Q&A Don't add duplicate notifications if an unread notification for the same event type and parent post already exists

I was away from Codidact for a few hours and, coming back, saw that I had ⑨ unread notifications. Practically as I was watching it, the number grew to ⑩. This wouldn't be so bad, but it turned ou...

Q&A closure-as-duplicate post notice is inaccurate

Maybe what we need here is some way to close a question as "superseded by" another question; not really a duplicate per se, but something that works similarly from a technical and user perspective,...

Q&A Should we have "Last seen" times?

I would be inclined to argue against keeping track of "last seen" times; and even more so against publicly dispaying it. From simply a legal perspective, there's the issue of the GDPR's requirement...

Q&A Should we modify the default (front) page for anonymous visitors?

I agree that such a front page looks bad. I also agree with a comment that trying to simply hide poorly received posts is hiding the problem instead of solving it. It's sweeping the problem under ...

Q&A Allow licence change when there's only one contributor

It should be possible for you to fix your mistake by, if nothing else, deleting the post and re-posting it with the correct license. Doing so would effectively dual-license it, under CC-BY-SA and C...

Q&A Is it possible to delete account community-wise?

You only have one account across all of *.codidact.com, so you can't delete it on a per-community basis. See for example the fact that your user ID (number) is the same on all sites, and that the l...
