Oh no, from the timestamp I can see in your profile you posted this post on July 31, 2014 8:45pm, I'm sure you are not at work!
I most certainly am not. I am sitting by my fireplace, drinking brandy and perusing TDWTF in my own free time, thank you very much.
-
Well, I was originally a passive front page reader who later on started posting comments and reading things on the CS forums.
Then I started lurking on these forums to see the great outrage.
Then I joined for some reason.
And I find the content here entertaining/interesting enough to keep going, I guess.
-
Whar?!? Whar community replacement warm body sock puppets? Whar?
Point me in the direction of those evil mother-fuckers. I have a blow torch and a pair of pliers needing a purpose.

What, two months into Discourse and you still expected ** as markup for "bold" would work inside a word?
I think it used to, but they decided they didn't want it to.
-
And yes, I'm new to this site! Been here only a few days before this date >>> June 5, 2014 to see what all the bitching was about.
-
It's almost like many TDWTF members are only here during the work hours.
Work is a barrier to browsing TDWTF.
-

Sucker.
-

FTFY. And bolding is hardly the only thing. Blakeyrat noticed the "quote button doesn't appear if you partially highlight a link" thing two months ago, and that's still not been fixed.
-
The criteria (which are all still default) aren't particularly onerous, especially with a community like ours:

Sometime after the 27th of August, if I can be bothered, I'm going to have a look at what the relevant values are for all the leaders to see if they can/need to/should be tweaked any.
Given the current set of members, however, I think it'll end up just being an exercise in curiosity.
So I'm guessing that I have too many flagged posts for Level 3.

Something like that, but don't forget JEFFLIKESITTHATWAY

Does Jeff like a purple cactus dildo up that way too?

$DEITY, I hope not. Otherwise, where's the fun in giving him one?

This makes no sense. Lowering the high bar reduces failure, obviously.
Option three, undoubtedly the hardest approach, is to make the higher bar more attainable, but apparently people can't distinguish that from actually lowering the bar i.e. "dumbing down".
Option three requires effort on the part of the beneficiaries, so there's no guarantee of results. Also, some people believe for whatever reason that that effort shouldn't be necessary. They don't phrase it in those terms; they'll say things like "it should be intuitive" or "it should just work". I suspect option one is preferred for those reasons.
Or maybe, just maybe.... we are all the old DailyWTF members. We just picked out new nicknames to mess with you!
There are a few of us old guard here and we don't all have the same handles.

They also haven't fixed "RSS meta tags only appear after a refresh of the site". Pretty sure that was the first thing I reported.
But they probably keep that broken on purpose, so they can point to people like me who ask, "why don't you have RSS?" and laugh and say, "we do you LOSER! Why are you such a LOSER, LOSER! Ha ha ha!"
-
No it's simply that Jeff doesn't care because he doesn't use it therefore no-one uses it therefore it won't be changed.
-

There have been very few flags (that count) raised in toto (you don't have any.) You're simply missing 5 days attendance (45/100)
-
I too am wondering what phallus I have to fellate to get leader status. I noticed that all the cool kids had it a while ago and I have been reading all the threads like a good boy.
-
Have you actually been logged in all the time?
-
I'm still saddened by the fact that I'm about 3 weeks away from getting the necessary amount of days.
-
It's almost like many TDWTF members are only here during the work hours. Maybe even WASTING THE COMPANY TIME?
Shhhh!
In all honesty I think taking short breaks every so often makes me a more effective worker. I worked at a place that had regimented coffee breaks and it was not pleasant.
Then again I have no data so maybe it just makes me feel better rather than increasing production.
-
I is sad that I have only just gotten to 51 days and since I've had at least a day off, I must be at least another day from reaching the cool kid's club.
-
As you have been posting these images quite a few number of times so far, I just thought: wouldn't it be nice if that data were available for the user to look up himself/herself/itself?Filed under: no, I will not suggest it on meta.d
-
@faoileag Mere mortals are not worthy to see such data themselves. They might try to influence it, you see. Not all forumites are as... behaving... as we are.
Also, 500 error.
-
I worked really hard on gaming the system to up my numbers - I am hoping it's just visits im short of now. can you confirm?
I read all those shitty threads, even the fucking nyan cat bollocks. I deserve to be a leader and get several badges of honor.
I demand that a "Wasted time reading useless bullshit to join the cool kids club in the secret category" be created especially for me. Also that I am awarded such.
-
-
HEY!
Actually I'm not offended.
I thought it was hilarious especially where Discourse was trying to prevent you from doing it.
-
wouldn't it be nice if that data were available for the user to look up himself/herself/itself?
Yes. It would. But it's not an option, and I'm guessing some installations would prefer to keep such information to admins only.

Allow users to view own stats
Filed under: No, I have no patience for meta.d today
How many people here still have the patience for meta.d?

-
BTW: looks like The Official "Likes" Thread - Now with 10K+ Posts! is becoming a barrier to become leader due to its size.
With the current minimum being 11326 posts to read, for the minimum 50 days that's > 220 posts to read per day. Or at least to get them into the viewport.
-
I got Leader badge and my only interaction with the likes-thread is that at some point I posted "Is becoming a leader problematic for people who don't read this thread", or something like that. Oh wait, there was one time I had to look into it because people actually posted interesting stuff about what was going on over at the meta-boards. But all in all, I didn't pay much attention to it. So it is definitly possible. Should still possibly excluded (if not already done so).

Well, yes, Jeff is a barrier to sanity and the single biggest problem meta.d has.
-

Leave it to Jeff and it will become visible ... for level 3's or higher.

I'm not seeing this as a problem since only the old-timers and die-hards will push hard enough to attain Leader, which I believe is actually the intention.
-
what about the whole weekday vs weekend cycle? Five days of high traffic, followed by two days of quiet... It's almost like many TDWTF members are only here during the work hours. Maybe even WASTING THE COMPANY TIME?
-

YES! Finally doing something right. Maybe not the right thing to do but we're doing it right.

Indeed. We can't have gamifaction.

Success!

Given the fact that it's a rolling 100 day count, and the site's only really been live for ~74 days, I think that number will increase by around a 3rd.
I've updated the raw data in the OP to include yesterday's numbers for the CDO sufferers among you.

But now the raw data doesn't match the graphical data! My brand of OCD demands this be fixed!

If we are really playing at freaking out people with OCD, then allow me to present one for you:
THE ICON AT THE TOP OF EACH THREAD IS FRACTIONALLY LARGER THAN THE EQUIVALENT IN THE FULL DAILYWTF ICON!
you're welcome.
-
you're welcome.
If there is someone that didn't figure that out yet, that's not a lack of OCD, that's a lack of being able to see.
Fucking thing keeps bouncing all over the place. And that's not OCD talking, it's genuinely distracting when it does that in my peripheral vision.
