A: Moderation queues for questions and answers By queues I assume you mean review queues like on SE. We haven't designed anything like that yet, though we've discussed the need specifically for a way to see pending suggested edits. (A lot of forum discussions were treating the SE interface as a starting point.) In general, I have been thinking... (more) |

We'll need to consider edits, too. Consider a post that was originally fine and then was edited to add NSFW content. Also consider a post that was suspect, reviewed and approved (not NSFW) by moderators, and then edited. (I don't know if those two cases are the same.) (more) |

We've said before, and I'll say again, that we're going to show some other stats with users, something to indicate the volume of activity and overall scoring. No there will not be rep because rep as it exists (both here and on SE) is a flawed model. It'll be something more like "17 answers (15 well... (more) |

A: Professional coding (Moving this here from another proposal; I forgot about this one and it fits better here.) Discussion here and elsewhere led me to ask How should we approach a programming site or sites?. It currently has 21 upvotes and several answers, which I'll take as interest. There's a lot of discussion ... (more) |

I don't see a problem with the author of a deleted question being able to see all answers that were not explicitly deleted. That is, if something got deleted while the question was still live, the author wouldn't have been able to see that, so shouldn't gain that access through question deletion. B... (more) |

While the problems you list certainly exist, they also exist on other sites with varied backgrounds and topics that can be *very* detail-oriented and precise. There's only so much that tooling and configuration can do, so this is an area where community curators need to help guide people, edit, reta... (more) |

Oops, yeah -- authors should be able to see that. I'll add it to our board. If you want a copy of the text so you can work on it offline, just let me know how to get it to you (or we can undelete and you can add a "work in progress" notice to the top if you prefer). Sorry about the inconvenience! (more) |

Another consideration: questions that compare more than one language. I think we want a single Q&A category, with strong tagging. (more) |

My primary concern here is that if we end up with 10+ categories, that poses both UI and UX challenges we did not plan for when designing categories. I like this idea in principle but I'm not sure how to approach it. Do language *families* make sense as an organizing principle, or is that no better... (more) |

@becky82 the basic Unicode support is there. On the Judaism site we ended up changing to a different font for legibility -- not a big deal; just had to find one. I don't know Arabic so I don't know if the default font is satisfactory. (more) |

Hi @becky82 and thanks for commenting! Wow, I wonder what the problem is with the Arabic proposal. They're welcome to come here and join this proposal. (We'll need to add Arabic font support, but we added Hebrew for the Judaism site so we're not starting from square 1.) (more) |

Are you involved in that A51 proposal or in contact with the people who are working on it?

I see 8 upvotes here (one of them is mine),... (more) |

A: Should we start displaying the score of a post instead of the raw votes? If we show raw Wilson score I think we're going to see a lot of confusion and questions -- "is 0.65 good?" "what does it take to get to 0.8?" etc. Even if we explain that it's a value from 0 to 1 indicating some quality measure, I don't think it's all that meaningful to show that number to most peop...

A: Notification system improvements I've encountered this too and agree that the current behavior leaves room for improvement.

If we build a general software-development site, I think having a careers category there would enhance it. It'd be software-specific, not like Workplace.SE, but Workplace.SE was pretty software-heavy and certainly assumed office jobs (as compared to, say, plumbers or teachers, which were supposed to...

@Marco13 I think it would start with a meta discussion -- first consensus that it's time to spin off, then consensus on what tags to consider, and then (in my proposal) setting up a category where people can review that to see whether that set of questions is what people meant in the earlier discussi...

A: How should we approach a programming site or sites? Based on all the feedback here (and also on the related site proposals), I put forth this proposal: Create a single Software Development site, planning from the start for spinoffs.

Yes I asked for that too. We're going to add "include in ads?" as a configuration option for categories, so we can turn it off for meta and leave it up to communities whether to include other categories like contests. (And if a community doesn't want to have random-post ads at all, they can just tu... (more) |

A: Scoring System for Trust Level Requirements Update: Based on this question, this answer, feedback on both, the original spec for trust levels, and lots of discussion in chat, I've posted a new specification for privileges-(Take-2)) on the wiki.

I upvoted for "we should make it clear", not to support the example of summary removal by staff. I agree that the process should apply no matter who appointed the mod. Mods should be able to do their jobs without feeling hindered by concerns about unjust removal. (more) |

If we're concerned about noisy/nefarious appeals flooding the list and making it hard to find the real ones, they don't all have to be mingled on the same list -- deliberated appeals on one list, summary judgements on another. And it would be fine to aggregate them where applicable, e.g. "July 2020,... (more) |

Related: https://meta.codidact.com/questions/276618.

On the "gating", see [this post about rethinking how we structure trust levels](https://meta.codidact.com/questions/276209). It proposes more independent measures, so editing has a path and posting has a path and closing has a path etc. (more) |

In our current spec for trust levels, trust for close votes is based on successful flagging. That could possibly be refined; on SE you wouldn't want the people running Smoke Detector auto-flaggers for spam to earn privileges on sites they're not otherwise on. But the basic idea is that they're both... (more) |

I agree about exclusionary naming. I think we can address the very real concern raised by @Lundin with clear messaging both in the Q&A category description (the line you see at the top of the page) and in the guidance on the "ask" page, which can be customized per-site. These are tools that weren't... (more) |

A: Post action links that cannot be used should be hidden I'd like to move Close and Delete to the Tools menu (now that we have that menu). This menu is generated based on what you have the privilege to do, so that's a better place for these items. Doing this also reduces the number of options a user has to consider on each post. Flag should stay visib... (more) |
