Ah, thanks. Yes, that I can reproduce. So when you tab out of the textbox the button lights up; looks like we need to do whatever check we're doing when you click out for tab too. (more) |

Yes! I'm really proud of everybody involved -- our community members and leaders (without whom we would be in trouble), the team building the platform, all the people who help us make it better by testing, poking at things, and asking "why?" and other questions. We've been able to do some significa... (more) |

Happy Birthday, Codidact! It feels like we celebrated Codidact’s first birthday only yesterday and that Codidact was founded just a few days ago, but here we are. Codidact is now officially two years old! [^1] Two years ago luap42 set up the Discord server that led to all the discussions that led to this network and the code... (more) |

I can't reproduce now, using Chrome. Can you? Specifically, I started a 14-character comment and then tried the following tests:
(1) shift: button not enabled;
(2) shift-enter: button enabled, which is correct because that's the 15th character.
I then removed a character (so down to 13) and... (more) |

A: Get a [faq] tag, mods! There doesn't seem to be consensus for all communities, but any community that wants new moderator-only tags, FAQ or otherwise, can have them -- just let us know (on your community's meta). The category definition includes a place to add such tags. (On our earliest communities, before we had some o... (more) |

A comment thread was archived because it looked like the changes discussed in it were made. I might have misunderstood. You can still see it; you have to click on "show more" under the other threads. (more) |

Sounds good, thanks. I archived it because I wasn't sure if it provided context for edits, should anybody be looking at the post history later. Probably could have deleted, but I took the less-destructive option, which still gets the thread out of the way. (more) |

Oh, I'm sorry -- I mistook the "I have edited to explain" to refer to a *post* edit, so I (and a flagger) thought the whole thing was obsolete. Does this thread cover it, or should I un-archive the other one? (more) |

I'd say a combination. Moderators can suspend the ability right now if they want to; maybe we didn't do a good-enough job of communicating that with them. But some sort of automated traffic control also sounds like a good idea. (more) |

Maybe I'm in a minority, but I'd rather have the tags in the title. When I go to a question page I read from the top down, but the tags are at the bottom. (I once proposed moving tags to right after the title, but it didn't go over well.) I don't know why SO has that policy or whether it's been di... (more) |

That's an interesting idea -- a sort of "share the space" measure, as opposed to an absolute threshold. A busy community can more easily absorb a few bad questions. (more) |

A: Let's improve how we handle duplicates Update based on feedback I really like the ideas proposed in this answer, which at the time of this posting has the same vote count as this question (+6, -0).

A: Hobbling of users who consistently post low-quality content It sounds like we want to temporarily revoke a person's ability to make lots of posts when recent quality is an issue. The Participate Everywhere ability allows one to post without limit. Nominally, the requirement to earn it is: > To earn this ability, you need to have roughly 75% of your pos... (more) |

I mocked up an [example for site proposals](https://a.dev.codidact.org/posts/313) on the test server -- take a look. Note that reactions are per post type, *not* per post type per category; I created a "proposal" type that's like questions, so it could have its own reactions. (more) |

*Who* voted isn't public, but the fact that you *got* votes is public.
Reactions are signed, so there's no expectation of privacy there. (more) |

| Comment | Post #284494 |
According to the [announcement](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/284455), that's possible now. I'm not sure, but it might need an admin assist to turn on reactions for other post types. Let us know what you'd like for your communities and we'll try to help. Or for here on Meta, I guess make a meta ... (more) |

A: Allow a user to edit a threaded comment's title after the threaded comment has been created I think it's reasonable for the person who created the thread to be able to edit the title so long as the only comments are from that user. As soon as there's a comment from someone else, though, there's the chance that changing the thread title can affect context for those comments (or even can be ... (more) |

This question came up in the earlier design discussions, but it looks like we never resolved it. We want to give some indication that reactions might be obsolete, but we don't want a trivial edit to cause this effect (fixing a typo doesn't make the answer not outdated, usually).
I like the idea o... (more) |

You can dismiss it by clicking on the "react" link under the voting buttons again. This is like flags, close, the inbox, etc -- not super-obvious, but yes you can get rid of it again. (more) |

True, you can edit and at least say there's a problem even if you don't yet know what the fix is. And if a self-answer works, somebody else might add that reaction. (more) |

A: Should it be possible to "react" to one's own posts? Good question. A reaction doesn't bestow benefits (reputation, progress toward abilities, or preferential placement on the page), so in one sense reacting to your own post is harmless. On the other hand, it does add an attention-grabbing marker, and it might make sense to restrict that. I've bee... (more) |

@#53503 oh right, sorry -- you need to opt in to that. See the "so you're a moderator now" topic in the help on the community where you're a moderator. Sounds like we need to be more proactive in pointing new mods to that, sorry. (more) |

We've sent mail to moderators letting them know that (a) this is live and (b) how to configure it on their communities.

I downloaded your PNG and was able to upload it in an answer on that post. You linked to a comment thread; were you trying to embed the image in the comment? How were you doing that (since we don't provide the uploader widget on comments)? Please add more information about what you did. (more) |

A: Split any question post with two or more questions into several posts (per the number of questions) and attribute it to the asker Sometimes several questions are closely related and are best handled as a group, as this answer says. Sometimes the asker (who is, pretty much by definition, less expert than the people who will answer the question) can't tell whether questions are closely related and should be handled together. ...

What I meant is: should the whole page, including answers, be blocked because you blocked the asker? Even if there's an outstanding answer that someone linked to that you want to read?

Thanks @#53526! I, too, find it exciting to be able to build -- and adjust -- what our communities need, with a lot more flexibility than is available in some platforms/projects/sites. I love that we aren't stuck with limitations baked into the code base a decade ago! (more) |

| Comment | Post #284228 |
"Similar" (nice suggestion) and "exact duplicate" seem like useful terms. "Similar" questions would remain answerable; exact duplicates wouldn't. We probably want them to share some workflow; I expect a lot of nominations to start as one and end up as the other. So maybe we present a list of quest... (more) |

Your comments make me think of "related questions" or, if that sounds too broad, "question clusters". If people interested in question A probably also want to see question B, we should have some way (that's less ad-hoc than reading comment threads) to create those connections.
I'm not thinking of... (more) |

| Comment | Post #284228 |
Thank you for this thoughtful feedback. I like the ideas you're suggesting here. One of the reasons I wanted to separate duplicate evaluation from other closure (and not even call dupes "closed") is the negative feelings that closure can carry. We certainly don't want askers to feel bullied as som... (more) |
