strange that the top two cv-plz stars have still not been closed

that seems worrying

cv-pls opinion programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/293762/…

@Ixrec none of them have been closed :-/

they're all at 3 or 4 CVs

is it possible we simply don't have 5 CVers in here?

@Ixrec They should be in the queue too

@Ixrec I'd ask you to check the history but you don't quite have 10k yet

isn't the point of a specialized chat room like this to get things closed faster than relying on the queue?

yeah, hopefully people start asking halfway decent questions again so I can finally get the last 700 fake internet points

@Ixrec The point of this, for me, is that I can spend my votes effectively, every day when I'm out of reviews when I don't have access to the 10k tools

Heh, my MSE rep passed my programmers rep today

Maybe I should start answering questions here myself

I guess that's fair, I don't even get around to reviewing much anymore

@Ixrec We really need 5 people committed to doing the queue every day

Well, every weekday at least.

weekdays are when I'm least likely to do it!

stupid programming job

@Ixrec Oh, I thought you were mostly on while at work

nope, I almost never check here while I'm at work

I'm too busy doing my job

well not "almost never", but usually only a few times a day for a few seconds when someone mentions me and it appears as a notification on my phone

btw, is programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/293776/… a primarily opinion-based question, or do things like COCOMO actually specify this stuff?

"Don't just downvote, it won't help me nor you, post a comment if it's a duplicate or why it should be moved/removed. Thanks" <-- why do people only make these statements in questions that clearly deserve down votes and close votes...

@Ixrec I don't know.

book recommendation for roomba: programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/291266/…

@gnat I have like 12 CVs left and I have to go very soon

argh, we still have a books tag

@durron597 carpet bomb that tag?

@Ixrec Usually I've been carpet bombing naming every day

books has 19 open questions.

@Ixrec my understanding is, it's cleanup is planned per STCI but not yet has started. It will likely be eventually blacklisted

@gnat STCI is over. Now that I'm not running it anymore, no one is :-/

I tried to talk to Thomas about it but he didn't really seem interested

I think everyone lost interest in STCI

you can only do it for so long before it gets tedious using up those votes every single day

@durron597 not quite, I think people are planning stuff. And I think I saw ratchet doing a lot in STCI tags, and other folks

...and there's sort of additional pause for 10K folks to run delete votes on smaller closed tags, this takes time

I feel like I'd have kept with it longer if I had infinity CVs so I could just power through a whole tag on one day then take a break for a while

burninate: programmers.stackexchange.com/q/293789/52929

There's only so much one person can do, you can do it better when you have at least 5 people to actually get stuff closed.

@durron597 I see. I tracked the effort and it looked like most of the stuff was getting closed (if there were 2-3 users pushing stuff into close queue at full rate, it would possibly be harder for others to keep up). I plan to re-check what's there after next Friday, possibly I will start pushing things into queue, if no one else to catches before that

@gnat Someone needs to go through every single tag and see what's left

The other problem is that we got to a point where what we really needed was editing, and few seemed to want to do that.

And THAT really sucks to do by oneself.

@durron597 that's exactly my plan. and I am not afraid of editing. :) I wanted a sort of pause to let all questions that were voted to get to close, per my observations this sometimes takes almost a week

Should this one be closed?

cv-pls crappy stackoverflow question Symfony2 Dynamically add form fields and persist in DB

@durron597 it's a "define the spiral process model" question if I read it right

> in Simple terms, what is the Spiral Model ?

Man the starboard is still totally open.

cv-pls unclear Spiral Process Model

@durron597 at that one, I rather "skip". I read and reread it and can't make up my mind. It does feel slippery but not enough to trigger me. I vote only when I can clearly can explain to myself why I vote

@gnat If you read it and reread it and you still can't figure out what it's asking, it's unclear ;)

Ther'es also no question, it's "explain to me this wiki article"

@enderland That's unclear.

No question = unclear. If you want to comment "what is your question?" = unclear.

Yah, I already CV'ed that way :)

oh, I actually ran out of votes

that hasn't happened in a while

cv-pls opinion How do front-end developers test pages when the files they are handed are PHP views?

@durron597 I did too broad, but same diff

cv-pls too specific legal Can I change a theme and then sell it?

@durron597 sounds familiar. :) I tried that before, somehow didn't work very well to me (eg questions in areas way out of my knowledge), so I dropped that

also regarding open starred ones I have very few in my list due to my current computer monitor only showing 5 starred messages :)

Ugh I still have like 10 cvs left

Just a note, the CV Request Generator (pinned on the starboard) has been updated with some new features, but hasn't been tested yet. If anyone would like to try the new version and let me know if there are any bugs, that would be great.

A little bit of a wait on the new user/time stamp feature. You can re-enable it by uncommenting the appropriate lines, but until Zephyr is modified to recognize the timestamp the feature will be disabled in the production version.

Disregard the last message. Zephyr doesn't pick up the request anyway. I'm working on updating Zephyr's regex to accept these requests if anyone has regex experience and wants to help.
