The Community♦ user on Code Review meta has had a strange behaviour recently:

  • First of all, it has 5 reputation instead of 1.
  • Thirty minutes ago, it felt that it was a good idea to update 91 questions at once. Right now, the "active questions" page is totally meaningless since there are only old questions in a somewhat random order.
  • It removed some inline tags in some answers (example, "" -> "teaching") while it did not removed them in the questions.

Has it gone crazy?

    We saw some silly behaviour from Community on Stack Overflow Meta too; some script or other has been run to edit stuff and there are bugs in that script.

    Updating that many questions if fine, but breaking markdown is not.

    This may or may not have been a secret plot by Code Golf. >:D

Community has been doing mass-updates of posts changing links that used to point to meta.stackoverflow.com, and replacing them with links to meta.stackexchange.com

The effect, for example, can be seen in Community's activity: Migration of MSO links to MSE links

    Where do the 5 rep come from, though? And why did it replace all the markdown with html-formatting?

  • @Vogel612 Perhaps two of the edits it made was actually approved?

    @SimonAndréForsberg Community is a mod.. the edits don't move into the review-queue.. also Community owns all edits by anonymous users, and still has 1 rep with multiple 100k edit-suggestions approved...
