A: Lost Reputation Apparently there was a bug in the rep recalc script. Still not entirely sure why, but I've solved it and re-run the script. Rep counts should be correct now. (more) |

@#53288 It's not possible that you know who is voting on your posts, that information isn't available to you. It is available to me, and I can see a pretty even spread of votes by various different people. There's no voting fraud here, just people voting on content.
Let me also remind you that we ... (more) |

A: Voting fraud on posts As the moderator who reviewed your flag said, downvoting is not necessarily voting fraud. Anyone is free to use their downvotes as they see fit; it's only when someone starts voting on the person not on the content that it becomes voting fraud. If you have something to indicate that voting fraud may ... (more) |

@#53305 I don't disagree, but so is stopping people with names that aren't completely Americanized or Anglicised from using them. Six and two threes. We should be looking at ways around this, rather than just saying "we'll block it completely" instead. (more) |

A: Date Display formatting > When you hover over a date on SE it shows you the full date time stamp which is a reasonable compromise. We do the same thing here. Hover over most relative timestamps ("x ago") and you'll get an exact ISO 8601-ish formatted date-time. If you find one that doesn't, please let us know! (more) |

@#53305 Without trying to be flippant... what's stopping you copy-pasting the username? Or, worst case, hover over the link and type in the user ID yourself? Not ideal, no, but neither's breaking the system for anyone with a name that's not 100% ASCII. What about Chloë? Or Ægidius? Or, indeed, 李某? Se... (more) |

@#54243 Here are [some things people believe about names](https://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-names/). All are false. The point is not that I don't want to do it, it's that there's no way to do it (a) in a sane manner, (b) without breaking important functionality... (more) |

@#53305 And then what about folks who want to use their real names? Real names aren't all ASCII, let alone usernames. Works the other way round, too: I can't possibly whitelist all _safe_ Unicode characters, either. (more) |

A: Limit of flag comment 65535 bytes (the default length for the `TEXT` type in MySQL). Needless to say, if people start abusing that, it'll get restricted. 😝 (more) |

| Comment | Post #283528 |
@#53305 That's the whole reason it's _not_ being restricted. It's easy to abuse, and hard to detect. I can disallow specific Unicode characters, but someone will just find another one. There's no easy attribute I can pick to detect what's "abusive" use of Unicode and what's genuine. If someone wants ... (more) |

A: Restrictions on usernames I've declined this, for the same reason that I've declined other similar Unicode-related "bugs" before. They're not really bugs, just a product of how easy Unicode is to abuse. The solution: don't do this. Expect your username to be reset to something not-unhelpful if you do. (more) |

@#53922 the most likely thing to happen is that support will send an email to the address registered on the account, so that you can find it that way. That also handles the case of someone claiming an account that isn't theirs, as they won't have access to the email address. (more) |

A: "forgot email address" system If you forget your email address, contact support and we'll be able to assist. Allowing people to guess the email address for an account is not something that can be done securely and in a way that protects user privacy. (more) |

A: "Body is too short" error when posting middle-click-pasted answer with no changes Fix pushed. When you save a post, we don't take what you typed into the textbox and convert it to markdown on the server, if we can avoid it (we still have to if the client has JS disabled). There's this live preview below the textbox where the HTML has already been calculated for us, so we might ... (more) |

A: Don't add duplicate notifications if an unread notification for the same event type and parent post already exists I thought we did this already, so I had a look. Turns out we were using the wrong link to check for duplicates, which I've updated. You should find you only get one notification per comment thread when there are any number of new comments now.

A: How can I effortlessly spawn new, unused URLs to the same question on Codidact? This is not something we support, technically or ethically. You're more than welcome to promote content on Codidact communities elsewhere, but you must follow the rules of wherever it is you're posting; we're not in the business of circumventing rules for our own gain.

A: Is it possible to delete account community-wise? This can be done by a developer. Ping us an email to support@ and someone will handle this for you. At present, this will mean that any content associated with your account on that site will be unlinked from your account and attributed to System, which will not be reversible later. We do have some de... (more) |

A: Shouldn't the Mobile Sign In also be removed from the profile page when you are on the phone? This is by design. You might already be signed in on your phone or tablet, but what if you want to sign in on another one? We drop this from the top menu because it's less likely if you're already on a mobile device, but there should still always be a path to access this. (more) |

A: A letter didn't bold in suggested edit page This is displaying fine in all browser tests that I've been able to run. Given that others are reporting this fine too, I'm inclined to suggest there's something janky with your system, rather than with Codidact. (more) |

A: MathJax isn't highlighted when selected Unfortunately, this isn't something we have control over. It's down to the MathJax library and how it renders the math. If you look at the page HTML, by default it renders math by putting every character in a CSS `::before` psuedo-element, which aren't selectable; likewise, if you change the renderer... (more) |
