Hi sheela, thanks for the suggestion! I'm wondering what specifically you're referring to with "score" - do you mean the Wilson score (a number between 0 and 1 that appears when you hover over the bar or the vote counts), or are you referring to a combined view of the up- and downvotes?

Recent outages and site reliability improvements We've recently been having some trouble with the uptime of the Codidact Network, with the entire network going down and becoming unavailable for stretches of time. The most egregious case was from November 17–18, 2023, when the network was down for a period of roughly 15 hours. Since then, we'v... (more) |

"Everyone" includes people with disabilities, and so that means making our site and posts as accessible as possible. To make that clear to everyone, I've put together the following do... (more) |

A: How do I "answer" a feature request or a bug report? In addition to what Monica wrote, yes, a bug report or a feature request is indeed a "call-to-action to the developers", and as such can only really be answered by the developers. Let me introduce you to the developers of the network: You. The entire platform is open-source and volunteer-devel... (more) |

A decorative image is an image that contains no information that is not already present in the text. Examples include images included for aesthetic purposes, or cases like a picture of a quote (such as from a manuscript) where the text is already present in the answer.

| Question | — |
Add an explicit Markdown syntax for decorative images When uploading an image on a Codidact community, users are prompted to add alt text - a text alternative to an image - for that image. If they go to submit a post without doing so, or when submitting a post with blank alt text, they are reminded with a link to the help center page on alt text. How... (more) |

A: How to import my StackExchange questions into Codidact? Welcome to Codidact! This option refers to large-scale data imports that we performed on a couple communities - such as Writing and Outdoors - when we first started in 2019. However, we soon discovered that importing content wasn't good for us for multiple reasons, including making community-build... (more) |

A: Probationary shadowban for new accounts I'm not quite sure what you mean by "shadowban", but this does pretty much exist already. Most communities on the network - I believe all of them except for Electrical Engineering at the moment - currently have "new site mode" enabled, which grants all new users the Participate Everywhere ability,...

Just noting here that codidact.com itself runs off of different software than the rest of the network - the source code for that page can be found at https://github.com/codidact/community-list.
That has some upsides and downsides. If the network goes down temporarily due to a memory issue or similar... (more) |

A: Referencing Stack Exchange progress on profiles We are not Stack Exchange. While we share some ideals with SE, and have a similar Q&A-based system, the two platforms operate differently and with differing goals. The feature sets are different, certain policies are different, and experience from one will not directly translate into experience on... (more) |

A: Add an entry for the "Participate" ability to the help center Done. I've also fixed several typos while I was at it, as well as some general rewording for clarity. I've also added a section to that doc about why some users may earn the "Participate Everywhere" Ability immediately upon joining the community. As far as I'm aware, all communities except for Ele...

The mods can then look into it, and escalate it to the Codidact Team if necessary.
