One comment removed for not answering the question

No need for apologies, it's not spamming! Something seems to be up server side, have tagged frimble to look into.

I ended up emailing you to your gmail with the statement to verify things! Sorry for all the tech issues!

Hey chasles, was just about to email you, as we got three emails from you with your statement. I'm going to take one of them and toss it in a Google Doc for your to verify it's correct, will send the link to that Google doc in a few minutes.

One comment removed for veering off into a recommendation about whether to use AI/Chatbot in general, which did not answer the question.

Please help keep AskMetaFilter threads on topic by addressing the question asked, thanks!

paduasoy: "I suppose what I meant about where to report this is more, is there any point? Is this useful to the site?

Screenshots of the error would be best, but lacking that, a note would be fine, be it email or a MeTa post, just so we can tell if something is going on for a lot of people or just a few. I don't see an error recorded for the glitches you mention paduasoy.

But I am currently just using the free version UptimeRobot, the paid version of Cloudflare no doubt has more robust monitoring. I don't have access to that yet, frimble is working on getting me access, not current eta on that.

One deleted: duplicate comment.

Posting about server errors is fine here or folks can make a MetaTalk post or email mods via the Contact Us form. Thanks!

Several comments deleted. As Brandon pointed out, name calling goes against the Content Guidelines but moreover, Press Butt.on to Check and Pseudonymous Cognomen please take a step back and let the conversation move on without your participation, this is not a thread for you to pick a fight with one another.

Pseudonymous Cognomen: "
lol a turd calling the kettle shit

Oh look, one of MeFi's resident genocide apologists has something to say! (you can fuck off, btw.)"

Press Butt.on to Check: "lol a turd calling the kettle shit"

Both of you need to knock off the name calling right now, it goes against the Content Guidelines. If y'all continue that line of behavior, you may be removed from the site.

This thread is about one of the most hated people in the world, y'all have a big target in him if dislike needs to expressed. There's no need to turn that on other members of the site.
