I haven't consulted with the rest of the team yet, so treat this as my personal opinion and not Codidact policy, please. Under the terms of the Creative Commons license used at SE (and here), quot...
One of the things we look for in a new site is enough interested participants to make it viable. We now ask people to make their interest known, because votes don't necessarily correlate with inte...
We don't have a custom reason yet, but there is now a third option: no public reason. This means you don't have to give a wrong reason, even if you can't customize a right reason.
In an ideal world, bug reports and support requests would be a separate stream from discussions and feature requests. We work with the tools we have, while also working to improve them. (A few pe...
Various things, not all of them understood, affect the accuracy of the reported reputation number. For example, sometimes a post is deleted or undeleted but the reputation adjustments don't get ma...
I strongly agree that being able to add a new answer after a question has been deleted doesn't make sense, and that most people also shouldn't be able to add comments. (Moderators should be able t...
The "recent deletions" link under mod tools is consistently returning a 500 server error for me. One reference: 2ba998b1-84b1-4675-aeb8-bebcf3465b5f I've tried this on two sites. It's been a few ...
I think tags should be case-preserving and also case-independent. By this I mean: I do not want us to have two tags that differ only in capitalization, because I think that will lead to errors and...
I think you're asking about what SE calls community wiki, as opposed to the community user. On SE, the Community user owns things that are otherwise ownerless, like posts from deleted users. Comm...
Thank you for raising this question. We've been a little vague in our plans for comments, aside from (irony alert) comment threads in some Figma wireframes that aren't the most visible. Speaking f...
We have some early, crude wireframes showing our ideas on comment threading: collapsed threads under a post, expanded thread. Be sure to turn on the comments view. It looks like you need a Figma ...
On a list of questions or posts, each entry has a "last activity" indicator showing who last changed it and when. Would it be possible to have "last activity" be a link to the post that changed? ...
The prerequisites for various site activities (currently reputation, to be replaced with trust levels) are configurable per site. The difference you're seeing for voting isn't so much intentional ...
I, too, find that the deleted comments get in the way, but I'd propose a simpler structure. We mods and admins don't need to see the entire structure in an overview; we just need to know that ther...
I made that design decision. If it doesn't work we can of course change it, but the reasoning is pretty much what @pnuts said in another answer. On other sites I've seen a lot of bad titles, ones...
One thing that's hard for us to gauge, and is important for a new community to get off the ground, is level of interest. People might upvote a proposal out of interest ("I'd read that") or because...
We have some posting tips on the "ask question" (or "create post" etc) pages, and we plan to add better contextual help in the future. Another way to guide people would be with templates, a "proto...
If you know that a bug or feature request is broader than just your site, it's better to post it on main meta if you can. (Things known to be specific to one site belong on the per-site meta.) Re...
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 ...
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 ...
I've encountered this too and agree that the current behavior leaves room for improvement. I wouldn't want to see an automatic "dismiss all" action when you look at your notifications. This is wha...
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. Here's how I se...
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 on the wiki. Key d...
