The title mentions "Bringing bad posts to the attention of curators". In addition to discussing potential close reasons, are you also looking for mechanisms for notifying curators of posts that need a decision from them?
For example, adding a close vote could also add the post to a queue of posts ... (more) |

I guess you could post it as an answer saying "here's a workaround until we get a proper solution". (more) |

Far from a solution so not posting as an answer:
If you put a wide image (such as a desktop screenshot) in a quote block, then the reduced horizontal space results in the height of the image also being reduced. It only makes a small difference though, and has no effect at all on tall narrow images... (more) |

Is there any reason that images shouldn't work in threads? Is it worth adding a feature request to have the `img` tag permitted? (more) |

I don't have reasons for or against. I've started a Meta discussion so that people can answer with any reasons, positive or negative, for or against these or any other questions they think of. (more) |

Would it be slightly more likely to get people to look in the right place if it instead said "Not here (see below)" or possibly "Not here (see link below)" if that fits on mobile? (more) |

A: Discoverability for the new Proposals site > Now that there is a separate Proposals site with its own Meta and other categories, that would seem to qualify as a separate "Codidact Community" which should be listed among the "Other Codidact Communities" in the standard page footer.

How should we phase out the Site Proposals category? Currently the old Site Proposals category points to the new Proposals community, presumably as a temporary measure until people get used to the new community. This is not ideal, as described in the last paragraph of Discoverability for the new Proposals site. What is the best way to approach remov... (more) |

Having said this, I don't believe the reference to English as a first language was intended with malice. Only Olin can know this for certain, but my impression is that it was intended to soften the English usage advice, by indicating understanding. It appears to have had the opposite effect, which I'...

I have 2 issues with the mention of English in this answer:
1. We don't have a requirement that a post's English have any particular minimum quality. We have the ability to edit each other's posts so that we can each add our own respective strengths.
2. English being an author's second language i... (more) |

Your rant wasn't without reason. Even though things have been discussed before, most people arriving new won't know that, and may have similar frustrations to yours. It might be useful as a signpost to existing discussions.
It's up to you whether to delete, edit, or leave it as is. I don't persona... (more) |

Comment flagging broken on mobile portrait mode From a comment thread page, pressing "flag" on a comment results in a pop up panel with a text input and a "Flag" button.

The posts list for a tag suggests each post has only that tag Clicking on a tag takes you to a page showing the details of the tag, followed by a list of posts bearing that tag.

I like the idea of the labels "Question" and "Answer" (or "Article" - there are a few post types) being at the top of the individual search result.
How would you feel about these only showing in mixed search results? That is, they could be hidden in search results for a specific post type (so if I... (more) |

This answer covers everything except the mention of a preview while editing comments. Even the standard comment editing interface does not yet show a preview, but there is a Meta feature request for one: [Can we have a preview pane for comments?](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/289248). (more) |

Editor preview for comments Comments allow some Markdown features such as numbered and bullet point lists, code blocks, and quote blocks. They also allow MathJax in communities for which it is enabled. A rendered comment can therefore look very different from the raw text. Could a preview be added to the comment drafting/edi...

That's an interesting point about service tags. If there are more than one kind of tag maybe we could have tag categories.
For example:
- Topic tags show on a row of their own and can be applied by anyone
- Status tags show on a row of their own and can only be applied by moderators
Tags like... (more) |

There are a few cases where the number of tags is not the problem, just being at the limit is a problem (as it prevents adding a moderator-only tag, a proposal tag, or undeleting a tag). Maybe it would be sufficient to just have a limit for users, and an exception for those 3 cases. (more) |

| Comment | Post #289366 |
So there is not necessarily a tag limit per post, but there is a tag limit per user per post. (more) |

| Comment | Post #289366 |
Would it help to have a slowly increasing limit like a trust level?
So for example, when a new user joins they can only add 5 tags, but after they gain trust over time they can add 10, and if they don't misuse that they later get 20. (more) |
