Ye Olde Hat Shoppe

David

16:07

@BhargavRao I know. not only that, the first ever to win the WB twice.

Bhargav Rao

Yep

And the title of the "Maddest Ever Hatter"

David

@BhargavRao can you look to see who has gotten an audit on SO, for me?

I'm curious about this user

Bhargav Rao

Here's another one stackoverflow.com/review/suggested-edits/14750339

This user hasn't got it -----^

David

@BhargavRao stackeverflow.com/admin/review/audits is didxga on that list?

@BhargavRao I noticed... well that is interesting.

Bhargav Rao

@David There's 21 pages of data. Not sure if I can check all of those.

David

16:14

wow you guys have quit a few of those.

how many just during the WB?

Bhargav Rao

That is for 1 week. I need to search 2 weeks to cover complete WB 2016

David

400 in a week! wow

ok so nvm that is not it.

Bhargav Rao

Yeah.

David

BSE has had 0 in last 30 days

Bhargav Rao

I'm sure that it's 2 Reject and Edits.

David

16:16

got to be more to it then that, because I've done many of each type.

maybe skip too?

Bhargav Rao

Hmm, Yeah

David

skip is one think I haven't done yet

Bhargav Rao

I skip a lot

David

interesting.

wow that just was just a light bulb moment for me.

skips do not show up anywhere!

well this I have to try...

@BhargavRao any guesses on how many?

Bhargav Rao

Just a sec, I'll tell you

David

16:20

@KazWolfe by any chance did you skip any reviews yesterday before you got the theylive hat?

Bhargav Rao

@David exact 10

The 10th was 10 minutes before I got the hat

David

@BhargavRao 10 skips?

X-27

Why is the room blue???

Bhargav Rao

Yes

X-27

Who METAed it ???

David

16:22

well that is something

Bhargav Rao

@X-27 We painted it blue

David

@BhargavRao light blue

X-27

well, you chose one of the best shades of the best color to do it in...

Bhargav Rao

Yeah, That color of a clear sky on January 1st

David

ok, so lets say you need 10 skips, what is the other part of "only 2 matter"

Paul White

16:24

@X-27 Is it?

X-27

The meta chatroom theme looks better than the other ones!

@David can you change 8888 to a meta room? :)

David

@X-27 NO!!! we discovered why earlier (read transcript)

X-27

huh?

David

@BhargavRao edits. that is the only other one that everybody has done

X-27

uhhhg/ fine.

starts scrolling up

Bhargav Rao

16:26

@David yeah, Me too.

David

@BhargavRao see if stackoverflow.com/users/231010/didxga?tab=activity is in any chat and wants to try skipping 10.

Bhargav Rao

@David Any user can view the review history.

pinckerman

happy new year, guyz!

X-27

@BhargavRao um... no they can't...

at least, I can't..

Bhargav Rao

@pinckerman Happy new year

David

16:28

@BhargavRao no we can't

Bhargav Rao

Damn, I can. I think it needs 3k

David

just us normal users, can only see our own.

Bhargav Rao

@David 10 skips on Dec 19th.

David

@BhargavRao what user are we talking about?

you?

pinckerman

any news about "Like Clockwork"?

Bhargav Rao

16:30

@David Nope the one you linked.

@pinckerman vote on 7 days continuously

David

@BhargavRao Ah. thanks

@pinckerman yah, what he just said.

Dec 27 at 4:00, by David

nearly 100% sure it is vote every day for a week

pinckerman

thx, I have missed a day then..

(can I have a star, too?)

David

@pinckerman it will be on the meta.

if you want the hat on your home site, you will have to go to a chat there.

Bhargav Rao

If I weren't a mod, I'd 100% participate in WB with full zeal.

David

@BhargavRao no reason being a mod has do dampen your fun for the WB

Bhargav Rao

16:38

I'm not able to devote my time to answering. There's a lot of poo that needs to be deleted

David

oh I know.

Bhargav Rao

There's been 1000 flags today, And it's a "silent day".

On few days, we cross 2.5k flags per day. It's a lot of flags.

David

before I was a mod, I would answer almost every day. Now (when not during the WB) I have gone a month answerless.

Coffee and Clonazepam

17:04

"cephalic-accessoires" best tag ever

4

David

@CoffeeandClonazepam yah, that was Wrzlprmft who added the tags.

pretty funny

Glorfindel

17:29

Hatty New Year everybody!

4

Eggakin Baconwalker

Happy new year !!!

Willeke

Happy hatty new year to you as well.

user65768

Just got They Live

David

@user65768 sigh. good for you.

X-27

@user65768 and I suppose you have no idea how?

David

17:34

@user65768 could you please post a picture of your review history, with skipped items checked.

user65768

Best guess? "Improve and Edit" 3 times, "Reject and Edit" twice.

I can't count how many times I did just approve, don't think I skipped or rejected once in the WB period

(reject was going to be my next test but it popped up before)

David

you did not skip any? shoot there goes that theory.

Reza Aghaei

Is 'TrendSetter' hat scenario confirmied? 'Change your hat at least once daily for three (UTC) days in a row.'

user65768

@RezaAghaei That's what I did and I got it.

Reza Aghaei

OK, Thanks :)

David

17:36

@RezaAghaei yes, but you have to not check the this site only. and it seams to have to be hats you earned on the site you are changing them.

Reza Aghaei

I check stackoverflow only.

David

and all days have to be from the same site.

Reza Aghaei

OK, thanks :)

user65768

Yeah, confirmed, no skips for They live (at least, assuming skips show up on the review queue)

David

@user65768 they don't you have to click the button on the bottom "show skipped"

user65768

17:39

The clue was 5, only 2 matter, so my guess is you have to have 5 from "Reject and Edit" or "Improve and Edit" (possibly including one of each type).

I don't even see that button, maybe I'm looking at the wrong review queue

Willeke

I am working on a 10 inch laptop and it is not showing the skip option, will try again when I have the bigger computer handy.

user65768

Ah, there we go.

Yeah, my last skip was Dec 4

And also no plain Rejects

David

hmm interesting. well thanks

user65768

Also the last 4 before I got it were (in order starting from most recent), Improve, RejectEdit, Improve, RejectEdit

Did one more Improve 16 hours ago with a few Approves in between it.

David

sigh, I really don't know what triggers the crazy hat.

Willeke

17:51

I have been reviewing my normal (high for the site) amount and not gotten the hat yet.

I just added a skip to the mix, as I did not know what way to vote and the option was within reach.

David

18:35

Michael0x2a has TheyLive and has only done five edits

Andrew Li

18:57

Hi all

Alexander O'Mara

Where does one go for a ☆?

That'll work.

X-27

@AlexanderO'Mara depends on who is in the room at the moment, and if they feel like dishing out stars to anyone who asks :)

David

@AlexanderO'Mara well now that we metafied this room, it'll work.

Andrew Li

Metafied?

David

@AndrewLi you never used meta as a verb?

Andrew Li

19:03

@David Many times. But what do you mean by metafying a chatroom?

So the chat is on meta?

For the hats. I see.

David

@AndrewLi yep (look in the bottom right corner)

Andrew Li

On mobile atm. Colors are different

Alexander O'Mara

Taking a while for the system to give the hat.

Andrew Li

@AlexanderO'Mara Script runs on the :05 IIRC

So 1 more minute

Nobody will answer my code-golf challenge :(

X-27

@AndrewLi on Code Golf, if someone can manage to answer with 1 byte, is that a hole in one?

^^^ lame pun.

Andrew Li

19:06

claps

Alexander O'Mara

@AndrewLi Yep

user65768

Andrew Li

DJMcMayhem

Oh, look, a hole in one while golfing! — QPaysTaxes May 10 at 21:03

Alexander O'Mara

When should we start bounties to award them on the last day?

Andrew Li

A: "Hello, World!"

Stuck, 0 bytes Well, can't get shorter than that... An empty program will output Hello, World! in Stuck.

X-27

@DJMcMayhem Aww! I had literally just copied that link!

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@David how?

what'd you do?

David

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ wow

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

19:23

?

David

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ not 100% sure all my theories fell flat.

last things I did were improve suggested edits.

I still have no idea, about this hat. its crazy.

no way it is as simple as improve edits, everybody would have it.

but I'm 100% sure it does include improving edits.

v́̎̈́̀̽̏̿̏͋

Happy New Year from india

😃

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

happy new year!

wait it's actually new year for you guys lol

it's only 11:30 on the 31st for me

David

some of us

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

what time is it for you?

Andrew Li

19:28

12:30. Soon to be 1:30 when I get back home

X-27

@David then I guess I'm left to review like mad and hope for the best.

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

@AndrewLi are you down near mexico then?

@David did you do anything else then improve edits?

Andrew Li

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ No, that was for vacation. Back in the states in Denver waiting for a connection

Eᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏ Iʀᴋ

oh cool

X-27

YES!!!!!!!

Behold my hideous zombie head!!!!!

David

19:36

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ hold on, I'll check

@David then I guess I'm left to review like mad and hope for the best.

It worked!!!!

Stephen Leppik

Somebody star this

X-27

@StephenLeppik starred.

David

@X-27 you too? nice. congratulations.

X-27

@David yah. I just made another account to sugjest edits. (good ones, of course) and then improved them.

David

19:38

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ that is what I did. before that I skipped a bunch, but that has since been proven to not matter.

X-27

If anyone cares, ^^^

user65768

Might be an unbroken series of improve/rejectand edits?

X-27

@user65768 I was just going to try doing 10 of each type, but I got the hat after doing just a few improves.

it can't be as simple as "improve 5 suggested edits"

user65768

In my case I got the hat after two of each improve/reject-and-edit in a row.

David

well I still dont know what triggers it...

user65768

19:41

Had one improve edit earlier in the day

X-27

who cares!

lol

David

I do!

not good enough to get all the hats, I want to know how to get all the hats (and bonus points if you know before the blog post)

X-27

but this does seem a bit unfair to users who don't have review privileges - are they not able to get the hat?

David

betwen me and @X-27 we have found out 4 of the triggers

X-27

yah, a little bit of ingenuity here and there...

@David and my new pet account!

He was finding lots of posts to edit!

David

19:43

no ingenuity needed, just log out and suggest a boat load of edits.

you made another acc?

X-27

(I actually just searched for posts containing, "noob," "thanks," and "advance")

David

no shortage there

X-27

and then edited out the noobness

- Which by no means is abusing the system - those were good edits!

David

ok, ok back to the hat trigger

X-27

"do lots of stuff on SE"

David

19:45

how many did you do before getting the hat?

X-27

that is a great trigger

5 mins ago, by X-27

David

@X-27 was already looking. but that does not help me much

I'm almost sure it has to be "do X reviews with some super secret trigger, all in the same day"

X-27

yah, that sounds about right

but I still kinda like:

David

I think that was originally my quote.

X-27

ehh, possible...

Q: Is 'Mmmm Bacon' hat in poor taste?

I hold the stack community to very high standards in everything from technical discussions to being acutely aware of cultural sensitivities. As a vegetarian and animal lover I found the 'Bacon' simply too offensive. I'm keen to hear what the other stack<*>ians have to say.

@SouravGhosh You missed the -12 bit. It started 10 hours ago :)

Sourav Ghosh

22:22

@DavidPostill erm... I meant wait for the hat to appear, it appeared, BTW :)

TheSharpieOne

How do you get first responder? Does using mobile chat work?

Willeke

Wait up to ten minutes and tell us

TheSharpieOne

I was chatting 7 hours ago, no hat. Someone said it started 10 hours ago...

Willeke

Maybe they missed that you had not yet gotten it and forgotten to star for you

TheSharpieOne

Oh, I missed the part about getting a star
