@AshleyNunn Worst kind of troll: Intelligent.
@fbueckert Offer it a Red Herring
Comic spoilers? brb leaving room
I guess the CMYK colors look a lot more solid
@Powerlord Better idea. Ban him and call it.
I don't know of any other user that's generated that much controversy in three days.
19:01
@fbueckert badp
@fbueckert Nah, leave him be. I want to see what he comes up with next.
@YiJiang'sEvilClone At the expense of my brain cells?
@YiJiang'sEvilClone grabs popcorn
@fbueckert Nothing but a score of -10
10 mins ago, by Yi Jiang's Evil Clone
@StrixVaria This guy is priceless
19:03
it is unless we abolish the reputation system — kraftydevil 17 secs ago
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I like this idea. Let's just ignore him and wait til he gets bored enough to do something that calls down the banhammer
user15026
@YiJiang'sEvilClone It provided me with some awesome late night entertainment
user15026
@StrixVaria WHAT
@StrixVaria ...What?
@StrixVaria Loooove this guy!
19:05
@StrixVaria See, if we ban him we won't see amazing comments like this
@Coronus He does provide excellent entertainment
How could you possibly not want to see comments like this?
We've been needing a pet. We'll keep him
Especially because, as a non-mod, I don't have to clean up any messes he makes :D
@YiJiang'sEvilClone are those baby cockatrices?
@AshleyNunn Don't respond. But keep watching.
user15026
19:06
@SaintWacko puts down newspapers
@BenBrocka Yes. Now you spoiled the inset story :P (Not that the inset had much story anyway)
@YiJiang'sEvilClone My brain cells > his contributions.
@YiJiang'sEvilClone you're the one who posted the pic :P
It's an amazingly absurd story designed to explain why Twilight can't call on Celestia
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Too late
19:07
It... doesn't make a whole load of sense
Protip: Sending me a "please take part in our customer service survey" email while I'm waiting for you to fix your accounting software is not ideal timing
@AshleyNunn I don't suppose you have a shock collar, too?
@fbueckert Ooh, that would be fun
user15026
@fbueckert Hm. If I answer this, it might be incriminating.
@AshleyNunn Pet shock collar.
19:08
@fbueckert @AshleyNunn keeps it with the handcuffs
The fuzzy ones
Because nothing says love like sending painful amounts of electricity through them.
user15026
@fbueckert Oh. No, I don't have anything like that. Norbert is a good cat and stays in the house :D
user15026
@SaintWacko Pink and fuzzy :P
@AshleyNunn :O do they make shock collars for cats? That would just be criminal
If you put a shock collar on a cat you'd probably wake up with it around your neck (or dead)
2
19:09
@AshleyNunn I would expect no less
On the other hand, there is a Ghostbuster reference to make up for it
user15026
I nkow, right?
user15026
@SaintWacko :D
@Michel BRILLIANT
19:10
So anyway, about Celestia's CMYK colors...
If only I wore glasses
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I used to work at a printing company. At one point I had a boss who didn't know what the K in CMYK meant facepalm
His first suggestion was "White"
@SaintWacko Ahahahaha
If you were printing on black paper I suppose K would be white :D
@SaintWacko I know that I'm getting old, because I'm more excited in going home and get some sleep/game than going to a barbecue party in a coworker's house >.<
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I just barely avoided giving him an "Are you an idiot?" look
@YiJiang'sEvilClone No, it would still be black lol
@Michel Old, or just antisocial!
@Michel Age?
19:13
Hmmm, CMYK is a subtractive color system, right? You can't make white with CMY
wait what
of course you can make white with CMY
0 of C, 0 of M, 0 of Y
and white paper
@badp I mean on black paper
@Powerlord 27 going to 28 in April...
well of course
So, how long do we have to put up with kraftydevil flooding meta with useless crap?
19:14
btw... God level..
@Michel As someone who just turned 34, I'm going to note that you're not old.
@badp Exactly
@Powerlord Happy birthday!?
@Michel Getting "image not found" for that.

@StrixVaria This guy is priceless
19:14
when was your bday?
user15026
@Fluttershy Until he gets bored
@YiJiang'sEvilClone On black paper, you... Actually, I'm not sure you can create white on black paper
@Fluttershy We decided we like him and are keeping him as a pet
@AshleyNunn So... pretty much forever. Got it.
@SaintWacko You can't, no. Which is why I suggest making K white
I've been observing for years and I'm still not impressed. — kraftydevil 43 secs ago
19:15
@SaintWacko Welp... time to delete the ol' account.
> years
@YiJiang'sEvilClone But then it wouldn't be CMYK...
It would be CMYW or something
@Fluttershy "If the time comes when the system is up to my standards then I will contribute to the actual site. But until then, I will only contribute in full effect to the meta site."
19:16
@Fluttershy You mean the ¡Olé! account?
user image
6
Code Kermit. Abandon site.
@SaintWacko "The "K" in CMYK stands for key since in four-color printing cyan, magenta, and yellow printing plates are carefully keyed or aligned with the key of the black key plate."
@StrixVaria I'd like to introduce to you [today's guest star]!
@Coronus This makes me wish I was a mod so I could abuse my powers and suspend him.
user15026
19:17
@Fluttershy THAT WOULD BE NOT GOOOOOOOD

@Fluttershy We decided we like him and are keeping him as a pet

How could you possibly not want to see comments like this?
You wouldn't kill Krafty, would you?
2
We don't want to keep him as a pet.
19:18
@AshleyNunn It's bad to suspend a user who insists on trolling to the point of flooding the site with useless crap?
@Fluttershy I wouldn't really call it abuse at this point. Trolling's plenty of reason
Pets require and respond to discipline.
I think I'll ban everyone here from the RUGC_Midwest subreddit, VGMusic.com, my TF2 servers, and from the VSH/FF2 section of the AlliedModders forum.
user15026
@Fluttershy Its not really flooding
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I did not realize that. It's come to mean black, though, and I suspect most people would share my reaction to making K white
19:18
Oh and the Top Sekrit ruling council of RUGC. But that's a private subreddit.
@Coronus Krafty*
@StrixVaria hahahah love it
Y'know, the reason he's posing on meta isn't because he wants to improve the site.
Also, blame Maniac Mansion for the spelling of Sekrit.
It's because he's realized he can't lose rep for every inane and stupid thing he posts.
19:20
@fbueckert Whoa, really?
@Coronus Just give me a knife and don't ask too many questions
3
@fbueckert Of course not, it's because he really really likes us and want to keep us entertained
That's a good way to solve most problems, honestly
Although I've got to admit that, despite there being a sign on the wall saying Sekrit Lab, you DO have to get into the Dungeon first to see it.
@YiJiang'sEvilClone This isn't entertainment anymore.
19:20
@BenBrocka Remind me never to annoy you
@BenBrocka Pssh, I already have a knife. And a cloaking device.
It's moronic idiocy taken to the point of stupidity.
@Powerlord Is it a box? It's a box, isn't it
@SaintWacko Nope, it's a watch!
@fbueckert This is accurate.
19:22
Ooo I am so close to 10k
@James I can't wait for 10k
Incidentally, Valve was originally going to make the Spy watches in TF2 have world models, at least when they introduced the new ones in 2008... but then they realized that would give away the Dead Ringer's presence.
All those beautiful deleted questions
@SaintWacko Yes, Yes, I can not wait!! Muwahahahaha :)
user15026
@SaintWacko If you have links :P
19:26
Woah
and I just got super upvoted
10k! But for how long!? :)
Quick! View every deleted post!
@James A few hours, at most, probably. :P
@Sterno I am on it! Where do I go? :)
@AshleyNunn Ah, but I'm sure someone would give me links! nudge nudge
user15026
@SaintWacko What's in it for me? :)
19:28
@James Start at gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/1 and work your way up!
@AshleyNunn I will eat your cupcakes!
Oh for goodness sake, is it really hard for you guys to not feed the troll?
@Sterno Time to request a new tool from @agent86 :D
whacks Eclipse again
You guys are terrible at this game
19:29
@Powerlord Aww, be nice to eclipse!
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Feeding trolls can be fun. And they need to eat too, you racist.
@YiJiang'sEvilClone But we have to feed our pets!
TROLLS HAVE RIGHTS
@Sterno racist?
@Powerlord I can see why it refuses to work for you.
19:30
So, if I have the Maven SCM plugin for Subversive, Eclipse will refuse to update software citing version conflicts. But removing it, updating, then reinstalling the same version of said plugin is perfectly fine with no errors?
user15026
@SaintWacko Hahaha yes :D
@SaintWacko He's clearly discriminating against trolls.
@Sterno Hm, fair enough
@Sterno Isn't that more specieist than racist?
@AshleyNunn A fair exchange, yes
19:30
@Sterno Nah, trolls don't need feeding. If they fall asleep and fail to provide the required entertainment they can always be poked with a sharp stick
But feeding is never necessary
@fbueckert In some scifi/fantasy stores trolls are mutated/evolved from humans
You're not contributing here. You're asking pointless questions that display a stunning lack of understanding about the entire point of this site/network. You have been alternating between requesting fundamental changes to the way the site works and asking unnecessary, passive-agressive questions to make a point. Come back when you understand how the site works and why we do what we do. — murgatroid99 12 mins ago
Or just different types of humans
@murgatroid99 You are my hero.
@StrixVaria Sadly, it's just more food for the troll.
19:31
oh and @badp You should clearly know by now that I don't want answers to questions I didn't ask. Making my question more general serves the users of the entire site and not just me. I'll think about ways to improve the answering of one's own question. — kraftydevil 12 hours ago
@StrixVaria You see that, that is just feeding
It's well-stated and concise, at least.
Don't feed. Seriously, don't.
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I'm not going to respond to him again
It sums up everything wrong with this user in one small paragraph.
19:32
I just felt like that had to be said
Trollfud, part of your complete breakfast
user15026
@Fluttershy I NEED MY TREBUCHET
2
@AshleyNunn Ballista
@AshleyNunn We really need to build a full sized one.
@AshleyNunn I think I still have the framework from mine
19:33
So, in a nutshell, he wants his questions and answers to benefit him and him alone. Are we sure we can't just... long-term suspend him?
Ok, KSP is pissing me off
@YiJiang'sEvilClone But yeah, this
user15026
@fbueckert YES
I know I still have my ballista
Well, manuballista
@Fluttershy I don't think he's actually broken any rules
He's just annoying
user15026
19:33
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Throwing thingie :D
@AshleyNunn Sadly, building it within town limits will make the police look at us funny.
@AshleyNunn I think that picture is from thinkgeek.com/product/ea99
user15026
@fbueckert My parents live in the middle of nowhere :D
@murgatroid99 annoying priceless
@TrentHawkins What did you do now?
19:34
@AshleyNunn Remind me tonight and I'll find a picture of my manuballista
@AshleyNunn So do mine. :P We built potato guns and spent an evening firing spuds.
user15026
@SaintWacko Yaaaaay
@fbueckert I used to shoot apples out of potato guns
user15026
@fbueckert AWESOME
@SaintWacko Oh, those would work well, too.
They're harder than potatoes, though.
19:35
You have to build your potato gun with the front end sharpened, so that it pares down the potato to the right size
And gives it a better seal
user15026
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Waaaaaant
@SaintWacko What do you think we did?
Guys, I want to clue you in on something. Over half of the people in chat are in here specifically because they enjoy being trolled, whether they know it or not. They're in here because they want something to argue or get mad about.
@Sterno No we don't!
@Sterno Not true!
19:36
@SaintWacko Yes we do!
@fbueckert Ship explodes at some point... fair enough; restart flight. the second the physics load; BOOM... I have to exit to the space center and re-enter the launchpad, then it works.
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Nuh-uh!
@SaintWacko Yes-uh!
@TrentHawkins Sounds like a beta bug.
I just come here because I like all some of you.
19:37
@murgatroid99 Those are the worst ones though
@TrentHawkins I built a ship at one point which explodes on the launch pad and flings the capsule, intact, into the air, at which point I can pop the chute and it will land successfully
There's probably some physics initialization that doesn't happen on a flight restart.
See, I'll even argue with myself if I can't find someone to argue with
@BenBrocka I'm just saying that I don't think we can suspend someone for being annoying
@YiJiang'sEvilClone La la la la I'm not listening!
19:37
And I disagree with the idea that deliberately being an insufferable jackass while following the letter of the rules is not a violation of the spirit of the rules
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I mean, seriously, which idiot would argues with himself
@BenBrocka Someone mentioned this the other day, that we were focusing too much on the letter of the rules instead of the spirit in which they were meant
Might have been @AshleyNunn
@Sterno Didn't it get shortened, though? It's not still 50 days, right?
@SaintWacko I've dealt with people like this before. He's almost certainly not going to stop until he either gets bored or gets suspended (possibly multiple times)
19:39
@Fluttershy You don't need to. After a few more massively downvoted questions on Meta, he will be question banned.
@YiJiang'sEvilClone It's not like you have split personality or something
185
Q: What can I do when getting "Sorry, we are no longer accepting questions/answers from this account"?

ArjanDo not repost the question you were about to ask until you have READ EVERYTHING WE ARE ABOUT TO TELL YOU. While trying to ask a question, one could get: Oops! Your question couldn't be submitted because: Sorry, we are no longer accepting questions from this account. See http://go...

@SaintWacko Says Apr 24 on his profile
idk if this is a question for meta or not, but generally how long should we wait no a question before voting to close if they dont provide enough information on the question?
I thought question and answer bans weren't enabled on any but the legacy sites.
19:40
@Sterno Hm, yeah, guess so
Just checked that myself
@JasonBerkan I don't think those are active anywhere else other than the Trilogy site and, which other site is it?
Math?
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Probably Programmers.
@JasonBerkan no question bans on this site
user15026
@SaintWacko That was me!
@AshleyNunn Thought so!
19:41
@JasonBerkan I don't think there are question bans on any meta, either
@ZeroStack Immediately isn't out of the question. Maybe a couple hours otherwise. The problem is if you wait too long, speculative answers sneak in and then you've got a cluser$%&* when they clarify and everyone's wrong
@murgatroid99 There is on metas, it just takes longer. Didn't know that wasn't active on all sites.
Or maybe that means Meta...
It takes longer on MSO, I think it's just plain not on most sites, main or meta
80
Q: Question banning should work differently on Meta

TomasI just wanted to report a problem with Data Explorer and realized I was banned from asking questions on meta. Probably because I asked 3 questions with a score <= -10. Reading through the reasons for this: to prevent help vampires users who can't be bothered to form sentences users who don'...

@YiJiang'sEvilClone "would argues" Oh man, your grammar really really sucks
19:43
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Get a room you two
it's , so it's at least sort of true
@BenBrocka I think he's talking about this question
-4
Q: Why am I receiving a "Bad video card drivers!" error in Minecraft?

JaredMy Minecraft won't work and this error report keeps showing up. Here's the whole error report: Bad video card drivers! ----------------------- Minecraft was unable to start because it failed to find an accelerated OpenGL mode. This can usually be fixed by updating the video ca...

This baklava is a sticky mess
19 hours is definitely plenty
@BenBrocka I know mods take care of 'less-than-par' posts, but sometimes I see a post that we can only help out or speculate generally per there issue, but cannot really help unless they provide more info. I just usually choose to wait after someone posts we need more info in the comments, but then forget about the question later.
19:46
Yeah; I usually leave a comment if it's not laughably unanswerable, just missing a little something, and if they don't edit within maybe ~ hour I assume they're gone for the day and it might as well get closed. Or sometimes I swear they just never ever return, not as a logged in user anyway
So one hour
user15026
@SaintWacko mmmmmm baklava
New question: "Why can't I do things?"
@AshleyNunn mmmmmhmmmmm
@SaintWacko Why do I read this as balaclava?
user15026
@SaintWacko I have a jealous
19:48
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Because my Avatar is wearing one under his hat and mask?
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Because that makes the sentence much more disturbing
Although I do also have a balaclava
Stock Spy in TF2 is just wearing a Balaclava on his head, but I had my party mask and Fedora on too. After all, they're my usual Spy loadout.
@SaintWacko In case of emergency bank robberies, I see
@BenBrocka makes sense, I just didnt know if I should vote for close asap or just say hey we need more info or close later. From my POV, arqade is amazing on keeping the Q/A db full of quality Q/A unlike other S.E. sites. - but thats just my opinion
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Of COURSE
Wups
How did that happen
@ZeroStack Always say "hey we need more info", some people don't get that the close reason means "hey edit your post"
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I read it as baklava, but this always comes to my mind as the image:
user15026
Now I want baklava. The only place I know I can get it is all the way across town :(
@AshleyNunn never had it.... am I missing out?
user15026
@ZeroStack It's sweet and awesome and yes.
@ZeroStack It's crunchy and delicious
user15026
@Fluttershy licks her screen
@Fluttershy That was a terrible thing to do 10 minutes before my lunch break.
@BenBrocka and after 24 or 48 hours of no reply vote close?
19:53
@AshleyNunn Does it taste like snozberries?
@AshleyNunn lmao
user15026
@Fluttershy Nope :(
@AshleyNunn Dang. =(
can someone say something fancy? Like "I eat my chocolate bars with a fork and knife"
user15026
@Fluttershy It is a very sad day
19:55
@SaintWacko that looks like strudel but with meat in the middle..... :/
@Wipqozn I drink my Mountain Dew from a champagne flute
@ZeroStack Not meat, ground nuts
user15026
@Wipqozn I am watching a Ni No Kuni LP and OMG I WANT IT
I think
> You have fully used your vote allowance for today
2
19:55
@AshleyNunn I need to finish that. I took a break dueto being busy with school / monster hunter demo.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO
I'm really close to the end.
@SaintWacko so... a breakfast or dessert om nom ? or... both ?
@AshleyNunn Did you ply the Monster Hunter demo yet?
@ZeroStack Definitely dessert
19:56
@ZeroStack I have a much shorter window, personally. I just don't want to close if they're like right there ready to fix the problem. If I'm going to have to wait a day for an update, waiting a day for a reopen isn't such a big deal anymore, IMO
user15026
@Wipqozn I haven't.
I think it's thin bread stuff with nuts in between, sorta drenched with honeyish stuff
@Wipqozn Somebody star this for me
5
That was hard to find - and it doesn't even have an answer, just two comments. MSO is a mess: meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/152158/…
user15026
@SaintWacko Phyllo pastry, honey syrup, nuts (often pistachios)
@SaintWacko @AshleyNunn hmmm I will have to give it a try sometime. I've always wondered what it was / tasted like. There is a gyro place near by that sells them.
19:57
@AshleyNunn Ah, I was close
user15026
@ZeroStack DO IT DO IT DO IT
@ZeroStack Baklava is the food of the gods
user15026
I should make some of my own.
@BenBrocka 10-4 just wanted to make sure
@SaintWacko It's a flaky piece of heaven.
19:58
@Coronus Right
@AshleyNunn @SaintWacko I just lol'd pretty hard at my office desk.
@ZeroStack I have that problem all day
user15026
@ZeroStack Yay :D
Every day
user15026
@SaintWacko What? Here? NEVER
user15026
19:58
@SaintWacko WE ARE SERIOUS PEOPLE.
@AshleyNunn I think you just stunned everyone into speechlessness with that... Well done.
