Answer A: A place to ask legal questions?
There is currently no general law community. However, domain specific questions might be able to be asked on their respective communities. (e.g. perhaps food safety regulations on Cooking) This however would need to be asked individually on each community for them to decide whether it would be on-top...

Question Edit button is still "Suggest Edit"
I recently got the ability to directly edit posts. However, the button to edit the posts still is still labeled as "Suggest Edit" instead of simply "Edit". toolbar This is purely a visual bug; I am still able to directly edit posts.

Answer A: Taking our design to the next level: feedback wanted
Add exclude options for the tag filter Perhaps add a section below the tag include filter so we can quickly and easily exclude specific tags from our searches. (Typing out a full tag:bug -tag:status-completed is both cumbersome and requires knowledge of search syntax)

Answer A: Taking our design to the next level: feedback wanted
Keep special styling for top level and moderator tags (Top level being the blue discussion, feature-request, bug, and support tags, and moderator being the red status tags) Since those tags are special, I'd like them to have special styling in the updated design as well.
