12:24 PM

@Sterno SE isn't bound by the NDA, so "it's an NDA" is irrelevant to us anyway. It's been a problem because people bitch "NDA" on Stack Overflow whenever there's an iOS beta but 1) it's not SE's problem 2) deleting those questions only hurts the large amount of people that are using the new xcode

@BenBrocka My issue is how we are supposed to know whether or not the beta has an NDA when viewing the question and deciding if it should be closed.

As long as we err on the side of "leave it open" without overwhelming evidence that there is an NDA, I'm happy

Don't give a shit about NDAs! It doesn't matter since we're not bound by them anyway

@BenBrocka Then argue with LessPop, not me

While we don't care about NDAs themselves, I think it is a pretty good guideline to separate "real" betas from the now rather common marketing betas

@MadScientist This this this this this.

OrigamiRobot

12:26 PM

@BenBrocka YEA, LET'S BREAK SOME RULES!

Beyond that, it's just a matter of being consistent with our other policies regarding illegal content. No, SE is not party to the NDA, but SE also isn't party to the EULA on a multiplayer game, and we don't allow questions about breaking those either.

@OrigamiRobot Rules we're not bound by are not by any definition, rules

Not to us anyway

@BenBrocka And yet, we don't allow questions about violations of EULA's.

12:29 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz Not really relevant. They've already broken the NDA and we're not teaching them now to do so

13

Is it the job of StackOverflow moderators to enforce these agreements and delete these posts? No, it isn't: But as a general rule, Stack Overflow exists to spread knowledge, not to give smug people the chance to play petty censorship games. The value of the diffusion of knowledge by far...

@BenBrocka We'd be facilitating it, though.

@BenBrocka Regardless, it's also a nice clear bright line between 'Betas' and real betas of the sort we don't actually want questions about.

@LessPop_MoreFizz I think the distinction is more subtle. The stuff we don't allow is usually in the EULAs, but the reason we don't allow e.g. multiplayer cheating is not because it is prohibited in the EULA, but because we just don't like that kind of behaviour. I'd have no problem with allowing questions that violate parts of the EULA I consider extremely stupid

@LessPop_MoreFizz There's a difference between questions about breaking the EULA and questions that break the EULA themselves.

@MadScientist It isn't that subtle - we don't allow questions about WoW private servers, for example.

12:34 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz That's because it's pretty much piracy and we don't like that.

Q: What do I do if I believe there is serial down voting going on?

@BenBrocka And that pretty much fits what I was saying... whether or not we even have the responsibility to keep them from breaking the NDA (we don't), we aren't in a position to know if there is one

Though I guess extending that, we're not always in a position to even know if there's a beta, so by my argument we should never answer any questions!

12:41 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz I honestly wouldn't be surprised if those are only two or three downvotes per person.

@FEichinger yar.

@badp There's a Wildstar beta right now. It's comprised of people who signed up on the website and got a random invite. There is an NDA and the Wildstar team aggressively shuts down leaks. I wouldn't want to see a Wildstar question here.

@LessPop_MoreFizz It's the asker's problem, really.

The top answer on that meta about NDAs is kind of interesting in regards to YouTube actually exposing itself to liability once it tried proactively policing it's content.

And the answerers' too

@badp I'm of the opinion that since the only people able to answer the question aren't able to do so legally, it's just a hanging invitation for speculation.

12:43 PM

Which just makes me think that the legal system is stupid.

I suppose if someone is dumb enough to ask a question that reflects actual gameplay experience and not just "What is the Mechari racial ability?" we can leave it open, but.... yeah.

@LessPop_MoreFizz do we have to be in the beta to know when somebody is making stuff up or extrapolating from other games?

(btw downvoting is, luckily, anonymous)

I don't think questions about "real" betas make any sense at all. The only reason we're not prohibiting all questions about betas is that the term "beta" has lost all meaning

2

also why are you guys downvoting that meta question of Guilo's?

It's a perfectly legitimate question. On its own.

@MadScientist THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS

12:45 PM

@badp I doubt anyone is saying we should be acting on a hunch. It's more of an 'if we know there is an NDA, let's murder it'.

@badp Probably because it shows no research effort.

@LessPop_MoreFizz "When I logged on today it said I had lost over 24 reputation to down-voting. It's not just on one question which would make a little sense. It's questions that have been inactive for 6 months or so. How can I report this?"

You can't do more research effor than this as a regular user

I actually searched for "serial down vote" assuming it would be a dupe on meta but turned nothing useful up

@badp Half of them have Guilo-style horrible titles. I would've downvoted them, too.

12:49 PM

@badp The one from 8 minutes ago is me. It is a dumb question, and not a serial downvote.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Can you elaborate more on what you mean by beta becoming meaninless, or "marketing beta" as mentioned above. I'm not really sure what you guys mean.

@LessPop_MoreFizz oh, right, that was one line a little too tall

@Sterno Minecraft.

@badp Looks a bit like someone trying to evade the algorithm, but might also be harmless

I think it's easy to agree that the rest stinks though

12:50 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz And almost every MMO ever.

@MadScientist The voting page shows trouble, but I don't think I have the full story so I'm just sending this to the team

@LessPop_MoreFizz Okay, that makes sense. I thought you guys were kind of talking it in the other direction, where "beta" was being applied to things too closed to really be considered a beta

@badp Let's also not forget that almost every question from that user looks the same: Random phrase with a question mark for a title, one line for the body, no explanation, research or other info provided. It's a pattern, and we sure as hell want to discourage that.

@Sterno No, the issue is that we used to just say "NO BETAS AT ALL", but the problem is that lots of games that are basically released and widely available had a beta tag slapped on them because dumb reasons, so we need a new standard that keeps out truly bad pre-release content.

@FEichinger You might've missed the part where I don't think I have the full story so I'm just sending this to the team

12:52 PM

@badp I'm just giving what I think may be the reasoning behind the downvotes.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Okay, I get what you're saying now. I have a fundamental disagreement that "real" betas shouldn't be discussed, but I think I at least get your point now. And I just remembered, I don't care about this issue anyway!

I can definitely see someone combing through those 100+ posts of his, systematically evaluating them for that pattern.

(yes I do, but I shouldn't)

If someone really hates his question titles that much, editing them would be far more useful.

@badp Yeah, this is the problem with the serial downvoting automation is that sometimes a user deserves to be downvoted a lot.

@Sterno Not really; the questions themselves are just as bad as the titles.

@LessPop_MoreFizz and sometimes you don't have to be the person who gives him all of the downvotes he deserves

12:54 PM

No point in putting lipstick on a bunch of pigs

because by doing so you inevitably expose yourself.

@Sterno It's a pattern we shouldn't fix anymore. A new user, sure. But someone who's been here that long? No friggin way.

@badp No, but 6 of them does not seem to be an inappropriate number.

@FEichinger Or downvote and fix. Because if they're not getting closed, it just leaves that trash on the site.

@LessPop_MoreFizz There are multiple signs of trouble with the data I have, causing varying amount of alarm in me

I do not have the data to say "okay this is definitely abuse by this person" though

12:55 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz You can't actually hit the serial voting script without targeting a user (with the rare exception of a user posting a lot of questions in very quick succession). If you only vote on the bad posts of that user you encounter organically, you won't hit it, only if you go through the user's profile, and that is something that should be discouraged by the script

@Sterno That's what I've been doing for a while. But after repeatedly telling him not to post like that, we shouldn't be doing the patching up for him anymore. He won't fix it himself if we do it for him every time.

@FEichinger Or maybe he just won't do it himself. Ever.

Yes, going through an user's profile to check all the things and downvote what needs to be downvoted is not a wise idea

@Sterno In which case bombarding him with downvotes from multiple people by leaving it be isn't all that bad.

especially if your "final verdict" is "they all deserve downvoting"

@MadScientist I sometimes go through a users profile to see what else they've posted. Sometimes I am horrified by what I see and want to downvote several of them.

@FEichinger We're going in circles! That's why I said downvote and fix

@Sterno No, no fixing anymore. He's had enough chances. Now it's time to make him feel the blow.

@Sterno But that just encourages future visitors to get angry about there having been a downvote on his behalf, encouraging a sympathy upvote, and the cycle continues, but he has an ever increasing amount of reputation and power.

Hell, even with it looking shitty, he's going to get sympathy upvotes.
