Combining several suggestions here: if a post has active (pending) spam flags, then we take the following actions: For anonymous users (people not logged in), we don't render the links. For log...
I've been thinking about abilities again lately (and for a while), because they're too hard to earn but just tweaking the Wilson numbers won't fix it. The fundamental problem is that a single nega...
If we allow immediate updates to be "folded into" the original post, I would want to block it if anybody has interacted with the post -- if someone voted in that first minute, then an unannounced e...
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 ...
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...
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...
This is now fixed. A "copy" button appears in the top right corner of a code block on hover (desktop) or on tap (mobile).
I'm speaking only for myself here. Unfortunately, we're still kind of winging this, and learning as we go. We now realize we launched some early communities without enough active, engaged members,...
You can now use tables in HTML or Markdown. See an example with Markdown: | Latin | English | Spanish | Catalan | |-------- |--------- |--------- |--------- | | filum | thread | hilo...
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 a...
Please go ahead and flag. As another answer points out, this could feed into automatic actions in the future and, in any case, feeds into abilities now (which, yes, also need changes). When looki...
We need to figure out tags in the "Site Proposals" category. I noticed that some proposals were tagged "suggestion" and some "new-communities" and started to replace the former with the latter, an...
We now have a couple anti-spam measures in place: In user profiles, when the user has not yet earned Participate Everywhere, we do not render links to anonymous viewers. Logged-in users still...
We have pushed a change that replaces the website and Twitter fields on the profile with three generic label/value pairs. These are shown as "extra fields" on the profile after the profile text. ...
There are some additional sections visible only to admins and/or global moderators, which is why the heading exists at all. But you're right: for the vast majority of people, that's the only visib...
I'd like to see the "score bar" vertically align with the title, instead of being vertically centered in the whole "slot" for the post. (I didn't notice this with shorter titles in testing -- shou...
You can see your own deleted questions if you have the URLs, but we haven't yet implemented a way for you to see those links in the UI (like with a "deleted" tab or filter on your profile). I've e...
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 oth...
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...
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...
Our tag-management UI isn't that advanced yet. (We also don't yet have rename or merge.) Until we can fix that, please make a support request and an admin will make the change. You can make a me...
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. Doin...
There is a community aspect to this that can be lost if we just think of questions as being things that fit into buckets (sites). A user might choose to ask a question on the "general" site instea...
We need to create some better "new community" documentation, but moderators will be able to do most of what you need, so first we have to identify the initial moderators. (Eventually each communit...
