Question Post history is incomplete and misses some parts at random
I posted the following question on Software Development: question on Software Development When I go to the history, only half of the history is showing: history of question on Software Development This is also true for my answer where some bits are missing and everything is completed diso...

Comment Post #278215 @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.

Answer A: To be constructive, or not to be constructive, that is the question.
I'm all in for using constructive in the Code of Conduct. In a comment to a previous answer, you wrote: > Although I still believe that using the word "constructive" in the code of conduct is not constructive (because it is highly subjective and in practice no one can question any of its interp...

Answer A: Second Iteration of Drafting the Codidact Arbitration & Review Panel
What will happen if there are not enough persons to reach the desired size of seven persons? I propose the following change (additions in bold): > The Panel consists of at most 7 members of the Codidact network, who are elected for two-year terms in the same manner as the community board positions...

Question Should there be a forum-like place for the Codidact network?
I would like to propose a place on the Codidact network where one can informally talk with other members of the network in a slower paced setting about off-topic stuff (for example movie recommendations, politics, gaming and whatever else someone has a desire to talk about). In this case, a slowe...

Comment Post #277985 @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 ...

Answer A: Medical science site
Related to the proposal to introduce reactions for answers, I propose that there should be some way to rate sources of questions and answers in order to maintain quality. This could be done as proposed in the corresponding meta post with reactions that are written along the lines "Good references"...

Comment Post #277957 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.

Comment Post #277851 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.

Comment Post #277573 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 ...

Answer A: Medical science site
From comments and discussion on other posts here, I've seen that a disclaimer should be included. My proposal: > This site does not provide medical advice. Its purpose is to exchange information about medical sciences among interested persons. Information shared here may be incorrect and does not ...

Comment Post #277573 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.

Comment Post #276997 @MonicaCellio Is there an update you can share with us?

I do see the point in the concerns voiced here ...

Answer A: Please postpone launching new communities.
Besides the technical stuff, I think that postponing launching new communities would actually hinder the Codidact project altogether. The thing is that this network of sites is built to curate knowledge. Knowledge can only be curated when there are people to curate it. So in order to curate more k...

Comment Post #276933 @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?

Comment Post #277258 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.

Comment Post #277224 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.

Comment Post #277224 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 ...

Question Can comment input fields be vertically scalable?
Everytime I write longer comments and exceed a certain amount of characters, the input field for comments becomes scrollable. However, the scrolling makes it very hard for me to find specific passages in my comment to change or rewrite them. I quickly lose the overview this way. Is it possible tha...

Comment Post #277114 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. ...

Comment Post #277105 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...

Question How can I conveniently opt out of Codidact analytics?
Since a few days, my Firefox add-on Privacy Badger shows me a new tracker originating from analytics.codidact.org.

Comment Post #277041 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?
