@Xnero I disagree. I believe the intention is to explicitly get people to game the system - not violating site rules of course
Of course you don't want to post junk questions and answers or creat sock puppets, but otherwise anything is fair game

@JonathanReez Closing and reopening questions instantly to get hats which floods the main page and misuses moderator abilities is clearly abuse.

Feel free to clarify this on the main Meta site though
@Xnero I was checking what the trigger is (that's not the trigger btw)
user435118
That's not an excuse for flooding the main page. And there's no need to check the same trigger twice.
user435118
If this behaviour continues I am sorry but I'll have no choice but to file a complaint to CM's.

@Xnero my bad, forgot it'd push them to the front
I nromally have my default to see new posts, so never see that on my 'front' page

Closing and opening random questions is still abuse of power.

I think abuse is a bit over the top, more of a 'messing around' but anyway, it'll stop
user435118
Considering the gaming of the system conversations in chat, I'd say it's abuse.

Also been answering a few questions, so hopefully others join in on that to get Backlog and Banafuda hats

@Xnero sure, please go ahead - I'd feel better if a CM passes a judgement
Would be good to know for future reference
user435118
@JonathanReez A CM has already passed judgement.

@Xnero that's great. Can you add a link?

@MarkMayo I'm talking about the voting and starring.

.... I'm kinda frustrated at this whole "vote up my posts" stuff.

Just ... don't do it. The point isn't to create voting rings.

Can we stop saying anyone upvote this stuff? like catija said.. please don't do it...

Odd. There's been stuff like this since its inception
one year you had to comment on someone's (specific) post, they all got piled on!

@Xnero I've created a Meta post to clear all doubts: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/358257/…
I think we need a clear guideline on this - either its allowed or its not :)
thank you for raising the subject to our attention

this has long passed the point of being fun. I'm out.

Yeah, I've just got the Coming Up Roses, which I was hoping for on WP, takes me to #1 on the network, but the criticism kills it. Glad Catja has no issues with asking for starred chats. I'd looked forward to this but I'm out now too.

It is nothing new to have a lot of activity on the first days of the bash. I do think it is less this year than other years.
The only difference now is that some people complain and spoil the fun of the event.

I am NOT out, I just try to play such that it does not disturb the site, as usual for me.

@Willeke People need to learn how to have fun following the rules.
user435118
@Willeke I think that your actions didn't disturb the sure, I was more referring to other people with my messages.
user435118
@ZachLipton @MarkMayo You can have fun by following the rules.
