if, after so many bundles, such an URI isn't yet a thing that exists, it's probably because Steam doesn't want one

@Sterno It's a no win scenario. When he gets downvoted anonymously, it ends up on Meta. When he gets down votes with comments explaining why it's being downvoted, there's a backlash in said comments. A stupid thought experiment is a stupid thought experiment, and it is not a useful question. It deserves downvotes, sometimes closure, and if someone is bold enough to do so without fear of reprisal, and is willing to articulate the specific issues, it deserves to be called out as stupid. — LessPop_MoreFizz 10 secs ago

Sterno

18:12

@LessPop_MoreFizz if it can be done semi-constructively, sure. Explain why the question is bad. Saying, essentially, "you suck, and here's some extra reasons beyond this question hwy I think so" really has no business being in the comments.

Basically, I feel like "attack question" = fine, "attack user" = bad

Plus, if it does end up on meta, at least that's a better place to have the discussion.

SaintWacko

Wait, does the Humble Bundle seriously include Dead Space 1 and 3, but not 2?

FEichinger

@Sterno I don't see attacks against the user there beyond the fact that bad questions are a pattern.

Sterno

@FEichinger you didn't see the two deleted comments.

Well, one you might have, since I linked it in chat.

Note that I actually downvoted the question myself and explained why. I have no issue with downvoted or explanations.

Fluttershy

@StrixVaria I have no idea what's going on! <_< I keep getting citations for things I don't understand.

Sterno

The other deleted comment was something about his brother and poor grammar. I forget, exactly.

StrixVaria

18:21

@Fluttershy Like what?

FEichinger

@Sterno That one suspected that it was a question for the "brother", due to the similarities to back when that whole "brother" thing happened.

Fluttershy

@StrixVaria The one I didn't understand was "Invalid Issuing City." Where do I see which cities are valid? O_o

FEichinger

That said, while I agree that the tone of those comments was out of line, it's still criticising the pattern we see. And that entire pattern is bad.

Sterno

Yeah. That's why I left my first comment... Who cares? Why would it matter? What's the point of bringing it up?

FEichinger

@Fluttershy In the rule book. There's a map, and pages for every country

StrixVaria

18:22

@Fluttershy If you go to the map in the book, each country has 3 valid issuing cities listed on the right page.

Fluttershy

@FEichinger Oooooooh. I've just been keeping the rulebook on the main rules page. That explains things!

StrixVaria

Eventually you just memorize all the valid issuing cities :P

FEichinger

@Fluttershy I'd recommend that you check out the whole rulebook at some point. And memorize a lot of stuff.

Sterno

I mean, between metas and other questions, the guy knows our opinion now. Getting all frustrated and rude in comments isn't going to change anything other than make is place seem more hostile.

badp

@Sterno agreed; I've already had to delete a comment from SSD

at any rate, I keep looking at his account and his contributions in general and... I'm of two minds. On the one hand, there seems to be an high amount of deleted answers

On the other hand, that's about it, everything else seems kinda okay from an eagle's eye perspective

LessPop_MoreFizz

18:31

@badp Also a lot of negative score.

badp

@LessPop_MoreFizz He's pretty diligent in deleting negatively scored posts.

Almost everything scored -1 of less of his is deleted

(...or it could be that they're community deleted; I haven't checked)

Sterno

To me he just seems enthusiastic but doesn't quite grok quite how this place works yet.

badp

...he does have 3k rep

Sterno

Well, how rep works. But not what makes a post good

LessPop_MoreFizz

@badp More than 10% of his questions are negative score - that's pretty absurdly high.

FEichinger

18:33

@badp Sheer quantity, not quality.

badp

@LessPop_MoreFizz a 1 in 10 miss rate isn't that bad

LessPop_MoreFizz

Another 10% are at 0 thanks to even numbers of up/downvotes, which is a pattern that reeks of sympathy vote.

badp

of course you don't have numbers on deleted posts

LessPop_MoreFizz

@badp That's wildly out of proportion to the overall rate on the site.

FEichinger

He has just over 17 rep per non-deleted post, right now.

badp

18:35

@FEichinger Well of course he's made some enemies.

Sterno

Another reason I'm anti-user-attack-in-comments is purely selfish... It tends to trigger sympathy upvotes. I mean, that's pretty much the exact opposite effect the commenter intends.

badp

but downvotes only count so much for rep

FEichinger

@badp That just means he doesn't get enough upvotes either.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@badp Out of non-deleted questions, his negative scored rate is roughly ten times the site average. (Roughly 1% of our questions have a negative score.)

badp

@FEichinger so he doesn't get enough upvotes, but his zero voted posts are zero voted because sympathy upvotes. Okay

blinks a little

FEichinger

18:37

@badp He has less than half the rep per post that pretty much every single person in this room has.

You can't tell me that this is because he "made some enemies".

That's just consistently mediocre quality.

Sterno

Is there anything we can do about that? Bitching at him has not proven effective, and I don't see "keeping at it and hope he eventually leaves due to feeling bad" as a particularly wise or effective strategy.

FEichinger

@Sterno We're hoping that he finally gets it together after the fallout on meta.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@badp I'm still waiting to hear why having a miss rate that is ten times the site average 'isn't that bad'.

badp

@LessPop_MoreFizz because you're not looking at deleted posts?

Sterno

The question I mentioned here came out a few days after that meta.

badp

18:39

I can give you numbers if you ask

I'm trying to see what I can and can't disclose.

FEichinger

@Sterno Which is why I'm still doubting that he gets there anytime soon.

Sterno

Anyway, I'm all for explaining why a question is bad and down voting it in the hopes the reason is learned. I just think we may as well remain polite about it.

badp

I suppose that this information doesn't count as personally identifying, so here's the numbers I've run

although I'm sure you're going to turn this into more fuel for your pitchforks :P

(orange: closed questions, purple: deleted questions)

Sterno

There will probably be a point, around 10k, where he stops caring about the rep, too.

badp

yes, the picture that's painted here is one of mediocrity

but "mediocrity" isn't honestly actionable

Sterno

I'm not clear where this is going, I guess.

LessPop_MoreFizz

I wouldn't call that standard of contribution 'mediocre', I would call it quite bad, given that, even if you ignore the deleted contributions, I'll repeat that he has ten times the number of negatively scored questions than the site does as a whole.

@badp Do they actually matter, btw? Everyone can delete their posts - everyone is encouraged/discouraged to do so in the same situations.

badp

@Sterno For bad enough, yes

I believe that all of the mods that have looked at the situation have decided this is not bad enough

given the wide attention the case has received

I mean, "consistently low quality questions over time" is a template for moderator messages that exists, but that's for users that get a shitton of questions closed. That's not quite what's going here

I think I've only seen about 1 or 2 questions of his that are closed

LessPop_MoreFizz

To be clear, I don't think a rules based solution is appropriate; I'm not advocating for banning the guy, because, as @badp notes, he's not breaking any rules.

badp

18:48

excepting those that are closed as dupe

@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm trying to see if I can do something, that's all

LessPop_MoreFizz

But I also want to make clear that he deserves the massive social shitstorm that gets thrown in his direction, because his post quality is consistently well below the norm.

Quite frankly, I don't have any problem with people being rude to people who are stubbornly and flagrantly dumb.

badp

@LessPop_MoreFizz but, see, I'm looking at the vote numbers I can't share, and they paint a relatively average situation with a few outliers

DragonLord

I think that for a user like this, a moderator warning would be a good idea. I don't see any blatant problems other than rather low post quality.

badp

@DragonLord Grace's already had a chat with him

DragonLord

Is there any sign of improvement?

badp

18:50

and while I guess all mods have looked at those and found them not actionable, well, some outliers are going way north

and they're going there way faster than anybody else

not fast enough to call it serial, but is it fast enough to call it "targeted"?

I don't have an answer

LessPop_MoreFizz

@badp Not if the content warrants it.

badp

(I'm not talking about anybody in here, btw)

DragonLord

A 3-5 day suspension may be in order.

LessPop_MoreFizz

badp

@LessPop_MoreFizz but, see, if the content warranted it then there'd be a wide variety of users that agrees

DragonLord

18:52

Maybe shorter, 1-3 days...

badp

but if it's just the same guys that keep deciding the same way, and more than anybody else, well, it doesn't paint them in a nice light

LessPop_MoreFizz

@badp Not neccesarily; he largely posts about games that I completely ignore. I only see his trash when it comes up here and on meta for the most part.

badp

@LessPop_MoreFizz as I said most of the "Bridge regulars" are well below what I'd describe as outliers

and well, if really bad things get shared here, I'd expect them to be roughly aligned, and that's what's going on

...with exceptions

I'm being already more specific than I'd like, btw

the people who got their votes reversed didn't do so because of posts linked on the Bridge

...most likely

the "social shitstorm" may well be responsible for it though

@Brant You are right this game is awesome!

DragonLord

@badp Full controller support, so there's no reason to not be using one

@DragonLord THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION FOR THIS ↑

also the game always gives you the default keyboard layout. Even with a controller plugged in.

So, say, "C" to select, "Z" for back.

DragonLord

That's just nonstandard. I had no issues with the controls with the native PSP version.

badp

That's just because of the way they remapped the PSP versions 1:1 to the PC version

Q: How can I be sure to only get one enchantment per item?

Is there a way, and if so how, to be sure to enchant one generic item (sword, pickaxe, armor, box etc...) with only one enchantment? If so, will it be possible to get the maximum level of that single enchantment?

oh left and right swaps the icon sets

also, a warning before you buy, @DragonLord: the game ships with two graphic styles, the original and the "remake" one

some game modes are only avaiable in one of the two graphic styles

e.g. you can play hero 30 with either but Princess 30 and Evil Lord 30 are only with the classic graphics

Q: What does it mean when my influence level is "dominant"?

So my influence level has passed "influential" and is now "dominant". I know "influential" over enough civilizations is enough to secure the cultural victory, but what does "dominant" mean?

Q: How do weapon statistics relate to game play?

I'm interested to know what the weapon stats mean in the game. I have made some assumptions, but I'm curious to know if there is any official line on them. Take the following example of adding a short barrel to my rifle. So does this mean that with reduced accuracy I'll have less chance to hi...

I'm aware the anvil combines an item with its base materials to repair it. What are the base materials of chainmail so I can repair my Respiration I Chain Helm?

Anyone else to comment? This is about Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate Edition (includes all DLC for the game), UK version in the US. Any regional concerns, especially with activating the DLC?

Any ideas? If I can't get a definite answer, the game is being returned unopened.

@jeffreylin_ I would much prefer doing Folding@home instead. You're actually contributing to science with your computer resources, science that could eventually save your life.
