Ktash

@Wipqozn I think the concerns about some new users feeling burned is somewhat legit (and I tried to address that in my answer) but it is getting to the point where I think it is getting less constructive

murgatroid99

@OrigamiRobot Ooh, then we could all argue with him at once

user15026

@Wipqozn That's the part that bugs me - he just kinda showed up and started spouting crap that he really knows nothing about and isn't really bothering to try and find out about. It feels really crappy - "I dont like you and I don't like your stuff and I don't care how it got to this point or why these rules are here I just don't like that I can't have my fun my way so you are just wrong and need to change because I am not listening to you".

OrigamiRobot

@spugsley He built me.

@OrigamiRobot you poor dear.

Wipqozn

@AshleyNunn Exactly.

Ronan Forman

@Origami But I designed you, who's more likely to have altered you?

Wipqozn

@Ktash Yeah, I can understand that, but like I said in my answer we can't give new users a free pass because we don't want them to feel bad.

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn Don't worry. @spugsley really likes you. She talks about you all the time.

OrigamiRobot

@RonanForman I cannot access that information.

spugsley

@OrigamiRobot indeed. But all of the statements end with "because he's the worst"

Wipqozn

I think we do a really good job at explaining to new users why their questions are closed, and trying to help them understand how to improve.

Ronan Forman

@Origami Or right, the failsafes has kicked in.

Wipqozn

01:11

@RonanForman I thought you were going to bed?

Ronan Forman

I suspect a reboot in 10 seconds.

@Wipqozn technically I am in bed.

user15026

@Wipqozn Oh, definitely. We don't generally just close and delete and mock people for being stupid. We try to help them fit with how things work here.

Ktash

@Wipqozn Many do. And I tried to say that. But sometimes (especially with as many new users and bad questions as there are now) it gets put on the back burner a little bit. So I was just making sure that that was clear as well

Wipqozn

I'm really tempted to cast a close vote on his meta. If he keeps it up, I will. Because this is becoming less and less constructive.

Ian Pugsley

@RonanForman don't make us ping your dad

@Wipqozn I agree it's getting less constructive, but I think closing it maybe isn't the best. I think it may boil down to let it sink to the pits and rot. It's a discussion and a valid one, it's just going in a less valid direction ATM

OrigamiRobot

@Wipqozn He is claiming we ban questions because of their association with other banned questions. No we are not. The comparison makes us decide to discuss their value.

Wipqozn

@Ktash I disagree that it's a valid discussion. Like a few of us have said, he's just making accusations with no basis in reality. He's not making any effort to look at the history of the things he keeps talking about, and won't listen to what anyone is saying.

@Resorath We should write emails about chatting about meta.

Resorath

@OrigamiRobot No crossing mediums!

Ktash

I think the part about making sure new users are not beaten down by their first off topic post is on-topic. The rest is a rant. I think their are nuggets of discussion amongst a lot of crap

LessPop_MoreFizz

@RonanForman Hops are seed-pod type things that are used to add flavor to beer. They add a fairly distinct bitterness. Beers that are very 'hoppy' tend to be more bitter, and include things like IPAs.

And that concludes todays episode of Beer 101.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot Except he has no actual basis in fact for this. He's just throwing around a few questions and saying we've banned them for no reason. most of the question types he has brought up aren't even banned.

Ktash

@Resorath No, we're having a meta chat about meta comments on a meta question ;)

Sour beer is a beer style characterized by an intentionally acidic, tart, sour taste. It is Category 17 of the Beer Judge Certification Program Style Guidelines. In theory any style of beer may be soured, but in practice the most common styles that are soured are Belgian lambics, gueuzes, and Flanders red ale.

@AshleyNunn Alternately, go to Boston for EBF in February when I go.

ignoring scifi is letting weak scope win

@LessPop_MoreFizz EBF?

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz That. Sounds. Awesome.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@AshleyNunn The emphasis at EBF is on creative, strange, experimental stuff

like Peanut Butter Jelly beer.

@IanPugsley I tried and was met with rudeness.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Very cool - that would be so much fun to try - I love creativity in things like that

Q: why is lulu so strong?will she be nerfed in the next patch?

I've been using Lulu ever since she came out and she is insainly strong I can kill,support or jungle. Do you think its fair to call her just a support champion? Do you think she will be nerfed in the next patch? Gg classic

OrigamiRobot

Can we not do promotions like this anymore? :(

Ian Pugsley

@OrigamiRobot quit blubbering

murgatroid99

@OrigamiRobot I kind of think that when this whole thing is done we will end up with a net positive: we will get rid of the bad users that got here from the promotion and keep the good ones

user15026

01:47

@OrigamiRobot I seriously do not want to ask -anything- right now - I figure it will just get drowned out in all of this chaos.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot Before another promotion like this is held we'll need to seriously sit down and look how we can deal with this very high ratio of crap to quality.

LessPop_MoreFizz

OrigamiRobot

@murgatroid99 I'm mostly whining.

@Wipqozn Totally.

user15026

@Wipqozn Oh, most definitely. This is getting a touch ridiculous.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Wipqozn Deputize a temp mod or 3 IMO

Ian Pugsley

01:49

how is this that different from Skyrim?

Wipqozn

we've had other promotions in the most, but none of them produced this ratio of crap to quality.

murgatroid99

@OrigamiRobot The first thing I thought of (you don't have to watch it):

►

Wipqozn

@IanPugsley There was a lot more quality in that.

Ian Pugsley

is the mistake that we're reaching out the LoL player base at all?

Wipqozn

The majority of the questions / answers in this promotion are just terrible.

Rapida

01:49

This one probably got a lot more exposure. It got exposed on one of the most popular league of legends streaming sites.

Ian Pugsley

I do hate the LoL player base a lot, despite being among them

@Mana I think it has a lot to do with the communities being promoted to, tbqh. There are many things to recommend about the MOBA player base, but their extensive command of the english language has never been one of them.

Yi Jiang

@IanPugsley The question velocity is actually higher than Skyrim I think

Tim Stone

@LessPop_MoreFizz The thing that caught my eye most in that photo was the odd-looking chandelier in the top right, heh.

Wipqozn

The majority of the skyrim / ME3 answers/ questions were solid.

Ian Pugsley

01:50

@LessPop_MoreFizz yeah, makes sense

we actually remarked in a game last night when a random joined us that we had no idea what he was saying at the end

you know it's an interesting game when you say "I think he's trying to call us noobs"

murgatroid99

@LessPop_MoreFizz It seems like this is more about bad questions than bad english, though

Wipqozn

@murgatroid99 this was the episode that made me like Rarity.

Yi Jiang

@murgatroid99 The questions and answers also tend to be very short and lacking substance

LessPop_MoreFizz

@murgatroid99 Last I checked, we did not have the FAQ translated into any other languages.

Rapida

I've always found it hard to ask a "good" league question, and that's coming from someone who is a rep-whore.

murgatroid99

01:51

@LessPop_MoreFizz not bothering to read the FAQ is different from being unable to read the FAQ

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Rapida From the outside looking in, it looks like League has the problem of having a ton of breadth but very little depth.

murgatroid99

@Wipqozn For me it was the ones where she sang

LessPop_MoreFizz

So you have millions of permutations of the same few fairly shallow 'this or that' questions.

murgatroid99

@LessPop_MoreFizz And none of them can think of anything more substantial to ask

Rapida

@LessPopMoreFizz Well part of it is there are no clear answers since a lot of the tactics and strategies are pretty deep.

Wipqozn

01:52

@LessPop_MoreFizz YEah, that would be a good idea. Although I would prefer to figure out why this is gathering so much crap compared to the other promotions, and try to solve it that way.

Rapida

No easy answer for when should I do X? or is X better than Y?

user15026

@murgatroid99 I liked this episode - first time Rarity didnt drive me nuts.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Wipqozn For the 50th time, it's because it's LOL. I firmly believe that the player base being reached out to is problematic - which isn't to say that they aren't worth reaching out to, but it comes with unique challenges.

Wipqozn

@LessPop_MoreFizz I was unaware the player base is that bad.

Rapida

01:55

For example this question: gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/58222/… There are tons of ways to answer it depending on match ups and what not. And everyone has an opinion on how to play it.

Wipqozn

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Wipqozn The MOBA community is renowned for being newbie hostile, for having it's own utterly inscrutable language, etc.

Rapida

@LessPopMoreFizz I agree wholeheartedly that is part of the problem

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Rapida Right, that makes a good question, not a bad one, however, you need people willing to take the time to write more than a 2 sentence answer.

Ktash

@murgatroid99 Oh, so FYI, the one @OrigamiRobot linked to was the first episode, the site I posted has the first two

murgatroid99

01:57

@Ktash They have the second one too?

Wipqozn

user15026

@Wipqozn Haha, this is so very true.

Ktash

@murgatroid99 Yup. It's 45 mins long and is the first two episodes

want the link?

Rapida

@LessPopMoreFizz I agree, but the problem is people are only writing 2 sentences. The few I've answered seem to get buried so quickly that I've stopped trying to do much more than damage control at the moment.

murgatroid99

@Ktash already there

Wipqozn

01:58

@Ktash What show?

Ktash

Legend of Korra

@murgatroid99 Starts at about 23:35

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Rapida And so we come back to the problem of the player base being full of terrible, terrible human beings.

murgatroid99

@Ktash Thanks

I'll be back in 25 minutes or so

Rapida

@LessPopMoreFizz I don't think that's true. I just think getting so many new stack exchangers at once is the main problem. Most of them have no clue on what a good answer looks like and are just acting like a regular forum goer. Which means putting there thoughts up no matter if it has been restated 30 times.
