This is approximately what we did. We wrote some JavaScript to do Google Docs-style commenting (select some text, click the "comment" icon that pops up, type). Places with comments are highlighted and you can click or hover to see the comment. A page in the build shows all comments with links. Co... (more) |

@user8078 to add to what Art said, posts that were created here don't have it, and posts that were imported from SE and then claimed by users here don't have it. The latter is because those users have given us a direct license for their content (by claiming it), so the chain of authority now goes ba... (more) |

For anybody interested, I just made [a proposal for handling meta in Codidact](https://forum.codidact.org/t/proposal-meta-is-just-another-post-type/451), partly inspired by how meta works here (plus the issues we all experienced with meta on SE). I hope Writing will move onto the Codidact platform w... (more) |

@ArtOfCode much better! Just one thing: please spell out "SFW". I know what it means and you know what it means, but let's not assume every visitor will. (more) |

Auditability is the antedote to relying on moderator discretion. So long as (a) other moderators can review and (b) the recipient of a sanction has an escalation path, I think we'll be ok. Granted we don't really have the latter right now (other than a public complaint), but ultimately I hope our s... (more) |

Welcome @Caleb. If you of a more technical bent, we do have questions on technical writing, API documentation, (code) examples, and more. Also scientific and academic writing. (more) |

@Lauren that's very closely related and maybe they should be dupes, but that one asks only about formatting while this one asks a slightly broader question, how to indicate it (which isn't just formatting, as I suggested in my answer). I wonder if we should close the other one as a dupe of this one?... (more) |

That works. I want to see one bullet point, not one page -- it's disproportionate otherwise. There are all sorts of behaviors that are problematic; expanding at length on one of them is problematic, and expanding on *all* of them at length is differently-problematic. Let's keep it short and sweet,... (more) |

A: A Code of Conduct, dare I say it I was hoping that our code of conduct could be something closer to the "be nice" model, something like this: - Be respectful and polite. - Presume everyone else is doing so, too. - Be open to constructive feedback. - Well-meaning people on a worldwide, multi-cultural platform can accidentally...

I don't know that this rates a full FR so I'll ask here and you can tell me if you want it elsewhere: could we have date/timestamps on comments? it helps with the "oh, that was before that clarifying edit; no wonder I'm confused" cases. (more) |

Question list shows activity that I can't find This might be related to this issue, which is sort of the reverse of the one I'm reporting now. According to the front page, ArtOfCode did something on this question an hour ago (as I write this). But I can't find it. Here's the history for the question: ![screenshot][1] It's my question, ...

| Answer | — |
A: How do we distinguish someone talking to another person via telepathy rather than via vocal means? The first step is to use different styling for the telepathic parts, as suggested in the answer by Evil Sparrow. I recommend against using italics because italics are often used for inner dialogue (thoughts). But it's not just styling; go deeper. Telepathy is a different kind of communication, s... (more) |

| Question | — |
What are our plans for image uploading? I needed to include screenshots in this question but didn't see a way to add them directly. I uploaded those to imgur so I could post, but that's not the ideal solution. (You'll see why if you look at where on imgur I uploaded them.) Where is image-hosting in the roadmap? If it'll be a while then... (more) |

I answered a question 2 hours ago, but the front page says the last activity was 8 hours ago. According to the question list, this question was last active 8 hours ago as I write this: ![screenshot][1] However, I answered it 2 hours ago as shown in the history on my answer: ![screenshot][2] Is this list heavily cached (I assume there's some caching), or is something else going on?...

A: How do we follow up a description within a descriptive text with another description? I endorse Evil Sparrow's answer. If, however you must lead with the old man for some reason, you can return from the room back to him with a paragraph break. Paragraph breaks are (small) discontinuities and you should use them when changing subjects, just as you do when changing speakers in dialogu... (more) |

| Question | — |
Could the question list show what the most recent activity was (and by whom), rather than the author of the question? I've realized in using this site how dependent I am on the information on the SE question list about who and what bumped a post. "Answered by" + name is a valuable "hey, go read this!" clue, as does "modified by" + name I don't recognize as recently active on that question. Further, a lot of questi... (more) |

A: Alternatives to second-person POV narration in RPG settings In your first example, all three of your sentences focus on the effect. Instead, mix in some descriptions of the cause. Instead of: > You have a feeling of immense dread as you take in the macabre sight > You are reminded of your own mortality as you witness the gruesome murder of Sir Importa... (more) |

Yes, if the script is unfamiliar, then the reader will interpret all cases of it as "blob of that other alphabet", and unless phrases are very different in length, will often not notice if this blob is the same as a previous one. (more) |

@Art, it's behaving correctly for me in Chrome on my Mac. I don't know what the difference is. (I did disable userscripts in Firefox to check for that; made no difference.) (more) |

@Art that's what should happen, but it's not for me currently. (Firefox, Windows -- I'll try a different browser/machine later. My (now) three most recent notifications are not dismissing. (more) |
