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) |

Nope, @#64277 - that page existed already, and I can't edit it through the UI. I just linked it from the Help article. (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...

A: After I logged in, 418 STAT ERROR. "Please re-enable the encryption protocol." You seem to have run afoul of one of our system blocks. This particular system is usually engaged by a pattern of poor behavior across multiple accounts. While I can't detail exactly how this system works, and what causes it, the best way to avoid getting trapped by it is to avoid getting involved... (more) |

A: Feature request: direct messages I don't believe this is something that we're considering for the general userbase, for several reasons. Our mission The mission of the Codidact Network is to provide a space for communities to share, maintain, and curate an information repository, through tooling and support specialized for the...

A: Privacy policy needs meta-variables to be expanded This has been fixed, thank you. I've restored it to the version last updated on March 9th, 2023, according to my local files from when we were making changes at the time. (Although since it only went live on the 16th, according to the blog, I've adjusted the date to properly show when the last update... (more) |

A: Do these comments follow our Code of Conduct? No, these comments are not in line with the text or spirit of the Code of Conduct. I've gone ahead and removed or edited these particular cases. A couple notes: Please don't call out individuals in public. The original revision of this question called out the author by name, in public; please ... (more) |

A: What do we do with suspected AI users? As with most other suspected violations of site policy, please raise a moderator flag. The mods can then look into it, and escalate it to the Codidact Team if necessary. The mods and admins can then evaluate if it's actually AI-generated (or if we're confident enough to take action), and then remove ... (more) |

It looks like you planned on including a footnote that didn't make it into the final draft. The footnote should probably be added or the marker removed :) (more) |

A: What should I do when I come across PII in a post? We've just released a new feature that allows for redaction of revision histories. This feature was originally developed by @Taeir for use in his university's private instance in order to redact cases where students would post exam answers. After some discussion, where we decided that this would b... (more) |

| Question | — |
What should I do when I come across PII in a post? Sometimes, posts can accidentally contain personal information that shouldn't be out on the internet, such as real names, real IP addresses, home addresses, or other pieces of PII (Personally Identifiable Information). As a user, I can edit the post to remove it (or suggest an edit), but even then... (more) |

I'm not sure. That would be consistent, but maybe it should stay in the "active" tab and display "upcoming" instead of "yes"? (more) |

| Question | — |
Move featured links to the "inactive" section once their end date has passed When featuring links on the sidebar, moderators have the option of setting a start and end date for when that link will be featured. This works properly; once the stated date is past, that link will no longer show up as featured in the sidebar. However, it does still show up in the "active" sectio... (more) |

Due to the (actual and perceived) conflict of interest with being involved here on Codidact and SE, I've been somewhat avoiding promoting CD directly in SE spaces, due to being a strike negotiator. I don't want anybody to be able to accuse me of sabotaging SE by organizing a strike in order to help C... (more) |

I think you've addressed most of the important points here, thank you.
As to why I'm specifically still active on SE (although on strike right now) - during my time there as a moderator and user, I've made a lot of friends on the network, who I don't really have ways of connecting with otherwise. ... (more) |

It might even make sense to have this be adjustable on a community-level basis, not just network-level. For instance, the TTRPG community could have a Roll20 account field, while Software Dev has GitHub. (more) |
