The reason Discord was chosen is disappointingly simple: It's just the chat software I used and knew best when I invited some people over from Stack Exchange to start this project. The Discord serv...
Based on the comment discussion, I can see no reason to consider support for syntax highlight hinting via HTML comments. "Code fences" have a built-in syntax highlighting suggestion and are all aro...
Clause 4 "Termination" of the Terms of Service contain this paragraph: You agree that if you engage in any conduct that contravenes these Terms, your right to use the Service may be revoked with...
We currently show who deleted a post -- regardless of whether anything was flagged -- to anybody who can see the post. This seems to me like a good thing for transparency. If it was your own post...
Should clicking on the question body preview in the question list take you to the question page, in the same way as clicking on the question title does? I personally would find this more convenien...
The “Copy Link” button below each post has been changed so that it now has a pop up offering either a raw link or a Markdown link: This always appears just below the button, even when the le...
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...
Leaving my personal judgement of Amazon apart, I would nonetheless remove the links as the prices are what is substantial to the answer, not the exact products in sale. If you remove the links...
I'm just writing an answer in Mathematics, and wanted to include an inequality: ..., if $m<n$, ... On typing this, I got the following message: Unsupported HTML detected The following HTML ...
Images should not be forced to have borders. If you are posting a diagram, for example, then it is already visually different from the rest of the post and the border may be confused as part of th...
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...
I was confused by the unusual layout of text below a post in the question list: Note the long gap after "posted 3y ago by". Viewing the individual question page shows the underlying cause: ...
In general we shouldn't allow user names that game the system or exploit loopholes with no real advantage to the user, and at the expense and annoyance of all the other users. The two dots with a ...
I'm going to categorize "improvements" into two main categories: "Social" and "Technical". On Social changes I'm categorizing Social changes as what you've termed "Site Concept" in the question. ...
Why the Incubator does not produce what it is intended for Example Persona Experience: Newbie-new-user comes to the Incubator as a fan of Movies, Worldbuilding - or ANY other non-existing com...
When a user deletes a question they posted, it shows with a notice which includes the following wording: The author of this post decided to delete it. It can only be seen by users with the Curat...
If a suggested edit is made on a question that has been deleted, the suggested edit is created successfully but does not show in the suggested edits list, even to users with the Curate ability (who...
Currently, when a question is closed, it is still possible to add an upvote or downvote. One possible reason for closing a question is to allow editing to improve, before re-opening. Would it be b...
I don't think it is necessary to define what a duplicate is for the whole network. Each community might have its own view and criteria when it comes to identifying duplicates and I think Codidact s...
There is no one, over-arching rule across the network. Communities are self-governing (within the limits of what we can host). I agree with this answer. Personally, I think duplicates should be ...
I agree we want to make it easier for those being recruited for a specific proposal to be able to focus on that proposal and not all the others. You can see all the posts for a proposal by startin...
I altered a few settings to give some options. None of these are finished but should hopefully give starting points for further discussion of which things to change and how much. The effects are ex...
Consider the following screenshot from the middle of a longer comment thread: So which text was written by Monica Cellio, the one above or the one below the attribution line? There is no visual ...
Thanks for the report - it looks like that step was missed when setting up those communities for whatever reason. I've gone and updated the site settings for both Outdoors and Proposals and they sh...
I've been thinking about abilities again lately (and for a while), because they're too hard to earn but just tweaking the Wilson numbers won't fix it. The fundamental problem is that a single nega...
