If the only reason to distinguish deleted users is the problem described (confusing threads involving 2 or more deleted users), then perhaps a per question approach could work:
- If a question & its answers & comment threads contains only 1 deleted user, show them as "deleted user"
- If a questio... (more) |

In terms of privacy, generating a new number for the deleted account would fall somewhere between using their original user id and using the same fixed "deleted user" for all deleted users.
It would protect against being identified by people who already know your user id, but if anyone also knows ... (more) |

| Question | — |
How does "@username" work in comment threads? In a comment thread, I can notify someone by including "@username". I also get notified of replies, even if they do not include my username in this way. What determines who is notified of a comment in a thread? - When a comment does not include "@username", who is notified? - When a comment does ... (more) |

I understand now. I'm not sure what to call them, but each Meta question requires at least one of them.
Although very few questions have more than one of these required tags, some questions change between them as more information becomes available, which would require moving between categories if ... (more) |

When you say "meta tags" do you mean "status tags" (the ones that show in red on the tags tab)? These can only be applied by a moderator and I've never seen a post with more than 1 status tag applied. (more) |

I think I would rather that voting on a bug / feature request require visiting the specific page rather than being able to vote on the status page.
Voting on the status page would be voting on only the title, rather than on the full description, and would also skip viewing the answers and comments... (more) |

Most of the bugs and feature requests that are planned to be fixed/implemented go on to be raised as [issues on GitHub](https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/issues). This can be filtered by open/closed, priority, and estimated difficulty. I'd still like to see an overview tool here on Meta too, but Git... (more) |

In fact you can view all of these tags together by [searching the tags tab for "status"](https://meta.codidact.com/categories/3/tags?q=status). (more) |

If you look at the [tags tab](https://meta.codidact.com/categories/3/tags) and scroll through, you will find a number of red tags that can only be applied by a moderator or administrator, and seem to cover the purpose you suggest. So we might be nearer to a solution than first thought. (more) |

Interesting - it indents but misses out the bullets. Does the question that you posted that answer to show bullets correctly for you? If so, it would be useful to know whether your answer renders bullets correctly if you change the asterisks (`*`) to hyphens (`-`). (more) |

A: Bulleted lists don't work on IOS Firefox and MacOS Safari Here is what your answer looks like on my machine: Answer showing bullet points rendered correctly You can see that the bullet points are rendered correctly, so it sounds like it is the rendering of bullet points on your machine that is problematic (the other answer you mentioned also looks cor...

I also had this experience, but with a comment rather than an answer, resulting in a duplicate comment. I can't find it now that it's deleted but if I see this again I will take a screenshot before deleting and link to the comment thread. (more) |

You could raise this as a separate Meta post tagged "bug" and then it can be investigated. It also means anyone else who has a similar experience can add their information too. (more) |

I try to raise as many minor bugs and feature requests as I can. Just because they're not essential doesn't mean we shouldn't have them.
With the code being open source, they can make good first issues for people wanting to get started, so they don't necessarily have to wait a long time to be impl... (more) |

Some Meta questions are feature requests, and votes can express support or opposition to the feature. Other Meta questions are discussions, and do not express an opinion, just provide a place for opinions to be expressed in answers. In such cases I see upvotes on the discussion question as indicating... (more) |

Tag-only edits only sometimes have a tag diff I noticed that the edit to the tags in this edit history does not have a tag diff section.

I know you've already [raised the idea of the question title being a link](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/288499).
I also like the idea of the last edited timestamp being a link to the edit history. I like the explicit "History" button, but I don't see any reason why we couldn't have both links -... (more) |

Although this won't cover all of your personal user scripts, each community can add scripts that are then present for all users, rather than users having to individually install user scripts.
For example, challenges on Code Golf Codidact have a leaderboard that shows up for all users, whereas on S... (more) |

In the answer, it might be worth rephrasing

I've confirmed this by deleting a comment thread on a question post that I posted. I see the "Show more" button that you mentioned. This doesn't seem to serve any purpose, because I can't see the deleted comment even though I posted it. Definitely seems like a bug. (more) |

I've just realised the difference - you are the poster of that answer. It looks like the empty thread is hidden from non-moderators, with the exception of you, who posted the answer. (more) |

Did you have that page open already? If I follow the first link in your comment I don't see a "Show more" button at the bottom of the answer. I just see "0 comment threads". (more) |

A: Comment threads remain active even if all comments are deleted This bug appears to be fixed, but it is not.
