The Awkward Silence

while I've had some time, I've been creating some tag wikis. I hope people don't mind. They are not set in stone and can be edited. I just thought it gives us a head start on things. I've kept them pretty simple @RobertCartaino @Crafter0800 @John hope you don't mind

I've pinged the users who have wiki edit approving privileges

That's possibly why I saw many pending edits on tag wikis when I went to edit them.

yeh they need to be approved.

@AJ I'll give them a long rest then and allow others to do them

@YvetteColomb Ahh.. that's okay. It is not a big deal.

@YvetteColomb You've got a horse?

Nice.

John

@YvetteColomb I definitely do not mind.

@YvetteColomb I have yet to object to one of them. But I see a long queue, so let me get to it.

Yvette Colomb

@AJ I have 3 horses, 3 cats and one dog :)

@John thanks for the feedback

A J

@YvetteColomb Great.

Yvette Colomb

A J

What's the ages of horses?

I'm just one point away from getting edit privileges.

Yvette Colomb

@YvetteColomb maybe you carry some lizard genes and I just don't ;)

Yvette Colomb

@Ghanima it's true! I really on the sun to warm me lol

I see the same message posted twice.

Why is it awkward?

A J

All rooms appear to be silent today.

@SQB It's just a play on the name of the room. ;)

SQB

@anonymous2 Hello there!

Q: What makes this question too broad?

How to help a friend that is suddenly socially withdrawn? First, this is not about dealing with suicidal people. Socially withdrawal might be a symptom of depression, but not all social withdrawal is caused by depression. Dealing with people suffering with either one is already considered off to...

@YvetteColomb But the thing is the Introverted Meta man has never came in the room and never will. ;)

I mean I don't see an account in the list that says Introverted Meta Man.

Ok it has posted in this room but it doesn't really come in the room. (Unless if it's just drops in post and then leaves very fast.)

@YvetteColomb I found your disability question really useful. It raised an issue of the opposite sort, whichI don't know how to put into a question. I have often come across cearly marked tradesmen's vans in the one or two spaces (on private car parks) by convenience stores or service stations. In some cases, 2 or 3 builders, plumbers, or roofers run into the shop. Clearly most of these individuals by nature of their jobs are not disabled. How do we address this?

Yvette Colomb

2:14 PM

@HDE226868 I need to ask a question on how to cope with your meh LOLOL

@HenryWHHackv2.0 we seriously need to flag his account :D

@HenryWHHackv2.0 like a true introvert

@rm well that's a whole new question

I deliberately put detail into the question, as we've had problems with questions being too broad

Guys, we need work

Q: Activities are gradually reducing. Is this bad for the site?

I joined this site as 19th member and started asking questions and answering at the first day itself. It is almost 10'o clock in the night when I get the notification of private beta and still I involved till 2'o clock in the night in order to make a good base to the site or in order to increase ...

Meta Man will be appearing soon.

@SagarV Yeah I have seen that before.

Like when a site starts out there is a lot of questions and activity and then it drops.

It's normal.

I think.

Sagar V

2:32 PM

and if it continued, this site will fail @HenryWHHackv2.0

Henry WH Hack v2.0

The drop in questions per day part I have seen that many times really.

Sagar V

It reduced from 45 to 16

I think when we started, people had a bunch of ideas for questions. Due to volume, a lot of those questions were low-quality or in a space where scope was unclear. Those questions helped spark thinking and discussion about what made good questions, making people more discerning about what to ask. I think the drop is entirely due to a healthy combination of "I asked my question already" and "I want to make sure to ask a good question."

Q: Activities are gradually reducing. Is this bad for the site?

Day by day, the activity of the site is reducing. The number of visitors, the questions per day and everything is reduced. Will it be a bad for the site?

Q: Hygiene tag proposal?

There is a personal-hygiene tag, for yourself, but I recently asked a question about other people and there was no hygiene tag. Could we possibly get a hygiene tag?
