[21:20:09] -!- LaminatorX has quit [Quit: Web client closed]
[20:15:37] <mrcoolbp> Thank you sir.
[20:15:30] <LaminatorX> Sounds great.
[20:15:23] <mrcoolbp> okay, well apologies, I'll certainly check with you next time
[20:15:06] <LaminatorX> I was hoping to catch him on here today, actually, but he hasn't been on.
[20:15:02] <mrcoolbp> that makes perfect sense
[20:14:31] <LaminatorX> It would've been better to consult with me prior to getting him going on dev. I don't have a problem with his stuff, but I would likely have looked over his posts and chatted with him a bit before he got started.
[20:13:03] <mrcoolbp> well, more importantly, going forward I'd like to know what proper procedure is
[20:12:43] <LaminatorX> Gotcha. I was a little surprised by the pace of events, but no harm done.
[20:12:29] <mrcoolbp> Not sure what the procedure going forward should be with potential editors
[20:12:14] <mrcoolbp> "Hey, sorry shoulda chekced with you about Subsentient, was trying to help out"
[20:11:53] <mrcoolbp> meh I can just tell youit was just a "Hey
[20:11:32] <mrcoolbp> hmm, lemme send to your personal mail
[20:11:13] <LaminatorX> No, I've gotten nothing from you that I can tell.
[20:09:20] <LaminatorX> I don't think so, let me double check.
[20:06:49] * mrcoolbp is legitimately not sure due to weird cert stuff with mail yesterday
[20:06:18] <mrcoolbp> LaminatorX: did you get my email?

[03:58:01] <Subsentient> kk
[03:46:36] <mrcoolbp> email sent to LamX
[03:34:29] <Subsentient> I'd be fine with you, since we already got started.
[03:34:26] <mrcoolbp> no prob, I'll touch base with him
[03:34:15] <mrcoolbp> OR i CAN
[03:34:14] <Subsentient> Shit. Responded a few hours ago.
[03:33:21] <mrcoolbp> Subsentient: oh that's okay. no need to forward. Please let him know that he can do the training him self, that I just tried to set you up so you'd have a head start
[03:32:19] <Subsentient> Want me to forward it to you? He didn't know you already started training and wanted to start it himself.
[03:32:02] <Subsentient> mrcoolbp: Yes.
[03:30:58] <mrcoolbp> Subsentient: did you get any response from LamX yet?
[03:29:54] <mrcoolbp> yes, those look good
[03:29:53] <Subsentient> There is nothing else to edit. The rest of the stories are all derpisms filled with unicode tests.
[03:29:15] <Subsentient> mrcoolbp: Correct lol. I fixed a couple of things and the titles and missing punctuation but the rest looked fine
[03:28:27] <mrcoolbp> Subsentient: not sure a whole lot of editing went into those submissions
[03:26:57] * mrcoolbp is doin' some admin-y stuff
[03:26:53] <Subsentient> Oh, could you review the two top submissions of mine on dev.SN and see if it looks good to you?
[03:26:36] <Subsentient> mrcoolbp: So what now?
[03:26:17] * mrcoolbp runs
[03:25:59] * aqu4 grins ominously
[03:25:49] <Subsentient> mrcoolbp: heheheheh
[03:25:36] <mrcoolbp> I just don't trust her shifty eyes
[03:25:18] <Subsentient> I didn't think so :^)
[03:25:13] <Subsentient> :^3
[03:25:11] <mrcoolbp> I don't think so = )
[03:24:35] <Subsentient> mrcoolbp: Now for the moment you can also do something else. You could OP aqu4 and deop everyone else, and she'd manage the channel. Dunno if that appeals to you, but it obviously appeals to me :^D
[03:24:13] <mrcoolbp> I had mentioned it at some point, but like the editor team, the devs are overworked and understaffed
[03:23:53] <mrcoolbp> could try TheMightyBuzzard too (not in this channel currently), or open up a github issue
[03:23:24] <mrcoolbp> Subsentient: agreed, that is a hinderance to learning, we need to pester paulej72 about labeling those
[03:21:39] <Subsentient> mrcoolbp: Alright then. So the time control is the main thing. The thing that bothers me also is many of the input boxes for the editor are not labeled with no obvious purpose
[03:20:35] <Subsentient> Ahh.
[03:20:30] <mrcoolbp> we try to keep the "presses rolling" so to speak
[03:20:11] * Subsentient snarls
[03:20:04] <mrcoolbp> basically
[03:19:52] <Subsentient> mrcoolbp: So you just kinda hope that two more editors go and sign off and if not it goes live?
[03:19:12] <mrcoolbp> Subsentient: right now, editors keep "display" checked, the colors help us know which stories have been signed off on by more then one editor, occasionally stories go out that are still "red" though
[03:17:44] <Subsentient> ?
[03:17:43] <Subsentient> So the last guy who checks a story is responsible for editing it and publishing it/
[03:17:02] <mrcoolbp> okay, did that help?
[03:16:46] <Subsentient> mrcoolbp: yes, it's about getting the controls down
[03:14:45] <mrcoolbp> Subsentient: if you dont' want it to "go live" like I said, you could uncheck display, maybe even leave a note that they should set to display once they've checked, but again, we're still only on dev, and no one will be double checking the stories there
[03:13:45] <Subsentient> mrcoolbp: How can I edit an article yet allow it to be signed off on by other editors?
[03:12:57] <mrcoolbp> what can I do for you Subsentient?
[03:12:27] <mrcoolbp> yoyo
[03:12:01] <Subsentient> mrcoolbp: hi
[03:01:16] * aqu4 chucks a nasty, rotten burrito at Subsentient
[03:01:16] <mrcoolbp> $burrito Subsentient
