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) |

| Answer | — |
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, too, had Languages & Linguistics in mind, and I don't know if "works for me" makes sense on Code Golf. We chose a starting set that we think makes sense and adds value on *most... (more) |

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) |

| Answer | — |
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? You wouldn't want to have to unblock Troll666 just to read an answer from AwesomeExpert, right? Sure, without rea... (more) |

If you're blocking someone who asked a question, what should happen if you navigate to the page via an answer link or comment thread? (more) |

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) |

"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) |

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) |

A "disagree" vote would start a new round of voting, and if the net score reaches the threshold it's un-duped. I see I described the notice but didn't include the voting buttons there, oops. (If someone disagrees, there's a notice about "might have been incorrectly marked...", which should get "it'... (more) |

@#53196 re first comment: yes, people can agree or disagree while the suggestion is pending:

| Question | — |
Let's improve how we handle duplicates Currently, marking a question as a duplicate is part of question closure. Duplicates are a little different from other close reasons, though -- often the question itself is clear, complete, and otherwise solid, but it happens to have been asked before. Question closure can leave people feeling j... (more) |

I don't think this is correct. As another answer says, the user-authentication system isn't tied to the Codidact network; you can set up your own, just as the users on our test server are separate from this network. While the Codidact team can't commit to debugging every problem that comes up, we a... (more) |

That's a good point about positioning, @#8056. Maybe that expander (or those expanders, in the case of an answer, coming soon) should be below the title. (more) |

| Comment | Post #283998 |
@#8056 your last request is already there. The post is behind an expander so people looking for comments jump to comments, but you can expand to see the post. Coming soon: if the post is an answer, you'll also be able to see the question from the thread page. (more) |

Code Golf might have a use case for this, though it would require cross-category duplicates too: they want to be able to mark sandbox posts, which are articles, as "finalized", meaning the challenge was posted. If you come across such a sandbox post, it'd sure be handy to be able to go straight to t... (more) |

A: Show more threaded comments after clicking the title of a threaded discussion I agree that someone who asks for the comments should see the comments, especially with the "collapse" control. Very occasionally here (so far; this happened often on some sites Someplace Else), there will be a very long comment thread, by which I mean 20+. Over there we sometimes saw 100+ commen... (more) |

Thanks Mark! I'm looking forward to more growth too. We're a lot smaller than Some Other places, but I hope we distinguish ourselves in how we treat people and work together. It's going to take time to spread the word, but everybody who helps others have good experiences here helps us grow. (more) |

Sorry, I was slow to create the usual answer to collect interest, but now that we have threaded comments, I think this is better -- anybody can add a comment and you don't need to wait for someone with privileges to edit the post.

Also, when composing a post, the button is initially disabled, and when you type enough text in the body it's enabled -- even before you fill in a title. Once you start to type the title it's disabled again until it's long enough. We should check *all* requirements, not just the active field, befor... (more) |
