Someone please tell me the latest answer to that die2nite Hero question is junk so I can justifiably demolish it.
 
Well I flagged it as Not Welcome In Our Community
so I guess go ahead or something
I mean I thought it was a pretty good answer but sometimes the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
 
Are you being sarcastic right now?
 
Yeah.
Please demolish it and also destroy the mind of whoever posted that drivel, although I fear it may already be too late for that.
Is there any way you can remove the edit from the front page @Grace?
 
No, but I can burn the user's displayname to a default
 
Oh okay
By the way, you have access to site activity graphs and stuff like that, right @Grace?
 
12:14 AM
Privately, yes.
 
I see.
 
So we just wait for @badp to slip up.
 
The only reason I ask is because my memory's a bit vague, but I feel like our daily views haven't been increasing, but rather decreasing for the past month or two.

Q: How to run Civilization V with a good performance?

Jader DiasI have a pretty decent hardware and I run many games on it. But Civ 5 is unacceptably slow when it reaches an advanced stage where it shows the whole map and there are many units. I tried to monitor the CPU and memory and I couldn't find the bottleneck. I run it in a fast SSD and I didn't monito...

Elephant Quest is out! http://armor.ag/elephant-quest
^ Whoa, the first 10 seconds of play have intrigued me.
 
@GraceNote Oh, yeah, I saw you edited it before.
 
@Gnomes it's by jmtb02, which is synonymous with pretty good flash game
 
@ArdaXi ...eh?
 
@Mana Isn't he the one making all those meta-games?
 
@Mana Why do you think I even bothered to open the link?
 
12:45 AM
@GraceNote You edited a questions by Prashant which was migrated to meta.
 
@Mana Wow, that was quite the edit. I approve of it. Yikes. Good call there.
 
Wait what? De Blob flash game??
 
@ArdaXi Prashant doesn't even have a Meta account. I'm confused.

@Grace Understandably.

@Gnomes no problem
 
I just adjusted my difficulty setting up in this game and it went from "4 easy floors" to "4 relatively easy floors".
 
1:10 AM
It's coming out for Wii, xBox 360, and PS3.
.....Tough call.
I have a poster of this excellent image on my wall: Hyper 8 Bit Memories http://bit.ly/hxN6Ac
 
1:24 AM
I'd hate to not buy de blob 2 for the Wii, but if getting it for the Xbox 360 means that I can do away with the annoying shake-to-jump control scheme, then I'm down.

Oh, hell yes. They removed that annoying factor from de blob 2.

Posted by Jeff Atwood on February 22nd, 2011

On Podcast #58, Joel and I had a disagreement. Not the first, and certainly won’t be the last:

Joel says that the only bad simple question is a duplicate simple question. I say simple questions are OK as long as they’re actually interesting (in some way) for other users to consider and answer. To prove his point, Joel actually asks the question on Stack Overflow: How do I move the turtle in LOGO? Do you think this question adds value?

We still have this disagreement. Our community is now struggling with this issue across multiple network sites: …

A: Is it possible to "try out" guns in COD Black Ops?

kr0wdzYou can go on Local (after the menu) and then edit game, and add bots, like combat trainning; you then have all perks, all weapons, all camos (gold include) and all attachments.

somebody flagged this post, any reason why it's bad? Because I see none; at worst it's incorrect.
 
that makes me miss the original Rainbow Six days, when you could edit a local config file and have access to all sorts of guns and settings
 
@badpDr Is there any comment with it?
 
@badpDr it's incorrect
 
Answers that are merely incorrect should be downvoted and commented or edited. Flags are not a replacement for downvotes.
 
3:11 PM
@badpDr I know but that's probably why it's flagged
It's not a duplicate answers either, I'd ignore it
 
So why haven't you downvoted it yet? ;)
 
@badpDr I'm getting to it!
 
@badpDr Not always.
 
@ArdaXi Examples why we should let false rumours circulate on the internet uncorrected?
 
@badpDr Not what I'm saying.
 
3:15 PM
@badpDr: They may hatch and turn into a beautiful meme
 
I'm not saying that we shouldn't downvote or correct them.
 
we could become the next 4chan
except with more powerful lazers
 
But in certain cases, they cannot be corrected, and the contents may be dangerously wrong (eg. pointing to hacks, or stuff that gets you banned) and should be deleted, just because they are wrong.
 
@ArdaXi you mean if they are beyond correction?
 
@RonanForman Yes. I mean, if they are actually wrong.
Wrong is the polar opposite of right. Incorrect is somewhere in the middle.
 
3:18 PM
If they're actually completely undeemably wrong, prove so in a comment.
 
I would. But that doesn't mean it shouldn't be flagged.
 
@ArdaXi now we're getting semantical
 
"Contains link to bad stuff" is orthogonal to "Is actually correct"
I can take the best answer on the site and sneak a goatse link into it
 
@badpDr Yes, but if the answer consists only of the bad stuff, then it's wrong
 
Obviously "contains link to the bad stuff" is flag worthy
 
3:20 PM
@badpDr Well, not necessarily. A rogue link is easily edited out.
Wouldn't want to risk wasting Juan or Grace's time.
 
You wouldn't because you have 2k rep
 
@badpDr if it is entirely bad, not just containing
 
@RonanForman still doesn't mean it can't be correct
 
@badpDr Yes, but if it's wrong, that means it can't be correct. As per my previous definition.
 
"How do I play CoD without a license key?" Correct answers: "No you can't without piracy", "You can: download this torrent". Incorrect answers: "You can't."
 
3:21 PM
Grumble. I lost my consecutive streak over the weekend because I didn't hit the site until after 6pm local time (00:00GMT). I hate that.
 
@badpDr The latter is wrong
 
now I'm confused, see you after the decision is reached
 
@doctor what
 
@RonanForman You're not coming back? :O
 
I'm just trying to say, do not confuse "appropriate" and "correct"
 
3:22 PM
Well, I guess it's correct, just...we don't want that sort of answer on the site.
 
@Mana yes, this
 
True. nods philosophically
 
Well, fine. Then it's thusly inappropriate, that it cannot be made appropriate.
 
actually we've reached a decision so: Hi again!
 
@Arda huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh
 
3:23 PM
@ArdaXi Flagging inappropriate content is fine, as I said
Incorrect content, downvote or correct, do not flag
 
@badpDr But even dangerous content that isn't illegal should be flagged.
 
@ronan or not.
 
(I mean, when in doubt do flag, but do not just flag because it's incorrect)
@ArdaXi That's why I used "appropriate", not "illegal"
 
what do the other sites say?
 
@badpDr Didn't some mod say that you shouldn't be afraid of flagging etc?
 
3:25 PM
When in doubt do flag
2
 
@RonanForman Uh oh, are the sites speaking again? Who spilled the personification potion?
@badpDr What I disagreed with was the idea that you should not flag incorrect answers.
 
@ArdaXi was that the one on the top shelf? i think that was me
 
Which is what it says in the pin list
@RonanForman Have you any idea how expensive those are?
 
@Arda No, they shouldn't be flagged.
 
I'll rephrase
 
3:26 PM
Incorrect answers should be downvoted.
 
@Mana They should be flagged in certain cases. Just not always.
This message implies never to flag them.
 
in what cases should they be flagged?
 
@ArdaXi I was trying to reach the unanimous decision, but I slipped
 
sorry, I guess we're retreading over things you've said
 
@Mana I told you. If the answer is inappropriate for any reason.
 
3:28 PM
right but that's different
kind of
 
If it links to a virus, for example, it's both incorrect and inappropriate.
 
well whatever @badp changed the pin thing
 
@badp That's a good mod! Have a cookie.
 
Here, is this one better?
 
throws a cookie at @badp
 
3:29 PM
catches
 
this is the problem with community sites, no one person can be completely correct
 
@ArdaXi Downvote and flag then. Then reclaim your -1 rep with a recalc after the post is deleted.
 
@badpDr Exactly. Thank you.
@RonanForman When in doubt, I'm right. As has just been proven.
 
Oh man. You know what would be so cool?
If you could vote on other people's votes.
 
Including voting on other's people votes on other people's votes?
 
3:31 PM
@ArdaXi when @ArdaXi is in doubt, I'm right, got it
 
@Mana Recursion incursion!
 
Exactly.
 
"I approve Arda's approval of my approval of Arda's disapproval of my disapproval of this disapproval flag."
 
@Mana you could get rep of making a vote that lots of people agree with
 
I approve badp's approval of my approval of badp's approval of my approval of badps approval of my disapproval of badp's disapproval of this disapproval flag.
 
3:32 PM
@badp That sentence would hurt my head more if you changed Arda's approval to Arda's disapproval.
 
@Mana How's that?
 
I approve Mana's disapproval of Arda's mod making capabilities as well
 
@Arda eh, too many approves in a row
 
all of the above!
 
I wonder if we could instate "head-ache inducing" as a flag reason on chat.
 
3:33 PM
You'd be surprised
 
@badpDr I disapprove of badp's approval of Mana's disapproval of my abilities.
 
I wonder if we could instate "Arda being a terrible mod" as a flag reason on chat.
 
I approve of your disapproval of my approval of Mana disapproval of your mod making capabilities
 
@Mana No, we can't. Because of YOU!
 
@Arda I feel so guilty now.
This is me being guilty.
guilty face
 
3:34 PM
I can't place that at all next to your avatar.
That looks like the face you would pull if I had made mod.
 
Yeah, it really is.
 
So... that probably happened when @badp won.
 
That happened when Oak didn't nominate
 
Kind of. It was like a twisted contorted face between that and "eh"
It did happen when Oak didn't nominate.

@RonanForman That it @mana.
 
Also me.

So what's guilty face?
 
@ArdaXi quiet captain obvious
 
@RonanForman Sheesh. Why is everyone calling me captain obvious? I guess I must be pointing out things that are really obvious.

@ArdaXi enough with the recursion!
 
@RonanForman Sorry, @Mana created the recursion incursion

anyways bbl, drum practice~ wheeeeeeee
 
Well, I'm gonna spend the next couple ours not being mod at work.
 
I believe we can safely blame ArdaXi and move along
 
Thanks to @Mana.
@badpDr No, we blame @Mana now. Because some people are too scared to make a mod a scapegoat.
