A: How can I do a search across all of Codidact? Unfortunately, we currently don't have a network-wide search engine. I think this is the first time it's been brought up. If there's interest in such a feature, someone can write a feature request and it'll go through our process for handling those. In the meantime, though, your best bet is pro... (more) |

@Istiak - depends on what that community decides. In general, if it's directly relevant to the post I don't think it should be too much of a problem, especially after we finish reworking comments to work differently. (more) |

A: Chat feature for Moderators We eventually do plan on having integrated chat, including different access levels for different user groups (such as moderators). However, we do not have the resources (such as available developer time) currently to build one, so we're using Discord. Whether or not a question should be closed is ... (more) |

A: Reputation is disappeared from user's card recently This was intentional; we're testing out deemphasizing reputation here on Meta. This was a decision by the Codidact Team. Of course, if it turns out that it's detrimental somehow to not show the reputation number, or if the community decides that they really want it back, it'll be reinstated. But w... (more) |

A: Is it OK to edit a post in order to bump it? No, making useless edits just to bump the post isn't something that we want to encourage on Codidact communities. Edits should be to improve the post and that's it. Looking at the reasoning for bumping, though, there are two main factors: To earn votes, and to get a response. While we do curren... (more) |

A: Let's revamp our status tags Something that occurred to me after posting the original suggestion would be that an [under-review] tag would be helpful as well. This tag would indicate that the suggestion / bug / whatever is under review by the appropriate people - be that the dev team, the community team, local mods - but hasn't ... (more) |

Let's revamp our status tags One of our holdovers from Somewhere Else is the way we mark bugs and feature requests with status tags - including [status-completed], [status-declined], [status-bydesign], and we've got our own [status-planned]. The tags are marked in red like other moderator-only tags. But... maybe we can do thi... (more) |

Hi! Could you please split this up into separate posts for each point?

A: Meaningful hovertext for voting area As sau226 mentioned, this is the score of the post. Since the way we calculate post score can be a little confusing, there's a help center article that explains exactly how it works. I agree that it'd make sense to add something like "Score: 0.5" or similar, to clarify what that number is. (more) |

@ShashankVM - You're welcome to post a feature request to change where the user information shows up! That deserves its own discussion, though, not the comments section on an unrelated post. As for gray areas - yes, that's something I'm willing to accept. Communities and their moderators can figure o... (more) |

A: What are the pros and cons of gamifying Codidact.org? "gamification" is a bit of a different concept from "fun". Gamification refers to incentivizing participation; we do this currently via reputation (and Abilities to a certain extent). You get points (and unlock Abilities) the more you participate. We don't currently have any sort of badge system, ... (more) |
