One advantage of threaded comments is that the exchange isn't in anybody's way. If User A posts, User B comments, User A says "thanks, fixed", and nothing else happens, no harm done. If that's th...
Now that there is a separate Proposals site with its own Meta and other categories, that would seem to qualify as a separate "Codidact Community" which should be listed among the "Other Codidact Co...
Currently the old Site Proposals category points to the new Proposals community, presumably as a temporary measure until people get used to the new community. This is not ideal, as described in the...
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...
Your question is unclearly written. I'm not sure what your "assertion about the importance of a 'mature understanding' being desirable" specifically refers to. My guess is the assertion "it is help...
By my understanding, one of the key features of the Codidact network is that individual communities are more in control of their local policies. In particular, it appears that community moderators ...
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 happens to me all the time that I write a comment - as the first of a new thread of comments - and then either overlook giving it a title, or expect that the default title will be good enough an...
The presence of an answer already blocks deletion (except by moderators, who can override this). Allowing the presence of a comment to prevent deletion would be too easy to abuse, as pointed out i...
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...
In addition to what Monica wrote, yes, a bug report or a feature request is indeed a "call-to-action to the developers", and as such can only really be answered by the developers. Let me introduce...
Jon Ericson takes the opposite position: find the miscreants as quickly as possible. My thinking has been heavily influenced by this philosophy of moderation written by the late Shamus Young. A ...
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...
"Score" isn't net votes. It's the Wilson Score, where 0.5 is the midpoint. See Codidact's scoring help page.
Status completed: title length, body length, custom flags. -- Minimum title and body length are configurable per category. I'll lower the body length here on Meta; if other communities want to l...
Where to find information about the abilities, is currently a bit confusing. There are too many pages. The help page for abilities, as well as the dashboard, present pretty much the exact same inf...
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...
I was on the Software Dev CD tag page, clicking through the pages of the "Hierarchy" sort. I wanted to see if there were git-* tags that are not nested under the git tag.[1] Surprisingly, I discov...
I added a filter to exclude [tag:status-launched] and then sorted by score. I was redirected to https://meta.codidact.com/categories/10?predefined_filter=&min_score=&max_score=&min_answ...
This is a step in the right direction, but I think the new system will still have a few problems: Mixing all the question for all the proposals together in a single category will be quite off-putt...
Most of the time, any logged-in user can post a new top-level post (question, article, maybe other types). Categories can restrict this posting access, however. For example, on the Meta blog, onl...
As Monica already explained, making the software open-source does a lot to reduce the barrier to entry for competitors. This provides both an escape hatch in case Codidact does end up following SX,...
After a moderator has deleted an answer, it looks like this to the poster of the answer: If the poster of the answer clicks on "Restore", the action is prevented, and a message is shown at the t...
Writing and Outdoors both originally imported content from Stack Exchange, which was licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0[1]. As such, they needed to have that license available on those posts. Since then,...
