@Panda this answer of mine has 5 comments - quick, someone comment!

also holy hell when did that get to +42

It got a comment - let's wait a bit.

@KritixiLithos I'll reply in around an hour to your comment, just in case we get 6. Whatever, that's the score :P

Алексей Шиманский

quick way to find answers with 6 comments:
- go to http://data.stackexchange.com/
- select site
- make a query: select * Posts where PostTypeId = 2 and CommentCount = 6
:-)

arda

or 5, so you can add a comment

also not select * Posts where PostTypeId = 2 and CommentCount = 6 but select * from Posts where PostTypeId = 2 and CommentCount = 6

see the "from"

Q: who invented this winter program

Hats are a really nice idea and earning one is an happy event. Who invented the hat system??? I was wondering how they were born and who chose their names?

arda

12:17

@Panda nope, but you know, it takes time for script to run

kelvinelove

oh

Panda

@arda Yea, #hatlag :P

Gd luck!

I'm not totally sure that it's the comments that triggered the hat

arda

It might be that the post was after the winterbash begun

Panda

I did quite many actions earlier in the day

@arda Yea, some described that they got it while not doing anything

yesterday, by Andrew Li

I was browsing the homepage, commenting and editing when I got 6

8 hours ago, by Alexander O'Mara

Only thing I did in time frame is answer and edit that question (adding a tag).

arda

6 tags maybe?

CinCout

@AnkitSharma twitter + chat

Panda

@arda A post can only have 5 tags max?

arda

@Panda derp

Panda

Lol

6 tag (edit)s maybe?

CinCout

@Panda any tips for 6?

Vikrant

12:25

@arda maybe..... hummm

@arda Might be

Vikrant

@Panda see this

Panda

@CinCout Nope, but I think it got to do with comments

@Vikrant ?

@Panda I was showing that image to @arda

arda

12:29

6 comments in 6 minutes, maybe?

do we have 6 online people here?

Stewartside

@arda I would do select * from Posts where PostTypeId = 2 and CommentCount = 6 ORDER BY CreationDate DESC

arda

and limit it (I suck in SQL)

TAKE 10 or smt

Vikrant

Can we find out , who has more than 15 hats today...?

Q: Why can't members wear hats on chat?

Why can't I wear hats in chat rooms? I don't see other members wearing it there either -- why is that? I think that something's wrong with chat, for example in my profile, I am wearing the hat but in actual chat it doesn't show. Also this member doesn't wear it, but in the room like this, they ...

Q: ‘Running Ragged’ hat not awarded

The description for the ‘Running Ragged’ hat is earn 150 reputation points on three different sites (not including Stack Overflow) within 15 days. On December 19th (the first day of Winter Bash), I gained 150 or more reputation on Meta Stack Exchange, Puzzling and English Language & Learner...

Stewartside

@arda dont seem to be getting the badge after 6 comments

Vikrant

exactly!!

@Stewartside, they live... can you explain little about getting it!

Stewartside

@Vikrant Still not sure

some people are saying review edits on posts > 1 year

Vikrant

12:57

you edited any number of old posts?

Stewartside

no

Do reviews on edits of old posts

but I did 20 reviews in the pattern found on the google docs but someone noticed I did some reviews on posts older than 3 years so could have been that that triggered the hat

Vikrant

who edits old posts MANnnn ! :(

Hardly able to see any!

Wrzlprmft

@Vikrant Simply hold a retagging event on your site …

Vikrant

I am in that practice only :D

Wrzlprmft

At least on SO, you have plenty of reviews available. On other sites, you have a suggested-edit review every once in a unicorn.

DavidPostill

13:04

@Wrzlprmft SU is not too bad. I've done 11 and not got the badge. Waiting for some more ...

Wrzlprmft

The sites on which I can review edits usually have only a handful of suggested edits total on a day.

DavidPostill

@Wrzlprmft Yes. Many hats are clearly easier to get on SO, except maybe "Third Time's A Charm"

Vikrant

cool @Stewartside, I edited 8 posts, don't know on which I got "they live"

Eran

I just got the 6 hat on SO

Himarm

hrm not getting the yoda hat today

The 6 hat is my 6th secret hat :)

Morning people o/

Eran

morning

Ankit Sharma

@Eran wow

I tired 180 degree twice and failed

Look like title editing don't count and ur own question don't count

Eran

@AnkitSharma Really? I got that 180 by following the instructions on the meta SE secret hats answer

Vikrant

this answer

Ankit Sharma

13:22

@Eran I did the same. First I mod closed + reopend my own question with a minor edit, it didn't worked. Then I reopened a identification question which was improved later but I only fixed title and didn't got hat

@Vikrant I know , I know

Himarm

ive read a few people who said doing their own questions didnt work for 180

Ankit Sharma

@Himarm title edit didn't worked for me too

Himarm

i closed someone elses question, edited the body, and re-opened all through voting, no mod/gold involved

Eran

For 180 - I just chose a question having 4 close votes. Then I supplied the 5th close vote, edited the question and voted to open.

You don't have to re-open the question.

Himarm

13:28

yeah just vote to*

Eran

If you have 3k on SO, I can provide links to question with 4 close votes

Ankit Sharma

:( by hat gods are angry on me

@Eran I don't :(

Eran

do you have 3k on any other site?

Ankit Sharma

@Eran movies stackexchange, hinduism and SFF

So i can't be helped

Eran

@AnkitSharma then try on those sites. If you have 10k on any of them, you can use moderator tools to find questions with 4 close votes.

Also, you can abuse your moderator powers …

how do you search for closed questions in the site?

(I am not a 10k+er)

DavidPostill

@BalarkaSen If you don't have 10k you won't be able to view them even if you manage to find them.

Balarka Sen

crap.

Thanks though.

Eran

Are we talking about closed questions or deleted questions? No need for 10k to view closed questions.

Saiid

Eran

You search for closed questions with closed:1

DavidPostill

@Eran That's true.
