@allquixotic, funnily enough, I'm actually an active editor over there, hence why I edited the answer instead of content forking it. :P

I've posted my own answer, but rejecting an edit that brings a non-answer into compliance is a waste of time for everyone involved. :/

The answer as it is, does not answer my question (i.e. how do I do X). Instead the answer links to a bug report with a solution. I've just imported the solution to the answer.

Could someone clarify why this edit was rejected? superuser.com/review/suggested-edits/752684

@Andy yeah, fucked that up. I was following up with Magisch's idea, but I clearly messed up. Sorry about that.

@ArtOfCode lol, I feel like that was quite misinterpreted.

@Undo, I was just stalking your profile, and I realised that I've seen your posts before (specifically the NOAA-N Prime satellite one).

@ArtOfCode apparently. Any tips on how to stay off it? :P

@Undo yep, detailed discussion is here: meta.hardwarerecs.stackexchange.com/questions/507/…

Hmm. It's been deleted now though...

@Undo It is quite amusing to see the downvotes flood in when SD detects something though. I remember the days when you had to refresh the page to update vote counts.

@Magisch I was actually in India last year, and I'm just not sure where this stuff happens exactly.

@Undo how is that supposed to be profitable?

wow @undo has a shady double life

I wish I cope meet one of these spammers one day, just to ask them what on earth they are thinking.

@CaffeineAddiction ah, Eddie Izzard. I approve.

@JohnB I'm not going to disagree. Just something to think about. Looks like GD.SE have already discussed this and come to a conclution though (see my second link).

@Magisch, wait, this is very confusing: meta.graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/643/…

@Magisch I went ahead and asked on meta anyway: meta.graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/3059/…

quietly backs away from the chaos

@Magisch wait, is this just specific to GD.SE? I thought inline images were allowed on SO too?

@Magisch Maybe we could get images hidden behind a spoiler button for users under X amount of rep?

@ArtOfCode Reminds me of blog.codinghorror.com/they-have-to-be-monsters

Is it just me, or is there a kind of sad irony to the spam detector bot getting spammed.

I came here to check what the status with spam detection bots was after a year of not using chat.SE much, and I was reading the wiki about privileges and now I'm feeling very self-concious that my most upvoted answer is on "What to use as an initial version?" of all things, with 40 upvotes (what is it with people sometimes).

that moment when you've used your last flag for the day but there is still more spam

just unblacklist. browserstack should know better.

@tripleee user blacklist is a bit unnecessary for that one, no?

@Thijser that sounds reassuring.

@rinzwind, fyi as of github.com/ubuntudesign/www.ubuntu.com/issues/913, the issue with shop.ubuntu.com should be resolved.

@NathanOsman Oh, I was just making sure you weren't doing it before I went ahead, but it's too late anyway. github.com/ubuntudesign/www.ubuntu.com/issues/913

bugreportlock.lock()?

Where does that need to be reported? I'm looking at bug trackers and I've found launchpad, but that looks like it's for packages.

Ended? I'm getting net::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID because it's for shop.canonical.com and not shop.ubuntu.com.

@NathanOsman Now we know what crashed GitHub. :P

Well that was over before it began. Shoutout to #skynet for trying, but you failed buddy.

If in doubt sudo reboot.

And it's green!

@githubstatus be like: "We are currently experiencing major service outages." twitter.com/githubstatus/status/783187145414541312

I know this is somewhat sadistic of me, but I can't help but find it slightly funny when a major tech company has an outage.

@NathanOsman Ah. Thought I might find people on here running into that.

I can see that qldconservation.au.org resolves, but I still don't know how. I'm hoping that it goes to 182.160.163.148.

Sorry, .au should delegate to .org.au, which should delegate to qldconservation.org.au. Can you clarify that you can go to the home page?

Does DNS not work how I think it does? I'm really condused

@hbdgaf, how does qldconservation.au.org even work? that isn't even a TLD is it?

@hbdgaf, I learnt the hard way that two concurrent apt-get instances DO NOT like each other.

WHAT..??

It doesn't resolve at all. DNS traversal tools are getting NXDOMAIN.

The register is CrazyDomains.
