@LessPop_MoreFizz I was wondering that too.

I'm surprised we haven't had more fake Notches in the past. Although I suppose it's a good thing.

@GnomeSlicE Thanks. :D

I did my part and lost all the games I was scheduled to play.

@GnomeSlice Only 123 here.

@badp cringe

@StrixVaria :o

@StrixVaria No all-dressed either? And I thought you guys were only deprived of ketchup chips.

The lasers look awesome @Jin. :D

@John I'm glad my answer helped.

@FallenAngelEyes Yeah, I haven't been visiting chat much lately.

Congratulations @Oak and @agent86!

Trolololo.

@Powerlord It can't be, it doesn't have hats.

Oh good, the Diggle Nog achievement wasn't too difficult to get.

@GnomeSlice Yes, it makes more sense now that you say it was in 1080p.

Yay, #operationwallofpostandpingmultipleusers is finally complete!

@Gilles Speak with them in chat and resolve said issue.

@TomWijsman They'll eventually let up, and the moderator tools will assist in cleaning up their mess.

@NickT I think plot-related and ITG questions are fine for the site.

@Noctrine In no particular order: @Oak, because he did an amazing job as a pro-tem mod. @agent86, because he has made great contributions to Gaming content-wise and understands our site very well. @Wipqozn, because his avatar was previously an alot, and because he spends a lot of time on the site and understands our community and the site well. Oh, and @ronnie because he so pro.

@LessPop_MoreFizz I'll leave that to @fredley since, after all, it's one of the points he's made in his nomination.

@badp There aren't few (if any) times where I have disagreed with the actions our moderators have taken. Our current mods do a wonderful job moderating the site.

@NickT Explain why I did what I did (and point to the FAQ in case points outlined by the FAQ are the cause for the objection).

@FallenAngelEyes The quality of new users' content. In many cases, new users contribute great content to the site, but, as a side-effect of us being a video game site, we attract users who think of G.SE as a forum, asking poorly-formatted one-line pseudo-questions with improper grammar (this was made clearer with the influx of Skyrim questions that accompanied our Skyrim vs. MW3 promotion). Flagging, editing, and commenting are what needs to happen.

@NickT Questions shouldn't be edited to change the general message of the content (alterations to the connotation of words used, for example), but if a question requires significant editing then editing is appropriate. If the original poster doesn't approve of the edits made, they can always roll it back or come to the consensus with the editor in chat/comments.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Due to the overlap of concepts of many video games, having tags with the game name as a prefix would likely remove the ambiguity of our current tagging system.

@badp I feel I have a pretty good idea.

@LessPop_MoreFizz I wouldn't agree with a ban, but questions that don't fall under the on-topic category of our FAQ should definitely be closed.

@Noctrine I think the Stack Exchange engine works wonderfully for what it is, a Q&A site, and I don't see anything major that needs revamping.

@spugsley Comments on the question(s)/answer(s) in question indicating that they are currently being discussed on Meta should draw attention to it. I find that the red (new) blog post indicator draws quite a bit of attention to the link to the blog, so there isn't much issue with the blog. As users participate more on Stack Exchange websites, they will eventually learn of Meta (and the concept of Meta), so I feel it's something that will happen over time.

@StrixVaria Promotional grants to get more content about said games on our site, to draw attention to G.SE.

@AshleyNunn Yes. Flagging and downvoting are results of content being not fit for the site, or wrong. The user who created the content should be made aware of how they could improve for future cases.

@NickT If the question already has answers or lots of comments, a new question should be asked (essentially if editing the content of the question would result in more confusion). Otherwise, editing would suffice.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Most of the time, rather than receiving incorrect answers, we get answers that, well, aren't answers – these should be removed from the site. I personally don't find downvotes necessary most of the time, but they are there for cases where content is incorrect (but not necessarily wrong for the site).

@AshleyNunn A question should be acted on appropriately regardless of the user asking it. If they learn from their mistake and stick around, all the better for our community – we gain another valuable user! If they take it poorly and get driven away, they would likely have caused lots of trouble in the future.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Orange! (because orange is clearly the best colour)

@GraceNote I'm not completely sure to be honest. Even though I haven't been many posting questions or answers lately, I always have G.SE and meta.G.SE open in my browser, so I see flags quite early on in their life.

@Resorath If I closed a question that got reopened by the community (and it wasn't some sort of community rebellion), I would trust the community's judgement over my own (in nearly all scenarios, all situations have exceptions).

@LessPop_MoreFizz Like I do already, for new users who ask off-topic questions or other content that isn't appropriate for G.SE, instead of just casting a close vote or flagging, I leave a comment indicating what is wrong with the question/answer/comment, pointing them to the FAQ, and (if it's appropriate) giving suggestions on how to improve their question/answer to make it not off-topic/etc.

@NickT Nope. Especially for a site like Gaming, it's hard to make a set of strictly black and white rules that resolve all cases. The democratic community of Stack Exchange websites is the best weapon against content in the grey-area.

@badp Our own chat and community is a great resource in itself, so a simple "I don't play FooBar Adventure, is this answer correct/does it make sense?" should solve the issue most of the time.

@JohnoBoy In most situations, I see nothing wrong with not-so-significant edits – all increases in the quality of content on the site are good. However, if it is clear that the user is, for example, editing solely for the badge (potentially making many edits on one question/answer that could be accomplished in one edit), I would contact the user in chat/through comments and ask them to change their behavior.

@Noctrine My voting behavior would change since I can't, say, cast a close vote and see if four other users agree. For very clearly off-topic/NARQ/other questions I would cast my binding vote, but generally I would see what the rest of the community first.

@GraceNote I see nothing wrong with it.

@TimStone Of course questions and answers can have a sense of humour, but it's more important for them to have informative content.

@StrixVaria Certain questions are phrased in ways that answers are simple to Google, and because of this the answers to the questions are Googled content. The best way to get more questions about strategic games would be to have them more available to users, which promotional grants and Game On! would both help with.

@MichaelMrozek I would contact them (most likely via chat) to bring their attention to the flags and such that their comments were attracting, and help remedy the behavior.

Time to answer questions!
