I cannot understand the meaning of disrespectful. (Please note that I write this post only for the record. I personally do not hope that some changes will be made.) I have been informed of some contradictory policies (attitudes), which I personally do not care, but they may cause some abuses threatening the Codidact future. They are not disres... (more) |

Why not have a physics community for physics enthusiasts? Update Jan 4, 2021: launched []()Although I still believe that launching new communities should be postponed and that a math & physics community is a better choice for the current state of Codidact, since a separate math community has been launched, let us have a physics community. Physic... (more) |

A: Voluntariness vs. Responsibility, which of them should be considered as a priority for the community team? Since the other answers did not satisfactorily address my concerns, I'll post my answer to the question. If we want to have a successful community, then its community managers (team) should work as paid staff do. There is a (somewhat harsh to some people) fact stating: If you want to have a succe...

Informing community users of new permissible features It seems that permissible features which are voted up considerably will be added to a community. By "permissible" I mean those features which are not rejected by the community team due to some policies or technical considerations. However, as we know well, only a small part of any community member... (more) |

Voluntariness vs. Responsibility, which of them should be considered as a priority for the community team? Before starting the concern, I want to appreciate and acknowledge the community team for their volunteer efforts to run Codidact and handle its issues as far as they can. When I sometimes talk to some people about the state of some unhandled issues, I am answered explicitly or implicitly that "the... (more) |

What are the close reasons on Codidact? In my opinion the following should be the only default close reason for any Codidact community: - CoC (without the problematic sentence) violation - obvious spam, like posting nonsense things or promoting - (obviously) off-topic post - too vague such that no one can answer - (exactly) duplica...

Codidact is a Q&A platform or a teaching community? The following is an excerpt from this community staff's answer: > I definitely didn't thought of the CoC-version of "Not Constructive" when I added the "Not Constructive"-close reason. The intention was to catch posts, which aren't helpful to anyone (What's 1+1? rather than How to add two numbers?... (more) |

Let us have a transparent review system. Issue According to the answers provided by the community staff to this post, I conclude that one of the Codidact policies is empowering moderators to take some required actions in some situations and allowing users to request the community team or a "Review Panel" to review the token actions. H... (more) |

To be constructive, or not to be constructive, that is the question. After reading this answer, I have concluded that any post and any behavior satisfying the Code of Conduct are welcomed in any Codidact Community. The Code of Conduct has been written well, and all things are clear in it except the following vague sentences: > We're deliberately not setting out ... (more) |

Why prefer Codidact to Stack Exchange? As I explained in this post and some community staff confirmed, Codidact is almost a miniature version of SE. In fact, I see no radical difference between them. As we know, almost all (in my opinion, all without exception) people coming to Codidact are already familiar with SE. So, why should we e... (more) |

Does Codidact have to be too similar to SE? Examining Codidact communities, one can easily find out that Codidact is almost a duplicate of SE I know that many Codidact users (or maybe all of them) are current or former SE users, so it was expectable that the Codidact community team, who have gotten into the habit of using SE networks, would...

Does Codidact want to silence its users as SE does? After joining Codidact and then reading many posts, I concluded that Codidact is a place allowing people to express their opposing ideas freely, unlike SE. But, something happened that I had to doubt my conclusion: this post was closed as not constructive (?!). As we know, SE users cannot expre... (more) |

Launching a new community with enough contributors even though disagreements exist Suppose that I have suggested a community idea which has been heavily downvoted. Now, if I can gather enough people interested in contributing to the community regularly, then will this idea be planned to launch by the community team while it has many downvotes? (more) |

| Question | — |
I cannot understand the meaning of some downvotes In my opinion, downvoting some kinds of posts is meaningless. For example, why should anyone downvote a bug report, like this post? If someone has the same problem, they can upvote the bug report; otherwise, they can skip it. Quite the contrary, I think bug report posts should be heavily upvoted ... (more) |

Please postpone launching new communities. I know that Codidact is a new website developed by volunteers, so I do not expect it to be as well-appointed as an experienced website like Stack Exchange. However, although I have joined Codidact for a short while, I see that this website lacks some favorite features and has some bugs. I admit th... (more) |

A: Mathematics & Physics Community Right now we don't have a good way of identifying people who would help build a new community, so let's do this: if you are interested in helping to build a math & physics site, please leave a comment describing your level of interest (casual visitor, enthusiast, expert in this subtopic within the si...

"User Profile" should be more informative. I think the current information in a user profile is very limited . In my opinion, the following information should be added: Visible to all users - The number of questions and answers - The number of helpful flags, posts edited by the user, and people reached - Tags involved by the user'...

"Edit" and "delete" options are disappeared after tapping "show more comments" I have been informed of the following bug about comments. I am using iPad Safari browser. When I tap "show more comments" to see hidden comments, the "edit" and "delete" options are disappeared from all my comments under the post, so I am unable to edit or delete any of them. (more) |

Mathematics & Physics Community In my opinion, mathematics and physics are interconnected; I think almost all theoretical physicists are mathematicians and many mathematicians are interested in physics subjects. Since Codidact is an embryonic Q&A website, I suggest that one community is devoted to both mathematics and physics to... (more) |

The Codidact Help should be more comprehensive and practical There are two points about the "Help" of "Codidact"should be mentioned: - The Help should be more comprehensive. There are many features and rules for Codidact, like voting limit, commenting, tagging, ..., which one can only find in some meta posts or comments. - The information in the Help sho... (more) |
