Sure, I'm not asking people to do excessive work; everyone has competing demands for time and attention, after all. If you bring good Q&A here, we appreciate it! That you didn't spend all your waking hours bringing *more* of it is not a fault. :-) (more) |

A: Dealing with questions "settled on" Stack Overflow Partial answer, which I hope to flesh out later (but probably won't have time today): I hope that people will ask questions here, regardless of whether they've been asked elsewhere, when someone here cares about the topic.[^1] This can be because you have a question, but it can also be because yo...

A: "Needs author's attention" should not be a flag option We have a change pending to remove this non-flag from the flag list. (There's a story there that I'll get back to.) To the point raised in another answer, people can still use "other" to request closure. Something that came up in the discussion of this change was: how should we let people flag f... (more) |

I don't know, bus suspect, that tag merges or synonyms are involved. I notice that two of those other three tags don't exist any more, and one has 0 posts. Maybe post *display* and post *editing* aren't quite in sync in the presence of tag restructuring? (I'm guessing, so I'm just leaving this com... (more) |

A: Cannot accept suggested edits to my post, because I don't have permission to change moderator-only tags Thanks for the report. The approval failed because the edit added a moderator-only tag -- `default-rules` on Code Golf, like the `status-` tags, can only be added by moderators. But they can be suggested by anyone, which we should probably revisit to avoid situations like this. I know there's been... (more) |

A: How can users submit a GDPR request (e.g. delete account, rectify data, etc) online? We don't have a form, but you can email us to request this.

Please do not drastically change already-answered questions. It makes it hard to understand the answers in their original context. I have restored the first version of the question. It looks like the feedback here helped you realize that what you're really looking for isn't direct messages but a m... (more) |

I was thinking of "resolved by $user" being in the same place as "Andreas wrote $time ago" is in this thread -- meta-information provided by the system, as distinct from the actual comment text. (more) |

A: Notifying each other that a commented-on issue is resolved, to produce fewer comments rather than more One advantage of threaded comments is that the exchange isn't in anybody's way. If User A posts, User B comments, User A says "thanks, fixed", and nothing else happens, no harm done. If that's the entire thread, either of them could flag a comment and say that the entire thread is now obsolete. ... (more) |

Oh sorry, I meant the close options, not the flag options. I don't think we can define custom flags right now. I don't remember why the flag options don't include all the close options, but adding that seems like a good idea. (more) |

FYI, curators can see certain flags on the posts themselves, but they don't get notifications like mods do and maybe that's something we should improve. "Mod attention" flags go only to mods/admins, but, for example, curators can see spam flags. Or at least that's the intention -- we also still nee... (more) |

The close reason we have now (just here on Meta) is "outdated or superseded", and using the reason requires a link. Not everything that is outdated is completed; sometimes a proposal led to a follow-on, like the last link in the question. Status tags wouldn't fit there; the post is neither complete... (more) |

A: Could we have an alphabetic sort option for tags? This is a good suggestion, and I thought "oh, just adding another button there -- that might be easy enough that even I can do it!". And then I realized there's something else we ought to address as part of this, and I'm definitely not good enough with Ruby for that, so I wrote a Github feature requ... (more) |

Where is that button you mentioned in your last paragraph? It looks like I forgot to update some configuration when I assed that community, which I'll hunt down and fix (page footer for instance), and I'd like to fix that error at the same time. (more) |

A: How can we poll a community? The approach of one answer per option has another benefit: someone might think of something else, or propose a refinement of an existing option. I recommend that approach -- describe the problem in the question, describe possible solutions in answers (one per answer), invite other answers if applica... (more) |

I don't see a problem with adding Mathjax to the general formatting help, with a preface about it only being enabled on some communities, if that makes this easier to manage. (Sounds like it would?) (more) |

| Question | — |
Who should be able to create new tags? It's been pointed out in a few places that, so long as creating tags is much easier than managing them, we're going to have problems handling typos, duplicates, and tags that otherwise ought not exist. There's a separate question about the maintenance side; my question here is: what should determine... (more) |

| Comment | Post #74961 |
Sorry for the delayed response. A single post on Meta is fine; if we need to break it up into pieces for resolution, we can do that downstream (via GitHub issues). We want to make it as easy as possible for our users to let us know about problems or request changes; don't feel like you have to divi... (more) |

Just to clarify: our baseline network policy bars *undisclosed* AI content because it's plagiarism, and allows moderators to summarily delete *disclosed* AI content because it's usually of poor quality. Individual communities are free to say "no we welcome that content", so long as its provenance is... (more) |

It's odd that we have both `notification` and `notifications` -- presumably an error at some point compounded by auto-complete suggestions. I'm about to merge these. (Separately we have `email-notifications`, which isn't involved.)

UI considerations were part of it. We asked ourselves: what do we need to do to support a reasonable display of all the tags (on a post and in the post list) including on phones? Having _some_ limit made sense. From there, I think we just went with something that seemed to work Somewhere Else. I ... (more) |
