i think most hats have serious lag.

14 hours?

"Can alexander o mara comment on how they think they got this hat? I think they are in the doc" - Nope.

Not a clue.

Last thing I did was post a question to get The Hatter.

And post a comment replying to an answer.

I was not online when I got it.

I can somewhat confirm the rumours about Mild Mannered, posting an answer that gets accepted with 0 upvotes, I got it here: gis.stackexchange.com/a/222383/12310 (no other activities since Dec. 19 there)

The 14 hour 'lag' might be one where you need other people to upvote you, which can happen any time.

I just got the Elemetary.

@chrki, I also got mild mannered and I did have an accepted answer without upvotes.

On that site.

I added some vague ideas to the GDoc about how I might have gotten it. Just throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks really though.

Maybe be the first to review an edit and have everyone else pick the same action (approve or reject) as you?

@TheSharpieOne maybe..?

i'm trying to wear every hat and see what happens.

could even be vote to close and have everyone else that voted pick the same reason?

I do that a lot, see that it should be closed and just look for the blue thing that indicates the reason others have chosen.... usually it's the right reason

thus, the first person is setting the trend

suspiciously similar... :P

It doesn't mean anything, and for reference that is from here.

kcgreen :D

does he know about the hat btw

?

oh, idk

gunshowcomic.com/648 he made that comic originally

oic

Hiya!!

hey

Answered before 30 mins, accepted, +3, still no hat? :( stackoverflow.com/q/41305899/2173917

Am I right that the elementary is give for editing 5 Q which are at least a year old?

@SouravGhosh, do you know when the Q was closed? If it was closed before the hat bot checked it, that might be the reason.

Is there a new hat in the hood?

Or maybe your upvotes are too recent and the hat will come the next time it is checked.

What is the trigger of trendsetter? A new tag?

@Willeke got closed pretty quick, agree. Not sure of the UV's though.

@SouravGhosh, keep hope for at least half an hour.

woa

huh

but grid multiplayer is dead :(

@Willeke Not sure whether the post will survive, though. Kind of sad. (me goes and sulks in a corner)

New secret hat guys

Bluefeet has Trendsetter

Ugh. Late to the party again

testing Trendsetter with close here: askubuntu.com/questions/863942/cant-remove-or-download-programs, was first CVer, we'll see.

Though I think Trendsetter would have been awarded to a lot more people if that were the case (review or first close)

@KazWolfe I doubt that's it, I've been the first to VTC lots of questions in the past days.

Maybe if it's only specific days of the week or something.

"this is fine" is hard to get.

it's like SE is encouraging us to write bad answers.

Yeah, but not too bad, you still need +1.

does an expired bounty count?

(as in, one awarded to nobody?)

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ It was just one vote on the last comment. Some of my earlier upvoted comments had more than one vote though, so it seems it's "10 upvoted comments" rather than "10 upvotes on comments".

Relatively low-rep user with Trendsetter (AU again): askubuntu.com/users/459561/george?tab=activity

So it can't be first in CV/review queue.

unless it's editing something in FP?

otherwise, he really doesn't have anything too interesting in his history.

askubuntu user Zanna has it too, here's a (stupid) theory: both make excessive use of lists and formatting in their answers

I've added some confirmatory evidence for Mild Mannered to the Google Doc.

I'm going with any zero-scored accepted answer that remains zero-scored for at least 12 hours. A mild form of Unsung Hero.

yeah, i think we cracked mild mannered for the most part.

Where (or how) do I find that Google Doc, please.

docs.google.com/document/d/…

Thanks

About the 8.2and so on, I did get it on deleting old comments, not posting new comments in that time frame. Several others here tested it and 10 or more deleted comments (older ones or newer ones did not matter) of which several had been upvoted.

so are upvoted comments required for deletion?

It seems so. Some guessed it needs to be 50% of the deleted comments, but that is not confirmed as far as I know.

I tend not to delete upvoted comments but did some. I did well more than 10 before getting the hat, so I think the number of upvoted ones triggered it.

is asking for comment upvotes immoral here?

@KazWolfe Yes.

@DavidPostill k.

@KazWolfe ^^^

(comment votes are disruptive? til)

@KazWolfe People were creating comments and asking each other to upvote them whilst try to test getting a hat ... @bluefeet didn't like it ...

even if the comments already existed?

still, TIL. back to cleanup.

Asking HERE is not allowed. (Maybe you participate in the chat to the site you answer.)

also, on the subject of comments.

data.stackexchange.com/askubuntu/query/edit/607484 -- script to pull all comments over 1 year old with a score of at least 1, good for cleanup, and potentially the 8,XXX,XXX badge.

set your site and ID.

also you can only apparently delete comments from 20 posts / day

@KazWolfe I just got the badge before hitting the 20 limit. I don't know how many are actually needed.

@DavidPostill huh, still pending here.

Try 10 with at least 5 upvoted.

Last year's Cleanup Crew was 10 comments:

> Cleanup Crew is earned by deleting 10 of your own comments on posts that fulfill certain criteria: the post was edited after the comment was posted, the edit was made by the owner of the post, and the owner of the post is not you.

@KazWolfe Or to answer several bounty questions on the basis you won't win 'em all.

@PaulWhite, lovely if there are bounty questions you can answer. On the site I have the most activity (and most hats) there are 8 bounty questions, 7 of them out of my knowledge field and proven hard to answer (been unanswered for months)and the 8th is one I put a bounty on to give the rest of the guys/girls something htat is answerable.

Yeah hats can be hard.

@Loong Some of the ones I deleted were on posts that had not been edited.

i'm guessing hatlag?

I am trying to be nice and upvote new comments when I see them, I also upvote new questions and answers, but that is what I usually do.

I have never asked such a popular question, this is crazy. Out of my last three questions, three of them have been HNQs.

i think we can confirm Mad Hatter now.

:)

(unless we want to do some further negative-case testing)

Oh. I just got trendsetter :) No idea why :/

@DavidPostill nothing interesting in your activity

those who want to see it

unless it's just more hatlag, of which there seems to be a lot.

I wonder if it because I just changed my hat (again). I have worn (I think) 12 of my twenty has on SU.

@DavidPostill when did this hats first surface?

Today AFIAK

what if trendsetter is "be the first on your site to wear a specific hat"

@Mego true...

actually, no, can't happen. people would have gotten these hats day-0

is here a SO mod? I have a pending flag which is IMHO very important

@rekire You need a mod for the correct site. Which site?

Stack Overflow. I didn't realized that my flag is pending for 7 hours

Just changed my hat and used the custom sizing/position controls. Did nothing else for 5 minutes. Earned Trendsetter.

@PaulWhite thx for the hint

@rekire Try chat.stackoverflow.com/rooms/41570/so-close-vote-reviewers looks like shog9 is maybe awake in there

@DavidPostill let's see what happens

Testing as well

New hat did not yet take here

@Willeke Caching. Reload this page.

It is still showing the gold one here.

@Willeke I see "Cutting the Cord" for your hat.

Good, that is the one I selected.

Ah, now it changed for me as well.

@Willeke Did you get the new hat?

not yet

I changed again, as it might be the total number of changes as well.

And I did not like cordless that much.

Nor do I like the mad hatter.

@Willeke Did you use the hat controls?

Yes, I did.

Same, about 15 minutes ago. No new hat.

@Brian I'm changing my hats for a while if you need to do it more then once

It could be something silly, like "Wear a hat upside down on Dec 23

If I get one more on TSE I will get two, as I am on 10 hats there.

You didn't use the "only on this site" hat option, did you?

Hmm. I had worn my previous 2 hats upside down.

@Brian No. I wear my hats across all sites.

Are my revision to this answer overexplaining?

I'm trying an upside down hat now

Same here (upside down hat)

@AndrewLi Wrong room?

Ugh

@AndrewLi Looks fine to me

Ok, thanks

I'm wondering about the order of the hats I see there no pattern on the leaderboard

Upside down hats?

Testing how to get the new hat.

I wore my hat upside down since start and didnt get that

@MonicaCellio btw, not sure if anybody's congratulated you yet, congrats on 50k on meta.se!

No one got the trendsetter badge before today, now many are getting it. It seems to only be available today.

@rekire I believe the rarest ones are shown first

@DavidPostill that make sense

I switched back to my first hat^^

So did I, (second hat in fact, but the one I like best. (And might be one of the rarest, gold badge one.)

@rekire No. It's the hats people are currently wearing, but people tend to wear their shiny new secret hat if they have one :)

All this moving around did change it to a size and angle I like best.

@rekire on the leader board they are sorted by rarity. However on the profile page it means nothing, they are sorted by hat id.

@DavidPostill on my (random) avatar just one look nice^^

@David Are you sure? There are people wearing "I Am Your Father", this must be one of the most common hats.

hm when is the team section gone in SO (where you could upload a team logo)

@DavidPostill huh? but yes I'm sure of the sorting.

@David On the leader board the avatars are sorted by number of hats. The hat is the one they are currently wearing.

@DavidPostill yes, but @rekire was asking about the order of the 9 hats next to their avatar.

It might be that the change of hat has to be at a certain time or to a certain hat.

@David No. He said "I see there no pattern on the leaderboard"

@Willeke the hats have the same order per listing

@DavidPostill ok. this is just another case of two users each talking about something different.

@David Ah, I see what you mean by the 9 hats - on the site specific leaderboard :)

@DavidPostill or the whole network leader board.

@David BTW you have an offensive post sitting on blender.se

@DavidPostill huh? link

@David It's just gone

was it a new question?

@David Answer blender.stackexchange.com/a/69779

Smokey caught it ...

@DavidPostill thought so :) and thanks

@David No probs

well there is now one less spam account in the world.

@David as a well known supermarket in the UK says for one of their slogans "Every little helps" :)

And I thought they had successfully banned child labour in the UK. ;-)

@Willeke lol

@Willeke what if they are using umpa lumpas

you guys got any ideas on "they live"?

I think Hobbits are more likely.

@David Only what is in the gdoc -->

right

what is trendsetter now?!?!!??

however I rather doubt that it has anything to do with reviewing.

@bleh new hat

and we dont know

@David I got it with some combination of first post reviews (or so it seemed).

I thought bluefeet said that hatter was the last

@DavidPostill you got 8mil from deleting Uved comments?

@bleh not that I know of

wasn't it more of "you'll have to wait and see"?

oh

Well then

@David Yes (my own upvoted comments). That was pretty much all I was doing at the time.

@bleh Did I say that?

@bluefeet Might be going crazy :P

@bluefeet always good to see you drop in.

only briefly, lots to do

I must say I was very surprised to see trendsetter today. I new the solstice hat would be coming, and was expecting something like the hater. I really thought that was it. but this, wow you have put the wonder back in to the bash. Now I dont know what to expect around the next corner.

Good night, can't keep my eyes open anymore.

@David thanks

@bluefeet :) not surprised! you only have all of SE to be CM over, the winter bash to rule, Christmas (you know in the real world) and so on...

@David and I still have to finish baking. This was just a quick pop in to make sure hats was still fun for folks.

very much so!

PS when can we expect another hat hint?

received mad hatter

@David hmm, maybe tomorrow as an early gift if I have time to think of one. I'll just have to figure out which one to hint

question one upvote asked 14:45 PST someone please add to the google doc

docs.google.com/document/d/…

So it's any quarter???

dang it

@David but I'm off again. Enjoy!

@bluefeet I would vote for They Live or the new one trendsetter.

@bluefeet thanks, have a good one.

@David +1 for trendsetter :)

well this guy wrecks the Mild Mannered theory.

@David nope. two of his answers got accepted: stackoverflow.com/users/2464657/adam?tab=reputation

@rekire but.

I saw the accepted with 0 Uvs, however that was after the comment where he is talking about how he got it.

@David I guess the comment is not related

merry christmas out of my view^^

maybe

gn8 guys

I just got the Mild Mannered hat and I don't know why

@user2314737 hold on, I can probably tell you.

@user2314737 you just got it?

yes

@user2314737 I'm pretty sure it was this one

see it just got accepted, and it has 0 UVs

and it is older then ~12 hours.

oh okay I thought it would have something to do with comments

thanks

not for that one, I dont think.

@David you have a nice hat I have to get that one

Damn. Missed "The Hatter" by 14 seconds :/

@DavidPostill don't swear yet, you may find another hat...

@David Oh really? ;)

we can never know...

well till it is over :)

lol, i was just participating and got the hatter somehow

how do you miss it? is there a timeframe?

@suomynonA you asked a question, right?

@suomynonA yep.

I asked two, but I got the hat as soon as I got an upvote on the first

@suomynonA exactly.

I just got the secret hat, "6", after earning 6 hats in one site in one day.

Maybe that's the criteria for "6". FYI, that one site was Meta Stack Exchange

@PythonMaster have to say no i got 6 today to and all i earned before have been 4 hats, so surely not related to that

6 hats in one site?

and what did i do the moment i got it, reading back a few posts s which have occured while i was busy at home lol

no i earned 4 hats and got the 6

it seems totally random you get it

Weird... maybe 6 unique hats regardless of site?

By the way, where's the edit link for that Google Doc?

wasnt able to tie any trigger to it to be honest

docs.google.com/document/d/…

I would just laugh if someone found the trigger in the source code

Thanks @suomynonA

@David considering trendsetter just popped today, I'll leave that one for a bit :)

@bluefeet thought you would ;)

@PythonMaster never. balpha is much more careful then to do something like that. (although in years past there were many of us examining the source)

@PythonMaster I got the 6 after I had more than 10 hats.
