Don't hardly ever post over there since I joined here, not a fan of the new thread layout either.
I won't be posting over there either, I will probably keep doing the daily challenge, but that's it.
The DC is so bad, though. Half the stuff is wrong, there is no oversight process (the person overseeing it has intentionally been keeping wrong answers in even when knowing that they are wrong), and what is right is often trivial or non-applicable to broad IT. It's a horrible system.

@jmoore said in SW rant time:
Can we implement something like the daily challenge here as well?
Can, yes. But it is a huge undertaking to do well, as SW has shown. Theirs is the prime example of everything not to do. Wrong answers, no means of correcting them, questions that shouldn't be being asked of real IT people, etc.
I actually got into IT social media through a challenge system like that, before I was in forums. It's harder and more expensive than you think to do even moderately well.
-
Making a DC system is a bit like making a real time certification exam.

I wish I could upvote this a bunch more times. You're 1000% correct about the ridiculous moderation methods over there, and about that <LOOOONG string of expletives omitted> David 'ass.
Welcome to the mango side, we have cookies. And people who know what they're talking about (not me, but there are others).
Wait, I never got a cookie...
Cookies are only given out at mangocon. And then only if someone makes them.
Oh, I did get a cookie at MC. And a garbage plate. And a hangover.

Five minutes sooner and he could just have avoided making the account altogether, lol.

But that wouldn't have been as funny.

Is SW taking the ability to close your accounts away?

I don't think so. What makes you ask?

Just the way you phrased your previous remark.

My point was that he made an account and immediately closed it. He could have just skipped the first step.

But he didn't, it was just his first post. The account was created back in 2015.

Oh, I missed that. How odd to want to close it after a few years.

You know how some people are paranoid. I was looking through old posts here last night and saw where Dennis Kelly as asking to remove his account here. I don't know exactly what paranoid people think will happen if they leave their account open though.

That's not about paranoia. that's people upset with the community and trying to rant.
