@Vogel612 is another diamond's presence required, or do you alll have it under control there?
happy to loan my chat-wide moderation diamond to the chat room :P
(done it before xD)
 
@ThomasWard Just Yuck!
 
@Malachi xD We're just having fun xD
granted, chaotic fun, but still :P
 
@ThomasWard I know, I figured putting it in Italics fit the mood... LOL
 
2:06 PM
LOL
 
I just said something in that Election chat... maybe I should have waited a minute or two
 
@Malachi Your statement is simply factual.
I intentionally avoided using one of those names earlier in that chat room.
 
@Malachi well now there's a second diamond involved. I tend to be more forceful with the "Drop the discussion it's not relevant" warnings obviously
but it's meant well :P
(and makes a point of "don't bring this up again here" with the diamond edgedness to it)
 
@brug You need to get your rep up so that you can at least VTC.

I know.
I really really do.
I need to start being active on the main site again.
 
Yes. No matter who wins the election we need you in the review queues as well as answering questions.

@Malachi @Vogel612 Hope you don't mind some... 'gentle'... killing of a topic before it is even discussed in the elections room ;)

@ThomasWard I believe Malachi has a diamond as well, so there are now 3 in the room.
 
@pacmaninbw Kids and school.
 
@pacmaninbw both of them do. But I am technically an 'impartial moderator' as my diamond doesn't come from CR ;)
 
2:26 PM
Ahh.
 
BUT I am a user on CR so i have a vested interest in keeping an eye on the election

and, keeping things civil is a good thing ;)
 
Yes you do and absolutely
 
@ThomasWard "gentle"?
@brug FWIW some people just pick weird hills to die on.

@Vogel612 verbal "Yeah it's not a relevant discussion consider that discussion point 'dead on arrival' in here." about it
 
2:27 PM
@Vogel612 agreed
 
the less-than-obvious way of saying "Don't bring it up in here, it's a brushfire waiting to happen" type notes ;)
 
It is all a bit awkward. I'd also rather not bring it up.

honestly even ;a horrible address, really;@[::1] is a valid email address

I quit coffee a week ago :)
It's been alright so far.

ohhh, so you should be done with the headachy part of withdrawal by now
 
the proverbial Ballmer Peak for me is coffee / caffeine consumption xD
not booze :P
BCC - Blood Caffeine Content.

@Kaz Still drinking breakfast tea?
@ThomasWard Never noticed coffee improving creativity, just waking people up.
 
caffeine and stimulants in people who have ADHD or certain disorders on the autism spectrum have been shown to have positive effects on control and focus.
so :P
been self-medicating with coffee for years
still have insane concentration powers :P
 
Always thought I might be a little autistic, I completely lose track of time when I'm coding.
 
nah that's called 'being in the zone'
everyone gets that way

I'm familiar with Monica. Never heard of Stallman and googling isn't bringing anything up. Could anyone fill me in on what that's about?
in 2021 Code Review Moderator Election, 42 mins ago, by Thomas Ward
As an impartial moderator (as in, I am not a CR moderator, but a moderator on another site in the SE network), and Code Review user myself, I don't think 'pro-Monica' or 'anti-Stallman' are issues that need to be brought up in this moderation election chat room regarding their worthiness for a moderator position.
 
@Kaz rms, or also Richard M. Stallman is one of the initiators of the GNU project
 
@Kaz Try "Richard Matthew Stallman"
 
Kaz
And what's the SE connection?
 
3:01 PM
none of relevance here
 
@Kaz That's the question
 
as i said in the other room
the entire discussion is a polarizing brushfire waiting to happen
so it's best to quash those discussions sooner than later.
you can get the idea by a simple Google. It doesn't really have anything to do with SE in general
 
Some people make the "software ~ software" link
Because trolls
 
it has nothing to do with SE though so :P
 
@Kaz There was a bit of an Epstein PR disaster.
 
3:02 PM
@Mast and that's really just the tip of the iceberg.
 
@ThomasWard Yea, elections attract negativity.
 
@Mast and i didn't even let the discussion brew - quashed before it began xD
 
@ThomasWard I don't disagree, I'm just saying that the link some people make is boiling it down to "software" and saying "that's enough to troll here"
 
and that's why us diamonds exist
quash the trolls early :P

Yeah, the only software you have to worry about there is one of the source control items, can't remember which
TeamCity -- the CI/CD platform
If you aren't using that you're in the clear
 
@pacmaninbw Would that be related to the class action lawsuit earlier this year?
