[09:39:27] <Bytram> ~tell Fnord666 I got your message, thanks! Good to see ya back in the saddle, so to speak (umm, write!)
[14:33:20] <Bytram> Hurricane Michael has dramatically and rapidly intensified... Is now a Category 4 storm with 145 mph winds. Just pushed out a breaking news story.
[17:11:57] <chromas> Two book reviews in subs. Should they go out whenever, or is there a special time?
[19:54:42] <Bytram> chromas: Hi! Didn't see your query earlier... Good question!
[19:55:27] <Bytram> AFAIK, in *theory* each Nexus is separate and distinct from the other. OTOH, we would rather not run two stories at the same time.
[19:55:52] <Bytram> so, maybe, space 'em midway between stories scheduled to go out on the main page?

[20:52:53] <mrpg> So, the DB is full? delete some stories. I have a friend, his name is Winston, he works deleting stuff. And rewriting.
[20:54:05] <mrpg> We can delete comments too. But so they don't call it censorship we could make a poll "whta do you want to delete?"
[20:54:49] <mrpg> OR, "Do you want your right to "... that european thing about deleting stuff you dont like from your past.
[20:55:00] <mrpg> memory? story? right to be forgotten!!!
[20:56:26] <mrpg> Google is gonna take care of us.

[23:21:50] * chromas wonders if JR still works on the bot code
[23:46:17] <Bytram> chromas: /me does not know for *certain* but from all discussions I've had with him, he lacks sufficient spare time to do so. I'd sooner expect to see him 2nd a story or something before doing that.
[23:48:30] <chromas> Ah
[23:49:05] <chromas> I just saw a bot output that could use a tweakin'.

[23:53:53] <chromas> Third paragraph, "razor-sharp insight and biting wit"
[23:53:58] <Bytram> chromas: I actually found 14 SN links in that story
[23:54:01] <Bytram> ok,
[23:54:03] <chromas> It doesn't point to a specific page
[23:54:33] <chromas> Maybe it's a barb at SN as a whole :)
[23:55:56] <Bytram> thanks for that, I see it now.
[23:56:36] <Bytram> send a note to the user asking for a clarification? And add an editor's note about it with the date/time you did it, too.
[23:56:51] <chromas> Then again, there's so many links, probably nobody will notice :D
[23:56:58] <Bytram> idea: after *using* the reskey to sub a story, delete it.
[23:57:23] <chromas> It always asks the server for a reskey before submitting
[23:57:35] <Bytram> well, that would be the fallback position, just remove the '<a href="blahblah">' and '<a>'
[23:58:38] <chromas> I see there's another pointing to the front page ("many curmudgeons"). I think it's on porpoise
