@EBrown you completely misunderstood ... it's not about hurting OP, it's about using the right tool for the job..
 
A VTD is the right tool.
 
it's also about avoiding redundancy
NOT FOR OFFENSIVE ANSWERS
it's explicitly stated in the VTD privilege that you should use flags for offensive content
 
@EBrown Offensive answers == Offensive flag.
tha'ts just SE-wide not just one site
 
@Vogel612 YES, you should, but that doesn't except you from VTD'ing as well.
 
if it's one person who happens to just say "f***" once... :P
 
6:02 PM
That's like saying "Don't down vote because we already close-voted".
 
@EBrown VTD is implied in the Offensive flag
if the flag is valid the post goes away by community nuke.
or mod nuke.
 
I give up.
Do what you want.
 
sorry i just handled a flurry of these last night on a site :p
 
@EBrown that was obvious from the start ... ;)
 
oh yay my ide is busted.
@EBrown maybe i'll review your code over spring break
 
6:03 PM
the point is VTD is incorrect because redundant

for now i'mma enjoy my coffee
 
@Vogel612 That's what we need, ad-hominem.
 
woot woot.
 
@EBrown color me confused...
 
@DanPantry Is it when the nerf gun is powerful enough to be a potato cannon?
 
6:04 PM
Btw VTD is a privilige that is quite high in term of requirement, so flagging is quite important (I'm not prononuncing myself on if we need to VTD or flagging). There is a lot more people who can flag than VTD (on answer)
 
Let's not get worked up about a rant from a 1-rep unregistered user who hasn't even logged in since the post.
 
Also, if a post gets deleted before a threshold of Ofensive or Spam flags happen, then the control StackExchange tools don't always trigger
It's not a huge deal, but if you flag it as spam or offensive, then don't also vote to delete it.
 
On another note, I eat a poutine with pepper sauce and filet mignon beef! I know you're all jealous :)
 
@rolfl If I flag as spam/offensive I'm going to vote-to-delete, because flagging the question doesn't make it known to anyone except the four mods we have, and they're not always around.
If I VTD it, then it gets sent to a queue somewhere that other users might see and have a chance to act on.
And I really don't care whether the SE controls will affect it or not, because it's irrelevant at this point.
 
I believe flagging spam/offensive also puts it in the low-uality queue.... let me check.
 
6:08 PM
@rolfl I doubt that
 
Let's focus our wrath on code-dump questions. Like this one:

Q: Is there anyway I could clean up this long nodejs function?

NoobSterexports.existingCheck = function (req, res, next) { function check() { var query = [], message = [], userObj = {}, i, body = req.body; if (body.displayName) { var regex = new RegExp(["^", body.displayName, "$"].join(""), "i")...

@Mast ^^
 
The user's not going to return, and if they do and they do it again, then if we VTD and/or flag it away, then they get even harsher penalties regardless.
 
@EBrown actually the SE controls learn from stuff that gets thrown here
@EBrown not quite, no... also I don't understand what point you're trying to make ...

A: What are the review queues, and how do they work?

ManishearthWhat is a "review queue"? Review queues (also known as review tasks) contain posts that possibly need community attention, as determined by the system or other community users. You are shown these posts, one at a time, and you "review" them. Like flagging, there are badges for this. So, what co...

 
if he returns he'll know that he cannot write whatever ha likes, if his answer gets censored he's most likely to do it again hoping someone will edit it for him anyway
 
@Vogel612 I give up. It's obvious that we don't see eye-to-eye when it comes to these things. I don't even think we're looking at the same ballpark right now, so there's no point in continuing.
 
@rolfl that's NAA and VLQ, but not rude / spam
 
@EBrown Football vs. Soccer?
Quill... that's who you are .... finally.
 
It's hard to say, because you posted only CSS and not working example. Also, for such questions, i.e. when you have some working code, but need to improve it, you coluld try codereview.stackexchange.com. — john c. j. 47 secs ago

@rolfl Huh?
 
5 hours ago, by Peilonrayz
@rolfl As an ex-mod, should we just remove "Can someone explain me the algorithm behind my implementation compared with CXF's implementation?" or should we suggest them to remove it, so their question no longer has the request to explain their code (Another off-topic reason).
Peilonrayz <= Quill
 
@rolfl No
Quill was here a few days ago.
 
@rolfl Huh? I'm Joe
 
Quill is still Quill ...
 
Joe, oh... I am trying to track down name changes in the past years ;-)
Right.... OK, my headspace is unwarped now, thanks.
 
6:24 PM
Ah, Joe Wallis => Peilonrayz, :) I didn't come on chat much a year ago, ;P
 
runs @rolfl's headspace through a call to random
 
It's just a thing that not many people I don't know, know that I was a mod here a couple of years ago... so I had to dig.
And there's not many >10K users on CR that i have not interacted with....
The only way to hunt these things down, as a non-mod, is to find old comments that have references to the wrong username...
 
hum ... couple of years ago?? ... wow ...
@rolfl one option. the other would be to check the message history in chat...
 
Ahh, good option too
 
6:27 PM
@rolfl I have a list of a lot of the old -> new user name maps.

@rolfl Updated with the latest data ^^
 
what's this list again?
 
It's only users from Chat, and the Names is JSON, so you can probably parse it easy enough.
 
6:32 PM
and why am I on it
 
Are there also people who have not changed their name? :P
 
@ThomasWard Chat users who changed their names.
@skiwi Lots of them, but he's interested in those who have changed it.
I have 1077 users logged in our chatroom in it's entire history, not including feeds.
 
Is that all? odd.
 
I see :)
 
how do I have a lower user ID than most of them lol

The TimesSaidLol is all messages containing lol in them as either the first word, a middle word, or the last word, or the only word.
 
Oh the first one was starring lol?
 
And @Mat'sMug is still on top.
@skiwi No, it was the times the message was only lol.
No whitespace, no anything else.
 
Oh.. I see
 
6:41 PM
Just the term lol.

I also have a TimesWasIdiot query.

First, I'd move the session logic out of the view, as it's not really view logic, but more controller logic. If you're trying to avoid having the code in each function that uses the view, abstract it into a function or constructor and call it when needed. If you need more clarification, take it to softwareengineering.stackexchange.com or codereview.stackexchange.com. The fact you're doing it in the view may be related to the issue as that's pretty unusual. — Goose 59 secs ago

Q: IRC Client with TLS and SASL support
