At the very least reputation loss for negative votes could scale quadratically instead of linearly
Evpok
Sep 18, 2020 10:11
That they were able to reach such a high reputation is indeed the proof that the SE reputation system has deep flaws
Evpok
Sep 18, 2020 10:11
I could honestly never tell if they were trolling, but in the very least they are a textbook case of the Dunning-Kruger effect

@Dimitris Some happy accidents happen, but you really should not give any credit to an answer from LPH unless it is supported by an answer from someone else with a very good score
Evpok
Sep 18, 2020 10:08
@Dimitris It is blatantly wrong to anyone who actually speaks idiomatic French, as is often the case with this user despite their insistence that they are right

@Reyedy Oh sure, maybe I will even start asking questions again :-)

Oooooh first time in years my name isn't blue here, what a relief :-D
Evpok
Jun 10, 2020 13:38
Congrats to our new mods :-)
Evpok
Jun 1, 2020 21:55
Ooooh I'd better monitor them while I can then
Evpok

@Tsundoku Or look at the stats on the election page :-)

I am so happy to see people willing to rebuild this site
Evpok
May 31, 2020 21:49
You folks ♥
Evpok
May 31, 2020 13:04
The good news is we have 4 nominee now, so I don't even need to run as a backup \o/
Evpok
May 31, 2020 13:03
@Tsundoku Done and done :-)
Evpok

I think there are not much hope of building a community around French without attracting native speakers :-)
Evpok
May 30, 2020 12:32
And it's hard to retrain those users only answering learner questions is only fun for so long
Evpok
May 30, 2020 12:31
So this site mostly revolves around L2 learners, with most answers coming from a very small pool of L1 speakers with a reasonable level in English
Evpok
May 30, 2020 12:30
Since the site is mostly targeted to english speakers, it is hard to attract a lot of expert francophones
Evpok
May 30, 2020 12:29
Yes, though I am not sure how to do that in the current SE framework
Evpok
May 30, 2020 12:26
But the most harmful for serious engagement here (and hence willingness to run as mod) was the issues we've had dealing with problematic users in the past I think
Evpok
May 30, 2020 12:25
Though to be fair, this crisis has also helped killing what little community interaction we've had
Evpok
May 30, 2020 12:24
No, the resignation were due to fatigue (we've been pro tempore here for more than 6 years) and the recent SE crisis
Evpok
May 30, 2020 12:22
We had some problematic users, which did require a bit more attention, but they moved away and it's been really quiet since then
Evpok
May 30, 2020 12:21
It really doesn't take more than 15' a day, though if I was still motivated I could spend more time improving things I suppose
Evpok
May 30, 2020 12:20
@Tsundoku like 1 flag/day, sometimes less
Evpok

@Qàtrè I don't understand what you are asking, why should it be something else?
Evpok
May 6, 2020 15:44
@Qàtrè What do you mean “this kind”?
Evpok
Apr 29, 2020 21:27
Et je suis content de voir qui se présente, je serais ravi de passer la main à vous trois :-D
Evpok
Apr 29, 2020 21:27
C'est @JNath qui l'a proposé et oui, c'était une bonne idée

Q: 2020 Moderators election — Interest poll / Élection des modératrices et modérateurs — sondage d'intérêt

Evpok(English version below) Nos modérateurs pro tempore ont été nommées en 2013 pendant la beta du site, ce qui commence à dater, d'autant que deux d'entre nous ayant démissionné, je me retrouve seul modérateur du site. À présent que nous sommes sortis de la beta (l'an dernier déjà), nous pouvons or...

Appel aux bonnes volontées, donc :-)
Evpok

Nous sommes toujours à la recherche de personnes intéressées pour se présenter aux élections des modérateurices. En fait comme ce serait notre première élection, d'après les règles de SE, il faut qu'il y ait au moins 4 candidat⋅e⋅s

@LPH Since you are wondering what you are doing wrong: “ C'est une prononciation des échanges peu soigneux et surtout, par les plus mauvais éléments parmi les locuteurs qui s'expriment en français” this is insulting
Evpok
Jan 17, 2020 16:27
I (obviously) do but the policy of SE is that moderation details are not publicly released
Evpok
Jan 10, 2020 09:24
@Færd Yes, and sometimes eve further to chai

@ho2o2hh2o Entièrement d'accord, n'hésite pas à commenter et downvoter en ce sens ou à en discuter ic

@MichaelRybkin Yes

@MichaelRybkin Almost, that would be … far in advance …

@Fólkvangr @LPH Please don't escalate this further here

@ifitnonietzsche J'ai l'impression que sur le chat nous sommes surtout des francophones natifs, mais bienvenue :-)

En l'occurrence ce n'est évidemment pas ce que je pense de toi ou de Gilles par exemple

@terdon It is, but anyone claiming any expertise on French should know better

ok prescriptivist
Evpok
Jan 13, 2020 12:55
@all-prescriptivist-here Go on, show us an universally agreed upon “standard” French, we'll be waiting
Evpok
Jan 13, 2020 12:54
@LPH “We are not all equally gifted in everything, I don't see why people in a particular region could not be specially gifted in comparison to others” wow, I have seen a lot of bigoted opinions here but that's easily in the top 3
Evpok
Jan 13, 2020 12:53
“At the end of a sentence it is never pronounced "cat"” this is blatantly false. and “ "Vingt" is pronounced "vint" in some régions of France, but that is not standard French” is seriously offensive.
