I looked through Android Hell and I'm still not sure what happened.

I'm goign to blame everyone but myself though.

@Wipqozn For once, that seems fair.

Q: Button that can be placed on a colored block

How can I use the /give @p command to give me a button that can only be placed upon red stained clay in Adventure mode? I am using this command, but it's letting me place it on any block. /give @p minecraft:wooden_button 1 0 {CanPlaceOn:["stained_hardened_clay:14"]}

@AshleyNunn it does drop poutine, but its not a guaranteed drop. you need to fight it more (or put on some +item gear)

@GodEmperorDune oh good, I'd be disappointed otherwise.

Questions that ask for recommendations of games, software, or hardware are off topic. For more information on why these sorts of questions don't work here, see "So, what actually is a Game-Rec?" and "Q&A Is Hard. Let's Go Shopping!". — Texenox 41 secs ago

@Texenox Dude. We have a close queue. You don't need to comment.

Texenox

I... okay.

Frank

If all your comment is is a straight up copy paste from one of the queues, don't.

Texenox

I've deleted it now.

Wipqozn

@Frank I don't see any problem with him commenting, or with his comment.

Frank

19:38

@Wipqozn It's utterly redundant.

Texenox

Only reason I did it was so that the asker understood why it was being closed.

Wipqozn

@Frank How?

Frank

If you're going to make an attempt to help someone, then do it in your own words.

@Wipqozn It's a pure copy paste from the close queue.

Texenox

What would be the point of that when the queue text says it just right and includes two links as to why those questions are off-topic?

Frank

Put something that's, y'know, specific to the user.

@Texenox Because that's what the queue is for.

Nothing wrong with comments, but put some effort into it.

Texenox

19:40

@Frank I don't have access to the queue. That was the best I could do for now.

Wipqozn

@Frank That's good advice, but what you said before isn't. Quite frankly what you said before comes across as just rude.

@Texenox is just trying to be helpful.

Unionhawk

Mhmm

Frank

@Wipqozn It happens when I have to repeat myself.

Unionhawk

Well

Texenox

To be fair, yeah, he had told me about it before. So I guess it was my fault.

Wipqozn

19:41

@Frank Then stop repeating yourself and let the mods handle it. If you think @Texenox is making low quality comments, and you've told him this a few times before, then the mods should handle it from there. Either for them talk with him to be like "yo dawg, step it up", or to decide ti just isn't a problem.

Unionhawk

Prb the second one

Frank

@Wipqozn That's exactly what I'm doing.

Man, you edit, and you still have spelling mistakes.

Unionhawk

YOU'RE A SPELLING MISTAKE

Wipqozn

@Frank I only updated it for clarity.

Q: What does "overpowered" do in Time Clickers?

What does "overpowered" mean in Time Clickers?

Tim Stone

19:43

@Unionhawk Maybe I was supposed to be Time Stone all along! :O

Frank

As a sidenote, I don't think it's fair to shove everything onto the mods.

We should be stepping up, not just going, "Meh. Mod's problems."

user15026

waves her mod arms about

user15026

Okay.

user15026

So.

Unionhawk

As a frontnote, "dude stop" is :|

Wipqozn

19:44

@Frank That's not what I'm suggesting at all

user15026

Here's my 2 cents (okay 5 because we don't have pennies here)

Tim Stone

@AshleyNunn Ooooh are there pastries?

...Oh, it was an attention thing, not a flailing in delight thing

Wipqozn

As users we should help guide others, but if a user continues to be a problem in your eyes then it becomes amod problem.

Tim Stone

DISAPPOINT

user15026

@TimStone Oh, well, someone also left candy on my desk? So why not both.

Frank

19:45

@Wipqozn It's not reaching that point yet. That's what I'm saying.

Tim Stone

That works!

user15026

Here's the thing.

Wipqozn

@Frank If you've gotten to the point that you're "tired of repeating [yourself]" then I'd say it is.

user15026

@Texenox is trying to help. He's leaving comments! That's SUPER GREAT. Yes, they could probably be more tailored to the user, etc etc etc but he's TRYING and that awesome.

Unionhawk

Yes

Frank

19:46

No.

That's literally what the queues are for.

user15026

I'd rather someone try to help a little and leave a comment at least giving the user some direction then going "oh crap I cannot find the perfect words" and getting discouraged.

user15026

@Frank Pretty sure he said he doesn't have access to them, no?

Texenox

@Frank Queues which I do not have access to yet.

user15026

So he is TRYING to HELP in the ways he CAN access.

Frank

@Texenox Which means you leave it to those who do.

user15026

19:46

@Frank Oh for hte love of....

user15026

no

user15026

that just....

Unionhawk

@Frank NO

Frank

That's why rep is a stat.

user15026

saying "don't help jsut because you don't have these magic things" is silly

Unionhawk

19:47

I WILL SAY THIS ONCE

user15026

Why can't he go "this doesn't work here because reasons"

Frank

@AshleyNunn That, I have no issue with.

user15026

Because he obviously KNOWS that the question or whatever doesn't work here because reasons

Frank

It's the pure close reason copypasta.

user15026

And so what if he uses the same info we have somewhere else?

Unionhawk

19:47

A USER WHO HAS THE REPUTATION TO COMMENT AND FLAG CAN AND SHOULD DO THESE THINGS TO HELP EVEN IF THEY CANT REVIEW QUEUE

Frank

If you're going to do it, at least try to guide it towards what's going on.

user15026

At least he is trying to give users something

Frank

19:48

Effort is great. I don't see copypasta as effort.

Wipqozn

The biggest problem @Frank is your approach. You shoudl have started with that.

Although I might have tried to be less blunt.

user15026

Yes, try to make it user specific.

user15026

But the queue comments are canned, and people put those in ALL THE TIME

Texenox

@Frank Which conveniently had all the information required AND two links as to why they don't work, meaning the user is also in the clear.

Frank

@AshleyNunn Because that's what the queues do.

user15026

19:48

and those are NOT SPECIFIC

Texenox

Yes, it's the pure close reason, but it has everything for the user to understand and better use the site in the future.

Wipqozn

but instad of just being "dude, stop doing this", you should just skip to "hey man, this is a way you could imrpove"

user15026

@Frank But why are you punishing him, because he CANNOT LITERALLY DO THAT

Unionhawk

Getting real sick of your nonsense rn not going to lie

user15026

He's trying to help how he can, just going "wait til you can use the queues" makes no sense - if someone has info that can help, why does it matter where the info comes from?

Frank

19:49

@Unionhawk Yeah, we're going to disagree, and I'm going to ignore you now.

user15026

It doesn't make a damn bit of difference if he creates a nice comment thing, puts it in himself, or if I go and press the "make comment" button in the queue due to acting there.

Frank

@AshleyNunn Because that's what the review queues are for. Those decisions are gated, and it bypasses the processes put in place.

user15026

@Frank He's not making a decision!

Texenox

>"I'm going to ignore you now." >echochamber.jpeg

There, I said it.

Unionhawk

No the decisions that are gated are recommend deletion

Frank

19:50

@AshleyNunn It makes it sound like he is!

user15026

It's common knowledge that stuff doesn't work here!

Unionhawk

Comments are gated to 50

Frank

A pure copypasta does exactly that.

user15026

So he is just saying "this doesn't work here, here's some help"

Unionhawk

That is the only requirement to make a comment.

user15026

19:51

@Frank Look the comment doesn't say "this is me voting to close/delete"

Frank

I think we're getting off the main point here.

user15026

He is not indicating any sort of action

Frank

Copypasta isn't effort. If you're going to do that, don't.

user15026

He's just leaving information.

user15026

@Frank Why is copypasta done by the system okay, but him trying to share the same info with the skills he has different?

Texenox

19:52

@Frank So I guess the automatically-generated comments in the Low Quality Posts queue also fall under that umbrella?

Frank

@AshleyNunn Because that's the system. It was put in place for that reason.

user15026

Yes, pro-forma comments can totally be problematic if peopel slap them down without reading.

user15026

Hell, even the comments that are auto-generated aren't helpful all of the time.

Frank

And the review queue includes the link to the pro-forma comments.

@AshleyNunn That, I will 100% agree with.

user15026

But here's teh thing

user15026

19:53

He's read the post

user15026

he knows whats topical

user15026

he's realized "oh hey here is some useful info why don't I share it"

Frank

@AshleyNunn And a comment repeating a close vote reason, whether it's chosen or not, is either useless, or redundant.

user15026

@Frank Okay, now we're on a different problem!

Frank

And if doesn't gather the number of votes required to close, also wrong.

user15026

19:54

@Frank I can VTC and leave a comment and not get the votes to close if people disagree, though

Texenox

Right, how about this for a comment, then?

But... this is just breaking the chest (which the asker does not want), this time also destroying all the items in it immediately. Seems kind of counter-productive. — Texenox 24 secs ago

Frank

But we're still getting off the main point.

user15026

is that wrong?

Unionhawk

What the fuck even is the main point

user15026

@Frank What exactly is the core of your arguement

Texenox

19:55

There. Fully tailored to the answerer, explains what is wrong with their post, and all's well that ends well.

Copypasta isn't effort. If you're going to do that, don't.

user15026

19:56

Okay, yes, try to make things user specific

Unionhawk

@Texenox is trying to help

user15026

But I disagree that it shouldn't count as effort just because it didn't come from some damn queue

user15026

He's trying so hard to learn and to help

user15026

and turning that away would be a stupid move.

user15026

Yes, I'd love if EVERYONE, even QUEUE USERS used individual comments tailored to every post

user15026

19:57

ain't.gonna.happen.

Frank

Nope. We're not really going to agree here. It's just going to go in circles and someone gets tired of it.

So we might as well call it here and save everybody some aggravation.

I don't see blind pro-forma copypasta as useful. You guys do. Okay. I think we can do better.

Unionhawk

Good. Now, let's agree to not be a jerk to users trying to help :)

Frank

@Unionhawk I was blunt. I was not a jerk.

Unionhawk

Semantics

Texenox

For a moment I thought @Frank actually ignored @Unionhawk like he said it was.

I guess instead, I may well be the one being ignored.

Frank
