[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Blacklisted user (71): Is it possible to run the IIS web server on Linux? by Ricky Sousa on askubuntu.com

the question looks like another duplicate of the one we found yesterday, but OP found another answer

I kind of think the other answer writer should vote to close instead of posting the same answer to questions about this issue again and again, and haranguing the OP to the effect that their answer can't possibly be correct because their problem is the same as in those other questions

I wonder if a merge should happen

@Zanna I agree.

@Zanna Merge what?

[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Bad keyword in body, bad keyword in title, blacklisted website in body, potentially bad keyword in body, potentially bad keyword in title (294): rachael ray cbd diabetes gummies by ScotBorund on askubuntu.com

but, maybe that answer wouldn't work for others

@Zanna I think that merging isn't a bad idea.

I like the idea

Should the user that posted the other answer also be reminded about avoiding to post the same answer in multiple questions?

it seems that discussion already happened many times in the past

do we need a tag flicker?

the usage guidance says

> When something flickers it flashes repeatedly. Flickering in the Ask Ubuntu forums is generally referring to screen issues, or to describe an LED, such as,"The hard disk access light flickered."

I see no purpose for this tag

even its usage guidance refers to multiple meanings

@Zanna Yeah, I know. :/

(which are all acceptable!)

@BeastOfCaerbannog if I merge, I'll delete one of the answers and leave a comment on it

@Zanna I think we do. Screen flickering is a pretty common problem. Perhaps we should rename it to screen-flicker and write a better guidance.

@Zanna So that's 2 in 1!

@BeastOfCaerbannog ok, let's post on meta about it?

Sure.

would you like to post? I can also do it if you prefer

Oh, OK. I didn't offer myself to do it because it's you who found it. I'll post it in a bit. Should I also point to your opinion here? "I see no purpose for this tag"

nah I already changed my mind to agree with you. It's like overheating

but I really don't mind posting about it

Hahaha!

just trying to decide whether to merge

I can do (or you) a tag wiki edit and remove the LED flickering, which seems irrelevant to me.

[ Natty | Sentinel ] boot *Solved* 20.04 server install from USB - Sorry there was a problem completing the installation By: jackie tom 3.5;

@BeastOfCaerbannog yeah I think that should be removed, but I think we should first post on meta, to propose renaming it screen-flickering to get rid of the ambiguity

how do I end up with 6 tabs of the same post :/

@Zanna OK, so who does it? Me or you?

the real question is, what pun can we use for the title?

I'm not thinking of anything

if only Eliah Kagan were here

or muru

or jokerdino

Pun like what?

sorry I'm just being a jerk... meta posts about tags often have puns

eg Can we remove this virtually useless tag, Can maintenance be kept in good working order?*

but it's not an absolute requirement :)

Hahahahaha

Autoflagging disabled until restart

back in a bit... feel free to, like, write that meta post

OK

I'll try to think of a pun in the meantime

@Zanna How about "Should this tag be removed in a [flickering] of light?"

[flicker] *

:)

we are going to propose renaming, right?

so maybe should this tag be transformed in a [flicker] of light ? (or 'changed'?)

@Zanna OK, cool!

:)

@Zanna Done.

I should have made a bet XD

Hahaha

@Zanna When did this tag-pun tradition became a thing? Most of the tag questions I find don't have puns.

hmm I'm not sure - I thought it was a longstanding network-wide tradition!

OK. I like it!

me too :D

[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Potentially bad keyword in body (1): Ubuntu can´t use any screen resolution but display native (ON WAYLAND) by martinmm18 on askubuntu.com

@Zanna Given the timeframe that these issues happen, I think it is. I voted to close it against the same target as the previous questions. Let's see what the OP thinks. If it is indeed a duplicate of this, the other target should be deleted, as it would be irrelevant.
