| Question | — |
Hobbling of users who consistently post low-quality content There are, unfortunately, a few users on Codidact who relatively consistently make low-quality contributions. These posts often come in bursts and tend to be downvoted fairly quickly, but that doesn't slow them down. I propose that Codidact should implement some manner in which to slow down such u...

Perhaps this should be an answer to my question [Should it be possible to "react" to one's own posts?](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/284457) Either way, I'm not quite sure what kind of response this question seeks. You tagged this post discussion, but phrased the final paragraph as some kind of req... (more) |

@#8058 Editing to fix outdatedness or dangerousness might require significant work, which one might not want to put in at the time. (Adding a reaction is comparatively a very rapid operation.) Also, some things might be dangerous by their very nature, and there's nothing to be done about that. Being ... (more) |

I've been thinking some about that last part as well. I haven't quite made up my mind, but I'm leaning toward somehow signifying the fact that a reaction is from either (a) the top-level post owner, or (b) the reacted-to post owner, would convey useful information in many situations. Case (a) would b... (more) |

| Question | — |
Should it be possible to "react" to one's own posts? We now have reactions. However, I notice that there seems to be nothing stopping a user from "reacting" to their own posts. For some reactions, this might make sense. For example, an outdated answer might be kept around for reference or for the benefit of some subset of readers, but the user po... (more) |

@#8046 No matter what starting set of reactions is provided, it'd be wrong in *some* manner *somewhere*. I agree that it's better to try to make it *reasonable* for most communities and allow for configuration. A reaction like "dangerous" might not make much sense on [Writing](https://writing.codidac...

@#53078 "Works for me" seems every bit as useful at least for support questions on Meta as for the typical question on, say, Power Users or Software Development.
I'm having a harder time imagining a legitimate situation where one might want to use, say, "dangerous" on Languages & Linguistics, but ... (more) |

@#8163 How does the fact that users X, Y and Z configure the system such that *they* don't see contributions by user W prevent rudeness on the part of user W? If anything, it seems to me that it would *reduce* the set of possible flaggers, thereby doing nothing to reduce, and possibly extending, the ... (more) |

A: I would like basic killfile functionality. I think I can see where this desire might be coming from. However, I also think that what is proposed here is the wrong solution. If a user is consistently being mean and rude over time, then they are clearly neither nice nor respectful. Content that is in violation of the Code of Conduct sh... (more) |

Tag edit major weirdness Okay, I honestly don't know what might be up with this. "Major weirdness here", is about all I can say from the perspective of a user.

I'm getting the behavior that OP is describing, running Firefox 78.14.0esr. Simply triple-clicking the question title on the question page is sufficient to demonstrate this for me; a copy and paste into a plain text editor further confirms it. A quick look at the actual HTML source code of the page a... (more) |

@#8045 I take that back. The same thing happened again now; going to the front page (not yet logged in), got a Cloudflare browser check which completed successfully, and resulted in a POST request to `https://meta.codidact.com/?__cf_chl_jschl_tk__=...` which gave me a 404 response back. If I click in... (more) |

@#8045 I still got the "browser check" just now, ~~but at least when it went through, I was properly redirected to a functional site front page (which, although I didn't explicitly check that, would mean a GET, not a POST, request). So whatever change you made might at least have fixed the worse part... (more) |

Adding to what @#53398 wrote above, while *I am not a lawyer*, for @#53922 (or anyone else) to actually make the qpixel source code available under a different license would almost certainly be copyright infringement by way of offering something under terms not granted by the copyright holders.

@#8058 I'm not sure how my geographical location would influence how qpixel responds to a request it receives? The bigger issue I'm raising here isn't the browser check (that's a nuisance, but not a problem), but the fact that I get a 404 once it completes. (more) |

| Question | — |
Cloudflare "checking my browser" results in a 404 when forwarded to the requested page For some reason, Cloudflare has apparently decided that my browser is untrustworthy as of late, and want to do something to "check" it before allowing me to access Codidact. That's a snag, but wouldn't be so bad in the end were it not for the fact that when the checking (which of course requires J... (more) |

It seems to me that the only part to this answer that really addresses the question is the heading. OP claims to have been able to set up QPixel locally, so what you are talking about seems to not even apply. Also, what does specific licensing terms for content have to do with user authentication on ... (more) |

Can we please stop linkifying random strings that happen to look like domain names? Currently, strings that look like some subset of fully qualified domain names are automatically turned into links to the corresponding `http://` resource. So, for example, example.com becomes a link to http://example.com, and something.example.com becomes a link to `http://something.example.com`, but... (more) |

How computerized automation might affect live births could also be a question on medical care.

A: Show more threaded comments after clicking the title of a threaded discussion I agree that showing just the first five comments is a little on the low end in many cases. I don't think blindly increasing this to "the first ten", or to "all", is the correct solution, however. I would instead propose that, when expanding a comment thread in-place: the initial 1-2 comme... (more) |

Other top bar drop-downs should be closed when another is opened By clicking first on the inbox icon in the top bar, then the site selector down arrow, it's possible to open both at the same time. However, it's not particularly useful, as the inbox dropdown will overlap the better part of the site selector dropdown. I propose that whenever a top bar dropdown is... (more) |

@#53922 Doesn't seem to be fixed yet, even though 2021-08-26 (as currently indicated in the page footer) is much later than 2021-08-20 (when you started this comment thread). Yes, it now shows "0 / 1000" instead of "0 / 255" immediately after clicking "edit", but the character count of 0 is still jus... (more) |

@#8058 From an edit point of view, there is currently no difference between fixing a one-character typo in or completely replacing the post body; IMO tags shouldn't be different in terms of what's captured in the history. Both are examples of changes that made the post what it is at the time of viewi... (more) |

Renaming a tag rewrites history I proposed an edit to a post to add the then-existing proposal tag. The edit was approved, and the post currently shows as most recently edited by me.

When an answer is shown out of order, the notice doesn't account for sorting by activity When linking directly to an answer, that answer is shown at the top of the answers section and just now, a notice was added to inform the user of this.

@#53922 The linked PR was committed and merged Aug 21, but the footer here indicates that the qpixel version running is from Aug 19. So unless someone has invented time travel without telling the rest of us, the changes in PR#639 can't possibly be in the running code. (more) |
