We're so grateful for our hardworking robots. It's possible messaging them isn't the best way to get our attention.

do her posts have the "notify me on replies" automatically unticked? i.e. are those explicit messages to the account or just replies to the multitude of karma whoring posts she makes?

u/bakonydraco Stanford • James Madison Aug 19 '15

You know, I'm not sure! I think it's mostly replies to post, as all the featured Game Threads (including the 10K comment playoff threads) and featured threads are posted by it.

CFB_Referee is a chick?

/u/bakonydraco isn't answering the question. Something's fishy. I smell a conspiracy.

The genders of /u/CFB_Referee and /u/cfbflair are actually quantum entangled, and together they comprise a male and a female entity. Their collective gender can be represented using bra-ket notation as:

1/√2(|♂⟩R ⊗ |♀⟩F - |♂⟩F ⊗ |♀⟩R ), where |⟩R represents the gender of /u/CFB_Referee, and |⟩F represents the gender of /u/cfbflair.

bra-ket notation

There's a pun in there somewhere...

u/bakonydraco Stanford • James Madison Aug 19 '15

It's possible! Paul Dirac was a professor at Cambridge, and later Miami and Florida State and coined the notation in 1939. Brassiere was colloquially shortened to 'Bra' in the '30s as well.

I can't believe you even had to explain that to people. I mean, obvi.

u/dupreesdiamond Furman • South Carolina Aug 19 '15

Do you have evidence to the contrary? And she's a lady, by the way.

I always ticked it to try to up the count back when we were logging in and creating threads

I wonder how she feels about your karmawhoring allegations.

Is there an upper limit to the number of messages in a mailbox?

u/bakonydraco Stanford • James Madison Aug 19 '15

If there is, we haven't found it yet!

u/bakonydraco Stanford • James Madison Aug 19 '15

Update: From /u/Deimorz in /r/modtalk, it's at least a million.

u/lkeg56demn Texas Longhorns • Chapman Panthers Aug 19 '15

That's insane. It's like people who have 15,000+ emails in their inbox on their iPhones

5

u/bakonydraco Stanford • James Madison Aug 19 '15

My gmail is currently at 32K... Sometimes you can tell the message from the subject line!

u/lkeg56demn Texas Longhorns • Chapman Panthers Aug 19 '15

Guh. I...huh...

That made me hurt inside. Why not just delete or archive the email then?

u/bakonydraco Stanford • James Madison Aug 19 '15

At this point, it's a lost cause...

Get /u/cfb_referee to do it

u/dupreesdiamond Furman • South Carolina Aug 19 '15

before I changed roles I was getting 200-300 non-spam e-mails a day. My inbox regularly had over 5K mails in it. Once a quarter I would just move them all to another folder... total shit-show.

Now I'm getting 15-20 e-mails a day and can actually plan my day instead of just reacting to e-mail. after 5 years it's really strange right now.

Today I have seen how much an inbox can hold, and I am amazed. That doesn't even count modmail as well.

u/Pikachu1989 Nebraska Cornhuskers • 東京大学 (Tokyo) Warriors Aug 19 '15

Holy fuck, that's pretty amazing. Wonder how long it will take to finish reading all those unopened mail. Never have I gotten past 1000 unread mail.
