It should be a flag. If a post needs author attention, then it's not ready to be answered and should be closed. Until we get a better close mechanism, this is the only way ordinary users can cont...
I don't know about eventually, but while codidact is still getting started, it's better to not splinter communities. Critical mass is make or break for communities. Getting to that critical mass i...
This is an interesting proposal. Although I think it would be detrimental in its current form, I'd like to emphasise that I would like to see more discussion of potential modifications to the way t...
Although I have just created my first new tag as a fairly new user and thus profited from the current liberal approach, I would propose to raise the bar for creating a tag to the same threshold as ...
I like the idea of adding a way to "co-sign" a comment -- the "me too" part of this proposal. I don't think we should also add "disagree" using that mechanism, though. Disagreement should be expl...
Nowadays, Codidact has a Discord server. Discord supports forum-like channels. Codidact look that needs to increment the daily activity (more daily new questions and answers). Stack Overflow ...
The sorting buttons at the top of a category's post list have title text which appears on hovering with a mouse, but this is not available on mobile devices. "Activity", "Age", and "Score" are r...
Awkward workaround is acceptable until this feature is implemented You are correct, there is not yet a better way to contact a moderator than the awkward workaround you mentioned (flagging an unre...
Thank you for this suggestion. I agree that this is a gap we should address. We're currently working on improvements to moderator tools that include letting moderators initiate private discussion...
Some thoughts: If e.g. profanity in tags is becoming an issue, that should definitely be dealt with, perhaps with a regex filter. (If a community runs into the Scunthorpe problem this way, a f...
I think this has come up before, maybe tangentially on some specific site (EE.CD ?), but I lost track of the posts/comments. Anyway, I think it would be useful, at least for EE.CD, but I post here...
I just created a bug report post about notifications in the inbox. When applying tags for my post, I typed in "notifications". That resulted in two tags [tag:notification] and [tag:notifications]. ...
I have noticed a user that I suspect may be posting AI generated content. What should I do in such a situation? I don't want to go into exactly why I think it's an AI. Suffice to say, I work on LL...
Currently, when I look at search results, or the list of posts on my user profile, I get results that look like: I have two objections. In my view: Answers should show the tags of the corre...
There are some good reasons to prevent question deletion when answers exist. There are users that believe the correct course of action is to "clean up" their instance of communication on the site, ...
I just made a comment on another Meta post because I wasn't sure whether something in someone else's answer was a typo, or if so what the correct wording should be. It turned out that my best guess...
I think there's nothing wrong with a community deciding to be multilingual or non-English monolingual, but given the impacts on moderation requirements, site technology, usage patterns, etc., I thi...
Your three pillars seem like a good way to describe three orthogonal aspects of question quality. However, you have devalued your own "question" here by introducing personal values onto your three...
Regarding the "5 second google" part: We did discuss this very thing at some point over at Software Development Questions easily answered by studying a beginner-level book. There were lots of dive...
I want to question the premise of this question. In the title, you wrote: Is it okay to ask a question because you're too lazy/bored to figure it out yourself? but in the question body, you ...
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...
status-completed Just a minor concern: I don't think a single person should be the point of contact, maybe set up something like access@codidact.org. That is, if it even needs a dedicated mail a...
Such questions are accepted and encouraged, by design It's not our idea, or a new idea, either. It's fundamental to the design and concept of Q&A sites, Codidact included. People who actually...
It is common nowadays for social technology to include a “feed” of some kind, most usually as the landing page upon logging in. One can without difficulty produce some conventional arguments in fav...
I like this idea, but I wonder if it should be optional. For the link to search results that you mention, that sounds sufficiently unobtrusive that perhaps it wouldn't need to be optional. I think...
