@Daniil o.O
 
@Daniil Less smaller meaning bigger? That doesn't sound right!
 
user435118
Omg, reading your election nomination again I realised you weren't actually linking to my profile but to https://askubuntu.com/users/current :( @Kulfy
 
@Daniil :P
 
@Zanna You mean improper use of it? They must be endless! Good luck.
 
user435118
@SasukeUchiha Um... what site is bigger (apart from SO)?
 
5:09 PM
@Daniil You said less smaller meaning that everything else except SO is bigger. That is the opposite of what you were trying to say wasn't it
@Daniil If you are talking about users, Superuser?
 
@SasukeUchiha Nothing is endless for a mod.
 
user435118
@SasukeUchiha I am so lost here
 
@Kulfy Or everything is
 
user435118
I mean every site I participate on is smaller than AU (apart from SO which is much bigger) cc @SasukeUchiha
 
@Daniil less small makes it opposite of smaller. Less small means bigger. The more less small something is, the bigger it is. However that is wrong grammar anyway. Sorry for sounding nerdy
If you simply said smaller, it would have the right meaning
OK. gtg cya tomorrow guys

5:13 PM
It depends on how you interpret it. I interpreted that the less small refers to much
 
@Daniil lol
 
user435118
Am I the only one who thought it actually linked to them? :P
 
@Daniil Less takes something to the negative (-) side of it. Small is already a negative thing. So double negative is possitive
 
@SasukeUchiha no, I am removing them all, because the tag is imprecise
 
(unrelated) On a side note what can we do to improve answered percentage? As of now we have 65% questions answered. Suggestions are welcomed.
 
user435118
5:15 PM
I disagree, I think we've just interpreted it differently @SasukeUchiha :)
 
user435118
Huh, is @SmokeDetector usually in this room? It's pingable here...
 
if a tag belongs to no posts, it will magically disappear and people with less than er some quantity of reputation will not be able to add it to their posts
 
user435118
!!/alive
 
what is the rep threshold to create tags?
 
@Zanna 500?
 
5:16 PM
@jokerdino Hola. \o. Howz life?
 
@jokerdino thanks :)
 
@Zanna 300
 
looks like 300
@BhargavRao Going good, thanks for asking. How's there?
 
@Daniil yes, we have Smokey post whatever it finds on our site here
 
5:17 PM
@Daniil That only does one way communication
 
@EliahKagan @Daniil thanks!
 
@jokerdino All's going great. :)
 
@Kulfy delete all the unanswered questions :D
 
@Zanna That's aggressive.
 
XD
I'm just kidding
 
5:18 PM
ikr.
 
Just downvote all unanswered questions with score 1, they'll get roomba'd
 
@BhargavRao that's why our room name is downboat.
 
@Daniil The UI shows it as pingable and will autocomplete @SmokeDetector, but I don't think the system actually sends a notification. There are other situations where a ping would not be generated by the system even though the UI offers autocomplete a username. Like if you start to type:
`@Smo
(with the leading `)
It's possible to post messages to a room that one is not actually in, which is how SmokeDetector is set up for most of the rooms it posts in. Thus SmokeDetector posts here but does not accept feedback or commands here because it's not really in the room. Shortly after SmokeDetector posts here, the UI shows SmokeDetector's avatar with those in the room, but even then, it's not actually in the room.
 
@BhargavRao Well I'm downvoting unclear/dupe abandoned questions using a query :)
As of now "we" have been successful in getting rid of ~400 abandoned questions.
 
@Kulfy about 0.13% effect on the answered rate.
 
5:35 PM
Still an imporovement ;-)
 
@Natty fp (per this)
 
Invalidated the previous feedback on askubuntu.com/a/1247801
 
IMO this answer is worth undeleting considering andrew46 posted only a comment and users sometime overlook comments.
It maybe converted to CW.
 
6:18 PM
@Kulfy Ubuntu packages seems to show the versions very nicely
I hadn't noticed that before
 
6:34 PM
@Zanna Thanks for handling flag and undeleting answer.
:54751340 Last week I edited 2-3 posts which got downvoted as soon as I saved edits.
 
yessss I get to delete my stupid messages ages after writing them
@Kulfy yes, ignore what I just said
 
For undoing the downvote: The system will now revoke the automatic downvote if, after the flag is marked Helpful, the post later gets an upvote.
 
@Kulfy I only undeleted it, so if you found the message you got confusing, that's because it represents some difference of opinion...
@Kulfy yeah, nice!
 
@Zanna Well yes, I wasn't sure about that since imo that was an ok-ish answer.
 
I agree with you
 
6:40 PM
(unrelated) unclear?
seems it needs a .
 
@Kulfy hmm, I think so
 
This is a borderline case of being OT. Should it be reopened?
@Zanna I have voted to close.
(unrelated) Rejectable
 
@Kulfy hmm don't really want to bump it
 
@Zanna If you have time, can you please synonymise and ? Or should I post on meta?
@Zanna Sounds reasonable. At least first comment is no longer needed.
Oh well RolandiXor doesn't have diamond anymore.
 
@Kulfy looks ok to me yeah, vote and see what people think.
@Kulfy let me see if I can find any button for that :D
 
6:53 PM
@Zanna Voted to reopen and left a comment.
@Kulfy To be clear, I originally planned to do it myself if I get elected as mod :P
 
that was scary!
but, seemed to work
@Kulfy sorry for stealing your fun
 
@Zanna Thanks.
 
and thanks for your persistence in pursuing it
 
@Zanna No problem. Till then I'll try to find a new one.
 
:)
 
6:58 PM
Did you think about for which I posted a meta question and muru shared their thought here a week ago?
 
I edited the tag wiki for persistence, but only superficially. It could surely use some work but idk what to do with it
@Kulfy yes, I'm planning to remove it slowly by editing
 
@Zanna And I suggested edit 2 mins ago :P
 
oh no
sorry
let me try to fix it
 
Interestingly, Community bot didn't reject my edit like what it does on posts.
The review item still shows the older excerpt against what I suggested
It shows no longer reviewable.
@Zanna Looks fine.
 
maybe they changed how conflicting edits get handled
time to sleep
 
7:10 PM
Or maybe tag edits have different behaviour.
 
yes

@Zanna Late deletion of a message with a ping from which a notification was generated but not yet read doesn't delete the notification, though. Also, notifications for messages with special formatting don't show the formatting; for example, links don't show up, and I believe a message that is a code block or a blockquote shows up in a user's notification inbox as if if weren't.
So deleting a message sometimes has the effect of removing clarifying context. In this case there was of course no confusion because you also supplied context. I'm not sure if it's only ROs or not whose notifications are unmodified, though I suspect it is not.
(Also, some people subscribe to have SE notifications emailed to them every however many hours, which of course would not be undone. I don't do that, though, at least currently or in the past, and I don't really know how it works, so you should probably not put much stock in any of my suppositions about it. It at least used to work this way. )
@Zanna How does that post have none of , , , or ? It was migrated from main, but don't such posts get tagged ? Was there a time when they didn't? I'm not sure we know for sure that it really is ; if so, perhaps it's a duplicate of something and can simply be closed, which won't bump it. But either way, I think it's worth bumping it to add .
For now I'm holding off on doing that edit, and also holding off on posting a meta question to ask how that question exists without any of the required tags, in case your motivation to avoid bumping it has to do with something sensitive about the post (that I wouldn't be able to see) rather than a desire to avoid churn for minor things.
Also, the information from comments on that post belongs in the question, which I think is enough reason to bump it. I'm not asking you to make any of these changes; I'm just waiting to make them in case there's a special reason it ought to be avoided.
@Kulfy That's quite strange. The edits are still classified as rejected, though.

in Charcoal HQ, 15 secs ago, by Eliah Kagan
@SmokeDetector Rude/abusive since the edit. I considered trying to fix it but the OP also personally insulted a specific user in a comments. The two flaggable comments went away when I flagged them.
^^ It has an edit suggestion that copyedits the new content while leaving it rude/abusive. That edit suggestion should be rejected.
@EliahKagan To clarify, I mean links show up as normal text, with no URL. @Zanna
@Natty tp
@Natty fp This is recommending a specific course of action intended to solve the problem. It might benefit from an edit.
I've rejected this edit with the custom message:
> It's unclear where the added information comes from or why it is known to be an accurate description of what the OP did.
It needs at least one more review.
 
11:34 PM
 
@EliahKagan Post already reported
 
@Natty Oh, right.
