@voretaq7 No, deliberately going and posting things with the intention to incite flagging because of their very nature is indeed not a really good idea.
For once, I wasn't at the heart of something lighthearted and joking turning into people being offended and mods coming here. Is there a badge for that?
@RebeccaChernoff we all do, my fault as much as anyones for being too busy chuckling at the idea to stop and say "yeah, but we shouldn't be that mean to them just because of the flagfests"
The DL380 is a Nexenta head... I modified it for 16 drive bays... so, X5690's and a lot of RAM. 3 x 72GB boot disks, a few HP 400GB MLC SSD's... The D2700 is 25 x 300GB 10k's
So my options were to add 8 SFF disks... or add a D2600 and do LFF disks
Did I miss some context? Looked like one user suggested something jokingly in reference to Gaming's perchant for awful flags, and one other user went through with it. Certainly shouldn't be happening, but the fact that it attracted 5 moderators to this channel (2 SE employees included) seems a bit.. odd?
@RebeccaChernoff Yes indeed - and I'm saying that this is an issue that could have been handled by you alone, without the help of mods from The Great Outdoors beta and User Experience. (no offense guys)
@TylerShads Actually us 10ks don't get every flag; they're randomly doled out among us or something. But what I'm trying to say is that the moderation structure makes less and less sense as the SE network expands.
@ewwhite plus we have what's known as a portfolio, a few products that we only buy from, they drop their trousers on the prices of that kit and then rape us on 'off list' kit
Guys, all the blues are here, because we're the best looking group of chatters on the network. Stop jumping to ridiculous conclusions and let's look at the obvious.
@RebeccaChernoff @GraceNote Right - the structure of presenting every flag to every moderator seems to turn every incident into a moderator pile-on. At least from my perspective (having missed the last one a few months back, and not watching chat until blue names started filling the roster this time around).
(Sorry, I got distracted by the 1.2 Minecraft update).
As the instigator, it's more the point that any flag can be auctioned by in-chat users that don't necessarily know the room culture - and the fact the The Bridge will, and does, flag anything even minorly offensive.
@Chopper3 Sometimes I think it's really great that you're in here. And other times when you post that and say (standard ESXi box) right after, I want to punch you in the kneecap.
@ShaneMadden I don't think mods popping in is good or bad in and of itself -- and in defense of everyone who popped in I was gonna start growling and insisting we return to our angry swiss diplomacy until the chat flagging system can be made not-sucky
Yep, definitely are not going to use Kayako. Told them to eff off, they can't even support their own sottware, and to have a fantastic day failing at supporting a help desk software.
@Ethabelle If you want remote support stuff that works well, get bomgar and then shop for a ticketing system that has integration with it. There are plenty of big names (and little names too)
@LucasKauffman well with @Chopper3's suggestion I figure we'll need supplies. I'm looking for a shipping container sized thing of condoms but amazon doesn't seem to sell those in that kind of bulk
Something which, admittedly, your demonstration actually helped reinforce acknowledging the double standard, given how no one even batted an eyelash at Adrian's statement until I said something out loud about it.
Guys, I think we're approaching this whole "Bridge flag thing" the wrong way. First, we declined everything from there on principle. Then, one of our peeps went in there and posted something offensive just because. Neither are really solving the problem. I say that we always accept any flag from there. After about 8 minutes, there should only be one person left in the room.
This doesn't make the act of posting summat with the sole purpose of getting it flagged is acceptable, because that's deliberately creating material that people are explicitly noting they do not want.
I mentioned it in The Bridge (the Gaming chat room), because they actually have the second highest curse instance of the entire chat network, second only to this very room.
But the fact is, on Gaming, people don't bat as much of an eye if anyone other than GnomeSlice curses. So I actually pointed out Adrian's comment because I was focusing on that. It was only until someone told me that it was because someone in SF dared him to do it that I came in here.
@Chopper3 I just did searches for the number of instances of the F-word, and grouped it by room. You guys account for a ton, while Gaming accounts for more than everywhere else than here and the Bridge combined.
@GraceNote they also memestorm as much as we do but it's only gnomeslice and one other guy whose name I can't recall who seem to get flagged to oblivion for it
