Inspired by the confusion in https://meta.codidact.com/posts/290048 , I'd like to propose a UI enhancement. Using a spinner for this value doesn't make a lot of sense, since the user needs to think...
I'm trying to make a filter for "Not that negative" posts, imagining "Net score > -2," but the UI of the filter creator only lets you put in Min Score between 0 and 1, with a step size on the sp...
Should you assume knowledge of all site rules? Should you assume knowledge of only "main" site rules but not all? I'm not sure what distinction you are trying to make here between "all si...
When giving feedback (comments, edits, reactions) what is the appropriate tone? In other words, how should you phrase your feedback? Should you assume knowledge of all site rules? Should you a...
I think the basic question is: Would future readers of the question want to see it? The main way to use a Q&A site is not to ask or answer questions, but to view existing posts. A post ma...
Not allowing fluff was the norm Elsewhere, and I consider it the norm here unless explicitly stated to the contrary. I am not aware of a community here that has stated they like content-free greet...
Should we remove such fluff? ... If we should remove fluff, should we remove all kinds of fluff? Or are there exceptions? (e.g. "emoticons are fine"). ... Does (or should) the policy depend on wh...
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...
There is this question, revision 1. It contains several fragments I call "fluff": Opening phrase, greeting: Hello fellow community Cliché: Your help would be greatly appreciated ...
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...
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...
Users vs. questions Personally, I don't care much, if at all, about the motivation behind a question - as long as it isn't a thinly veiled rant or other sort of soapboxing (i.e. is genuinely a que...
It's common to hear comments about QA sites being "cluttered", "clogged", "spammed" etc. Even disregarding advertising / off-topic astroturfing etc. (the sort of thing that the "It's spam" fla...
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...
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 ...
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...
Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day. Then tomorrow, he'll ask for another fish. And you give it to him then too, so he comes back the next day. And the next. And at some point it's no longer...
My answers would be that: It's okay to ask here even if the answer is readily available elsewhere There is no minimum level of research, beyond ensuring it's clear what's being asked It is not...
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...
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...
I invested tremendous resources into producing quality content, and marketing it. Starting from zero to me is excessive. I'd like some way to display my SE progress directly and visibly on my Codi...
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 ...
I noticed an anomaly when I went to edit a question. The tags in the display mode don't match the tags in the edit mode. I didn't change the tags, that's how they initialized when I opened the ed...
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...
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...
