I am a new user to Codidact that just migrated from StackOverflow and there are some things I would like to get across. Welcome to Codidact! Thank you for sharing your suggestions for improvem...
Psychology In sum: I think the social problems here have more to do with communication than they do with policy, and I'm extremely wary of softening policy in order to avoid hurting anyone's feeli...
As things stand, the options for flagging a question seem rather spartan: Image of flagging dialog We have: two options for actual abusive use of the site software an option for dupli...
I don't believe this is something that we're considering for the general userbase, for several reasons. Our mission The mission of the Codidact Network is to provide a space for communities to sh...
Not allowing fluff was the norm Elsewhere, and I consider it the norm here unless explicitly stated to the contrary. I am not aware of a community here that has stated they like content-free greet...
I'm not quite sure what you mean by "shadowban", but this does pretty much exist already. Most communities on the network - I believe all of them except for Electrical Engineering at the moment - ...
I'm trying to make a filter for "Not that negative" posts, imagining "Net score > -2," but the UI of the filter creator only lets you put in Min Score between 0 and 1, with a step size on the sp...
Counter-proposal: how about if we add the rep settings at the top of the Vote Summary page, instead of computing and adding them to each entry? I'm imagining something like this: Reputation for...
Site-level settings These settings apply across all parts of a community. Unless the category-level settings say otherwise, they can't be overridden for individual categories. General: Name ...
When collecting feedback, it helps to reduce barriers as much as possible. A common (and useful) technique is to have a little popup asking for a rating. Usually this is a Likert scale with a promp...
Thank you very much for this feedback. Seeing our platform through the eyes of a newcomer is very valuable, and there's a limited time window to capture those impressions. I'm going to comment on...
Various places in Codidact where a user enters text seem to have a minimum character requirement. If you enter fewer characters than that, the system keeps the "submit post" button greyed out, pop...
Each category header includes an "Edits" link, which is a link to a list of pending suggested edits in the current category. But nothing alerts people with the ability to approve those edits that ...
On Stack Exchange, I spent a significant portion of my time on the site editing posts, because the idea of an SE site as a repository of useful reference information has long appealed to me. Being...
Here is a redraft and elaboration of what this post is about, partially in response to some comments I've received. This post may be about a few different things at once, and may need to be refact...
How would people feel about a network-wide convention of abbreviated URLs having the form, https://<topic>.cd? For example, a shortened URL for a philosophy site would be https://philosophy....
Currently when viewing a post, there is no indication that it's being used as a duplicate target. As a curator, it's useful information to me that when I view a question, I am also informed if any...
Context The footer of all pages on the Codidact network looks something like this: Pros Looks neat Cons As more and more communities emerge and the network grows, this list of "Other C...
I rejected several of the edits as post author, not as a moderator. Edits to the content were trivial at best, usually none. One suggested edit made the title longer without adding any meaning, t...
If edits are made to a large number of posts in a short period, they will push everything else off the front page, taking visibility away from recent questions and answers. They will also take visi...
New information or critical edits Adding new information or making edits which need to be done as soon as possible (maybe to remove dangerous information or something). -> go for it! Useful, ...
Update: the 500 error is now fixed; if you pull the Qpixel develop branch you'll pick this up. See below for a workaround in the meantime. (The seeding problem that caused the 500 error isn't fix...
(I realize that this proposal might ruffle some feathers. Please read through it in full before knee-jerk voting. Also, I use "anonymous" in the proposal text for simplicity, but it would really be...
I'm not opposed in principle, but I don't think the amount of work is likely worthwhile. I imagine this sets you up for weird bugs far into the future. One person can have any number of email ...
Yes, please! I think this is a great idea. Generally, I think requiring email verification is dumb. For this site it's doubly so. You did a great job enumerating all the reasons and I agree with t...
