I don't think so? I don't know. I've been playing with a new script so I haven't been paying attention in here much. There were a bunch of meta posts over the last day.
I find the flag overlays to be really useful when reviewing flags but I think that they could use some finessing.
The two main points for improvement I suggest are:
When there are lots of flags on a post and the overlay is at its tallest, it obscures a lot of the page on my laptop screen, rend...
@Catija ... You didn't. One would assume a new script for moderating would be more exciting, or at least I did. I'm sure you're pretty thrilled with the upgrade though.
When I am on a dinner date with a girl, how can I communicate to her that I am annoyed and feel disrespected when she unnecessarily uses her phone to send text messages to her friends?
When this happens, I just sit there quietly and wonder to myself,
" ... wow ... is she that bored on this d...
@Catija sorry to call you every time, but gotta ask. Why was my flag on this comment declined? The answer helped OP, so he accepted it. I guess there is no need of this comment.
A ?month? ago I had a conversation on this chat about when someone asks a question where the answer really should be "you don't". There was a relevant IPS and Roleplaying Games meta post but I can't find them...
is there a way to find very old chat history here? or alternatively does anyone remember such posts?
" ... for an entire wing of the committee, a dysfunctional government, whose only visible activity is mismanaging crises, is not an embarrassment but rather the vindication of one's view ... "
@JesseBarnett By the way, were you looking for them because you're writing a frame challenge? Or were you thinking of adding it to our recent 'what should an answer contain' meta post?
@Mithrandir I very well realise that you're not an IPS mod... I should just have asked whether protecting questions before they're 24 hours old is a networkwide mod privilege or just a site-bound one ;)
Btw, @D.Hutchinson in regard to this... interpersonal.stackexchange.com/q/9557/1599 . How do you find out whether it's friends or work? > To me, it would imply that you already have a conversation going about them being on the phone, so you might just cut in then and there?
@Mithrandir Nice, I'll need another 2,5 k views :/
@Tinkeringbell for instance, one time a girl was a lawyer and said it was necessary to email back her senior partner at the law firm, throughout our dinner. Other girls, I wouldn't know, but it's mostly laughing and texting, so I assume it's not work-related or serious matters ...
and I stay quiet ... and am unable to be "assertive" ...
and, some of the answers seem to recommend not being assertive ...
Currently, this question: How do I pitch a message for a Fraternity Election? is only one reopen vote away from being reopened.
The OP answered all the questions for clarification and edited their question accordingly.

@Mithrandir I'm still thinking about that one... :/ I think with the amount of comments we're getting it might very well ruin the chatroom but on the other hand you won't know before you try...
Right now I'm leaning towards 'maybe try it for 24 hours, if no-one complalins, try for a week while asking for feedback on meta?'
No more re-typing the same comments over and over!
This script adds a little 'auto' link next to all comments boxes. When you click the link, you see a popup with 6 configurable auto-comments (canned responses), which you can easily click to insert.

It's nice if mulitple users use the same comments, it gives some consistency and people won't start complaining that some people are nicer than others, nicer to deal with, if the comment is nice enough :)
@Mithrandir There's worse on their deleted answer.... They look like they're trying to pick a fight with me. I'm just going to stay out of it...
@Mithrandir I agree... They should tell you A. How to get out of it now.... But in my opinion, giving some advice on the side as to how you could have avoided getting into it the first place isn't that bad?
@Mithrandir Which is what I was getting at ;) .... The answer could be improved by also answering the question asked... maybe frame-challenge was a bit of a poor choice of words...
(I did downvote it now, because it's indeed NAA).
I am getting an amazing amount of answers telling me that A. I'm right B. I'm already doing it good C. I can't change other people :/
This latest one for example.... there's already been answers telling me I can't change people, and that I am doing the right thing by telling them up front... interpersonal.stackexchange.com/a/9567/1599 But this one has personal experience, would it be duplicate?

Arwen Undomiel your assertion of my answer is prejudicial. Because you are not adequately informed on this particular matter, you misjudged my answer and wrongly stated that it does not conform to your quality standards. My answer is a scientifically valid, proven, healthy, and constructive method of communication. If you don't recognize that, you are not qualified to judge quality standards on Interpersonal Skills. — Sam Post19 secs ago
@D.Hutchinson wut? 0.o... I wouldn't have survived that long :P Good night!
@Mithrandir Yeah, well, at least now I know they're after me :P
@Mithrandir As for that, there have been several edits, over a few hours... first edit probably put it in the queue, but it really needed more after that... Basically why I put it on meta, it was 'done' now I believed, but the last edits weren't viewed in the review queue ;)
@Mithrandir, we need an autocomment for closed questions with answers that get edited. How's this?
Heads-up: The question has been edited, and might be reopened. Answers might have been affected by the edits, so you might want to review your post and see if you want to change something or if it still stands.
I tried avoiding giving the suggestion that the answer is now necessarily bad, don't know if it worked though?
Seems mostly good. I'd adjust some of the wording a bit, but I think it works as-is
> Heads-up: The original question, which was closed after you answered, has been edited, and might be reopened. You may want to check the updated question and make sure that your answer still applies, even with the added details, or if it needs to be adjusted.
There is no effort for fixing anything anymore, the internet has made it easier then ever to move on. Have some argument with your partner? Fire up tinder and get another one. Have a problem at your job? Time to get another one. Have a problem with a friend? Ghost them, it's so easy and unconfrontational
This trend has been accelerating in recent times too
The internet has made us more connected and by virtue of doing so also more competitive. You're going to be dropped like a hot potato when something better comes along.
@Catija I edited that one, but also stated they should themselves include a quote from the link on what's relevant.... Since I can't read their mind on that?
@Catija Sure, but they were very rude about adding in the quote even before those edits... I edited out quite a bit of rudeness, and the original was meagre, and a 'try this' without the rationale of the method suggested being explained?
@Tinkeringbell If you have the time and there's a link, find something on the link that relates to the answer. Relying only on a link for the explanation isn't the same as a link only answer.
It's one thing to rewrite an answer with no supporting documentation at all and another to utilize under-used documentation that was included by the OP.
