There isn't even anywhere I can flag it. Color me upset.

I am getting spammed/phished via ResearchGate. Anyone else, too? Anything one could do about it?

@MartinSleziak actually, this room is usually eerily quiet. I'd prefer otherwise, actually.

Hi. I'm going to leave academia on August, so it's probably time to leave this community as well. Finishing up my last paper in the next 3 months.

@MartinSleziak Yes, did that. Could be that the bot that kept it alive has been deactivated. I will look into that later.

I've got a question about nextshark.com/…. Would it be on topic?

@GoodDeeds Thanks. It's been a fun run. I think I'll keep at it a while. And thanks again for your clean up of some of the posts. Good to see you back.

@Buffy I'm surprised that google scholar is considered at all for anything official. It aggregates any document it can find as citation...

Q: Physics.SE remains a site by humans, for humans

ACuriousMindWe, the moderators of physics.SE, are deeply concerned about the recently announced "network policy" regarding computer-generated content on the SE network, which effectively attempts to forbid moderators from issuing suspensions or deleting posts for the undisclosed usage of computer-generated c...

Slashdot is pointing to a Wired article on "The End of Grading", pointing out how ridiculous it can be: news.slashdot.org/story/23/02/09/1258227/the-end-of-grading

Slashdot has an interesting article that mentions "methodological fetishism" that is important (IMO) for researchers in many fields to consider: science.slashdot.org/story/23/10/23/0110257/…

A dark day yesterday for academia. A professor was murdered by one of his graduate students. And, a dark day for the US as well as it was done with a firearm. I'm old enough to have experienced a time when all of that was very rare.

Q: Spam attack on Academia Stack Exchange?

cconsta1This is not related to Academia at all, however, I've noticed that in the past week or so, numerous questions pop up that are spam. I flagged around 30 of them so far (or more) but they keep popping up in the Questions section, shadowing proper questions users have that are indeed related to Acad...

Q: It's time for me to resign

Massimo OrtolanoThe title says it all: I'm resigning. In the last few days the Stack Exchange staff introduced a new policy about AI-generated content and how we should moderate it. This is a policy hastily created by Stack Exchange and forced to us moderators in an insulting way, irrespectful of the expertise a...

I've seen this question go through: academia.stackexchange.com/questions/193369/… and really feel like it's a better fit for Law.SE. The flag system doesn't seem to accommodate that, though, so I'm not sure if there's a different way I can/should advocate for that.

I am looking for data on performance not satisfaction. It appears that the student enjoyment is often the highest on demonstrations, films and fun facts when the actual knowledge gain is the lowest.

Hi! I have edited my question just now and it has been closed immediately. I edited it to delete an embedded situation which was making the question confusing. Kindly let me know what is wrong with the question :academia.stackexchange.com/questions/192584/… and can it be improved.

Well, that was a quick but exciting ride. (A rude-meister just passed through). But I scored three (count-em three) helpful flags.
