I think we should have a discussion about some words that, for the benefit of everyone, may need to be avoided or at the very least supplemented because they don't really help a question out.
Examples:
Rude - appears in 45 posts, of which 20 are questions. Is "rude" clear enough without any ad...
> We've extended the private betas to last about three weeks total. In actuality, if you call the initial launch "week one", the evaluations and discussion happen near the end of week three. We extended the private beta another week because the logistics of launching a private beta and getting everyone together to wrap everything up in two weeks made the deliberations all but impossible.
@Mithrandir That happened to me once. I declined because I thought I was not the right choice for the site. And the mods they chose have done an absolutely fantastic job on a site that can be difficult at times to moderate.

I can understand the rationale for doing so; to be honest, quite a few questions on this site are about interactions, if not the majority. That said, I'm sure there are cases where the tag is i...
Barring any technical delays, the site should go public tomorrow afternoon (Tue, 17-Jul). The nomination thread was posted last week, so the selection process typically begins about a week after the site launches; however, I will be out of town next week and I am slated to make the initial contac...
I'm wondering when it's expected we will go into public beta. There's been a bit of chat about it and speculation. It would be good to know.
We have the moderator nominations up Accepting Nominations — Who should moderate this site? and I assume, we will need the moderators active before the sit...
