Besides, it's not like the Pedantic Dickweedery badge given out by a judgement call.
The PD Badge is 100% granted by (prejudiced) judgement call.
And you're hereby excluded from earning that badge, until I or @PJH forget I said this.

(Earliest mention I can find anyway.)
Dear Xyro never did realize it was simply an old case with new hardware. :\
You have to find dhromed in real life and touch his head.
Any of you manage to do this, you'll get the other badge.
I personally think it's silly to name them after metals when they're not super-de-luxe shiny graphics like starcraft 2 rank icons, but eh.
I didn't see a quick way to change them, though?
You mean custom CSS?
That page is slightly less manic now that they've added groups for badges and I've organised them a bit.
Hm, this page would gain some scrumptiousness with styles to make it look a little like in-game achievements UI.
I had thumbs-up on my shortlist for an icon, but then I saw the finger one. Obvious choice was obvious.
Maybe a Smartypants badge is in order.
Ok, done. There's a new badge called Touched In The Head By An Angel, for random coolness.
I meant you can override them
Oh goody. That'll really diversify them bonds of the badges pages.
Wow, I remember the game session as being way longer than it was.
I now know @mott555 cracked the mystery of the hardware/case. Maybe a Smartypants badge is in order.
Wait, now that you mention the pear of anguish, maybe there should be an equal and opposed badge as well.
I truly don't, though! I like this community. Angry programmers is my bread and butter. This is my people, man. You are my people.
You're like that guy who goes dining in the busy meadhall with a large group of rowdy vikings and you're all I CAN BE ROWDY LOL and you smash your mug on the table with a big goofy grin, and then the room goes quiet and one of the biggest, roughest vikings is like "Why the fuck did you break that mug?" and another one is like "Yeah, that was a good mug." and others chime in like "Fucking wasting perfectly good mead"
"Fuck, he's so disrespectful."
"Uncivilized bastard"

WONTFIX, BITCH
For once, for once, I am glad that Discourse employs fog-of-war loading, so I can revisit this thread and not have to load the poll every time.
you'd just get standard autocomplete. The increase in history entries won't matter
HAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHA
tears jaw muscle
HAHHARGHGGNNN
If there are valid threads about Discourse issues then I see no problem with Jeff cutting and pasting posts into paper cranes as he sees fit, given that that discussion is excplicitly supposed to help him and cohorts improve the software.
Other than that,
Dear @codinghorror and @sam, you got admin privs in a support capacity, like a helpdesk employee getting remote desktop access to the user's computer to see what's going on and fix things. Not to actually moderate the forums.
I am going to always prefer opening a new meta bug (and linking there) over creating a TDWTF meta/bug. It just scales better. Gives me a tiny bit more work but the end result is more positive. I feel this experiment is causing fragmentation.
I hope @sam sticks around, even if just as one of us regular chuckleheads.
Do you believe he would want to belong to an organization that would have him as a member?
Is there a reason the user name is dissapearing within a topic?
IT SAVES SPACE

Will someone kindly delete @dkf's account?
Idea: process the database to discover groups of people who often like the same post together and should probably be friends forever or something.
Bring forth the Purple Dildo!
Sorry, I'm fresh out.
So that means it's still a little wet.
At the moment I think this forum could be renamed to the "Discourse Bugs Form".
It should be called "Discourse Stress Testing" where the "stress" part applies to the devs reading it. >:)
made those improvements himself
He plays Dwerf Fertress with standard ascii tileset. I don't think Ben knows what pretty graphics are.
Bronze: Chatty - 5 posts in a row
Silver: Monologue - 10 posts in a row
Gold: Filibuster - 20 posts in a row
You should have put that in an Excel sheet. It can do anything.
Where's the wtf?
Also when I have dreams that start in my bedroom, at least when I open the window there's a lot of rocks and a misty mountain pass, plus a tiger.
A scrolling mechanism whereby the entire page has a font size of 1px, and as you hover, it fluidly zooms to a readable level, like moving a magnifying glass over the thread, or an extreme version of OSX's utterly obnoxious taskdockbar.

I hope I look that good when I'm in my 40s.
I already look that good and I'm not even in my 40s yet.
I've got the biggest pole already.

PRAISE: When I post and as the page loads, my icon is a generated letter for a split second, it is a purple D.
Preface
This post is a pretty big multiquote. I have no energy left for spell- or concept-checking. Take it for what you will.
complaining about not being treated like a man in some respects, while at the same time declining to be treated like a man in all other respects. Which is it?
Both.
There are many situations and many treatments. There is no need for an exclusive choice, there is no "Which is it?". "Being treated like a man" refers, among other things, to being listened to as a respected person, and it refers to not receiving death or rape threats from voicing an opinion. Now I'm sure you personally don't send rape threats to women you don't like, but you also don't shout at the guy who does do that, as far as I know. Start doing that.
no matter how TDWTF might change, that change will do little to bring more women on board unless/until there is a larger pool of women in IT from which to attract participants.
based on my experience of women in IT, I don't think this community would change if more women started showing up
having stuff is better than not having stuff (duh).
I personally prefer not to have as much as possible, since it creates terrible Stuff Management overhead (stuff can be physical, intellectual or financial).
How is it proof of such inefficiency?
The difficulty of course, is selecting those competent women, because if it were easy, then the incompetent men would vanish also.
the wrong people are already in the industry and aren't going anywhere anytime soon.
as you agree.
I believe it's just not an industry that necessarily appeals to women in the first place, just as nursing doesn't necessarily to men.
they might install a forum software that gives your community the ability to moderate itself.
So, what am I supposed to say when making comment about something you've said to someone else?
I get that you're bent all out of shape by this community, but frankly, beating us over the head with your perceptions of our inadequacies isn't going to miraculously change our opinions.
You see, what you call 'blatantly misogynistic' may not be. It is to you but that doesn't necessarily make it so,
It's easy to dismiss Buddy right now, because you have no relationthip with them at all. There is no mutual respect deeper than what humans should normally grant eachother, ans so they arguably don't have any authority over what you can and can't think or say or do.
But maybe you have a bunch of female friends you can talk to.
It's no less real than misogyny,
except most of the time men don't tend to cry out or cry foul about it in the way women do.
Fuck that shit.
Just as male rape is a thing. Just because it's not reported or discussed
Not condemning does not equal condoning.
'They' is an interesting one because it's just as dehumanising as blindly using 'he' or 'she' by the arguments given above.
Your position is that if something is objectionable, I should report it and that failing to do so somehow legitimises it... no it doesn't.
I am not legitimising it by failing to report your posts.
Simply put, the only thing I could have done was to be impersonal, nonspecific and genderless, which is also wrong.
It's thought policing and coercion,
Don't overreact.
Are they a barrier to reading?
Why can't i like my own posts? >:(
This is the internet; I am not bound by the physical constraints of my spine's flexibility.
I have never met a single person who was willing to tell me that they liked forums.
I like forums.
Someone accidentally implemented a "show more" icon for every post, that rolls up often-used icons like "edit" behind Yet Another Click.
Since rolling up arbitrary things behind an icon and causing annoyance via Yet Another Click, I have to assume the perpetrator was high on drugs, and that this is a bug or UI experiment that shall be undone shortly, since there's no need whatsoever to roll things up merely because the nutty implementer wants the page to be as white as the ejaculate from his weird UI-boner.
/hypersnark
Or at least make the Edit button something that's never hidden.
I'm gathering an away team. You're on it.
