@MonicaCellio I would agree with you, but the questions they copied over had no answers at all. When you are the only answerer for the question, I feel like it's more than just a kindness to give them at least a link to the answer. (more) |

If you went through the trouble of answering the question, can't you have a bit of decency and give the answer to the person who asked for it? (generic you here) (more) |

What I was worried about is that they seemed to only be crossposting for the sake of having questions for themselves to answer here - which I still wouldn't take offence to, but they didn't bother to answer the *asker*, which just feels... (more) |

| Question | — |
What is the policy on importing questions by simply quoting the question over here? Recently, three questions were "imported" from StackOverflow: https://software.codidact.com/q/277934, https://software.codidact.com/q/277930, https://software.codidact.com/q/277932 I put "imported" in quotes, because they weren't actually imported. The user just quoted the respective StackOverflo... (more) |

@pnuts I was less worried about how minor it was than about how confusing it was. When I saw that it was marked "completed", I was actually going to post a bug report since the change didn't show up for me (but thankfully when I was linking the post in the report I saw the clarification that it wasn'...

Sorry, but I disagree. status-completed implies that users will actually see the change, and it is is confusing in the interim between the "completion" and the "deploy" times. (more) |

| Question | — |
Should [status-completed] be used before the changes are live? As of the time of writing, this request has the [status-completed] tag despite the change not being live yet. It is completely developed, sure, but since it is not yet deployed, should the request be marked completed? (more) |

@pnuts Actually, the time when someone suggests an edit also shows up in user activity as "Suggested Edit" and also says whether the edit was "helpful" (accepted) or "declined". The existence of the latter information makes the "Edit" activity for when the edit was accepted kind of pointless imo (more) |

A: The site claims I made edits to post while I was offline The timestamp for edits is when the post is changed. Notably, that means that the time does not correspond to the time when an edit was suggested. This is your edit suggestion, which was approved while you were asleep: https://electrical.codidact.com/posts/suggested-edit/11 The site should prob... (more) |

I didn't close it because I thought it was opinion based - You're free to suggest whatever you want (and posts tagged with [discussion] are naturally opinion based anyway.) I closed it because, as the close reason says, "It's not possible to learn something from possible answers, except for the solut... (more) |

As the one who closed it, I feel like I should offer my reason. The way I read it, it was basically a rant: "an unfortunate thing for this community is that when you report some bug on Meta, you are not usually received any response". Both of the examples you listed 1. are your own, which to me was a... (more) |

Add the staff badge to the user list Currently, the user list displays the Administrator (☗) and Moderator (☖) badges on users, but not the staff badge that displays when you go to the user's profile. For consistency, could you have the staff badge show up on the user list as well? (more) |

A: Second Iteration of Drafting the Codidact Arbitration & Review Panel Does the Panel's jurisdiction extend to chat? Over on the discord server, the topic of chatroom moderation came up. If a chatroom mod does something that one could consider an abuse of power or generally incorrect, is the Panel allowed to step in? Keep in mind that although the site mods and th... (more) |

In all seriousness though, your suggestions are good. I wasn't really thinking about space, since blockquotes don't add much height anyway and I basically assumed that the height would be constrained by the hiding-extra-comments mechanic that we already have. (more) |

@Olin Lathrop Well, it's sort of also a notice to users that the function is *there*, since the "draft saved" notice comes and goes really quickly and isn't really noticeable unless you look out for it. And it's also for a bit of peace of mind, instead of relying on some timer to save your work, you ... (more) |

"Since this is the only instance I have noticed this behaviour, I assume it is related to the answer content itself (contains Chinese characters)."
It's actually not that; It's because of the really long string of text without spaces which doesn't properly word-wrap. It pushes the sides of the answe... (more) |

Allow block quotes in comments When commenting on a post, sometimes I want to comment on a specific paragraph, or similar section. The most natural way to me is to block quote it, however using Markdown to do it doesn't work (it just removes the `>`). I'm left using regular quotation marks (which work, but are kind of ugly for lon... (more) |

Save draft button So apparently, while writing a new post, there's an auto-save feature where every once in a while the system saves the current progress as a draft. However, there doesn't seem to be a way to manually save it, which seems kind of odd to me given that the save feature is there already. Could we have a ... (more) |
