yeah

@ChartZBelatedly Only when you don't have that privilege, right?

@OriginalOriginalOriginalVI Tag wiki edits :P

Ah

69.27 here

Aww, HN left :(

@RedwolfPrograms 59.30, and I just found out that I have 699 posts (Q+A) in total

Shh, no one tell Lyxal :P

@Deadcode @Lyxal funny number spotted

Wow, how do y'all have such high ratios?

88.42 and 120.25 are amazing, wow, congrats to both of you.

@rak1507 Did you have to do that?

The moment when I break my challenge-posting schedule to escape from that number

yes

@Deadcode not much skill involved in claiming bounties... :P

@Bubbler What's your challenge posting schedule?

@Bubbler It's too late, rak1507 has already summoned Lyxal

Most of mine's from questions, which get way more rep than answers :/

Same :/

wait, there are two funny numbers here

Deadcode's average, and bubblers total

My top 5 non-trivial answers are worth less rep than an average question for me

I have twice the rep of a lot of the people with gold code-golf badges, because most of mine comes from questions

questions are easy rep answers are where it's at

@ChartZBelatedly I try to post one to main every week, though which day of the week is unspecified

@rak1507 Bounties are where it's at :P

exactly ;)

(and I didn't post one this week yet, so technically it's not breaking the schedule)

There are 2 question badges I don't have (Socratic (80/100) and Stellar Question (27/100)). There are 11 answer badges I don't have (not counting tag badges)

Yeah, it's really hard to get +100 on a question

I've gotten +55 once but it's probably the most I'll ever get

My best score on a single question is 46 (this one)

Unless you joined the site early on

@Bubbler +100 is difficult but doable. Stellar is have 100 bookmarks on a question

Oh god.

...bookmarks? what are they

This has 100+ score. It has 27 bookmarks

@rak1507 That little ribbon/star thing under the votes

I have never noticed that until now

what does it do

It's like a worse version of following

Been awarded 18 times has Stellar Question

@rak1507 Nobody knows

Shows you when a question is updated in the Bookmarks tab

or at least I don't

lol

@rak1507 If you go onto your activity page, it shows you recent activity

@ChartZBelatedly Yoda?

@OriginalOriginalOriginalVI I was tryna fit the link in without it looking or sounding too weird :P

yoda would say it as "been awarded 18 times, stellar question has" tho wouldn't he?

@HyperNeutrino Right you are

@HyperNeutrino Believe so, I do :P

Wait no "right you arë" sounds normal

"right you are" sounds like "oh right" (realization), "you are" (with some context) tho, at least to me

@OriginalOriginalOriginalVI ë?

although i guess it would have to depend on context

also yeah what's with the special E :P

I have no idea

For Stellar Question: The last time it was awarded was 13 days ago to the Javascript tips page. Before that, it was awarded in 2017 to Hello, World

I'm using Adám's APL keyboard, but it has some extra characters

Easiest badge to get ಠ_ಠ

CMC: What are your "I don't have X badges" for each "category" of badges (Question/Answer/Participation/Tag/Moderation/Other)? (max of 3 tag - bronze, silver, gold). Mine are 2/11/2/1/5/3

Ignore Precognitive, Beta and Constable. Link to badges

5/12/2/2/13/3

@ChartZBelatedly An easier question to answer (for me) would be: Which badges do you have?

@ChartZBelatedly Where do you get those numbers, anyway?

@OriginalOriginalOriginalVI I count for each section on the page :P

@RedwolfPrograms Have to do you 13 for Tag badges?

I didn't realize tag badges were included :p

7/14/7/1/16/3/3

There are only 4 bronze badges I can (but haven't) earned

@ChartZBelatedly bruh I log read the chat anyway

@RedwolfPrograms glares at Revival

Revival should be silver at least, maybe even gold

Oh hey I have that one

@RedwolfPrograms Which ones?

CMM: How active would this site (and other SE sites) be without the shiny badges and the fake internet points?

@RedwolfPrograms Hexasweep?

Yes

@OriginalOriginalOriginalVI Not at all, I'm only here for the shiny badges and fake internet points

@ChartZBelatedly Disciplined, proofreader, synonymizer, and announcer

@OriginalOriginalOriginalVI this site, roughly the same, others, maybe not

How do you even track announcer?

You lot think I actually enjoy golfing? Hell no, it's just the easiest way to get more shiny things

@OriginalOriginalOriginalVI You don't

@RedwolfPrograms I got lucky with Synonymizer, cause I noticed that mathematics was a tag

@ChartZBelatedly So it's like a job to you? Wow, that sucks. :P

Time to make a maths tag and then make that a synonym :P

@OriginalOriginalOriginalVI I'm basically Adam :P

@ChartZBelatedly I think you already asked the same thing before

I'm going to delete one of my old +3 posts, brb :p

@Bubbler caird often asks questions about badges. I guess it's human to obsess over shiny things :)

@Bubbler Yeah, back in Jan

@OriginalOriginalOriginalVI Once you hit 25k, you need to track something

There, deleted an old trivial +5 answer

I switch between "How many badges do I have?" and "How much rep to overtake HN?". Now that I've got the second one, I think I'll have to aim to beat JoKing :P

@RedwolfPrograms Badges can't be revoked, so undelete it after you get the badge :P

C'mon SE give me my shiny thing

Got it!

@ChartZBelatedly I take it you aren't JoKing

Down to 3 bronze badges unearned

@Lyxal I'm very serious :P

You can tell by the :P at the end of my messages :P

@HyperNeutrino Is this prompted by anything in particular...? :P

it took me until literally just now to realize who you were

@HyperNeutrino yes that's right. You're HyperNuetrino.

@Lyxal No, I'm HyperNeutrino.

aw you edited it :c

that's no fun

@HyperNeutrino Who do you think I am? I have no idea who this "card" person is

i thought you were just a new / newly active user until you mentioned beating me in rep and i was like "hold up you aren't a new user then"

@ChartZBelatedly card? Are we gambling all of a sudden?

@HyperNeutrino Is it possible, as a mod, for you to move an answer from one question to another?

card coin-something? Count me in!

I don't think that is something I can do

Drat. Are you sure?

card coin herring a thing

@Lyxal code golf is basically gambling

@HyperNeutrino Card-coin hearing a thing?

will it get 10 upvotes or will it be ignored, only time will tell

@rak1507 Nothing to lose, though

these are all of the mod actions on answers

Except your dignity, which you lose just by signing up here.

plus the typical delete, flag, and edit

> Convert to comment?

time, the respect of my latin teacher, grades

@OriginalOriginalOriginalVI Did you not know mods can do that?

@HyperNeutrino Aw. Well thanks for checking.

@ChartZBelatedly No

It's for answers that should be comments, but the user doesn't have the rep to do so

Wait, so can you convert anything to a comment?

yeah, sometimes people post answers that are better off as comments, usually because they don't have the rep to comment so they instead decide to post an answer

And can you convert a comment to anything?

no, i can only convert an answer into a comment on that question

i cannot convert a comment to anything

@HyperNeutrino Oh ok, I was hoping it was some kind of transmogrification spell

nor a question to a comment (where would it go???)

@HyperNeutrino Does "Purge all comments" just delete comments?

So... a while back I accidentally posted a decision-problem style answer to a sequence question. I have some golfs queued up to apply to my answer. Should I re-ask the question as a decision-problem and re-post my answer there (and then delete the original once the copy reached the same number of upvotes), or just edit it where it is? If I did the former, I'd do my best to move the edit history too, not just the current state.

i mean i don't see what else it could do lol

@HyperNeutrino I was thinking more of converting a sandwich to a comment and back

hmm i wonder if i can convert you to a comment >:-)

What happens if an answer is longer than 500 chars and gets converted to a comment?

@HyperNeutrino Maybe move comments to chat, or fully delete them so that even mods can't see them?

oh true. i have no idea i've never done it

my assumption is that it just normal deletes them

move to chat is another thing

oh yeah

@HyperNeutrino Believe me, I wish I could be a comment rather than a human every day :\

if you look right above the purge comments option

the one right before it is literally "move comments to chat" xD

"Convert to edit"? What does that do?

@HyperNeutrino Man, you've exposed SE secrets, now we need to know everything :P

Convert to Edit appends an answer to the question

this only seems to work on short answers

Does it discard the history or move the edit history of the answer into the question? hehe

that could be the OP or some well-meaning third party answering instead of editing/request-editing the question itself

I wonder if and when that's even been used

man i don't know this sort of stuff

Clearly we need to do more weird stuff on main to give the mods more practice :P

(I'm guess it discards it. For something rarely used they probably wouldn't go to the trouble of moving the edit history.)

well, i haven't banned any users yet, so maybe i'll get to try that out too :)

Convert to Edit is likely used on a short answer that just gets posted as something that should be a change, and immediately gets nuked anyway

so i doubt it would usually have any history, and if so it can probably just be yeeted

@HyperNeutrino Well, I seem to remember you using the site when you were younger than 13, so I guess you'll have to delete yourself (again) :P

lmao

gotta go eat dinner now, i'll be back afterwards if i'm alive. cy'all later o/

o/

\o

I'm considering making an undocumented esolang with an extremely obfuscated interpreter and giving a bounty to the first person who can figure out how to do a certain task in it :p

how much

Probably +500

I'm in

@RedwolfPrograms Count me in

@RedwolfPrograms I think there's a challenge like that

where can I write up some mathjax to include in a post? currently all my working is in notepad :P

@rak1507 I just open a "Ask Question" page and work there

thanks, that seems sensible

@RedwolfPrograms That's a programming-puzzle challenge if I've ever seen one :P

Oh, good point, I could make it code-golf for the OWC

Honestly, first answer would actually work

The only programming-puzzle challenges that are good are those which are "Here is X. Figure out how to do Y", when X and Y are clearly and objectively defined

We need more non-code-golf challenges (good ones, though)

If there's more than one way to approach the task tho, code-golf would work

I'll pick which one once I make the language then :p
