Alexander O'Mara

16:00

Did you get upvotes?

eLRuLL

maybe it has something to do with flagging questions

Mithrandir

Nope

No flaghats

TypoCubeᵀᴹ

did you get any badge lately?

Eran

@Barry choose a site and vote on 600 questions. Should take 15 days

eLRuLL

"The Hatter", looks like something hateful :D

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

16:00

^

here comes the other hatter person

Kritixi Lithos

The Mad Hatter

alecxe

could it be about reaching people?..

Mithrandir

??

alecxe

he reached >512 people on ask different

may be the 500 threshold..idk

Alexander O'Mara

They don't have any activity in last 15 minutes: apple.stackexchange.com/users/77164/elrull?tab=activity

Mithrandir

16:01

I hit reached 100k during WB in think and didn't get a hat

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

> ~564k

nope

eLRuLL

I didn't have much activity on ask different, in fact I only have 130 reputation there.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@AlexanderO'Mara I know at least conor got it overnight

last activity was 15h ago

Mithrandir

Hmm...

Kritixi Lithos

Maybe it's something to do with hats

eLRuLL

16:02

and yesterday I got 4 bronze badges

Conor O'Brien

that is to say, I didn't do anything for it

because it wasn't there when I signed off

Alexander O'Mara

@ConorO'Brien What site did you get it?

eLRuLL

- Editor
- Citizen Patrol
- Excavator
- Teacher

Conor O'Brien

@AlexanderO'Mara PPCG

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

maybe it's have your answers aid in a hat given?

or something like that

Andrew Li

16:03

I got a new secret

The Hatter

Conor O'Brien

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

which is?

@AndrewLi hahaha to slow

Andrew Li

What

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

2 people already found it (alex isn't one of them)

Alexander O'Mara

@AndrewLi And idea how?

Andrew Li

16:03

I got a few hours ago

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@ConorO'Brien and @eLRuLL

Andrew Li

Just checked

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@AndrewLi so did everybody

looks like you don't do anything, just happens to you

Saiid

I added his activity to the GDoc

Andrew Li

No activity from me @AlexanderO'Mara

Conor O'Brien

16:04

@AndrewLi which site?

Andrew Li

@ConorO'Brien SE

meta

I did get a +23 question

Alexander O'Mara

Was anyone online when they got it?

Mithrandir

I got a +25 q, no hat

Conor O'Brien

+16 q, but I have hat

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@Mithrandir edit suggestion work?

Andrew Li

16:05

School has disabled me from Hats

Kritixi Lithos

Maybe reviews in general

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@AndrewLi you aern't out yet?

Mithrandir

I want more

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ ^

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

finals ended on friday for me

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Barry

@Eran what, start finding comments to flag aggressively?

eLRuLL

16:07

maybe also flagging comments.

Mithrandir

..That's two. 8 more? :P

Conor O'Brien

@AndrewLi how many hats have you worn since winterbash started?

Eran

@Barry no, voting on questions is easier

Saiid

Maybe it has to do with revisions?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@ConorO'Brien hmmmmm maybe it's for keeping the same hat for a certain amount of time?

eLRuLL

16:08

BTW, that's my ONLY hat on Ask Different, maybe something to do with that?

Conor O'Brien

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ that's what I'm thinking

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

like putting on and keeping a hat for 80% of the time

eLRuLL

@AndrewLi you got more hats in meta?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@eLRuLL do you ever use the "wear only on this site"?

Conor O'Brien

before I've only worn the telephone hat

DavidPostill

16:08

@AndrewLi And no other recent activity on Meta

eLRuLL

no, always for all sites

Kritixi Lithos

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ That's what I'm also thinking

eLRuLL

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ that wouldn't explain why I got it on Ask Different

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

hm

eLRuLL

and NO, I only used it for "all sites"

@ConorO'Brien how many hats you have in PPCG?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

16:10

8

Alexander O'Mara

@eLRuLL Were you online the minute you got it?

Conor O'Brien

@eLRuLL 8

eLRuLL

yes but not in the Ask Different site

I am mostly in SO

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

then maybe it's something about your answers/questions

Conor O'Brien

did you gain any rep there recently?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

16:10

somebody getting hat off them

Barry

@Eran what gold badge do I get for voting for questions?

Mithrandir

Electorate

Alexander O'Mara

@eLRuLL Did you get any upvotes or downvotes around that time?

Conor O'Brien

@Barry electorate

Barry

@ConorO'Brien Already got it

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

16:11

@ConorO'Brien profile says answers yesterday

eLRuLL

@AlexanderO'Mara no, no activity since yesterday

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

+2 and +1

@Mithrandir did the test edit work/

eLRuLL

I was checking SO and the winter notification appear with 3 hats at a time 011, Snapchat (both for SO) and the Hatter for Ask Different

David

who is talking about the new secret hat?

Mithrandir

Can I have some more?

David

16:12

codegolf.stackexchange.com/users/31957/…

Alexander O'Mara

@David They're here.

Eran

@Barry don't remember the name but you need 600 votes and there's a limit of 40 per day

Conor O'Brien

I think I got just here for the hats this morning on meta.se

Alexander O'Mara

Strange people are just getting it now.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@AndrewLi you got it didn't you

Kritixi Lithos

16:14

@ConorO'Brien Everyone at PPCG should have got it yesterday night

Conor O'Brien

yup

David

@ConorO'Brien have you done anything on PCG's meta?

Mithrandir

I wanna see if there's a hat for wearing all of your hats / changing hat 20 times

Conor O'Brien

@David a few things yes

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@David he commented on my answer

and answered his own a day ago

plus whatever voting

Kritixi Lithos

16:15

And the answer has one vote

Conor O'Brien

I posted this

David

I thing it is more likely that is came form here, but just guessing at this point

Mithrandir

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ will you do some more suggedt please?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

sure

@ConorO'Brien also, a lot of answers on the challenge have 0 votes

nitsua60

Just got 8,243,721. No idea how. Feel free to rummage in my activity. (All on RPGSE in the last hours.)

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

16:19

maybe something about that?

Mithrandir

Comments, the Bert/Ernie I think

I got them having a lengthy comment discussion which we deleetd later

TypoCubeᵀᴹ

@nitsua60 Did you delete comments recently?

nitsua60

I did delete three or four comments on the same post recently =)

(I try to keep the place clean.)

Maybe it's a riff on B&E's famous fastidiousness?

Alexander O'Mara

Anyone want to test it with me?

Mithrandir

? Delete 6 comments on the same post. ?

@AlexanderO'Mara puzzling.stackexchange.com/questions/46930/… here

TypoCubeᵀᴹ

16:21

I got mine a few days ago, after I had deleted a lot of comments, some under same post.

But I'm not sure if that was the trigger. I also had done other stuff.

Alexander O'Mara

@Mithrandir You're turn.

nitsua60

@Mithrandir It could have been six. If a mod wants to check out the deleted comments on this answer they might glean some info.

I also occasioned an edit conflict a few moments ago--any possibility that's it, rather than comments?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

if it's for have a comment discussion with another person, I should get it soon

I just had about 3-4 and 3-4 comments about a questino on PPCG

Kritixi Lithos

Wait, can you comment on my Sandbox and see what happens?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

link?

Kritixi Lithos

16:25

here

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@Mithrandir there's another 3

Mithrandir

I only saw 1

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@KritixiLithos done

@Mithrandir hm, I did like 5 total so far

3 in this set though

yellow alert, worf's uniform, and 1 other

Mithrandir

I saw those, maybe. I thought you meant 3 now

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

I did

David

16:27

The thing that I find interesting is that this hat only showed up now, but it is rather common.

Mithrandir

@David How common?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

3 people so far

all at the same time

David

@Mithrandir dont know, but going my the sorting (rarest first) on the leader board, there are quite a few with it.

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ more then that.

I have 5 open now

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ me guesses time is the important factor here.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

yeah

Mithrandir

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ Now I need some to reject, but that can still be approved

RamenChef

16:30

Apparently I have "the hatter".

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

oic, will do minor edits

@RamenChef congrats, you're one of todays lucky around 5 so far

Alexander O'Mara

How is everyone getting The Hatter?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@Mithrandir minor edit on a qustion about the borg

David

@AlexanderO'Mara need data. everybody that has gotten it, ~ when did you get it?

I figure about 40 mins ago. is that right?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@Mithrandir @AlexanderO'Mara any hat?

Mithrandir

16:32

Not yet, will deleet soon

But i already got the hat so just ask @AlexanderO'Mara

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

oic

Mithrandir

One more?

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

k

Kritixi Lithos

I think the comments have to have upvotes

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@Mithrandir removed bold + italics from yellow alert

Alexander O'Mara

16:34

@KritixiLithos Here, you can upvote them: puzzling.stackexchange.com/questions/46930/…

Mithrandir

Reject and edit :P

Kritixi Lithos

I just upvoted 4 of them otherwise it will be too suspicious

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@Mithrandir ok need anymore?

@KritixiLithos I upvoted them all lol

they don't give rep so whatever

Mithrandir

I'm never against it, but I don't want to flood the front page

Try some tag wiki edits

I have 5k on SFF

Kritixi Lithos

But mods can 11 us if something's too suspicious >_>

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

16:36

yeah, I've got 575

@KritixiLithos true

Alexander O'Mara

@Mithrandir Guess it's time to delete?

nitsua60

@KritixiLithos But they're used to higher churn during Hatmas. Just make sure the edits are good, non-trivial ones.

Mithrandir

I guess

nitsua60

Sometimes it takes time. You pore over a few dozen posts, find five you want to edit, make all the edits in separate tabs, then submit one every thirty seconds. In minutes it'll drop down the frontpage.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@Mithrandir done the star-terk wiki one

Mithrandir

16:38

BLUE IN THE FACE

LONG COMMENT DISCUSSION = BLUE IN THE FACE

Alexander O'Mara

@Mithrandir Did you just get it?

Saiid

really?

nitsua60

@Mithrandir deletion, or just having it?

Mithrandir

Just got it

Alexander O'Mara

I didn't get it, only the asker gets it?

Mithrandir

16:39

Having them, possibly with upvotes on some/all

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@Mithrandir OH COOL

ohhhh

nitsua60

did you ignore the "auto-chatroom"?

Mithrandir

Yes

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

talking a lot time = blue in the face

Kritixi Lithos

But maybe it's because you edited your question after the long discussion

Mithrandir

16:39

Possibly

Alexander O'Mara

No luck on The Hatter either.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

:/

@Mithrandir those 2 tag wiki edits work?

Mithrandir

Waiting

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@KritixiLithos hello? keep the comments coming

oh, interesting

any hat?

Mithrandir

I gtg now. We'lls ee if I get more hats

Kritixi Lithos

16:42

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ I edited the post

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

see ya!

@KritixiLithos saw that

any hat yet?

Kritixi Lithos

nope

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

:/

Andrew Li

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ I get out Dec 23.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

oh nice

see y'all, I'm leaving too

Kritixi Lithos

16:45

Bye

MasterBob

bye, and hi

Andrew Li

Ugh. 5 chat pings

School is a dingle

@AlexanderO'Mara how did you get mild-mannered?

Alexander O'Mara

@AndrewLi Accepted answer with no upvotes maybe?

Andrew Li

Huh.

seems a bit easy

Hats Stack Exchange

Q: Got a Gold badge, but not 24

I was awarded the gold-badge "electorate" on Meta.Stackoverflow. But I was not awarded the hat "24". The description of the hat on the official winterbash site says "earn a gold badge". Why was the hat not awarded?

Alexander O'Mara

16:51

Just got 8,243,721 for Puzzeling.

MrFlick

To those that got Blue in the Face, did you post a comment with a link to another question in it? Just got it and it seems to be comment related. I also happened to link to a very popular question. And i've posted that same link (how to make a good reproducible question) to a bunch of different questions.

Alexander O'Mara

Must have been that thing we did @Mithrandir.

I haven't posted anything else.

Someone want to help me repeat on Stack Overflow?

Stewartside

@AlexanderO'Mara can do

MasterBob

@MrFlick does that include close votes?

Stewartside

what we gotta do?

Alexander O'Mara

16:52

@Stewartside Comment here: stackoverflow.com/questions/20909406/…

Stewartside

On Q or answer? just commented on the Q but if its the Answer then yeah ill start there

Alexander O'Mara

@Stewartside Just question.

MasterBob

elementary looks like its confirmed, but did anybody try editing 5 answers?

MrFlick

@MasterBob I don't think mine was related to a close vote.

MasterBob

@MrFlick I know, but can it be a close vote?

nitsua60

16:55

@MasterBob I think my five qualifying posts were all answers.

[rummages]

Andrew Li

@AlexanderO'Mara what were you doing on Puzzling?

MrFlick

I'm just guessing but I don't think so. I think you need to be able to include a link to another question in the comment, not just a duplicate close vote. At least that would match with my experience today

Alexander O'Mara

@AndrewLi Commenting back and forth, got upvotes on comments, waited ~10 minutes, then deleted.

Andrew Li

@AlexanderO'Mara Ok. Let's see...

nitsua60

@AlexanderO'Mara back-and-forth as far as the auto-move notice? Beyond?

Alexander O'Mara

16:59

I'm trying to reproduce on SO, 5 comments, without upvotes.

Himarm

had a guy just get elementary for editing 5 tags of old questions

Alexander O'Mara

@nitsua60 Probably about there.

Himarm

scifi.stackexchange.com/users/57310/skooba?tab=activity

Stewartside

Im just doing some QA stuff so I got time to waste

MasterBob

@Himarm yes, that was confirmed, but it's possible the criteria could be lower

Alexander O'Mara

16:59

We had gotten past that dialog, and did 8 each when on Puzzle.

Stewartside

2 days before I break for xmas with little to do :P

@MasterBob Yeah, thursday and friday then im off till Jan 3rd

MasterBob

@Stewardside or are the time zones messing us up again

Stewartside

clarified a bit haha

MasterBob

@Stewartside hah, got off last week

Stewartside

lucky

Saiid

17:04

^^

Hey guys(and gals), does anyone know a way to force-close a tab?

Stewartside

on chrome?

Saiid

yeah

Stewartside

shift + esc opens the task manager

then select it and kill

Saiid

I stupidly ran var i=0;while(i!=Infinity)i++

MasterBob

@saiid really?

Saiid

17:07

And I can't, running Windows 7. The task manager is not detailed enough

@MasterBob Yes V-V

MasterBob

@Saiid i would expect a better person not to run that

Saiid

Well, you know, I read something that said that js's Infinity started at 2.something or other E+1038

So I wanted to see how fast it would get there

Stewartside

@AlexanderO'Mara anything yet?

you'll have to kill the entire window then :P

Alexander O'Mara

@Stewartside Not yet.

@Stewartside I think we have to delete them. It's been 10 minutes, time to nuke.

bleh

are there any questions currently needing closing :(

Alexander O'Mara

17:12

Cool, now we wait another 10 minutes. Or until the hat shows up.

MasterBob

Did anybody earn elementary by editing an answer (not a question)?

bleh

[Testing -- Stewartside -> CONFIRMED

should we add it in

Saiid

@MasterBob Yes, but I don't remember who, and it wasn't confirmed

MasterBob

@bleh by an answer

@bleh and i think we added that

bleh

nope

MasterBob

17:15

@Saiid really? did anybody repo

ok im going afk

gonna be back (gotta do a blood test)

Saiid

eegh blood test

Andrew Li

Wait

Vandalism happened again?

Geez

I need to look into banning IPs

If that even is possible

bleh

turn into comment only and you are the owner

nitsua60

@AndrewLi This is why we can't have nice things on the internet =|

2

Andrew Li

I want it to be open though :/

nitsua60

17:23

We have a user with both 6 and 8,243,whatever.

Stewartside

@AlexanderO'Mara not looking promising

Alexander O'Mara

@Stewartside No, looks like the comments needed upvotes.

Retry?

nitsua60

I'm in the middle of a similar experiment: 8-comment colloquy, ignores the auto-room creation. No hat.
Upvotes. No hat.
Deletion (one side of the conversation upvoted, the other not). Waiting....

Alexander O'Mara

Anyone want to have another go at the 8,* hat?

nitsua60

Activity that triggered 6, from a user already possessing 8,234,567 (Spoilers for Runelords therein)

Andrew Li

17:29

Sure @AlexanderO'Mara

Alexander O'Mara

@AndrewLi Comment here: stackoverflow.com/questions/20909406/…

Andrew Li

@AlexanderO'Mara done

Alexander O'Mara

@AndrewLi Ok, lets go for 5 each, upvotes on all.

bleh

I dont get wat @AndrewLi did

you just need a comment?

Alexander O'Mara

@AndrewLi You need to comment again. 5 comments each. In a discussion.

TypoCubeᵀᴹ

17:33

has anyone got 6, without having got 8234567 previously?

orthocresol

Yes, I just got 6, without 8,xxx,yyy.

Andrew Li

Kritixi Lithos

Andrew Li

Alexander O'Mara

@TypoCubeᵀᴹ yes

@AndrewLi Also, upvote my comments.

bleh

17:38

DavidPostill

Just got "TheyLive" 5 accepts, 4 improve, 2 reject/edit, 7 rejects - 18 reviews

bleh

Lets find another post @Saiid

Saiid

lol, alright

bleh

A: CSS transform transition layout flash in WebKit (possibly caused by layout caching?)

This was apparently a bug in the vendor-prefixed implementation of CSS transitions where it pre-computes the target and does not update it after a reflow. It's no longer resent in the un-prefixed version in newer versions of WebKit.

Alexander O'Mara

@AndrewLi Lets go until we hit move-to-chat.

Saiid

17:39

@AndrewLi What hat are you going for?

Andrew Li

@AlexanderO'Mara also stuff that is of substance

Maybe 8 upvotes, 2 upvotes, 3, 4, 7, 2, 1, etc?

Saiid

Which hat are you attempting to get with the comments?

bleh

8

Saiid

oh

bleh

8-comment colloquy, ignores the auto-room creation. No hat.
Upvotes. No hat.

Yes I have confirmed Taco about it

3 exteremly old

posts

nothing in the edit summary

Andrew Li

17:42

Can people delete their comments on Alex's post?

bleh

saiid and i have already hit the 7 comment mark

and it said to move to chat

Saiid

Can we wait 10 minutes to see if we get a hat?

bleh

i ignored it

yeah

Andrew Li

@Saiid can you delete comments on alex's post?

Saiid

29 secs ago, by Saiid

Can we wait 10 minutes to see if we get a hat?

Andrew Li

17:44

Also @bleh too

bleh

yeah

Andrew Li

The question

The question

bleh

NOOOO

Q: Did Umbridge know when to come in to her office?

So when Harry stupidly goes into Umbridges office to talk to Sirius, he gets very rudely interrupted. But did Umbridge know when to come into her office? If so, how?

harry-potter

lets try

Kritixi Lithos

@AndrewLi I'm just trying to increase the comment count :)

Andrew Li

@Saiid @bleh @KritixiLithos purge your comments on the questions please

bleh

i did

Saiid

I removed mine from Alex's

Kritixi Lithos

Purged

Andrew Li

17:47

Not all @Saiid

Saiid

Yes

bleh

@someone can we comment test on my question

Alexander O'Mara

@AndrewLi Cool, let's wait 10 minutes, then nuke.

Kritixi Lithos

I think you might also need to edit the question afterwards

bleh

why are we testing such a situation anyway

Andrew Li

17:49

@AlexanderO'Mara why

Alexander O'Mara

@AndrewLi Not sure, we did that before.

bleh

ok @Saiid lets wait 10 minutes to nuke

Saiid

nah

nitsua60

On "Blue in the Face": 8 back-and-forth (4 each user) comments (which gets you past the auto-room message), upvoted, deleted, does not suffice. Trying with 10 (5 each) now, one user's upvoted, the other's not.

Saiid

let's keep going to see if it works

Alexander O'Mara

17:53

@AndrewLi We can probably just nuke the ones from the first one now.

@AndrewLi Nuke here? stackoverflow.com/questions/20909406/…

Alexander O'Mara

@bleh I didn't have to on Puzzling.

Alexander O'Mara

8 each, 16 total

nitsua60

@bleh 4 (each) did not work for us.
