Background: the information content being presented In principle, the number of upvotes and number of downvotes on a post are two orthogonal pieces of information, that collectively tell you the c...
GitHub issue: https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/issues/1109 At the top of the posts list, the total number of posts is shown on the left. Hovering the mouse pointer over this number shows ...
Back in the real old days, we had a real long discussion about reputation and privileges (exhibit A, B, C and likely many other discussions in other threads). What emerged from those discussions w...
The number of /.../ posts edited by the user This information is already basically available. Fair enough, it's not the number of posts edited, but the number of edits made. If you open a user's ...
Currently, we're planning to implement a system for user privileges based on Trust Levels. These are of the form of 'if you satisfy [these requirements], you get [these perks]', where [these requir...
An example where an exact search returns no results for the copy and pasted title. "Should we display the number of views?" https://meta.codidact.com/posts/search?utf8=✓&search="Should+we...
Update: The reputation number in the header has been added back again for the time being, until we have found a suitable solution. This is just a quick heads up, that you are, indeed, not crazy ...
We didn't set out to have a reputation stat, but because we started by adapting code that had it, we started out that way. When we brought up removing it, a few people objected strongly. (See, fo...
I understand what is happening right here(with the counting). In Codegolf, sequence tag has 5 posts. But, it only has 4 question I was searching for the issue. What is wrong with the code? T...
Wary of trying to be too general Although I like the idea of this for making sure indications of interest don't last indefinitely on Codidact Proposals, trying to find a general use for expiring r...
I thought the best way to respond to this answer would be with a sketch. The answer raises a few key points: Show me my communities (not all of them), in an order I choose. Show me where there...
Elaborating on the thoughts of @PeterCooperJr., it might be sensible to provide some meta statistics on each site on the main and / or "Ask Question" page. For example, it might be viable to disp...
Sometimes the number of posts indicated in the tags list does not match the number of posts displayed for that tag. This appears to be due to the inclusion of deleted posts in the displayed number....
Every user already has an associated unique number (it's in your profile URL). The easiest way to distinguish user names for deleted users would be to use that number. This is what SE does. A co...
If 2 or more posts on a page contain footnotes with the same number, they all link to the footnote that appears earliest on the page. For example, the question How should a Codidact public API wor...
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...
A thought not really on the content, but on the structure: It might be good to have some way to easily insert new Articles, within Titles, without needing contortions like calling something Article...
Now that we've seen several community proposals, some of which succeeded and some of which have run into hurdles, I want to look at how we're managing and tracking proposals. While there will alwa...
Whatever it is called, we still need a nice simple single number that is a rough measure of how much good content someone has contributed, as judged by all others on that site. "Reputation" is a r...
This discussion has been split into the following posts: Enlarge font size for number of answers? Streamline the top? Move Meta to the top row? Align Right "last activity" phrase? Move posted...
I notice that a number is displayed as the hovertext / tooltip when hovering over the voting buttons and current score of a post. Would it be helpful for the hovertext to include a brief descriptio...
From our earliest discussions of what the Codidact platform would be, we've known that we had to tackle comments. Comments are very important for giving feedback and asking for clarifications. So...
The team has made some improvements to search, including the following new options (taken from the search help): filtering by user If you want to search for posts written by a particular user...
This is my suggestion for how to implement hobbling of users who consistently post low-quality content. For a final decision, when a user saves a post: First, look at their most recent post of ...
