Are there any rules about a user having multiple Codidact accounts (sometimes known as sockpuppet accounts)? What should a user do if they suspect another user has multiple accounts?
Just some thoughts, not anything like an official answer or even a coherent policy proposal: I find the idea of using different names in different communities completely innocuous. Privacy is co...
Just like on SE, things are vastly different between individual sites. You say you came from StackOverflow. Our most similar site is Software Development. It does seem to have reasonable activit...
I generally don't think this is a good idea. As you note, status-completed tags work fine for noting that a Meta process has run its course. If such a process has run its course - why not use the s...
A preferences problem highlighted in an answer on Software Development Meta appears to have been somewhat fixed, but leaving an inconsistency with the guidance on the preferences page. At the top ...
I think saving the text even when closing a window is good, we should just change the explanation to Changes are automatically saved
It would be bad to prevent deleting questions by simply commenting on them, because the comments could point out why the question actually can't be salvaged from OP's perspective. Currently, commen...
It is worth noting that we don't need to have the thread be deleted. Threads on Codidact can be locked and archived. Archived threads are still available for viewing, but cannot be commented on[1] ...
In addition to what Mithical said (+1), if we do ever get a direct message system, it must be opt-out by default. In other words, it must take a deliberate action by a user before they can receive...
It seems almost taken for granted on every Codidact site - even Languages & Linguistics - that questions and answers are supposed to be written in English, although I can't find any official po...
We don't have a form, but you can email us to request this. From the privacy policy: As an international organisation, we extend the rights granted by the EU GDPR to everyone. Therefore, all ou...
Currently, the help center has a list of user abilities, with sub-pages for each of the entries, to elaborate on them. The help center should also have an entry for "Participate", the first ability...
Thanks for the report. The approval failed because the edit added a moderator-only tag -- default-rules on Code Golf, like the status-* tags, can only be added by moderators. But they can be sugg...
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...
We have a change pending to remove this non-flag from the flag list. (There's a story there that I'll get back to.) To the point raised in another answer, people can still use "other" to request ...
For a QA site to be good, it's important to have high-quality questions. The community is a great resource for guiding askers with the technical tools that CD provides. However, it is helpful for t...
When you vote on a post, and it later gets edited, should you get a notification? Say you upvoted something because you liked it. But then it got edited and you don't like the new version. You mig...
Currently, when pasting a link to somewhere on Codidact, into posts or comments, the link is rendered in the output the same way it's written in the post source; that is, the URL. The parser should...
Monica already gave a good explanation of the issues with imports, so I'll focus on the other approaches described. About question selection We could just focus on the obscure questions to attr...
If it's possible to characterize the problem as being caused by "That Guy" - i.e., a singular person behind it all - then unless the problem involves a botnet or something, it's small enough that w...
The ability is based on the Wilson score of all your edit suggestions, yes, so that one declined one counts against you. There's been lots of discussion about (a) whether the thresholds are too hi...
When uploading an image on a Codidact community, users are prompted to add alt text - a text alternative to an image - for that image. If they go to submit a post without doing so, or when submitti...
Apparently the owner of a post cannot approve a pending suggested edit on that post. I'm not sure if this is a bug report or a feature request, but either way, I propose that the post owner should...
This is a bug in the front end (fix is under review now), but despite the incorrectly-shown message, you can in fact approve edits to your own posts. The buttons are active and they work. We're s...
For bugs, you can use answers to add more information if you have it, for example if you've seen the reported problem under different circumstances or if you have seen something work that is report...
