Codidact and TopAnswers are independent projects, which share much of the same sentiment: a free and open source platform for Q&A with focus on the communities. I think their relationship can b...
It is probably not controversial to say that if you're creating a tag, you should add a description for it. Otherwise, how will anyone else know what you intended the tag to be used for? Unfortuna...
There is a difference between a flag ("this requires action that only a moderator can take") and a downvote, which expresses an opinion about the post that the community can decide how to respond t...
Partial answer, which I hope to flesh out later (but probably won't have time today): I hope that people will ask questions here, regardless of whether they've been asked elsewhere, when someone h...
Any text you didn't write yourself must be set off in a quote box and attributed. I believe this is already existing policy, and applies regardless of where the quoted text came from (like anoth...
October 2024 The user profile now includes the "all communities" tab, which links to all of the user's profiles on the network. Along with each link it shows the total number of posts and rep...
Several discussions have touched on the idea of being able to filter the contents of the post list. Whether your goal is to find unanswered questions, hide closed questions, hide ignored tags, or ...
User names are less personal space than your profile description, and more in-your-face to other users. User names should therefore be more restricted than your personal profile description. User...
Previously, clicking on the icon for Notifications or Communities at the top right of the page resulted in the appropriate drop down panel appearing. Today, the panel only opens if the square area ...
I'm sorry if I didn't make the purpose of these posts clear enough. We are asking each individual community to talk about those communities. We're not looking for general suggestions like "use Re...
feature-request status-completed I think it would be useful to display the post above each comment page so that it's easy to reference it when writing your comments. Status completed:
I'm starting to see the first signs of the inevitable "homework dumps" on Software Development as the site is gaining traffic a bit. The criteria for a homework dump is roughly: A raw copy/paste...
Sometimes, there are issues that should not be made public (for instance, issues relating to security or privacy) and as such should not be posted here on Meta. Given the potential severity of thos...
It sounds like we want to temporarily revoke a person's ability to make lots of posts when recent quality is an issue. The Participate Everywhere ability allows one to post without limit. Nominal...
Currently the moderator icon is not consistent across views. See for example this post by Jirka Hanika, a moderator in Linguistics: And then see who it looks in his/her profile page: ...
I'm going to be a bit contrarian here. First, don't get me wrong. I am not arguing that a user should not be able to delete their own account. Of course a user should be able to delete their accou...
We generally attempt to contact users. We can't guarantee that the address originally provided still works, or that our message won't be filtered by your email provider, but we do make the attempt...
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...
As @Lundin stated in comments: Because they have 100 or so of them and we don't want to create 100 ghost towns? A community needs people and quality content. Without enough people, there w...
If you try to edit an comment and submit it with more than 500 characters, the site rejects your edit (500 error) but there is no visible explanation.
I think we should, voting score is a poor indicator of how useful a post is because most visitors aren't going to sign up and vote. Right now it's hard to tell how many people are reading the post...
On Code Golf: https://codegolf.codidact.com/categories/49 "Hello, World!" is listed as including 20 answers. On the actual page: https://codegolf.codidact.com/questions/279147 it says 18 answe...
We just made an account, and haven't done anything at all yet. No questions, no answers. So why do we have "Participate Everywhere"? According to the ability page, it looks like we would need a mi...
