in reply to RAT display problems (updated)

Hi

this was already discussed, probably in the CB. IIRC it's one of the new servers running in wrong timezone.

> even though it is no longer a root node

I think the vast majority of re-parented nodes are normally replies and the system is not capable yet to handle root nodes properly.

It was me who considered this node, but I'd rather preferred to reap this kind of annoying "troll-fanboy-spam", alas this didn't seem covered by our policy yet.

(Down-voting it seven times should help though ... ;-)

The author knew that he should have replied, in case he tries this stunt again for his propaganda I'd suggest reaping. Quantity over quality shouldn't be accepted.

    this was already discussed, probably in the CB. IIRC it's one of the new servers running in wrong timezone.

    It was mentioned in my thread here in PMD too: Timezone wobble

      Time zone calculation math. Urgh! Tom Scott has a nice explanation/rant on this topic over on the YouTubes.

      tl;dr: Don't do time zone math, you'll go insane.
