11:00 AM

I was about to write some stuff myself but imma let you finish first :p

11:17 AM

They've changed quite a bit of their post since I answered, should I delete my post or do you guys think it still has some relevance?

Hakase

you could edit it to suit the real question more, but I don't think it's invalid as it is

Matt

If you and Jnat are writing answers I know from your previous meta posts you'll do it justice

I'll just pretend I didn't notice the edit

JNat

@Matt You can just leave it

woo, posted

@Hakase +1'd

11:29 AM

I also upvoted the question itself because it's gonna be useful

basically "this isn't what SE is about"

JNat

What I'm writing will mostly address the OPs comment on your answer, @Hakase, so you can not answer it, if you want to ;)

Dragon

sorry my english is bad, but could someone please explain this to me "so they're frustrated that we consider most others wouldn't."

JNat

@Dragon I was saying you were frustrated about the fact that we made a decision based on the fact that most of the users who ask id-reqs wouldn't go through the trouble you probably would, and actually pay attention to our suggestions

I'm still writing an answer to your question, in the meantime

Dragon

11:52 AM

@JNat i'm not frustrated at all and i understand why the workers have decided to do this but i just think that there is a better way to do this

JNat

@Dragon What do you mean by "the workers?"

Ayase Eri

I think he meant SE staffs

Hakase

Everybody can hide any tag, and then the site would get swamped by bad posts which nobody improves because there aren't enough people who want to see or edit them. This would dramatically reduce the site's overall quality, putting it's existence at risk, because StackExchange moderators regularly review the sites and can decide to remove them completely in case the community can't keep up the level of quality. This hasn't happened yet, because we, as the current community, decided to prevent this from happening by banning ID requests. — Hakase 38 secs ago

Dragon

@JNat if i offend you you in anyway i apologize for i don't know much about how the site worked internally i just meant the staff and the people who makes the important decisions

Hakase

I think this is only the case with beta sites but I wonder if graduated sites can get closed for being swamped with crap

I bet the bid mods would intervene first, removing the cause of swamping

JNat

11:55 AM

@Dragon No offense taken, at all :) I just think you might be confused: the community decided this, not the staff (nor the mods, single-handedly, either)

Hakase

if the community from the beginning consisted mainly of people who liked ID requests, I think they would not decide to ban them, but I can see how SE would decide to annex the site away because it would not work according to the main rule "be useful to many"

@Dragon StackExchange staff didn't make this decision, it was us, the users

JNat

My answer is almost ready, and it should be clearer then (hopefully)

Hakase

it's gonna be a canonical one

take your time

Memor-X

@Taisho Lady Blanc's Bun's, cute!

Ayase Eri

@Memor-X I'd argue that Ram's smile is cuter.

Matt

12:16 PM

tbh I didn't mind them that much, I felt we could keep on top of the bad ones so only the good requests made it through

They were a hassle though

Memor-X

@AyaseEri true but they are Lady Blanc's sisters

Dragon

@JNat i'll respond tomorrow, it's getting late and i have school

Hakase

@Matt problem is they were too much for the few of our active users to keep up with

the experiment has lasted about 3 years and I think that's enough time to determine whether we can or can't keep up (we couldn't, obviously)

Matt

Was my inactivity just too much to handle? ;)

Hakase

a few active people left even

Matt

12:21 PM

Nah, I know what you mean, it did take a while to clean things up

Dragon

quick question if i was to post the meta question during the decision, would it have made any difference?

Hakase

very unlikely

the majority has voted against, you would be in the minority

Dragon

thought so

Hakase

the recommendation now is to use our guide posts on how to help yourself or of you want the help of others, go to some other site

Q: How do I find an anime or manga only from memory?

If you want to find an anime or manga on your own and you remember something about it, this post is for you! If you have a picture, but you don't remember anything, see how to reverse-search images instead.

discussion

Matt

Idk, back when the mod elections were running it was kinda 50/50, maybe even leaning to keep

Hakase

12:26 PM

it changed tho

over time it gradually went against

Matt

I suppose that was inevitable with no real solution

Hakase

the real solution was to ban them

because they're not part of our main purpose

which is to help many

they were only helping OP

Matt

Mm

Hakase

remember the "too localized" and "too broad" close reasons

Matt

Do we still have too localised?

Hakase

12:28 PM

the logic behind both is "not helpful to many"

That or just dump some new ones in

Ayase Eri

I'll add more images to Taisho. Been collecting them. Will post them by this weekend.

Hakase

the #tags and #what responses are included so it's not 70 images per week, more like 40-50

Matt

I thought it'd be more than that, has chat been quiet lately?

Or am I just overestimating

Hakase

Hakase

Q: Why is shonen manga's goriness these days abundant?

So I just read The Promised Neverland and the goriness is kinda jarring for me (and it's in Weekly Shonen Jump). It's a not alone there, actually. HxH has its own share of goriness. Shingeki no Kyojin is also formally a shonen title even though I personally treat it as a seinen. And there are oth...

Either that, or they read super fast

Hakase

it's big and looks thought out so it's probably good

right, Matt? :D

JNat

I'd rather people read it, but oh well

Matt

@JNat That was me :L

I read it after though, it's a good answer

It was just to save scrolling up later, I had confidence you'd do a good job and I wasn't wrong

@Hakase Of course!

More words = more better

Hakase

1:29 PM

a very cool answer

I'm pretty happy that the reasons are about the same as I listed

means I'm not delusional or have a wrong idea about the site

@JNat I gotta ask did you write the whole answer from top to bottom or did you write separate sections without the whole plan in mind the entire time?

I like well-written canonical answers, especially this one

arda

@Tyhja I have the same one in english, but it doesn't have @ToshinouKyouko at top unfortunately :(

Hakase

Logan has posted long-ass articles which I can't say I like to read because he uses some writing techniques that somehow make it hard for me to keep reading and understanding what he talks about

idk if it's because of his academia experience of rhetoric skills but it's just not for me

I like writing short posts myself because I like reading short summaries the most (the shortest most upvoted posts is what I look for everywhere)

Taisho

Long posts have to be well written to keep people engaged

Matt

I generally try to keep things relatively short, I think the only time I really went all out was my "How does magic work" Q+A

not always the case

but only once
