Due to the example given, I am worried that it's been considered to restrict questions on Software.CD to specific languages. Is this the case, or has this come up on another related site? (more) |

I'm not sure what the point is about that. I think a slightly larger limit suffices. Introducing a new privilege for this seems unneeded to me. And I'm not sure why one would ever need 20 tags. At that point, I'd say there's probably something that's gone wrong, and a discussion on Meta is best. Actu... (more) |

- Mass creation of new tags.
- Extra server load (this should be handled by the server anyway, similar to max post length, and other basic defenses against malicious usage).
- Abusing tags for visibility

I'm not entirely convinced that a limit on the number of tags, is the best way to counter these problems. Generic tags, as well as company name tags, shouldn't exist in the first place, and they can still be created by just omitting other kind of tags. These tags should be deleted and banned once the...

Somewhere Else stacks them twice; first horizontally, then vertically. That seems perfect to me, unless we’re permitting 20+ tags. (more) |

on SE (mainly, MSO and MSE), I have regularly upvoted both comments stating something, and comments disagreeing with them, because I think that they are both useful, bring up an important discussion, and both present important and valid viewpoints. I have even done so for a discussion between 2+ peop... (more) |

Why is there a limit on 5 tags in the first place? Is it to prevent cluttering? Technical reasons? Was it as simple as a pragmatic choice by the programmer? (more) |

A: Assessing the 5 tag limit Such a tag limit seems low to me, though I can't think of any specific cases in which more than 5 tags would apply. However, I'm not sure what the use in limiting this upfront is; I'm not sure it solves any problems that aren't better addressed in other ways. In case there actually is a need for more... (more) |

Has there been any progress as to establishing Codidact as an organization? If not, why not?

@mrTsjolder My understanding is that this can be satisfied by first downloading all the licenses with one request, then let subsequent requests just refer to one of the licenses already downloaded. Is that wrong to assume? (more) |

2. Where is a license required?
- every time any licensed content is included in a response?
- No; document that certain content is under a license (that said, isn't everything under a license (does Codidact not have a license for its content?). Why would you want to process license data ever... (more) |

I don’t think you need to address question 1 upfront, if you go with the idea of using an ID or index. Doesn’t Codidact only permit a predefined set of licenses anyway? So each time Codidact accepts a new license, assign a new ID to it, or add it to the list of licenses, and use its index.

Simple idea:
```
class Post {
long id;
byte license;
List<Comment> comments;
List<Revision> revisions;
}
class Revision {
long authorID;
String text;
List<String> tags;
Date date;
int index; // in case certain revisions are omitted
}
class Comm... (more) |

I'm not sure if I see a need _not_ to include the license with all content; this can be as simple (and small) as a single byte, which is an ID of a predefined license, or an index into a table of licenses. So, this data is very small, and can be transmitted regardless of how the content is requested.... (more) |

If an issue is a combination of bugs, bad UX, and/or incomplete programming, how should that case be handled? I could post all on one site, or struggle with distributing it on both sides, which is neither optimal. (more) |
