The Bridge

@YiJiang: I just loaded up the election watcher and it seems to be doubling a bunch of stuff, like noteworthy badges, meta participation, stats and recent activity

Powerlord

@YiJiang Any idea why my Combined Flair has a higher reputation than the election tracker shows?

Yi Jiang

@FallenAngelEyes Noticed that too, but I'm having a hard time tracking down that bug

FallenAngelEyes

Er, sorry, not Stats, but the rest, yeah

Yi Jiang

12:33 AM

@Powerlord Read the title text: "Number excludes 100 rep association bonus"

Which basically amounts to removing 100 reps from the rep you have on all sites

Powerlord

@YiJiang Great, except it's off by 1100, not 800.

Yi Jiang

@Powerlord Hmmm? Checks

Powerlord

(800 = (9 sites - 1 site that wouldn't have the rep bonus) * 100)

Yi Jiang

The flair number is rounded, so you could conceivably have 26.9k + .8k = 27.7k and still see 28k

Steve V.

hey cool kids. Anyone remember a game from about 7-9 years ago in which you played as an angel that moved from body to body to accomplish tasks?

never mind

Powerlord

12:39 AM

@YiJiang The exact number is 28036, according to my Chat profile (you can hover over the 28k to see it)

Yi Jiang

@Powerlord Interesting, I'll check your data

FallenAngelEyes

Think I'm going to have to finish that Q&A essay tomorrow, need to pass out now.

Have a good night all!

@Powerlord I did the sums; the number reported by the page is correct - A51 reps are not included in data the API returns, so that's where your 200 reps went

badp

The team might deny me from posting this, so I'll put it here.

I bet you aren't interested in reading campaign promises, so I'll give you [hard facts][1] instead.

* First off, here's a **eagle eye** view: my [global][2], [Gaming][3], [Meta SO][4] and [Stack Overflow][5] [valuable flair™][6]. You can see all flair and all profiles from [here][7]. Here are my chat profiles too: [MSO][8], [SE][9], [SO][10].

* My nomination has been informally **backed** by [Grace Note][11], [Oak][12], [tzenes][13] and [Strixvaria][14] and anonymous upvoters and starrers thereof.

@badp Clearly I'm your most credible supporter, on account of me being Chat FAQ Certified, so there best be a citation that links to me in there somewhere.

@Arda You're in the group of potential positives. Sure, you debatably have some downsides but so does everyone.

Stack Overflow Blog: Moderator Messages

Posted by Jeff Atwood on February 2nd, 2011

First, a quick update on the Stack Exchange moderator election schedule.

Ending today, so get those votes in!

Ending soon:

Just started:

Coming soon, in this order, at 3 per week:

As you can see, we have a lot of community moderators! That’s why we’ve been working so hard lately on improving our moderator tooling, to make sure our new class of incoming moderators have a pleasant, polished, and smooth experience.

One thing we haven’t helped much with, historically, is when a moderator needs to contact a user directly to resolve serious issues. We always encourage direct one-on-one communication to resolve user behavior issues before they become a problem. Unfortunately, the only way for a community moderator to contact a user was to email the user from his or her personal email account. Ew, right? Far from an ideal solution, but it was the only one we had… until today! …

Yi Jiang

@Feeds Gosh, finally

@YiJiang I am pleased by the way my nomination is rendered on your page
