@Someone good job... looks very big now hahaha
@BeastOfCaerbannog oops, forgot about that
@BeastOfCaerbannog jimminy cricket, that's a horrific dupe closure
what the hell is wrong with people?
 
@Zanna No problem!
@Zanna Hahaha!
@Zanna I guess if you could also underline "horrific", you'd do that too!

If I want to continue discussion in chat but I`m not getting the option to do so, What should I do?
 
I guess you should continue the discussion under the post until you get the option to move to chat.
If the OP has chat privileges, you can invite them to chat
Finally, it may be possible to ask a mod for that, but I'm not sure
 
OK @BeastOfCaerbannog

What is Bounty Grace Period?
 
10:05 AM
@BeastOfCaerbannog hahhahaha yep
 
I think that this is a Windows-only answer, but I'm not sure.
@someone since you are fairly active in the review queues, if you come across a post in LQP that you are confident that should be flagged/closed or if it's OK, you can link it here so we can also vote for it. This is not something that you must do, but it can be helpful so that the queue can be cleared faster.
The same goes for posts in other queues too.
If you don't feel like doing it, it's totally OK!
 
10:23 AM
@BeastOfCaerbannog OK, will do.
 
@Someone Thank you! :)

Is A Partitioning Question actually asking too many questions? Should it be closed as Too Broad? Is it worth sharping up with an edit? The title is too vague/imprecise to be useful.
 
12:03 PM
@mickmackusa I think that question has value. The answer gives a lot of useful information and addresses most of the specifics in the question. I've just edited it myself as I find it easier to come up with a title after editing!
 
cheers @Zanna

@Someone A bounty lasts for 7 days. You can award a bounty one day after it started. If you haven't awarded the bounty after 7 days, you get an additional day during which you can award it. This additional day is the bounty's grace period.
The help center explains it quite clearly:
 
@BeastOfCaerbannog OK!
I lost 120 rep because I deleted an answer with bounty and 2 upvotes!
Check out this question It can be a good canonical question.
 
@Someone Why did you do that?
 
@BeastOfCaerbannog Because it was extremely wrong!
The OP gave me bounty because they didn't wanted to waste it.
Other people blindly upvoted!
 
Hmmm... I see. Couldn't you edit it to correct it?
 
No... I don't know the exact answer to the question.
 
12:54 PM
(though I think that what you did is the right think, since your answer was wrong)
OK. Then don't worry. You'll get that rep back in no time!
 
Yes, Chilli555 Pointed me out; We had a good discussion; I learned quite a good things from him.
 
I appreciate that you deleted it despite the many points.
@Someone Great!
 
He gave me his notes about wireless and networking too! He's great!
 
:)
 
@BeastOfCaerbannog Yes, many of my answers are getting frequent upvotes, because fo formatting and of course the content. I learnt many things from Chilli555, N0rbert and especially you! @BeastOfCaerbannog
Oops, I double pinged you. I'm too lazy to edit.
Oops, I mentioned Gnome in this comment! The answer wasn`t related to Gnome! It was related to chromium! This all happened because of the poor design of the L&QP review queue (sometimes it's good to blame others)
I appreciate you editing my answer, but don't you think you put more work into edit summary instead of the edit itself? XD
 
1:05 PM
@Someone I'm happy to know that! :)
@Someone Well, I think leaving helpful editing comments is important. I usually write some details in these comments, but I tend to write a bit more to yours, since you actually read them and apply them.
 
@BeastOfCaerbannog Thanks :)
 
@Someone Well, I agree with OP's comment (and also find it a bit funny). You are not obliged to leave one of the canned comments. You can always select "No comment" in the review and add one later.
 
@BeastOfCaerbannog Haha, I just wanted to leave a comment for OP, so that they can improve it.
Someone upvoted my comment though.
 
@Someone Yeah. But "Can you tell a specific setting or location where we could go and find this setting?", isn't this what the answer is exactly?
 
Specific setting means that "Change GTK theme". Unspecific setting is "Go to foo then bar and click blah"
I am deleting the comment, anyway.
 
1:16 PM
I wouldn't consider "Change GTK theme" a specific setting. This is a general thing in this case. The specific thing is "Go to foo then bar and click blah".
 
But it may not work in updated versions and some other desktop (hahaha)
 
I agree that the intention of your comment was good, but it was actually confusing. I will explain a bit more.
You said: "Can you edit your answer to make it more specific? Can you tell a specific setting or location where we could go and find this setting? Thanks for posting an answer but your answer in its current state is unclear! You can edit to make it more specific and clear."
 
OK.
 
All this text says one thing: Be more specific!
Essentially repeating the same thing is what the OP perceived as passive/aggresive.
And this didn't actually point to what they should have included.
 
It's hard to talk in English if you aren't a native speaker. :(
 
1:20 PM
Yeah. I totally understand that. Don't worry.
You may also flag OP's comment as "no longer needed" now that you deleted yours, as it now is out of context.
 
Yes I did.
 
OK, great!

@BeastOfCaerbannog Thank you Beast - That's excellent!
Separate question for the Room - Am I correct in understanding that an "Approve Edit" requires two votes, but doing an "Improve Edit" would immediately accept the edits (and incorporate mine) and short-circuit the need for a second vote (assuming it didn't have another vote already)? Does that make sense?
I came across a question with a linked screenshot, so I started to edit it to change it to embedded (with the understanding that new/low-rep users can't do that on their own, even for their own posts). I noticed that there was a pending edit for approval, which turned out to be the same thing, of course (just changing the linked image to embedded). So I just hit "Approve", which then didn't get immediately incorporated since it required another vote.
But it's exactly the same edit I was planning on doing myself, which wouldn't have required any extra approval/votes ...
It seems I should have done "Improve Edit", instead? Or just deal with it and wait for the second vote?
