A: "Empty" posts can be created with invisible Unicode characters This is not a bug. It's possible to post a post with any other Unicode character, why not these? We don't have automated systems (yet) to patrol content: we rely on humans to do that. This is an example of bad content that people shouldn't post and that people will patrol. Posting an empty-looking po... (more) |

Fwiw, iinm WhatsApp had this as a preference with the tire that if no one else can see yours then you can't see anyone else's. (Here that'd work only if it's visible only to logged-in users, natch.) (more) |

A: Community-promoted network posts have arrived > This is still an early iteration of this feature, so we expect there to be requests for improvements or tweaks to it — post them here! A community should have the ability to reject a specific ad. This can be very useful in case the ad offends its sensibilities. An example might be an ad on Chris... (more) |

@OlinLathrop , what I meant (and forgot) to include in this suggestion post was that only people with a certain level of edit ability should be able to mark edits as minor. I'll edit it in now. And then there should be no need for review. (And all edits should bump.) (more) |

A: Should we have a grace period of X minutes on edits or a way to mark changes as "minor"? A "minor" toggle on edits makes sense even if there's no mechanism to hide minor edits from the history, if people can filter them out visually. I think this can serve some use; I've sometimes used the "minor" indicator in Wikimedia histories. I wouldn't consider this an important improvement that sh... (more) |

A: Should we have a grace period of X minutes on edits or a way to mark changes as "minor"? Afaict, the benefit of a grace period is minimal — (a) that people can avoid the very slight embarrassment that comes with having to edit a post immediately after doing so, and (b) that if someone edited something private (like a birthdate) into the post then it can be removed if he catches...

SE in some respects is more clear-cut and user-friendly (though in others this site is). But a general post like this helps no one. Any change must be made individually and decided on individually. (Some decisions can be broad-strokes, e.g. "implement changes to help people with screenreaders", bu... (more) |

I'd +1 this if the URL lacked a hyphen. People will omit it or replace it by a `.` or a `_` ... too confusing.

A: Sign up to answer this question but no sign in Every added button increases clutter and detracts from the other buttons, so requires a cost-benefit analysis. In this case, the benefit is to those who have accounts but are not logged in, already not a very common occurrence (people tend to stay logged in to accounts on private computers). And m... (more) |

A: Hot Network Questions like feature? Considering the planned differences between sites (autonomy with respect to various policies, different categories, etc.), I think the interaction between sites (except Meta) should be kept to a minimum and in particular we should not have any sort of HNQ-like thing.

A: It is possible to close a question as duplicate to itself. I don't think this is a big problem. Presumably such errors will be rare and can be corrected easily. Adding code to prevent this human error doesn't seem like a good use of resources (coders' time or code running time). (more) |

A: Travel Codidact Site I think some scope should be set in place from the outset. My impression is that the travel SE site allows any question about a locale as long as it's couched as "I saw this while traveling, and…", or any "where is…" question as long as it's couched as "…I want to go there".

"The actual recalculation process works like this for all possible Abilities: We check whether the user already has the Ability. If they do, we won't do anything beyond this point and call it a day." Why? Surely someone can no longer meet criteria he once met. (more) |

Yes, @ArtOfCode . On pageload I see https://i.stack.imgur.com/BOuM2.png and when I click Tools I see nothing further. (When I tried to add that picture to an answer, below, to get the URL, that failed, too, which is why I used that other site instead.) (more) |
