Dec 26, 2017 at 2:12 comment added MTL Uh...I'm not sure, @Lilienthal. I'd guess so (not sure what might have changed that?)...but maybe I'll see if Shog9 is in Tavern on the Meta, and ask him. This is essentially his answer, anyway.
Dec 25, 2017 at 20:35 comment added Lilienthal Is the advice of locking/deleting still current? Or is that just for cases where problematic comments are coming in from either the OP or other users?
Apr 16, 2017 at 15:27 comment added MTL @Wrzlprmft Okay. Thanks again for fixing Shog's quote to be more faithful to the original :)
Apr 16, 2017 at 15:24 comment added Wrzlprmft @Shokhet: In my browser, the sections you had labeled for copying were code format, with the entire comment on one line, with a reeeeally long scroll bar going off to the right. – same for me. Nonetheless, it’s easy to copy. — And anyway, why not have just one comment, both for reading and copying? – because I do not want to read link syntax. (Either way, these are minor issues. Your variant is okay to use as well.)
Apr 16, 2017 at 15:22 comment added MTL @Wrzlprmft Huh. In my browser, the sections you had labeled for copying were code format, with the entire comment on one line, with a reeeeally long scroll bar going off to the right. (And anyway, why not have just one comment, both for reading and copying?)
Apr 16, 2017 at 15:20 comment added Wrzlprmft @Shokhet: At least in my browser, block quotes are extremely easy to copy: You move the mouse to the beginning, click, move a bit down, and release. And that was the entire purpose of the blockquotes: to be easy to copy. They were not intended for reading.
Apr 16, 2017 at 15:13 comment added MTL Thanks for the edit, @wrz. You missed some formatting from Shog's answer (I did the same thing in the first version of this answer), so I've put that back in. Also, code formatting is (IMO) annoying to read and not so easy to copy, so I've made the blockquoted versions of the comments more easily copyable.

reset quote to original original. Thank you wzr-whatever your name is :) ...code formatting is annoying, so I made it easier to copy

Reset the quote to original; added up-to-date, ready-to-use comments instead, updated comments
Dec 30, 2016 at 16:48 comment added Shog9 Yeah, could stand to be tweaked @StrongBad. I don't know that it's worth adding a standard close reason given the relative rarity of posts where this is necessary though.
Dec 30, 2016 at 3:02 comment added StrongBad @Shog9 original had I'd like to help, but we're... which is an odd mix. I thought having it be a custom OT close reason was better than a comment since it would be a little more prominent.
Dec 29, 2016 at 23:04 comment added Shog9 Also, @StrongBad, try to avoid using "we" unless you're actually referring to a specific group of which you are a member; it can come off as a bit impersonal or aggrandizing. We know what you mean, but someone who is already confused and lost may not.
Dec 29, 2016 at 23:00 comment added MTL @Shog9 I thought your original intention was for a comment, but I think that Strong Bad was considering a custom close reason under "Off Topic."
Dec 29, 2016 at 22:58 comment added Shog9 I don't see any reason to have a close reason for this. Leave a comment and flag for deletion or close as off-topic. If it is so common that a close reason becomes expedient, there may be a deeper issue somewhere.
Dec 29, 2016 at 22:52 comment added MTL @Shog9 What are your thoughts about the blockquote, above? It is a quote from you, after all.
Dec 29, 2016 at 22:51 comment added MTL @StrongBad I see what you did, there, but your edit is within the blockquote, which is a direct quote from Shog's post on another site. Perhaps your updated version of the template should be moved outside of that blockquote?

Shorten comment so it can be used as an OT close reason.

Dec 29, 2016 at 16:23 comment added MTL @StrongBad I didn't write that part of the answer, but I think that message was designed for the comment space. If you want to edit the answer to include a template that could fit the close reason, go for it.
Dec 29, 2016 at 13:43 comment added StrongBad The close reason template is a few characters too long. It would be much better if it could be shortened to actually work.
