Q&A

Welcome to Codidact Meta!

Codidact Meta is the meta-discussion site for the Codidact community network and the Codidact software. Whether you have bug reports or feature requests, support questions or rule discussions that touch the whole network – this is the site for you.

Comments on "User Profile" should be more informative.

"User Profile" should be more informative.

I think the current information in a user profile is very limited . In my opinion, the following information should be added:

Visible to all users

  • The number of questions and answers

  • The number of helpful flags, posts edited by the user, and people reached

  • Tags involved by the user's activities together with associated statistics

  • Last seen

  • How long the user has been a member of the community

Visibe to the account holder

  • detailed voting information

Why is knowing such information useful?

In my opinion, to improve the community performance, we need to examine how the community members contribute in their membership duration.

For example, if we see that many new users are willing more to asking questions, we may need set some policies or rules to encourage them to contribute answering posts.

Another example, if we see that many old users are not willing to flag inappropriate posts, we may need to improve flagging policy.

Another example, it may be useful to examine why many users occasionally contribute to a community.

Another example, if we know that the number of "people reached" is high enough for some users, we can conclude that they may be interested enough to contribute to others' posts.

Finally, I think knowing the last information mentioned above, "visible to the account holder", is very helpful for any user; I think it is clear enough and does not need more explanation.

Why? Not trying to be dismissive or anything, just wondering what you'd actually gain from seeing that information.
