I love the idea and hope this new approach gets implemented very soon! Some concerns: I suppose that if a proposal does not take off immediately, most of them can just sit around and wait unt...
After searching from the search box at the top of each page, you are taken to a search results page. This has the search box with the current search term prepopulated, ready to modify and search ag...
1. Limiting people who can create and vote on proposals Besides everything, this is great. First, I suggest making a limit [1] for people who can propose proposals. [2] Because before suggesting n...
We have a suggestion for a site for professional coding, and software engineering and computer science also have some interest, and there are overlapping suggestions for cloud technologies and sin...
The classic justification is of course that we need downvotes to flag bad posts, so that users can skip, filter or sort them to the last page, and moderators can prioritize them. Except we alread...
The problem Almost three years ago we introduced Abilities to Codidact as an improved system for granting activity-based permissions, such as allowing users who have made consistently great edit s...
When adding or removing an upvote or downvote, the user interface is updated without reloading the page. This changes the upvote and downvote buttons to be the appropriate colour based on whether t...
I'm guessing that the following message means that I have been rate limited for suggested edits, but this error is showing instead of the intended message: I received this after pressing save on...
Motivation I often want to use a table to: Compare different solutions (for example, solutions addressing a new feature-request). List related posts and duplicates (some topics can be extremel...
Motivation On Stack Exchange (SE) I could have a really hard time following a discussion in comments between multiple users if one of the users deleted their account or changed their username. He...
User names don't have to be unique (and platforms that require uniqueness tend to frustrate people who end up being Mike792 or whatever), so we need the numbers. Given that we need to include the ...
Flagging an answer After pressing "Flag" under an answer there are 3 radio buttons to choose from: Flagging questions and answers Some changes would benefit both types of post. Changes specifi...
A solution to one of the issues you mention is to ditch the annoying nanny-ware and not require a minimum number of characters in the first place. Sometimes the meaning can be quite clear in a wor...
Related: Tracking progress towards the Edit ability The Activity tab of my user profile, filtered to Edits shows 20 helpful suggested edits, and 1 declined. The Edit Posts Ability page sho...
Expected behaviour for different users My expectation is the same as in the question when a user is unable to see deleted posts. Sometimes a user can see a deleted post (such as when the user is ...
I like this, but... I've often wanted this feature. I feel bad about cluttering the top of the question list when I make a minor typo fix on an old post. However, having thought about it more ove...
The sorting buttons at the top of a category's post list include "Activity", "Age", and "Score", which are all orders into which to sort the posts. However, for sites with imported content they als...
Argument against Quite simply, none of the available reactions has a clear and pressing need for such a marking. "Works for me" can be directly contradicted The only good reason to mark a "w...
This is perhaps a longer term solution, with slightly broader scope than the question, but I'm mentioning it for consideration since the question made me think of it. It still makes sense to implem...
Historical note: When this post was written, we planned to use the QPixel software as a stopgap while building a new Codidact platform from scratch. That's not what we ended up doing. Since early ...
The tag limit is a trade off. If you allow many tags, you have more freedom when tagging, but also you must work harder to clean up unnecessary tags from people who don't know better. That last one...
