Sorry @#52935 - as I hinted at, I was conflicted about which was the better place to post this, and since it was more "how does it work?" rather than "what can I do about it?" (for which the answer is pretty clear), I went for the EE. It's answered here and we don't have migrations even if we wanted... (more) |

Thanks for this analysis. I bought that UPS in a hurry because its predecessor had died, and I didn't yet know to be more skeptical. It has powered my computer + monitor for 10-15 minutes during actual power outages, so at least it isn't complete fraud, but yeah, I'm going to look for something bet... (more) |

We get actual power outages lasting more than a few minutes about 4-5 times per year, and light flickers probably twice that often. The UPS is a generic [Amazon Basics model](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073Q3BSPG/?th=1). (more) |

Thanks for this explanation. I think what you're saying happened to me (no light flickers or other visible signs of even a brief outage) is that I got hit with a voltage change that was outside the UPS's narrow band, so it tried to switch to battery, but the battery wasn't up to the task so the compu...

I see the frustration in your comments, and I understand -- we all want things to be better, you're doing a lot of good work, and there was prior discussion. I think we're seeing a little scope drift -- totally natural given the scale of the work! -- and maybe we need to divide and conquer. The ear... (more) |

The difference would be outlining, like the proposal tags on Proposals. We already have support for that; we'd just need to add the reviews tag to a list. (more) |

I see your edit with the list and also that there's some disagreement. Please reply to this comment when issues are resolved; I want to help with your cleanup efforts and don't want to act prematurely. Thanks. (more) |

The review tag can be given a different visual presentation if that helps, and the text at the top of the Q&A category can be edited to mention/link to reviews. Would either or both of those changes help? (more) |

Welcome! I wonder if we have people who are already active Reddit users, who know the expectations of those subreddits, would could post responsibly. We don't want to come off as spammers but I would *love* to get the word out more -- anyone in a position to help?

Our aim _is_ to run Codidact for the communities that use them, both regulars and visitors. (Every regular was once a visitor; we need to draw people in.) I'm having trouble understanding how threaded comments make people feel unwelcome. And if people have answers to questions, we want to give the... (more) |

New users now do not get Participate Everywhere. That's a good question about seeing who has an ability; we don't have any way in the UI to do that, but we should. Meanwhile, please ask in the private mod chat so someone with the right access can look it up for you. Thanks. (more) |

| Comment | Post #285892 |
The ability to vote other than on answers to your own questions comes with the Participate Everywhere ability. In order to earn that ability, you have to have several well-received (score > 0.5) posts. (The difficulty is configurable; see below.) We don't use rep for abilities but, rather, your ac... (more) |

Just for transparency/visibility, could you put that in a meta post? In particular, I don't want anyone to be surprised by the rep drops. (Heh, mine's about to go to 1, which is correct for my level of EE knowledge.) We'll give people a little time to object before doing it. Thanks @#36396. (more) |

We're looking into that. It's not all coming from one account like the previous cases, so I need an assist from someone with DB access. (more) |

Right now meta votes affect rep, but we can change that if the community wants. (We didn't have per-category rep settings when we set up this community; now we do.) Upvote and downvote rep can be set per category per post type; let us know what you want. Rep changes would be retroactive. (more) |

Clearly we're going to need to bump up the priority of vote-fraud mitigation. (We do have some tools, but it seems we need more.) (more) |

Thanks @#53110. I'm not a domain expert, nor even qualified to participate in the main areas of this community; I monitor all the community metas to see if there are places where I can help with information, but I'm not trying to argue for a particular outcome here. I agree that the name is less im... (more) |

Is the distinction between "papers" (implying research, along the lines of what one might submit to a journal or conference) and general-purpose resources/articles/teaching? Another community uses "resources" as the category name for the latter, in case that helps. I don't know how clear "insights"... (more) |

Hmm, that looks suspicious. I'll ask someone with access to take a look to see if there's a pattern. (more) |

One of the top searches is "capacitance multiplier". I don't have the details of what searches led to what pages (including what else led to that page), but it's reporting more new hits on that page than new uses of that search, so that's clearly not the only one. (more) |

I don't know what makes it special, but https://electrical.codidact.com/posts/279580 is consistently one of the top hits in our Google analytics. I don't know what's special about that post (is it an unusual but important topic in EE?), but I hope y'all do. (more) |

Ouch, I'm sorry. We've had some issues with comments that range from brusque to rude and we're trying to improve that. Can you flag the comments you saw so that somebody can take a look? Thanks. (more) |

Whoops, sorry -- didn't remember that embedded systems were off-topic on Software Dev. I guess that's pretty different from other software. (Not my field, sorry.) (more) |

FYI, the Software Development community has a category for [code reviews](https://software.codidact.com/categories/44). I don't know if the things you're asking about are EE-specialized enough that folks on a general software-dev community wouldn't be able to help, but perhaps try asking a couple re... (more) |

@OlinLathrop could you make the specific rep proposals in an answer so the community can more easily weigh in? I'm happy to set them to whatever y'all want, but don't want to assume that people will dig down into this comment thread. Current values are +10 and -2. (more) |

@OlinLathrop we can already set rep differently per post type; questions are 5 but answers and articles are 10. I'd like to be able to set rep per post type *per category*, but that's harder. What we have now is the ability to create new post types with different properties, like the new Wiki type ... (more) |

@NickAlexeev no formal draft yet, but we have some [sketches](https://www.figma.com/file/JruvBgIXHyiEseK1KMN7pl/hold-vote?node-id=0%3A1) illustrating a workflow and feedback. Exact close reasons aren't right (also, communities can customize those), but that's the idea up for discussion. Key points:... (more) |

We actually have sketched out some workflows for this, though they're preliminary. The key ideas are: (a) collect information from the voters *and transmit it to the author immediately*, (b) give the author *guidance* to address issues, and (c) adjust some language. One main category of reasons is ... (more) |

This should be fixed now. Some rep was over-reported, and then there was an issue in some troll-mitigation changes that made things go haywire. We believe the rep numbers now showing are the true numbers. (more) |

Reproduced. The issue seems to be specifically when *editing* an answer, and it's not about images specifically: the live preview for the answer doesn't show up. It does when *posting* an answer, so this is an edit-specific problem. (more) |

I don't think sites want lots of categories either. Categories aren't tags. In designing them we were envisioning a site having maybe as many as 4 or 5 (Q&A, meta, blog, contests, maybe something else -- not necessarily all of those on any particular site). (more) |
