I'll be gone for the day soon, would appreciate if somebody could check if the GD admins are responding to my question from earlier today at some point
@M.A.R. I somehow end up opening the link in a separate tab and pasting something else rather than copy/pasting the permalink (control-click and command-click have different behaviors in different browsers on the Mac)
For a project I'm working on, it'd be nice to be able to retract flags through the API.
We allow people to retract flags from the web. Could this functionality be extended to the API? It could work such that you receive a 'Retract Flags' option on calls to /questions/{id}/flags/options, then pas...
Can we leave an automatic comment on wrongly flagged posts explaining where the surge of downvotes comes from? (Extra points for instantly flagging this comment as obsolete.)
@ArtOfCode Is it instead possible to do something like get Smokey to ping them here if the flag should be retracted? Although I guess not everyone who flags is in this room anyway...
@Magisch Your neighbor might have problems anti-diarrhea pills aren't gonna solve. This might be a good time to take advantage of that nationalized healthcare thing.
'Almost exclusively swear' or something though... Sometimes you can edit it out but if that's all that is there, I'd be interested to know why it doesn't get autoflagged...
@Andy technically, none of the jokes here are constructive. I mean, even my female colleagues were laughing about that one. I understand the standard on Charcoal is a bit higher than other chatrooms, and I'm fine with the message being removed, but I don't understand why I needed to be kicked.
What would've happened if I had said instead "Smokey doesn't think about s*x every 7 seconds, so she must be female"? I'm just exaggerating stereotypes a bit.
@Glorfindel I agree that political correctness has gone too far, but at some point there's a desire not to be in the middle of a giant meta kerfluffle about something that really doesn't matter.
@M.A.R. one of the userscripts for this room, to block images from 1-rep users. It's been pretty much discontinued now, but if the need to use it arises again I'll turn it off on main and integrate it with FIRE instead.

Bah. Forgot that I have no hard-wired Ethernet in London, and left the power cable for my AirPort in Portsmouth. Looks like I'm working off a laptop for the next month...
