badp

@Fluttershy I still have to move

user43095

@fredley even though we talk about a lot of things here, that is still not okay.

Fluttershy

@badp Oh. Gotcha.

fredley

20:02

@jeffreylin_ WHY NOT?

badp

There's also a one in 16 chance of a flush

I guess that I'll find out what "buy drinks" is for

...absolutely nothing

kalina

@fredley hey, drink more alcohol

OrigamiRobot

WHY IS @FREDLEY YELLING?

Fluttershy

I wouldn't bank on a flush that requires you to hope on the river.

kalina

@OrigamiRobot he's using autocad

badp

20:03

@Fluttershy ...it is 1/16

OrigamiRobot

Fluttershy

@jeffreylin_ Gah, at least get the lyrics right: My Little Pony. I used to wonder what friendship could be, until you all shared its magic with me. Big adventure, tons of fun. A beautiful heart, faithful and strong. Sharing kindness, it's an easy feat, and magic makes it all complete. My Little Pony, do you know you're all my very best friends?

fredley

OMG MLP IS THE BEST

Grace Note

...what happened to fredley?

fredley

BUT I CAN SEE WHY YOU'D NEED TO BE DRUNK TO ENJOY IT

Grace Note

Oh. Intoxication.

Coronus

@GraceNote He took a cure for inhibitions.

kalina

20:11

stupid flag alert

fredley

STUPID FLAGS ARE STUPID

Grace Note

...seriously?

Wipqozn

@fredley That was a stupid flag.

Whoever flagged that should feel bad.

Because you're a monster.

kalina

picking on a poor and helpless little @fredley like that

go sit in a corner

user43095

MY LITTLEPONY IS FREAKING AWESOME! Now @fredley, YOU HAVE BECOME ONE OF US

Wipqozn

20:13

Now we just need to get him to switch to a pony gravatar.

fredley

@YIJIANG DRAW A PONY PORKCHOP PLZ

7

Wipqozn

Or we could make hi his own pony! With a porkchop as a cutie mark!

SaintWacko

Oh my god I'm surrounded

Ben Brocka

Which one of you gave @fredley the My Little Pony LCD stickers? Because those were mine.

kalina

@BenBrocka lol

Fluttershy

20:14

Coronus

Powerlord

20:18

@Coronus Carol

kalina

@badp for real?

fredley

@Coronus PINKIE PIE IS MY FAVOURITE PONY

Powerlord

@kalina is my favorite pony!

kalina

@badp I can't see a genuine reason for you to intervene with moderator abilities, so I am going to complain about it.

Powerlord

Wipqozn

20:20

@kalina What did he do?

Grace Note

?

Powerlord

@GraceNote !

...just a box.

Fluttershy

@

kalina

@Wipqozn edited the room owner list in a channel he is not room owner for no reason other than not wanting me to chat

Fluttershy

Hm... That's not really a punctuation.

kalina

20:21

(the room is in gallary mode)

Powerlord

@kalina The Escape Pod, I assume?

kalina

yes

Wipqozn

Ah, well then.

On the bright side, I'm awesome.

kalina

his behaviour is consistently unbefitting of a moderator

stupid spell check

Ben Brocka

@fredley for modrater

Powerlord

20:25

pqsql, why must you do Prepared Statements and, hell... anything differently than every other SQL library ever?

fredley

Q: How does one calculate a ship's agility?

According to an equation on http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Aligning, a ship's agility modifies the time it takes for a ship to enter warp. However, this 'agility' value is not displayed anywhere in the game (as far as I know). So, how does one calculate this? I read somewhere it had to do wit...

Q: What is the Purple grass called near swamps in Minecraft

In Minecraft I was in a server and I saw a swamp with green and purple grass. and the trees were purple with the vines. I know it isn't Myselium because that only uses Mushrooms to use that block. and I planted Mycelium on the ground and put a tree next to it but that didn't work. How do I make i...

minecraft

Powerlord

I think you should be a modratter.

So, if @GrumpyLazers is Grump, who is not so grump?

An hour until I leave work on a Friday, almost all of management left early today... what to do, what to do.

kalina

@GraceNote I would request something is done. I am sick of being singled out by this guy for his abuse.

Grace Note

@kalina I'm working on it already.

kalina

20:29

thank you

Powerlord

@GraceNote I'm surprised. My experience is that StackExchange policy is to just ignore it when people complain about moderators.

Yawus

Wait, what's going on?

kalina

@Powerlord This is my experience to date.

It's no wonder certain mods think they can run rampant and abuse their position for things that any other user is expected to just "deal with it"

Wipqozn

@kalina Just because you don't see it happening doesn't mean moderator problems aren't being dealt.

It's not like they're just going to up and remove a moderator every time someone makes a complaint, valid or otherwise.

kalina

@Wipqozn I stated it was my experience to date, not that I know it for fact

SaintWacko

20:33

@kalina Wait, you weren't ponying. Hmm...

kalina

@Wipqozn he has no problem randomly kicking me from chat, yet when we got rampaged by two users he did nothing after it had been repeatedly reported to him, appearance is everything

Wipqozn

@kalina He wasn't even around when that happened.

kalina

yes, "sat there" wasn't fair

Wipqozn

and there is a huge difference between badp kicking you out of chat in good fun,a nd kicking someone out of chat for punishment.

badp

@kalina apologies, I just needed five minutes to reason

kalina

20:35

@Wipqozn It's not "good fun" for the person on the receiving end

@badp yeah, this kind of thing exactly is actual moderator abuse

If you "just needed", go make your own room

not "do what you want on a whim because you have a diamond next to your name"

Fluttershy

Christ, can we stop passive aggressively starring shit, people?

OrigamiRobot

Just to keep the conflict going, I want people to keep passive aggressively starring things!

Mana

I'm going to remove the stars, sorry. That only serves to promote conflict in the chatroom.

Powerlord

What I want to know is why moderators aren't subject to re-election like real elected officials are.

Other than when a site moves from beta to full site.

Wipqozn

@kalina If badp is doing it enough to aggravate you that much then I agree he should leave you be, but in my experience badp does these things in good fun, not to cause harm. He adds and removes me from room ownership on a whim for laughs since he knows I find it funny.

Powerlord

20:42

@Wipqozn kalina either left or was kicked... can't tell which.

Mana

She left.

Grace Note

@Powerlord Because this isn't a political election system, is the short of it, so we haven't the necessity to run the same regulations that others are. In fact a lot of political comparisons made in complaint against how our system works, fail because they don't really apply to our system.

Powerlord

@GraceNote In that case, you should dump elections altogether and just make appointees.

Grace Note

Just because it's not entirely a political system doesn't prevent us from still leveraging certain systems.

Powerlord

As it is now, moderators are (to paraphase Calvin and Hobbes) Supreme Dictators for Life.

Grace Note

20:45

All things said, we know there's some contention regarding the lack of length to a moderator's term, being mostly subject solely to the moderator's own desire to leave. It's something that's been argued back and forth. For the current time, we don't have terms or re-elections.

Yawus

Well, if @kalina makes it clear that she doesn't appreciate being kicked from a room in the same manner that @Wipqozn does (i.e. she doesn't see it as a joke), then I don't think @badp should do it in the future.

And I think she has made it clear... Now, at least.

Grace Note

She did, and I spoke to badp about it.

Wipqozn

@Yawus This is the first I've heard her complain about it. In the past when badp did things I got the impression she was fine with it.

Fluttershy

@Wipqozn This definitely wasn't the first time she's been angry with something he did.

Yawus

Well, hopefully, we settled things and it will all be hunky-dory.

Powerlord

20:51

@Yawus One of the participants in question leaving wouldn't be what I'd call "hunky-dory."

Fluttershy

@Powerlord Actually, it looks like both might be gone.

fredley

So I've eaten something

Feeling a little less drunk now

Wipqozn

@fredley Was it a porkchop?

Powerlord

@fredley Was it bacon?

fredley

@Wipqozn God knows, it was Chinese

Powerlord

20:53

@fredley Was it a cat?

Wait, wrong stereotype

Yawus

I've actually eaten dog before when I was in China.

And sharkfin soup, although god knows why that's considered a delicacy.

Powerlord

@Yawus Rarity.

Yawus

Yeah, but it tastes like cardboard.

Powerlord

@Yawus Twilight Sparkle.

Yawus

Apples are delicious though.

Powerlord

20:56

@Yawus Apple Jack.

OK, enough running gag.

I'm not sure what to get for dinner. I was thinking pizza, but I had pizza for lunch yesterday.

Oh yeah, I could go get a Baconator from Wendys.

SaintWacko

@Powerlord You could... but why would you?

Powerlord

@SaintWacko It's a burger. With bacon. So, why not?

SaintWacko

@Powerlord Let me fix that for you

> It's a "burger". With "bacon". So, why not?

Powerlord

@SaintWacko Are you implying it's not real burger or real bacon? Considering how much they charge, it'd BETTER be real.

SaintWacko

@Powerlord You see here an excellent abuse of the "More expensive is better" mindset

Powerlord

21:04

Is it time to go home yet? :|

Coronus

@Powerlord 3 more hours. :(

SaintWacko

One more hour :)

Powerlord

Twenty more minutes :), but they're dragging. :(

Ben Brocka

40 minutes!

Powerlord

I should be cleaning my cubicle since I'm being moved soon... oh well.

goofs off

Fluttershy

21:12

<---- been home all day.

Powerlord

@Fluttershy stab

Fluttershy

I've been without a vehicle.

Powerlord

I'd be tempted to leave work early, but traffic.

Ben Brocka

21:23

Powerlord

Anyway, it's close enough to going home time that I should go.

SaintWacko

@BenBrocka Agreed

OrigamiRobot

@BenBrocka Eh?

Mana

@OrigamiRobot it's one of those joke's

Ben Brocka

The geology department seems to like those "joke's"

rao

21:34

hey guys

is this the right forum to ask some questions on different options available for buying consoles

:?

fredley

Why are some ponies mute?

Mana

@rao I don't think so rao. We try to avoid shopping recommendations. Maybe one of the subreddits for gaming would be a better choice?

Sorry about the inconvenience.

Yawus

Also, not a forum.

Although chat may be an okay place to discuss it.

Just don't post a question on the Q&A part of the site.

Coronus

@Mana Not even in the Bridge?

Yawus

@Coronus I assumed he meant not to post up an actual question.

Mana

21:40

@Coronus Ah, yeah, it's fine to just ask here. I just dunno if anyone here owns one of them-there new-fangled console things.

Coronus

Yeah, my gaming console has a mouse and keyboard. And runs Windows.

Mana

@Coronus :)

Coronus

@fredley So they don't sing in all caps in The Bridge on Friday nights?

SaintWacko

@Coronus Best kind of console

@Coronus Not anymore

We used to sing about Friday

...Friday, Friday

Ben Brocka

@Mana No way man, I still got my atari 8000000000, playin' dat ET, such an immersive game world it's like why play any other game
