The question I just marked this as a duplicate of covers the same territory, so even if it's not exactly your question, I think it's a match. If you disagree, please let us know. Bottom line: *your* work is always fair game, but you might need to recast a question in your own words to bring in an a... (more) |

No worries -- duplicates aren't a badge of shame or anything, just consolidation. I'll go ahead and mark it, so we'll know it doesn't need a new GitHub issue to track it. (more) |

I'm actually getting ready to take a stab at a spec for a real filtering mechanism, so the tabs would be *sorts* (like age and score) while the filters would be *filters*. Instead of trying to jam more buttons in there when we know we're going to want more filters than just this, let's build filters... (more) |

This question is broader but includes a request for a network profile: https://meta.codidact.com/posts/279409. On the other hand, that one having two status tags (because it asked for two things, one of which is implemented) could be confusing. (more) |

A: Filtering questions with "no answer" and/or "no accepted answer" ? You can search by answer count by adding `posttype:1 answers:n` to your search. To find unanswered questions, search for `posttype:1 answers:0`. When you type `posttype:` in the search form, you'll see a pop-up that lists the available post types. You don't have to memorize the numbers. We do... (more) |

Clarified in an edit. I just meant that we don't need to have the auditing block author edits when no one else is involved, if that would make this easier to do. If it's easy to add the auto-comment, then we don't need to worry about staging it like this. (more) |

A: Editing Thread Titles Based on feedback to this answer and other conversations, I propose the following: 0. Allow anybody with the Curate ability to edit the title at any time (this is true today). 1. Allow the creator of the thread to edit the title at any time until there is a comment from somebody else. 2. Add... (more) |

Thanks for the reminder; I had forgotten about that post. I think as a practical matter we should think in terms of a filter rather than a category; in addition to the category code not currently being designed for more fluid movement like this, a community can have more than one Q&A category and ha...

| Question | — |
Should we remove closed questions from the question list? Should we exclude closed questions from the question list? Closed questions (and their answers) would still be linked on the owners' profiles, would be included in search results, and would produce the usual notifications from activity on them. This change would only be to get them out of the mai... (more) |

@#54706 if the community already has a meta consensus about that type of question, please flag to ask a moderator to delete it. (If there's any context the mod might need to make that connection, best to mention it. Like, if a science community had a rule against certain types of sources, mentionin... (more) |

@#54706 I meant that any community can decide, via discussion on its meta, that such-and-such types of posts (whatever applies there) should be deleted, and they could implement that independently of anything else we do. I.e. they don't _need_ an automated system, though automation would make it eas... (more) |

Moderators can suspend or revoke individual abilities for any user. This level of granularity in suspensions is probably new to most people, so perhaps we need to make it more widely known? (more) |

Regardless of any general mechanism or rules, each community is free to decide on its own what content should be deleted. When there's a community consensus, people could flag for mods to delete until there's something better. Anybody can _flag_, so we don't have to place the whole curation burden ... (more) |

A: Donation account cannot currently make live charges, transaction has not been processed Update: Stripe has now unblocked us and I just successfully made a donation (from a different community where I didn't turn the button off last night). I'll restore the button here on Meta. Again, I apologize to everybody who was trying to support us and hit this roadblock. The issue was that ou... (more) |

Oh yes, I remember that -- from the very early days, before we decided to improve QPixel (the Ruby code) instead of starting over. Somebody on the team came across that and shared it; as far as I know, none of us were involved (or know those folks). (more) |

I had Ars Technica in mind when I wrote that (and *almost* named them). I don't have any contacts there; I hope someone else knows a way in. And I agree that we need to make things more appealing for visitors who come in response to such an article. (more) |

A: Proposal for Wikipedia article I would love for Codidact to have an entry on Wikipedia and, particularly, for it to be linked in this list of Q&A platforms. Wikipedia has notability requirements that must be met before they'll host a page. Basically, we need media or other prominent discussions of Codidact that didn't come fro... (more) |

Thanks for this thoughtful analysis! I agree with a lot of what you say here. You mentioned that the qpixel code makes you want to learn Ruby; just as an FYI, a couple of our contributors did not know Ruby when they started. If you're interested in getting involved with platform development, our l... (more) |

If anybody can help us get the media references that would help satisfy Wikipedia's notability requirements, that would be great! I would particularly like to see us on [this list](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Q%26A_sites) (with linked page). (more) |

Filters as a separate thing are part of that feature request I want to write but haven't yet. (The main part is "user-defined", but that pretty much forces separate placement.) (more) |

Oh, good idea -- use the controls we have already, and change the default. (We're going to hit a point soon when we have too many buttons there, but by then maybe we'll have built a filtering UI and won't need as many horizontal buttons.)
I agree we don't want to call it "hot". Besides what you ... (more) |

A: Should we modify the default (front) page for anonymous visitors? As a starting point for discussion, I suggest that the logged-out view not show any posts that are closed or have a score worse than that of +0/-1. We're not trying to pretend that downvotes never happen, just mitigate their aggregate effect. I'm proposing this for the default view only. Someon... (more) |

| Question | — |
Should we modify the default (front) page for anonymous visitors? A complaint we've heard a lot is that when a community's front page has many questions that are not well-received, it deters visitors. (It also deters some people who are already here, I know.) This is not a good look: post list: 0/0, 0/-2, 2/-5, 0/-2, 0/-3, 0/-6, 1/-1, 0/-3 I'm trying not to... (more) |

@#54706 agreed -- not trivial, but when we set up Software Dev we did so anticipating that sub-communities might eventually split off, so nothing *prevents* it AFAIK other than deciding about things like the points you raised. Merger is probably the easier case: nobody's going to lose abilities, and... (more) |

Re "does the software support it?": I think we can assume that if this is what both communities want, we can find a way to do it. (Probably through direct database manipulation by one of the devs with access.) (more) |

I noticed this a while back and filed [an issue](https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/issues/679) on GitHub, but it looks like no one's gotten to it yet. I agree the current situation is confusing. We didn't think to poke at "all reactions disabled" in testing, oops. (more) |

I'm not seeing the tag on the post or in the editor. Are you still? If so, do you also see it in a different browser or incognito window? (I'm wondering if something is being too-heavily cached.) (more) |

Reactions are signed, not anonymous (unlike votes). Does that make a difference? (I'm not arguing either way, just probing.) (more) |

About upper case: we didn't think to disallow it, and then somebody used it for a proper name. I think there was some discussion somewhere after that, but inconclusive. We should probably discuss making tags case-preserving but case-insensitive, to prevent "Tag" and "tag" coexisting in the same tag... (more) |

A: Response to Monica Cellio's cross posts — "How can we grow this community"? I'm sorry if I didn't make the purpose of these posts clear enough. We are asking each individual community to talk about those communities. We're not looking for general suggestions like "use Reddit"; that's not actionable. But if, say, there's a particular subreddit that is well-aligned with one... (more) |
