Dude. You created the likes thread. That in itself is a crime against every civilized human being in Jeff's eyes.

You know, I had actually forgotten about that...

Your first task would be to write a full test suite so you have something to run when you do a pull from the main Discourse branch.
Quite frankly, that sounds like the most depressing task ever. Spend a month cataloguing the current discobehaviour, only to have, what, 40% of your tests break every damn time you pull. Then no doubt being told that testing is and you're and you don't understand the true genius of Discourse, where every new feature comes with 20 free regressions, and blah blah blah blah blah

That's why I said "trivial complaints."

Now, I know nothing about you guys. So, hello! How are you? :)
Bad.You've just did there to me, what you seem to be accusing Jeff to do. Pre-judged without knowing enough.
All I need to know is that you have your own Dicksauce instance.Any other clues?
Maybe write what you want to say **here**?**Almost** as if I were trying to spam / promote myself **on purpose**.
You don't say?From my point of view, I still think Jeff had some good reasoning...
No, he's just an asshole.And in our side, we got anarchy. Which is the way to go, ffs... But you need to do it with transparency.
634345345222266. What @blakeyrat said. 667345345345345. What the fuck are you on about? Transparent anarchy? 8888888888888888888888888888888888888888. Why don't you think about what you want to say before just typing it and hitting "Reply?"

Well...you know...mostly. When he can be bothered to understand the report.

Indeed, but there are two reasons Jeff would not agree with that, despite being trivial. First, of course, the complaint originated with TDWTF. Secondly, it actually affects usability; Jeff only agrees with complaints about visual clutter and elements of the UI actually being visually distinct from each other (less information, less contrast, moar whitespace!).

Yeah, that's part of why I highlighted it as necessary.
-
I'd agree that it's necessary, but I think we both would agree that it's not going to happen given the current level of importance the attach to it. As long as they continue to equate QA to paying customers there can be no improvement in the state of affairs.

Hmm, the "deviant" part of that could work, but Discourse is definitely not art. Nothing I'd call art, anyway; I've seen performance "art" that is far worse than Discourse β hard as that may be to believe.

"performance art" == "some people spazzing about"

True enough, but the is quite enough spazzing about to exceed the criteria by at least an order of magnitude.

I mean emoji, loads of emoji.
A major mobile provider has shitloads of billboards with them, like next to a tram station there's something like:
Don't for the , and

And I saw one for charity recently, something like "this Christmas donate presents to someone", written out in as many emoji as possible.

To be fair, you can't do complaint-driven development without giving your users things to complain about.

Now, I know nothing about you guys.
Obviously. Some of us aren't guys.
So, hello! How are you?
Do I know you?
You've just did there to me, what you seem to be accusing Jeff to do. Pre-judged without knowing enough.
You were judged based on your relevant action. That's not prejudging, that's just judging.
I've tried digesting you, myself
I don't think I consented to that. Vore's more @accalia's thing.
I'm a piece of work to digest, if you try...
Still no.
And decided to present myself here, give you some of my first impressions.
Now, I couldn't post what I was writing due to "new user" limitations to 2 links. Let me try to hack my way out of this by editing the post...
Well, you've got some of the right attitude.
I find that part right there really hard to believe. In fact, I don't
Because...? I mean you've already admitted you've had a topic deleted:
I've got a topic deleted for no good reason there already
Almost as if I were trying to spam / promote myself on purpose.
You're not doing much to counter that impression. At least half your links are about you:

That was quite extreme thing to say. I'd still not try to take it personal.
Much appreciated.

[quote="FTL:"]
user 97832123
[/quote]Oh.
[quote="FTL:"]
I find it disturbing that he has been suspended until 2012, an effective ban, for such words. I believe that such actions make meta.MSE into a place deeply hostile to criticism (something which I think has happened in the past already, but it is significantly accentuated with such a drastic measure).
[/quote]This sounds strangely familiar. As if history has repeated itselfβ¦
[quote="FTL:"]
However, I can't agree with you about 97832123. Certainly his most recent comments don't merit a 2 year suspension on their own. Certainly I wish this situation had been handled differently (I've said before we should be ban happy during betas and I think he should have been suspended on day 2, which may have nipped some of this in the bud). However, I think banning him based on his overall attitude and lack of civility is as completely reasonable decision to make.I wish this had been handled differently, as the same user has become a positive and basically civil contributor on MO, but I think that given where things are at the moment it was a reasonable decision to make.
[/quote][quote="FTL:"]
I'm certainly in agreement that 97832123 could (and should) have been suspended at earlier points for actual incivilities (e.g. in the beta). I would still object to "let's suspend him because of long-past actions" now because it seems extremely ex post facto to me. If he made incivil comments later and was suspended normally for it, no problem; as it is, especially since he has become a productive member of MO, I am worried about a ban as opposed to normal incremental suspensions. (Who will there be to ask about higher categories?)
[/quote]So very, very familiarβ¦
truth is if you want to make a stance you can never please everyone.
Might occasionally be worth considering if you can please someone other than yourself, though.
That's equivalent.
One of them never halts.
On the other hand, I do think that circular avatars are awful, and square ones are the best.
If you want a circular avatar, you can do so and have the same width, since discourse supports alpha levels. If you want a square avatar in circular mode, you have to use a smaller width. So it's technically superior, not just subjectively superior.
I'm the dude that elected himself mayor
Please don't hurt me, @Weng.
How many people do you know would have come here and done what I've done?
Depends on what you mean by that, but we've had a few. We even have a Β Β Β for it.
From my point of view, I still think Jeff had some good reasoning...
"Free QA is too
expensivestressful"Well, there you go. I can't blame him for that.
Jeff, who likes restrictive rules and getting things done.
So you don't think "fixing bugs" is one of the things that Jeff should think needs getting done?
And in our side, we got anarchy.
Here. Not so much there.
By the way, why haven't you migrated yet?
We're working on it. We even have a dedicated category for it.
Or why are there so many bugs here?
Discourse fired their free QA team. What do you think?
But not even TDD?
If they do, their tests are woefully inadequate.
You should get that tic looked at.
I'm 15 years progammer*
Error: missing reference.
No, the ban was because having us interact with the discoteam caused Jeff a lot of stress. I'm sure that's in the disopocalyse thread. That was based on, IIRC, an email from @sam.
I thought that was private comms between Jeff and @apapadimoulis, and @sam also said something in TL4 or something?
I recall he also offered to pay for us to migrate elsewhere (which was reasonably declined, and not out of spite).
And it wasn't like these were difficult to find, simply posting a single message generally revealed one or two.
Still does, sometimes.
less information, less contrast, moar whitespace!

I'd agree that it's necessary, but I think we both would agree that it's not going to happen given the current level of importance the attach to it. As long as they continue to equate QA to paying customers there can be no improvement in the state of affairs.
Well, one of the paying customers could require proper test coverage. Then the question becomes whether Jeff thinks the money is worth the effort.
Shitty tea then. Tea should be brown or maybe a very light green, but then it is :greentea: . That looks more like pea soup
At a guess, it's a reference to matcha:

Yes, pretty much. Except the TL4 bit. I don't recall anything like that. Also, to clarify, it was Jeff who offered to fund a migration.
