This has to be the most reasonable thing I've read all day, and they should be applied to the FAQ. Any organization is free to have whatever CoC they decide, but their actions/posts should embody it. If they state in the CoC they want to be inclusive in terms of religion, then they should follow trough with that in all their posts (even if there are 0 religious people using the website). Anything less renders the whole CoC meaningless. — KGS 1 min ago

@Rob Nope, apparently I'm still missing it. Firstly, I didn't post a link to the FAQ in my comment. Secondly, the answer that your first link points to doesn't address the question of top tags. It's about duplicate questions. — sempaiscuba 5 secs ago

I'd include that detail in the question whilst you're at it. I was tempted by a similar scenario, but with reopen votes, but it seemed unethical at the time.

@mdewey - It seems unlikely that the OP would be able to bring it up there. When I asked on their Meta, my question was promptly closed. Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil. I have no way of knowing whether the problems alluded to by OP exist only in their imagination. But the prompt closure of my question on their Meta doesn't augur well for OP to be able to discuss their perceptions at that site's Meta. // I hope that at some point in the next few days, OP will flesh this out with some examples. — aparente001 2 mins ago

@BenLee I think lawsuits are incredibly difficult to win, take years to come to a conclusion, and unlikely to resolve the real issue. Lawsuits are about $$, not justice. I'm also not convinced saying someone "violated our CoC" is really something that's defamatory.

I can tell you, though, that your tickets are awaiting replies. It's just a matter of getting to them, which sending more tickets doesn't help.

SE Inc. will easily ignore moderator exodus and also the quality drop. There's no indication that SO could reach shortage of moderator candidates anytime soon. Money isn't made on the Q+A part of the enterprise; SO is one of the very few iconic sites that are associated with money making parts of the enterprise; and external competition to SO isn't currently so strong that a potential drop in SO health could quickly translate to a drop in its relevance/popularity/market share. — Jirka Hanika 1 min ago

The actual statement [...] isn't really referenced all that often that's because no one outside SE knows what that statement was, or even if there was one at all. That's sort of the point. What we can tell from leaks (since removed) is that Monica seems to be perfectly ok with requested pronouns, even neopronouns like "xe", except for one case she has a strong grammatical hiccup about: singular "they". Apparently she was asking whether it would be acceptable for her to avoid pronouns altogether when the requested pronoun is "they".

One side note: A part of constructive criticism is focusing on whatever the person did instead of focusing on the person themselves (So no 'you cannot prove or disprove' but 'this post doesn't prove or disprove'), another is to give recommendations on how to improve (which can be inferred from the example comment, but would be better if spelled out directly).

Yeah, we know about this. Can be bydesign or declined. The issue (discussed elsewhere) is that for really old duplicates we used to inline the duplicate post links. Subsequently we record them in their own db table. But for posts preceding this the inline links exist. And for [reasons] we are unable to extract the duplicate links and delete the inlining from 100% of them. So these will look like your screenshots - the post notice just says that there is a duplicate, but the links are part of the question text. — Yaakov Ellis ♦ 1 min ago

If I asked here a question in Portuguese would be closed and if I asked a question in Portuguese in a community whose native language is not Portuguese it will be closed.

The "off-site resource" close reason is the only current, stock, off-topic reason for which the new post notices don't say the actual off-topic reason.

@Luuklag - no I haven't?. If implemented, I simply wouldn't gain rep from: 1. accepting an answer, 2. upvotes on the question (I'm undecided what should happen with the downvotes too but I guess they shoudn't apply either.) — djsmiley2k - CoW 44 secs ago

At some point...I feel like calling a community toxic is a self-fulfilling prophecy. It implies the negative value of participation in it, and makes it incredibly easy to dismiss their concerns at the same time. It also makes the community hostile to the speaker, which in turn reinforces their opinion that they were correct. The word just doesn't belong in any sort of corporate culture or employee opinion when referring to the community. — fbueckert 1 min ago

Hi Karla Flores Zarur, welcome to Meta! I'm not sure which search brought you here but the problem you describe will not be answered on this specific site. To get an answer from users that have the expertise about the topic of your question you'll have to find and then re-post on the proper site. Check How do I ask a good question and What is on topic on the target site to make sure your post is in good shape. Your question is definitely off-topic on Meta and is better deleted here. — Rubiksmoose 56 secs ago

As far as many of us are concerned, it needs to comply with CC BY-SA 3.0 because SE has not sufficiently proven that they have the legal ability to systematically convert everything to 4.0 without consent. But also, in the terms of images, many of them are not original content, and are already grabbed from sources that the author did not create, so whether or not CC is even relevant in those examples is debatable. — Web Head 1 min ago

Looks like a dupe of Make the moderator flag comment max length longer.

@bobobobo I think this question wants to elicit discussion and possible arguments for or against further contributions to this community, not pertubation and attack. If anything, it concentrates too much on the future, which usually results in very opiniated answers. The answers are actually useful (not answering the question really though). — Trilarion 2 mins ago

@FrédéricHamidi Nope, but I wasn't looking. My participation has been pretty limited lately.

@JL2210 I wonder how many levels in you can go... — David Wheatley 33 secs ago

I prefer "-1, [explanation]" suitable for character count purposes. It is shorthand for "I am the one/I am one of those who downvoted, and here's why." It's a juxtaposition that serves a rhetorical purpose. Certainly, some users can mean it as rude as it is a phrase that has been used in rude contexts on the internet for a while. However, this site does not have that problem in my view. Downvotes are often reversed, the proceeding explanation is often one on a factual basis, and when there is no comment, users will frequently say "Downvoters, can you explain why?" so it's also preemptive. — The Anathema 40 secs ago

might be worth flagging one of them with a custom moderator attention flag and letting the mods know that they may need some help with writing good answers

on SO, in particular, I would expect this flag to be declined, with a message to the effect of, "that's the community's job". — De Novo supports GoFundMonica 1 min ago

Further the question is a wiki with a request for users to "Post your favorite or most inspirational snippet" yet it is not marked wiki at this time — bobobobo 1 min ago

@Trilarion The original wording of this post is Should we learn to accept the demise of "community"?. Such negative wording makes the question seem to have its seed in an attack (ie the title reads "your community is doomed".) That was closed, and the current wording of the title Are we witnessing the demise of "community"? still has the same flavour. — bobobobo 2 mins ago

@bobobobo "Are we witnessing the demise of "community"?" The answer is of course, that nobody knows and only time will tell. For that reason one could close the question right away. But seeing everything that challenges the status quo as attack goes to far in my book. As long as the question is itself civil and has something in it that can be reasonably discussed I'm not against giving it a chance. — Trilarion 31 secs ago

A useful alternative implementation is: Instead of "increasing the length", make links count as 10 characters (up to a limit of 1023? characters of real length); that would allow a few questions with long titles or a couple of crazy long Google URLs - but if your message is solely textual then rambling on would be prevented. — Rob 2 mins ago

It sounds like the public nature of feedback is going away for private-solicitation only feedback. That’s an interesting solution, but for all intents and purposes, yes, meta is going away.
