Blame AutoRaja

—devadutta @ 01:31

Long long ago, so long ago, no one can say how long ago, we had promised that we would manually check every answer modded by AutoRaja to spot errors. Unfortunately, manually checking every answer is insanely hard.

So, we request you to help us find modding errors by reporting it to us.

We have made it super simple for you to report errors. When you are logged in, you will see a “Blame AutoRaja” link on any answer you have posted. If you click on that, we will get a notification and we will manually review the answer and assign points if it has not been done.

If you are not logged in or if you do not have a registered user name, you can do it the old fashion way and send us a note at [email protected]

Hope this feature makes your life a little easier :)

Whew! We are back on schedule! Finally! Those darn Gremlins are very hard to beat. Good news is, the battle is won. But, the war is still on. So, we request you to do the following

  1. Not only did we post a lot of questions, but we also modded a whole bunch of pending ones. So, please **check your scores and **run-lengths. If we have missed giving you points, or if you have missed posting an answer because there were way too many open questions and you forgot to post etc, we will work with you to fix it. Please send us a note at [email protected]
  2. Please let us know if we have no modded a question posted before Feb 1.
