Nice opers here, no one got kicked!

Strange, no op was given on #C++-general!

Wow, no op was taken on #C++-general!

pasteldepelo always lets us know what he/she's doing: 1 actions!
For example, like this:
* pasteldepelo wonders why all this complexity to enable import std
Also, acsvln_ tells us what's up with 1 actions.

Kill-Animals talks to him/herself a lot. He/She wrote over 5 lines in a row 1 times!

Nobody is foul-mouthed in #C++-general! Get out much?
