@OlinLathrop I actually like the autosave. I posted this because of the linked post, not because I'd use it myself. (more) |

@MonicaCellio Wait, so communities can have multiple tag sets? That makes things a bit more complicated... I guess it really is gonna be a "per tag set" scope if it gets implemented. (more) |

@MonicaCellio oh, is that how it works? Are tag sets per-community? Because in that case, I'll edit it and change it to suggest a per-community setting. (more) |

Was debating whether to put this as its own feature request but since this discussion exists might as well put it here. (more) |

@Lundin yes, this is off topic. And I wasn't debating whether or not Discord was spyware either, merely commenting on how unreliable that site looked. (more) |

@MonicaCellio that's what I thought as well, maybe it should be renamed something like "Exit"? (more) |

@OlinLathrop Although admittedly a rare use case, the back button won't go to the post if the post history is directly linked to (such as in this question). In any case, this is still a bug regardless of how you feel about the particular feature. (more) |

"Sites metas can easily fight this by insisting on not falling in authority fallacy." Insisting in what way exactly? The help page (that no one reads)? A meta post (that'll get buried)? (more) |

"Knowing who hates others is a good first step towards their reconciliation."
I don't really see your point with that. Downvotes are not equal to hating the poster; this attitude is exactly why I argued against signing votes since it would cause needless drama. (more) |

"Instead, let that minority downvote privately, but why force their needs on other people?"
I was under the impression that we were discussing the all or nothing choice. If that wasn't the case, then I'm find with the compromise of letting people chose to sign their votes. (more) |

I'm not here to debate about security, I just don't want people getting the wrong idea about what "High levels of spyware" mean on that site. Their idea of spyware is, apparently, anything that the user doesn't have minute and direct control over, meaning every website is high level of spyware (becau... (more) |

Imagine that level of paranoia was applied to Codidact (no offence to Codidact). It would fail miserably because it requires users to provide an email address, stores all of the user's posts and comments on private Codidact databases, and runs an analytics script in the user's browser. (more) |

@Lundin That site also lists Mozilla Firefox, Unity and Steam as having High levels of spyware, and Mozilla Thunderbird as medium spyware; even Paint.NET is apparently spyware. I highly doubt the accuracy of that site.
Their reasoning for those labels is also utterly inane. Discord is spyware beca... (more) |

There is a `code` element inside of a `pre` element. The `code` element has a horizontal scrollbar, while the `pre` element has a vertical scrollbar. This means that the horizontal scrollbar, as part of the inner `code` element, can be scrolled out of view. (more) |

@Monica Can't say this is exactly what @Canina is seeing, but I would say so given their screenshot. The scrollbar is there alright, but you have to scroll down to see it because of how the page is layed out. (more) |

Finally, even if being offensive wasn't the intention, you should still apologize for essentially saying that the staff are irresponsible and don't have the ability to run Codidact. (more) |

@MathPhysics "It is obvious to all that I never said 'why not just let me do it?' nor meant that" 1. You did say that. It's right there in the post history.

I won't say that your paragraph was to the same degree, but it really does come across as "If you're too busy to run Codidact, then why not just let me do it?" *Also*, you stated that the staff members are too busy as a fact. If you claim that the staff members are too busy, then claim IF the staff m... (more) |

"As you can see, no offensive word was used in the paragraph." Imagine if someone were to say, "I don't believe your mental capacities to be enough to post here," and then say it's not offensive since no offensive words were used in that sentence, and it's clearly just an opinion since they said "bel...

@Alexei I just edited your post and only added the [tags] tag, so it seems that it either doesn't affect either me or it doesn't affect Meta. Could you try editing the post, or a different post, and see if it happens again? (more) |

By the way, I'd suggest grouping related questions under a heading, ex.

I'll have to agree with 8063, this is probably *way* too many questions for one post. While the Q&A format allows for multiple answers, it's not exactly great for answering multiple questions since they all get mixed together. (more) |

@ShowMeBillyJo Providing context is solving the knowledge gap of knowledge of context. However, readers still have to have to be able to understand the context, and if they do then tags should be unnecessary for them anyway. (more) |

@ShowMeBillyJo I'm sure novices could be interested in many things they don't understand. My point was, Monica didn't even know what the question was about, even after looking at the tags - .

Obviously there should be a reasonable limit. I just don't think that limit should be *1*.
