If you know that an issue is specific to our network and not the code, please use Meta. This could include things like editing the help or changing configuration settings. If you don't know (that...
When Scientific Speculation was populated with questions and answers from Worldbuilding SE, it also inherited the Worldbuilding SE set of tags. Specifically for the purposes of this question, it in...
Article 17.1 disallows successive warnings within two years. I don't think that's best. The second malfeasance may be of a different type from the first or a lesser degree than the first, in either...
Update: Based on this question, this answer, feedback on both, the original spec for trust levels, and lots of discussion in chat, I've posted a new specification for privileges on the wiki. Key d...
We had (and unfortunately still have) a nasty troll, that attempts to downvote all the questions and creates sock accounts for that to escape suspensions. To stop them, we had to employ some limita...
A related question is whether advertising Codidact as a whole even makes sense, or if we should focus on advertising certain sites to their relevant communities. The latter is likely more effective...
I would like to get notifications about post which I participate in. Is there a way for me to subscribe to a specific question (or to all I have participated in)?
The Codidact functional specification calls for changes to answer ordering; we just haven't gotten that far in implementation yet. (Scroll down to the "Votes and Scores" section.) For each questi...
That could get noisy if it were the default behavior. But maybe we should consider, instead, an option where you can choose to be notified of new activity on a specific post. We already have an o...
I'm a bit hesitant to write this since it's not generally a good idea to walk into a host's house and immediately criticize the way it's laid out. But there really is only one chance to make first ...
Welcome to Codidact! This option refers to large-scale data imports that we performed on a couple communities - such as Writing and Outdoors - when we first started in 2019. However, we soon disco...
The communities "drop-down"/"switcher" menu next to the user profile could do with a few tweaks. The communities appearing there are sorted after order of community creation. That is: Writing, Codi...
4. Does (or should) the policy depend on which community (i.e. which subsite of codidact.com) the post belongs to? Yes. Different communities, although using the same software, can and will h...
December 2023 Editor preview now alerts you to HTML that will be stripped out before posting. (The preview renderer and the final rendering sometimes do not match because the client and server n...
Related: Incubator (takes all questions that aren't ontopic anywhere else) community We currently use posts in the Site Proposals category to organize proposals for new communities on our networ...
You seem to have run afoul of one of our system blocks. This particular system is usually engaged by a pattern of poor behavior across multiple accounts. While I can't detail exactly how this syst...
I was surprised to find that ordinary user privileges allow me to close my own posts unilaterally. It does seem useful; just now I posted something on Linux Systems and realized it needed some fixe...
On EE.CO we have some tags that are utterly useless, but people keep on using them, for example voltage. For non-experts: voltage is one of the main physical quantity used to describe the behavior...
This has been fixed, thank you. I've restored it to the version last updated on March 9th, 2023, according to my local files from when we were making changes at the time. (Although since it only we...
As a general rule: yes, for personal use there's no issue with that. Caveats: First & foremost, this is a general rule - if we discover requests or usage that looks like a problem we'll want...
An answer in the Linux Codidact is using the price of solid state drives and hard disks to clarify its point, and does so by linking to these products in Amazon. Leaving my personal judgement of A...
There are things I like here, but I don't think all of it will work. I like the following: Welcoming specific questions rather than only general questions. Including hints at more general solu...
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 ...
Here's the list of supported tags and attributes, pulled straight from the current code: self.tags = %w[a p span b i em strong hr h1 h2 h3 h4 h5 h6 blockquote img strike del code p...
You can. On the user's profile, click "Moderator tools" and then choose "privileges" from there. (I'm sorry about the unclear name there.) This takes you to a page where you can grant or suspe...
