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...
Another option is to not use button styling in the bar at all. The "Ask Question" button can become another tab along with "Posts", "Tags", and "Edits": This is my personal preference as it simp...
In addition to what Mithical said (+1), if we do ever get a direct message system, it must be opt-out by default. In other words, it must take a deliberate action by a user before they can receive...
I think of clutter primarily in terms of how it impacts community norms. If your programming language Q&A site has an about page that says, ‘We welcome questions about all programming language...
Codidact, like many other sites, relies on the wisdom of the majority. The approach has some well known flaws. One is "tyranny of the majority" which is really just a special case of "what if the m...
The title is the question: What community would be appropriate to ask a business question about software development?
When I try to copy and paste text out of a revision history for a question or answer, I notice that: Blank lines are not preserved If I copy the entire text of a revision, the entire thing will...
I was drafting a comment on answer and during that I marked the answer as "works for me": that resulted in the comment draft getting lost. FR: Don't discard the current comment draft when marking ...
No, it's a waste of screen estate, and should therefore be removed. On another note, I would also caution against micromanaging minor design elements like these via Meta, because decisions made on...
The presentation you show is not optimized for what people should be coming to Help for. The help topics are also in a rather arbitrary hierarchy, and not showing the relative importance or order ...
I think that a lot of the current approach mostly works. Once you've gotten here, if you have an interest in other topics, then you'll find the incubator. If you haven't gotten here or don't have...
Here is a mechanism that addresses some of the problems: Each proposed new site is a full site in the structural sense. It has all the proposed categories, including meta. These sites would be i...
We've updated the help here on Meta -- where most cases of potential confusion will arise -- to include the tip about using blockquotes. As noted in other answers, trying to add borders or shadows...
Attached below is a self-explanatory GIF of the Edit post page, although the issue exists on the Ask Question page too (please ignore the black bar on the left): When the tag dropdown opens, scr...
This is related to my other question, https://software.codidact.com/posts/291064. In that I argued we shouldn't close vague or confused questions, so that other people can post an answer if they wa...
I prefer no border for general images I would not want every image to be surrounded by a border. Images are added for many reasons, and in many cases a border would not be wanted. For example, a b...
I too would like this functionality. There are user(s) who have spent years and years being mean and rude and I long time ago I decided that I would be much better/happier off ignoring them. I igno...
I suggest to add resizing option to the commenting box in the threaded comments section (at least on desktop display).
This is a proposal for a refinement of Canina's proposal, or any proposal substantially like it, in response to one of celtschk's objections in the comments. Canina assumed, and I agree, that the ...
Yes I have been thinking about this for a while, even before Codidact existed and I think the hard reality is that it is almost impossible to have a "one size fits all" (what SE is basically tryin...
Maybe the ordering of the default tab should be more sophisticated, both for logged-out and logged-in users, new or otherwise. The "Activity" tab would then not be the default one, and the default ...
No, we should not completely remove them from the question list, making them effectively private or moving them to a dedicated category. While the purpose of these actions seems to be to give thes...
I agree that such a front page looks bad. I also agree with a comment that trying to simply hide poorly received posts is hiding the problem instead of solving it. It's sweeping the problem under ...
In the reference, Monica had said If you suspect voting fraud, please flag or use the "contact us" link. Moderators can't see who voted on what (even I can't), but there are people on the team w...
Context for images: I know that Monica is a staff member of Codidact, which also makes her a mod, so if there's a question you have about the images, here's the context. I have recently learne...
