@quid: In case you haven't been following the election chat-room, one user brought up a comment on the main site:

@sai-kartik It's fine if you don't want to answer certain questions, but dictating what other can and cannot answer is silly. — Notsredt yesterday

The conversation starts here.

@user21820 I had not see that.

The junk that we get to close everyday is really odd:

Q: What websites mathematics experts answer math questions?

What websites experts answers mayj questions?

I love your your comment/answer, @user21820! =)

math.stackexchange.com/questions/3764004/…

user21820

Oops, you deleted before quoting. =P

It was just for fun, but I actually went to check that the website does not exist, just in case it went to some bad website!

The close queue is depressing. :\

Every once in a while, I see a question and think "Oh, that one isn't so bad? Why is it on the chopping block?"

I click "Leave Open".

IT'S AN AUDIT!

Ha ha! :P

:'(

amWhy

@XanderHenderson I know. Same thing I encounter!!

By far, the worst audits are the suggested edits audits: One has to be in zombie mode to fail an audit there! I would love for the algorithm selecting audit posts would include trivial edits that users should reject.

Xander Henderson

@amWhy indeed

amWhy

...And, edits which significantly improve a post (without altering the asker's work or lack thereof) which users should approve. I see bad rejects and bad approves every day in the suggested edit queu.

user21820

@XanderHenderson LOL that really made me laugh.

Xander Henderson

@amWhy Yeah, that queue is, by far, the most depressing.

amWhy

16:23

@XanderHenderson Indeed. BTW, Thanks for running!!

But oops, I answered my own question... =(

@user21820 There aren't many, so I made some up!!

@user21820 I agree, my question wasn't "well-defined"!

Here's one, @user21820 amWhyDay!!

user21820

Well, there is PLAY-DAY that is quite close.

But yea, coming to play-day soon.

amWhy

@user21820 Indeed, and part of FRIDAY should be a PLAYDAY (after work, of course!)

user21820

18:23

Yup. Alright I'm off! See you!

@Arjun Fall asleep to words that rhyme with night, but put your smart phone away, first! :P Then you can come back tomorrow and whip us all with all your insights!

@quid I hope all is well with you.

Arjun

18:40

@amWhy ,something tells me i should take your words very seriously and so i'm off for words ryhming with night

good advice tho ;)

gn

amWhy

@Arjun sleep TIGHT! :-) Good NIGHT! google.com/…

quid

@amWhy yes more or less. :-)

amWhy

I should warn you that above, in respect to words that rhyme with SAKE, I created a new word: QUIDFLAKE, all in jest ;D

quid

@amWhy well, there might be some quid somewhere that is flake.

amWhy

@quid True, I never said it was you!

quid

18:45

@amWhy indeed.

QUIDCAKE

amWhy

@quid when quid BAKES a CAKE? Oh I missed PANCAKE above!

user434058

For eating a QUIDCAKE, you first need to QUIDBAKE it :P

amWhy

@quid And anyone trying to impersonate you would be a QUIDFAKE!

quid

@FakeMod it's best served with quippedcream.

user434058

@amWhy Whoa! You just... Well, I know someone was gonna say it before me.

amWhy

18:49

@FakeMod You were spot on!

@quid Hah!

user434058

@quid Man. This is really hard. I am not QUIDDING.

user434058

@amWhy ::thanquidding::

amWhy

@quid What's your preferred QUIDSTEAK? (cut, mode of preparation, etc.) Unless you prefer to have a QUIDSTAKE handy for any vampire that might accost you!

quid

@amWhy quids are not edible. Be are bitter and sour.

Sometimes even toxic.

amWhy

@quid I can only imagine! ;D

@quid Tell me about it! I've tasted your poison! ;D

quid

18:54

@amWhy yes you can only imagine because in your experience quids are very sweet. ;D

amWhy

@quid Hah! Actually, I know a quid who is a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde!! Of course, I only speak of one of the quids that I know! ;D

Xander Henderson

19:07

If one needs British money to pay for a quidcake, is that quidquid?

2

Or are quidquid only used for bribing moderators on Math SE?

amWhy

@XanderHenderson Oh no, how'd you figure that one out! ;D

Xander Henderson

If I do something for quid in exchange for something of equal value, is that quid pro quid?

amWhy

@XanderHenderson Hah! Methinks you're onto something! ;D

@XanderHenderson No, only if @quid does something of equal value to another action of his, is it a quid pro quid.

Xander Henderson

Ah, okay.

By the way, I think that this is one of my new favorite comments on Math SE:

@Brian: Even for an understatement, "a bit eccentric" is an understatement. It's such an understatement that if $n$ is the largest number NJ Wildberger believes to exist, one can still chain $n+1$ times "understatement" and it would still not be enough to describe him. — Asaf Karagila ♦ 22 mins ago

amWhy

23:35

Let us know, @quid, whether you'll be back for a bit, before sleeping. No worries either way.

quid

@amWhy I just pass through...

amWhy

@quid Have you eaten? If not, eat. Get to sleep at a decent hour so you can enjoy tomorrow! Friday! Oops this is your tomorrow, Friday.

quid

@amWhy yes a bit, but sufficient.

amWhy

@quid Well eat a little bit more, before sleeping, even if just a snack. I know I've had times where I've awakened early just due to hunger (when I haven't eaten enough during the day).

quid

23:51

@amWhy yes I shall do that.

amWhy

But here I am, acting like a mother! I trust you @quid, to take care of yourself, though at times we all need a nudge in that direction.

quid

@amWhy maybe I'll start to call you momWhy. :-)

amWhy

@quid One final thought about your beliefs about review queues, and for the most part, who should have the opportunities to participate in them, do you think it would merit a meta post, if I were to post my concerns about this?

@quid :P ;D

@amWhy @quid I don't mean posting on meta your own thoughts; you could do that in an answer.
