Before starting the concern, I want to appreciate and acknowledge the community team for their volunteer efforts to run Codidact and handle its issues as far as they can. When I sometimes talk to s...
The Codidact community team have accepted to be the staff and run the community. So, in my opinion, if Codidact is an aspiring platform, one may expect that they work as paid staff do. Am I right?...
If you wish the staff to start acting like paid employees, maybe you should discuss how you can pay them. Maybe set up some kind of foundation that funds Codidact servers and pays the wages of a st...
Update: The answer has been edited and undeleted. The last paragraph - the one calling for staff to step down if they cannot make Codidact their top priority - has been removed, since that constitu...
Follow normal procedures. If there's a post attacking a particular user or group of users, the appropriate thing to do is to flag and let one of the mods/staff deal with it. If someone disagrees w...
I have no real objection if others want a community wiki (or whatever it should be called) post type, but want to point out that these never really worked right on SE. I'm very unlikely to make of...
If you create such a feature, at least make it optional per site with the default off. I would be strongly opposed to any direct import from anywhere else to the Electrical Engineering site, for e...
It should be possible for you to fix your mistake by, if nothing else, deleting the post and re-posting it with the correct license. Doing so would effectively dual-license it, under CC-BY-SA and C...
Considering the planned differences between sites (autonomy with respect to various policies, different categories, etc.), I think the interaction between sites (except Meta) should be kept to a mi...
Sometimes when stumbling across a question I wonder if I should upvote / downvote or not. When this happened on SE sites, I hovered over the buttons and read the description. Currently, Codidact se...
I've seen a pattern of certain users downvoting on site proposals, not because they are against the proposal itself but rather against the concept of launching a new community. Without calling out ...
To address the issue about the position of the up/down vote buttons, instead of having them exist in a static position at the top or bottom of the post, why not have the whole voting widget move as...
Should it be correct etiquette for the asker to leave a comment saying "Thanks" or the like on helpful answers? That's something a community should decide on its own; it doesn't need to be the...
On Code Golf: https://codegolf.codidact.com/categories/49 "Hello, World!" is listed as including 20 answers. On the actual page: https://codegolf.codidact.com/questions/279147 it says 18 answe...
That should already be possible for every user with the Curate ability. There's a little "Tools" link below the post, which can be clicked and where "Change category" should be an option.
Recent comments (e.g., https://meta.codidact.com/mod/comments ) could use some improvements. Five specific things that come to mind: 1 - A reference above each comment showing the post title. This...
A "minor" toggle on edits makes sense even if there's no mechanism to hide minor edits from the history, if people can filter them out visually. I think this can serve some use; I've sometimes used...
This is still an early iteration of this feature, so we expect there to be requests for improvements or tweaks to it — post them here! A community should have the ability to reject a specific ...
Moderators can now see a list of promoted posts and can remove a question from the list there. I acknowledge the imbalance: anyone with the Curate ability can nominate, but only moderators can rem...
This is very half-baked and just brainstorming at the moment, but it'd be good if askers received some sort of feedback that people were working on responding to them. Right now, some questions sit...
Tl;dr, as long as you state any affiliation, you're fine Refer to the promotional content guidelines Reproduced here: You must explicitly state your affiliation. If you're linking your dra...
I agree with @Alexei. While Superuser and Linux is for OS but, Office Suites isn't. So, it is better to separate them. I have actually added a proposal on it. I am adding some more information for...
Quoting parts of questions in answers is a problem because it prevents the legitimacy of a question's OP to try to improve a bad question in case community members think the question is bad by he...
If a user is moderator in SE than that person can be moderator in Codidact. But, if no moderator joins the Codidact than does it mean Codidact can't get any moderators. While those peoples can b...
It's been a while since I asked this question. In the meantime we've launched several communities that weren't transplants from SE, so most of our communities didn't start with "imported moderator...
