Can you suggest an edit to improve the phrasing? I think it is an important point of clarification to have consensus on before opening such a site. (more) |

A: Is gaining rep based on SE content ok? Do you have specific examples of this occurring? If you don't wish to call folks out here feel free to join our chat server and message one of the moderators or admins privately. We will not tolerate instances of abuse. Otherwise... the vast majority (maybe all?) of imported material came in with... (more) |

A: Please ensure cross-site uniformity for the basics of tagging One of the benefits of Codidact is that each community can use tags in the way that best supports their community. For example, Judaism supports hierarchical tagging for references, different tagsets are available for different categories, etc. Meta's tags are mainly used as a way for the site bu... (more) |

A: Languages 'supersite' Scope Question Is language learning and acquisition within scope? Presumably many community members will be learning a language; are questions about resources, learning routines, etc. on-topic? In a Discord discussion the question of translation and vocabulary came up - what would be in / out of s... (more) |

"You don't want a close-class of user emerging where all they do is close questions without actually participating in the site in a more meaningful way."
Sure, it would be nice if they did more, but shouldn't people be able to choose the level of contribution they're comfortable at? If they want... (more) |

I agree that the current formula is somewhat complex and fragmenting it across a bunch of different metrics makes it even less intuitive. I have three semesters of stats and have to think through the math carefully - how is a casual user expected to grasp what is going on without frustration? (more) |

A: Bug Reports category We do technically have a dedicated bug reports channel on Github. Rather than making a separate category on Meta, it might make more sense to keep all bug reports relating to the software on Github. Eventually others might self-host Codidact instances, and having a central repository of known iss... (more) |

To add to this excellent answer - hosting is currently under the AWS free tier, which means there are very minimal fees for things like domain name registration, etc. We've discussed creating a legal entity to begin setting up things like a donation page, but there is a certain amount of bureaucratic...

A: Cooking Codidact site Scope Clarification (this is a question, not an answer) How broad or focused should this site be? Is it restricted solely to the preparation of food, or are related topics like presentation, nutrition, food history, wine pairings, food sourcing and selection etc. also welcome? In other wor...

+1, and I guess we can always add categories later and migrate posts.
Per Art it seems like changing the name of a site is not particularly onerous - would it make sense to start with something like "Tabletop RPG" and change it if we come up with something better down the road?

Okay, so maybe we start with Q&A and only add other categories if we think we need them. I'm definitely okay with that as long as we have good tags to distinguish. Good point that "The Tavern" sounds like it's about homebrewing - I'm certainly not attached to it. Any other ideas? It's hard to come u... (more) |

A: Tabletop Role Playing Games My main concern is the potential overlap with worldbuilding. However, I'd like to add some possible answers to the proposal requirements. Scope I think it makes sense to limit the site to tabletop RPG's. This is a specific but diverse category. I do not think limiting to just D&D is a good ide... (more) |

I think a place to show off creations would be important as well. I'm not sure if this would be best included in Cook's Notes, or if a separate "Brags" category would be more appropriate. (more) |

A: How should Codidact "advertise" and gain community members? A related question is whether advertising Codidact as a whole even makes sense, or if we should focus on advertising certain sites to their relevant communities. The latter is likely more effective - we're not wiki-how with a Q&A site for everything. For example, with the TRPG community I know ha... (more) |

Perhaps I should have said gamebuilding. I had in mind things like "How do I design a believable villain?" or, "How should I adjust for a group of fighters in a high magic setting?" or "What are some good ways to introduce atmospheric horror? #coc"
These are much more broad than rules about trpg... (more) |

Your resident wod player is skeptical. Apart from the fact that a lot of questions apply to all systems, a lot of people *play* more than one system. Declaring other games off topic would drive those folks elsewhere. (more) |

Tumblr has a very large community. I personally play with couple dozen people on discord I can invite... Not sure how many would actually be interested.
One of the main places where questions come up is worldbuilding - would that be in scope for the community or something separate? (more) |

I was thinking something like Allrecipes, where the reviews often contain incredibly useful information about variations or substitutions (if you don't have ricotta, you can substitute crumbled feta but omit the salt).

The downvotes were across three different posts - three to four downvotes per post seems hard to call piling. In this case it seems that the consistent downvotes did get the OP to reconsider his approach and realize why his site suggestions were receiving a negative approach.
Additionally, please... (more) |

A: Triggers for cognitive biases for non native English speakers in this site as web-accessibility issues Hey! Welcome to Codidact - we're glad you're here! Sorry you've had some confusion about the site layout. Qpixel (the current hosting platform) is an interim step to the final form, so a lot of things are definitely under construction.
