When I log in, I get someone else's username
Did this happen on the mobile site or the full site?

I agree; I like to keep in in-ecosystem as much as possible.

Does the serial down voting algorithm take previous behavior into account?
Did a quick check; looks like these -3 were not from the same user as the first -10

Community Promotion Ads - 2014
Subtly amusing, but no - not really in the spirit of the site. I'd hate to see someone take it seriously.

Why is rudeness tolerated?
Also, for what it's worth, hanging out in the chat room is no guarantee of leniency. Obviously we can't name names, but we've had to give a slap on the wrist or even suspensions to many high-rep users for any number of things over the years, even to those who hang out in chat. We don't like giving anyone a slap on the wrists or a suspension, but we do it when we need to.

Why is rudeness tolerated?
I typically only see rudeness to people who have been rude first; such as people who put no effort into their question (not searching first, just dumping a whole log without explanation, typical "Do my job for me" questions) or by people who take offense to people telling them that they're way off track and doing it wrong. Can you provide some examples?

Moderation Overkill on serverfault
Not going to get into this particular discussion; just a quick note - the only moderator attention on that question was from someone who answered it; the 5 people that closed it were not moderators

Sure, we like the IDEA of voting, but we are poor in our actions
@TheCleaner - you can't; it's data presented to ourselves as mods (and only about mods)

Should folks have to click through an interstitial page to ask questions on Server Fault?
It's not on?! What's all that "Shown how to ask and skipped" flag that we always see?

How many "bad" questions come from unregistered users versus registered users?
Now that we have the stats, how do you intend on using them? Is it based on volume of bad questions, or the percentage? 256 bad questions in 2 months isn't so bad compared to 2,181 bad questions from registered users. That's (at a very rough estimate) about 1/5th of bad questions are from unregistered users. And then what about the 43% that weren't bad questions?

What are the canonical answers we've discovered over the years?
Added my networking canonical into two places, as it fits in both networking && datacentre design

New User wizard
@TheCleaner - Basically yes. We hired a 30-year-old who is basically a large man-child about a year ago. He keeps me up to date on my slang (he also got me fist-bumping and using "dude"). For the record I'm only 27 but I feel much older :p
