Answer A: What help pages need to be written?
As I write this answer to say that there's nothing I can think of, I see there's an option for me to pick the license I want to use for this post. Aside from the fact that the category and site defaults are CC BY-SA 4.0, I'm not really sure what these licenses are effectively for or what the actua...

Comment Post #276209 N is just some constant, yep. My *opinion* on the timescale thing is that it doesn't matter if someone rarely edits, as long as they're consistently good at it, while someone who had a bad string of edits to start with, but improves, will see a gradual increase in score. Maybe your idea of 'last X nu...

Comment Post #276209 @Zerotime The formatting, font size etc. would need to be improved, but [here's a link to another one](https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/gxZrzk7PFTimHAgpwBgqNFYQ)

Question Scoring System for Trust Level Requirements
Currently, we're planning to implement a system for user privileges based on Trust Levels. These are of the form of 'if you satisfy [these requirements], you get [these perks]', where [[these requirements]](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RzHFAHEm2XEnUpkNVocAOHw5MNi3ABD8FxIIuTpLnM/edit#gid...

Comment Post #275797 I do like the sound of 'future science', as long as it doesn't imply that 'this science will definitely be true in the future'. Still better than speculative science though... 'Futuristic science'?

Comment Post #275779 I can't confirm this is what's actually happened (which is why I'm not answering and am instead commenting) but an upvote on a question-type post is usually 5, upvote on answer-type 10, so is it possible that you've had e.g. 1 answer upvote, 1 question upvote and 2 downvotes (at 2 each?)?

Comment Post #75020 I'm no lawyer, but my understanding is the same as yours - we're legally allowed to do such a thing under the CC license. Having said that, if someone actually wants their posts removed, I'd perhaps suggest to them that actually asking us (um, yes, at least 'not rudely') is the way to go about the p...

Comment Post #74943 I could imagine that really nice speculative questions about weapons exist, but this is me (... yes, I've looked at the physical mechanics of swords before) and there are a few on WB that stray at least *close* to 'speculative science' (underwater weaponry?), so of all the tags in this list, that'd b...

Comment Post #74934 We have a lot of ideas, just because I didn't list them all doesn't mean they don't exist and to be honest, I felt frustrated and mocked enough at seeing phrases like "Oh dear, here we go again" that I had no wish to continue the discussion

Comment Post #74934 @MaskedMan I believe you're referring to me... And that's not what I was saying, which was that we had ideas for dealing with things like downvote piling, of which *getting rid* of rep *entirely* is *one*. I used the phrase "getting rid of rep", so I'd appreciate people not misrepresenting what I sai...

Comment Post #74907 What about something such as 'referenced [speculative science] Q&A'? Point being that a hard science answer should have actual scientific references, but this might make it confusing for ex. non-scientists who think Wiki counts as a reference? I don't like 'rigorous Q&A' as different people have diff...

Comment Post #74870 All the changes we're planning on making to how we do stuff differently to SO aren't finished, we've barely *started*. On downvotes, we have ideas (both on the superficial 'this is what you see' and the fundamental 'how does getting rid of rep change how downvoting is viewed?' levels) on how to try a...

Comment Post #39445 @MonicaCellio [how do I reply/ping here?] Seems reasonable to me - it's not like I was panicking or anything about meta meta not being used, it was just a random thought that might/might not have been any good really :)

Comment Post #39445 What about using the codidact meta meta site for questions about qpixel, while codidact meta would be more about the future site that will be Codidact? Is that too much/too confusing/putting boundaries where there doesn't need to be any?
