Hi all
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ posted my first challenge: codegolf.stackexchange.com/q/104867/56456
Should've posted to sandbox. Should I do that instead?

@AndrewLi good idea, if it gets closed (which IMO it shouldn't, it's pretty clear as-is) then you can delete, post to sandbox, and undelete the main post when it's clarified.

Approve 2 out of 5 suggested edits on old questions?

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ I left Catalina in California yesterday. Right now on my way to Baja California in Mexico so mountain time or pacific IIRC
Anyways I deleted the challenge so I could improve it and put it into the sandbox because it has a few problems
Once it's good do I repost or undelete?

Q: Make hat tooptip (and everywhere) more clear

alexolutCurrently hats count means count of different hats (because one hat can be earned more then once), but even tooltip doesn't say about it: : My request is to add word "different" (or more suitable word in this context) for more clearer text.

Q: Winter Bash Snapchat Hat

JoacerI have a doubt, I just received the Snapchat hat for a question that was made 2 days ago and I answered two days ago, but until today I have not had more than 3 votes and it has been accepted today. My question is: should the answer be accepted within 30 minutes of the question being asked? Or i...

Q: Winter Bash 2016 - All Hats

DavidI decided to start the traditional secret hats post, but instead of just another "here is how you get the secret hats" post, to also add in all the hats. There are two answers: one for the secret hats, and one for the regular hats. Some notes about secret hats: A secret hat for correctly gue...

Another note, I earned trendsetter today.
I've changed my hat some 20 times in the last 5 days.
I inverted it today. I guess that must be the trigger.

Apparently we know what it is now "Change your hat at least once daily for three (UTC) days in a row."

I'm not sure, I started changing my hat Saturday, and I just got it.

I changed twice on Sat, Sun, Mon and Tue. I did not get it :(
I'm sure there's something else to it.

Could 'They Live' have something to do with being the deciding vote on a suggested edit with 2 accepts and 2 rejects?

which 2 matter? (Probably the ones that are least used)

@DavidPostill Those are the 5 possibilities

@Brian that's my thought as well. I think it's probably Improve Edit and Reject and Edit which matter

@BhargavRao I wasn't thinking that just being the deciding vote on one suggested edit would give you the hat.
But I'm leaning more toward a certain total of Improve Edit and Reject and Edit reviews.
Brian

Well, I got it for something that I did in the suggested edits review queue.
I did 7 Improve Edits and one Reject and Edit before getting 'They Live'

I have done an experiment on the Trendsetter. You get the hat if you change 3 times (one each day) on the same site with your choice not set on this site only.
When I had 'this site only' activated I did not get the hat.
David
David

@BhargavRao I'm pretty sure it is change your hat 3 days in a row, but it has to be a hat you earned on the site you are doing the changing.
Bhargav Rao
Bhargav Rao
@David really? I got it when I changed the egoist hat (earned on MSE) on SO.
Some confusion there :/
David
David
hmm. well I got it after 3 days of changing without the "this site only" button checked
however, I'm trying to get the community bot to get it on BSE, now it hasn't even thought I changed it more then 3 in a row. Thus my guess about earned on the site.

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ So I tried to create a similar challenge but better formed
Let me post on sandbox real quick

I honestly think that's about good
let it sit for about a day if you can, just in case anybody sees and clarifies
plus the main chatroom (TNB) has a feed from the sandbox, people will see it there

I don't know how to explain nesting
You noticed it was a different challenge right?
Similar but different
Why is it "the nineteenth byte"?

it's supposed to be based off the 19th hole (aka the pub) in golf

@David Doesn't work very well... I wish there was a way to search -3 or less.

i think hats apply to meta too? don't quote me on that.
they might be treated differently though, inasmuch as the award is on the meta-site itself, but not the main site.

@AndrewLi trendsetter doesn't have to be 3 days in a row. I just changed my hat, after several days of wearing the same hat (was on holiday), and got trendsetter.
Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ
Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ
maybe it's wear 30% of your hats or something?
Samuel Liew
Samuel Liew
@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ No, I didn't wear 30% of my hats, plus it would be difficult to track 30% when you can earn more in the meantime.
"in a row" could be wrong
