@DavidW Well true yeah I suppose, forgot you can't VTD 0 scored answers outside of review

TheLethalCarrot

Mar 20 14:02

If it's more on a borderline answer and the edit is good and you wouldn't VTD the edited answer then everything's all good. If the answer is crap/NAA/delete worthy before and after the edit then that's somehting to flag I reckon

TheLethalCarrot

If you suspect anything like that you can always flag it and we can look into it. It should be pretty obvious if it is an abuse of the system. That said it isn't too much of an abuse because it doesn't clear the delete votes on the answer, just the flags so it can always get deleted in the same way as usual

@DavidW Yeah, if you click Edit in review it kicks it out of the queue

A: Can we fix Wikia links before they break?

Unfortunately, while I recognize the importance of the change, there is not currently quite enough information here to proceed. This change affects ~28,000 links across the network. I am able to locate some official documentation about wikia.com's move to fandom.com, so I'm not worried about the ...

@fez I handled the flag (we can't reply on comment flags for some reason), I like keeping all information on the post and when it wasn't edited into the question I declined it. I knew there was an answer but it's still useful information to keep around especially when the remembered date doesn't match the accepted answer

@Randal'Thor I was also pretty sure it was at 1 when I looked straight away when you posted in here... perhaps vote reversal script?

TheLethalCarrot

Nov 11, 2024 16:02

@Randal'Thor It's at 0 now? Was it 1 when you looked or 0? I'm pretty sure you can VTD in LQP at 0

TheLethalCarrot

The delete vote came from the review but unless something has changed you never used to be able to be able to Delete in LQP if the post had a positive score, it gets changed to Recommend Deletion. Perhaps the vote came in after the LQP review was loaded and then the final Delete vote from within the review doesn't have the same post score checks on it?

@Randal'Thor Well somebody could have told me 2 years ago!

Q: What constitutes the same answer for story-identification questions?

If two story-identification questions both have the same answer, and that answer has been confirmed (on each question) by the querent in the form of acceptance or a confirmatory comment, one of the questions may be closed as a duplicate of the other. In most cases, this is quite straightforward...

@DavidW Oh yeah that's no fun, what should be a super simple migration takes forever because some core concepts are ever so slightly different

TheLethalCarrot

May 15, 2024 16:34

When it works, everything goes by like a breeze and the second it doesn't you're stuck for days on what should be a super simple problem to fix haha

TheLethalCarrot

May 15, 2024 16:33

@DavidW Yeah I can't imagine it's a unique feeling

TheLethalCarrot

May 15, 2024 16:30

It's a lot better than winforms but when it doesn't do something you want it to do it is a nightmare to get it to do it

TheLethalCarrot

May 15, 2024 16:29

On a different note, I love and hate WPF

TheLethalCarrot

May 15, 2024 16:29

Part of me did want to

TheLethalCarrot

May 15, 2024 16:27

@DavidW It's a troll of course but I kinda want to know what they're on about haha

TheLethalCarrot

Apr 2, 2024 08:10

Don't let it stop you from posting them if you want, we want more content here not less just because someone has a vendetta against something!

TheLethalCarrot

Apr 2, 2024 08:09

@JudithJones FWIW there are some people that are just against self answering questions for whatever reason. I've got quite a lot of self answered questions on the site and almost all of them have a downvote on the Q and/or A and attracted comments at some point about them being self answers

TheLethalCarrot

Mar 15, 2024 11:16

I VTLO in the queue

TheLethalCarrot

Feb 22, 2024 15:14

I undeleted it anyway

TheLethalCarrot

Feb 22, 2024 15:13

Score-wise but for rep it doesn't really matter, any upvotes will be positive

TheLethalCarrot

Feb 22, 2024 15:05

@Laurel People here have always been too harsh on deleting short story id answers. The answer is the work, anything else should be encouraged but without it, it is still an answer

TheLethalCarrot

Oct 12, 2023 10:23

My personal opinion is one answer per answer for story id, else the votes and accept mean nothing

TheLethalCarrot

Oct 11, 2023 07:38

@user16217248 You're best to use flags for this

TheLethalCarrot

Sep 21, 2023 13:45

Done, to be fair with the other being a stricter subset of that the dupe closure should probably go the other way but meh

TheLethalCarrot

Sep 20, 2023 16:06

The OP has a new answer there, I don't see the point in creating a bother swapping the answers over in this case

TheLethalCarrot

Aug 23, 2023 16:27

It's a free gold tag badge if you're active over there though

TheLethalCarrot

Aug 23, 2023 15:39

Not in my opinion

TheLethalCarrot

Jul 29, 2023 15:24

Didn’t see the link in that post if I’m honest :)

Here are two examples from Movies with similar translation questions but they each use a different way of doing it. I suppose it depends on how many you want to cover and how many there are to cover

Also just a quick heads up but I think at the end of this week into next week flag handling times are going to be quite slow with one on strike and a couple of us are away

TheLethalCarrot

Jul 3, 2023 07:56

FWIW can probably flag that sort of thing, it already had two flags on it

TheLethalCarrot

Jul 3, 2023 07:55

Done

TheLethalCarrot

Jun 20, 2023 14:12

Pretty much, you can't do every action in a completed review for obvious reasons but it lets you do some if you want to complete it

TheLethalCarrot

Jun 20, 2023 14:02

Essentially they opened the review before it was closed but completed afterwards

TheLethalCarrot

Jun 20, 2023 14:02

If you have the review open before the question is closed it won't let you vote to close in the review but you can still vote to leave open to complete the review

TheLethalCarrot

Jun 13, 2023 09:17

@DavidW Certainly an interesting idea, luckily a CM was about to nuke it all it seems

TheLethalCarrot

Jun 6, 2023 15:24

@DavidW Well to be fair there's only ASR on the mod team striking

TheLethalCarrot

Jun 5, 2023 21:26

Haha making the most of a quieter office, I like it

TheLethalCarrot

Jun 5, 2023 21:23

Ah of course! That's never going to help you towards liking it

TheLethalCarrot

Jun 5, 2023 21:20

Though it is also hard at the moment because we're pretty much exclusively working individually

TheLethalCarrot

Jun 5, 2023 21:20

I will admit I like Fridays (apart from the obvious) because that's when me and my boss are both in the office together and I get more than a passing interaction with folks

TheLethalCarrot

Jun 5, 2023 21:06

My wife works from home full time so I quite like it but I get it could be quite isolating

TheLethalCarrot

Jun 5, 2023 21:04

The problem is for the most part it's a good job with decent perks and close to home (and now also 2 days WFH). I don't think I'd like it too much if where I moved to was too corporate

TheLethalCarrot

Jun 5, 2023 21:01

It's higher on my mind than it ever has been

TheLethalCarrot

Jun 5, 2023 20:59

@Jenayah There were 2 others when I started and now just me. I think just a timing thing cos he wants to do another apprentice and we have a big project coming up where we probably can't devote the time... not that I think it's a good enough reason to wait but hey ho

TheLethalCarrot

Jun 5, 2023 20:57

On the positive Stella is still a big goof ball and me and the wife just recently celebrated our 4 year anniversary :)
