Answer A: Speculative Science
Bystander here. I think I understand now what you want the site to be, but I suggest you need a better name than Speculative Science. When I first saw that, I thought you wanted a place to discuss crackpot theories, perpetual motion machines, and the like. A name isn't just for you. In fact, th...

Question How to do superscript markup?
I wrote an answer where I needed to say "square meters". I wanted to write this as "m" followed by a superscript "2". I tried writing "m&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;". That worked in the preview, so I left it that way. Unfortunately, after posting the answer it was written just as "m2", not what I int...

Comment Post #275779 As far as I can tell, I've had one downvote on one answer, and one upvote on one question. I think I saw the 12 rep before the upvote. In any case, I had 7 rep when the only vote I received was a downvote on one answer. Then this was all on meta, where rep makes no sense in the first place. The po...

Question How does rep work here?
I see there is a number next to each users' name, which in some places is even called "rep". That makes sense. What is mysterious is how it's calculated. My rep makes no sense. I started out writing one answer to a meta post. That answer got 1 downvote. That should make my rep negative, or at...

Answer A: How should Codidact "advertise" and gain community members?
I think this is going to be site specific. It may take a while, but in the end, users will go to where questions get good answers. It's like the Build it and they will come philosophy. I like to call it Answer and they will ask. This process is slow, because it relies on word of mouth. That's ...

Answer A: Can we have second-factor sign-in authentication via e-mailed one-time codes?
Please make sure that such a feature is optional, and not the default when you create your account. Personally I find such extra security a pain in the butt and annoying. This isn't Fort Knox or my bank account. A user name and password should be good enough, without needing a phone handy, or im...
