Did something specific happen that caused the mods to begin gathering feedback from the community about what acceptable chat behavior is, or was this just a "something we have been hearing a lot about lately" kind of thing?
@Doorknob wait isn't the description the really small text that we currently have a quote from Phi in? how will this fit? or is the description something else?
We all know that the Euler's constant, denoted by e, to the power of some variable x, can be approximated by using the Laurent Series expansion:

A weird note, the first email said "was wondering if you would like to be considered for the position" and then the email reply to my "yes, pls" email was like "I'll be in touch and let you know when we are about to activate your moderator access."
@Doorknob: I wonder if it might also be good/useful to have a bullet point against excessive repetition of memes (or certain phrases, maybe), whether short term or long term?
@wizzwizz4 It doesn't recursively update the links each time. When the May 29th post happened, the May 27th was "yesterday" and so that's what's shown.
@Rainbolt I'm not sure that that method is quite that effective. For one, you kinda only need two people to carry on using a meme (Yeah, I'm looking at you two! [You know who you are.]), and two, some people don't realize and/or don't care that people aren't laughing.
I've been avoiding calling specific people out for the past few weeks on things I found unfunny, just because I don't like being harsh to specific people. If I could express my annoyances privately, I might, but this is public, so...
btw, can some people visit my website so i can see if google analytics is working. my site is as SEO unfriendly as it gets so I'm not getting any traffic from google ;_;
No, there is not too much off-topic chatter
"General discussion" means general discussion. A few off topic tangents or unnecessary messages still fall into that category.
Unless there is outright spamming, nothing needs to be done.
People can always make other chatrooms for a more focused disc...
Should functions be interpreted as primitive literals (as in should they be constructed as a literal class), or should they be interpreted as a primitive (like with classes).
@Rainbolt I followed a recipe the first time, but that was ages ago so I don't know where it is. It's basically the same as making a béchamel sauce, but with a bunch of cheese melted into it.
@Rainbolt Yea, getting the proportions right is the tricky part. It only takes a time or two to get it right, and even if you mess it up, it's still pretty damn good :P
