Comment Post #278671 @dzaima Thinking over this, I think I will be satisfied with an option to hide votes on answers (which I believe has already been proposed before for all the network), with the addition of a language-based sorting option, so that they can both coexist.

Comment Post #278671 @dzaima Fun can still be had by allowing multiple answers to a challenge. Maybe we can include a sort option to alphabetically/randomly sort the languages and sort answers in each language by byte count? or somehow still group submissions in the same language together

Comment Post #278671 @moony I only meant to remove voting for code golf submissions, not for submissions to other challenge types as I hoped to convey in the parenthesis, but looks like I may have messed up my English

Comment Post #278671 @dzaima I intended intra-language competition. But as you say, at times the shortest solution in a language is not as interesting as a longer one in the same language; in such cases both could coexist as separate submissions to the challenge and the author can always explain what makes that submissio...

Answer A: Site suggestion - Code Golf
Remove votes on code golf submissions I believe votes have no place in code golf, only the language and byte counts of submissions should matter. (My point does not stand for challenges nor for submissions to other challenge types, like King of the Hill).

Question Off formatting in comment ending in text in a RTL script
In the first comment (by msh210) to this answer, the comment content is intermingled with the text containing the author and age of the comment. A screenshot demonstrating the issue is below.

Comment Post #277549 Perhaps clichéd, but for the logo I suggest $P\lor\neg P$, i.e. P∨¬P, a reference to both the law of the excluded middle as well as the P vs NP problem.

Answer A: Medical science site
Is sports science included into the scope? I imagine questions of the sort, "How to detect if you're overpronating/oversupinating while running?", "Proper posture for X without hurting Y", "What food should I bring on an marathon?" My opinion is the affirmative.

Comment Post #277105 My opinion would be that these subjects are on-topic as long as they are relevant to human biology/health. So questions on reactions/enzymes would be on-topic if they take place in humans

Comment Post #277114 'there will be the endless "What's wrong with me?" questions' → 'It should be no site where diagnoses or professional advice are offered.', thus making such questions off-topic.

Comment Post #276865 @msh210 I think the connection of linguistics to "languages" is stronger than languages to "language", but maybe that's just me. Either way, I have no strong preference for either

Comment Post #276780 Regarding translation questions, if we are going to have them, are we going to accept translation attempts on arbitrarily long text? If not, what should be be the cut-off? A "paragraph", or just a sentence maximum? I'm leaning towards the latter because this can perhaps reduce low-effort homework que...

Comment Post #276780 @Mithrandir24601 I assume by linking you mean having it as a part of an answer, and not letting the entire answer be the linked dictionary entry?

Answer A: Languages 'supersite'
Site name suggestion: Languages and Linguistics I believe there is little overlap in expertise of the two, so both terms should be included.

Comment Post #276855 I agree with Zerotime's comment in that at minimum a translation should be provided if not entirely in English. However, as mentioned in your Area51 proposal, once a language sub-site has graduated non-English posts (for that language) should be allowed.

Comment Post #276778 I am inclined to believe questions asking for resources should be on-topic. From the categories in your list, I'd say the physiology of language is definitely off-topic.

Comment Post #276780 My opinion is that language learning, acquisition resources and the like would be on-topic. As for translation, I am not sure, I can see a place for questions on the translation/meaning of idioms or "untranslatable" words and the like, but straightforward dictionary definitions should not be on-topic...
