Medical research is its own recognized field. Going by your logic you could say everything is [a subfield of maths](https://xkcd.com/435/). It is already clearly stated that no medical advice will be given. The community is supposed to be focused on answering interesting questions related to the huma... (more) |

@MonciaCellio I think they should be. Answers to questions like these can be supported with data so that people can make up their minds on their own. (more) |

@manassehkatz I don't see how this post is different from the Statistics one or the Change My View one in its initial version. Maybe the TO or other people intended to elaborate on that proposal. (more) |

Can you provide these six bullet points as separate posts, please? Some things I agree with, some I don't, so I didn't vote here. (more) |

Also on Cooking on this question: https://cooking.codidact.com/questions/279020 On the category page, it shows to only have two answers but it has actually four. (more) |

For me it works fine, however, before the update the button never worked inside a post. At least on my end nothing changed in between. (more) |

My recent edit on the question [about the image upload button](https://meta.codidact.com/questions/279468) is gone. I provided errors on my side and incorporated them into the question, there was even an edit by someone else after my edit that's also gone. (more) |

@MonicaCellio No, I'm not interested but I will be active and keep my eyes peeled for day-to-day business. However, if there's nobody who wants to do it but the Codidact team wants someone from the proposal to do it, I could do it so the community can be launched. (more) |

Thanks for the update on this proposal. Indeed, more users wouldn't hurt anyone. The last paragraph, do you want some of the interested users here to nominate themselves for a moderator role? If yes, maybe it makes sense to notify them additionally via comments. (more) |

@Mithrandir24601 I didn't read that in the current version (or missed it) and I certainly don't implicitly read it to be that. For me, it's seven or violating the the current version of the rules. (more) |

A resource category might also be a good idea for collecting information about specific medical topics, for example basic anatomy, pregnancy or anything else. (more) |

@MonicaCellio Yes, per-reference voting could indeed be too much. Maybe voting as a whole, commenting if there are questionable references and link them to curated lists? On a side note: Would you mind posting your idea about curated lists of credible and problematic references as an answer? I think ... (more) |

This is a nice idea. I can also think about a good implementation for a medical sciences site: buttons indicating if a source is good or bad. (more) |

Oh, that came across the wrong way. I didn't mean what's similar but rather what you would like to see differently. (more) |

If you get them to upvote a proposal and it evens out the downvotes, we all know that the proposal is controversial but has users who would like to participate. If it's only downvoted, it's not apparent for the public that there may be users interested in participating. (more) |

Well, I guess that depends on the person in question: If someone is personally bothered by something, they will act on it. If they aren't bothered by it, they most likely just ignore it. If I see a proposal that I think isn't helpful (for the time being) for the Codidact project, I would downvote it ... (more) |

I think for the community proposal that most of the downvotes originate from the fact that a math community is in its definition phase. Your proposal covers some of the stuff proposed there and I guess most people don't see the need for two too similar communities right now. (more) |

@MonicaCellio Is there an update you can share with us? I'm slightly surprised to see Tabletop Games to be in the [status-definition] phase even though this proposal here seems to have received more attention / interaction (positive and critical alike). I do see the point in the concerns voiced here ... (more) |

@mbomb007 I don't see the point, the site would be about scientific findings. Can you please provide some example questions cornering the topics you brought up? For example, there might be clear medical conditions when an abortion should be done in order to save the mother's life, regardless of ethic... (more) |

I think that the questions should be focused on medical aspects on sport, then they are on-topic. For example: "Does exercise A promote wear of my joints?" However, questions about dieting or workout plans are no good fit in my opinion. (more) |

Can you propose a possible guideline on what is allowed and what is disallowed and some example questions, please? Maybe this makes it more clear what we're looking at. (more) |

I'm very unsure about this... When allowing it, it should be clearly defined what's on-topic and what's off-topic. The problem with making diagnoses via distance is often having not enough information (can't assess a broken leg without a x-ray image) and that you can't verify on this platform if the ... (more) |

I don't think that it's a problem that people will still be asking about diagnoses, yes it may be annoying to close them, but that's all - no harm done. The validity of sources indeed is a problem, strictly speaking one medical professional wouldn't be enough either as this person can also be wrong. ... (more) |

I partly agree with the previous comment of @user53100. I think that basic questions related to human biology / biochemistry and pharmacology should be on-topic to a certain degree. As soon as it becomes purely about the chemical formulas and effects behind it, I think that a chemical or pharmacology... (more) |

I like it, one quick question though: When I open the pull down menu, for a second I see a full time stamp like "2020-01-01T05:05:53" and so on before it transitions to "4 days ago" or "10 hours ago". Is this intended or is something not working on my end? (more) |

This is exactly what I meant. Upvoting can mean both "Nice, I like it" and "Nice, I like to participate" so a basic way to measure actual user engagement / participation helps out a lot. (more) |
