How does voting on site proposals work? I've seen a pattern of certain users downvoting on site proposals, not because they are against the proposal itself but rather against the concept of launching a new community. Without calling out any specific users, they have mentioned in comments and Discord that they'll revoke their downvote if th... (more) |

A: A "Super user" like community to include Q&As about software applications usage There's an existing proposal for an "office suite" site. Seeing as this seems to be a broader subject that includes such programs, should we close that proposal as a duplicate of this one? Same question goes for the AWS proposal, currently closed as a duplicate of what's now Software Codidact. (more) |

Feature requests for tag filtering and sorting Issue #1: On the "tags" tab, there's an option to sort by hierarchy. When you have a lot of child tags under the same parent tag, or multiple parents next to each other with lots of children, things get...confusing. Especially when they have grandchildren and in-laws.

Comments improvements to indicate assent or dissent with previously posted comments Often I'm looking over a post and feel that I have what to add as a comment. But as soon as I look at the comments, I find that someone's already written exactly what I would have said. At that point, it would just be adding noise to write my own comment saying essentially the same thing, as it would... (more) |

A: Suggestion for allowing to mark answers as "accepted", "outdated" or "dangerous" Proposal: Integrate the voting system into the reactions feature. Let users react with "this is a good post" or "this is a bad post," with the prompt for an optional comment, and continue weighing post score as you have, based solely on these two reactions. This has the benefits of: 1. Potential... (more) |

A: Drafting the Codidact Arbitration & Review Panel Article 1 discusses each appointee's vote scores.

Allow moderators to pin posts to that site's sidebar, individually or by seasonal event Featured Posts One neat feature on SE was that mods could mark posts as [featured], and any such-tagged post would appear in a special sidebar widget. That way meta posts which the per-site mods felt deserved individual attention could be pinned for people to see (often community events and site p... (more) |

A: Drafting the Codidact Arbitration & Review Panel Article 27 requires members to explicitly recuse themselves if they feel they can't be impartial.

A: Drafting the Codidact Arbitration & Review Panel Article 30 discusses that substitutes are sworn in if and only if at least 1/3 of the panel is recused. What happens when exactly two members of the panel are absent? 1/3 of 7 is 2 and change, so if exactly two members are missing, that's less than 1/3. Articles 16 and 17 discuss scenarios req...

"Tour" for new users? Hi everyone! I'm joining the bandwagon coming from SE. I've been active over there for just over four years, so needless to say that I'm very familiar with that platform.
