| Dec 2, 2019 at 23:41 | comment | added | Marc.2377 | @MonicaCellio, seeing this now, I'm inclined to think we should seriously consider querying the actual community regarding an initial reputation score import (and in fact, the issue of reputation as a whole) once our platform launches... | |
| Nov 8, 2019 at 16:54 | comment | added | James Jenkins | @MonicaCellio I think bounties would be site specific. Once the new site is up, you would need to bring over new posts at SE, presumably SE is going to do the same when it realizes it is losing market share to the new site. Ultimately both sites would host all the Q & A until one fails. | |
| Nov 8, 2019 at 16:38 | comment | added | Monica Cellio | A new site would need to calculate rep anyway (for ongoing contributions), so it's sufficient to import the posts and then calculate rep. Edit rep might be harder but is probably an acceptable loss if so. A decision would need to be made about bounties. | |

| Oct 23, 2019 at 8:58 | comment | added | Stack Exchange Broke The Law | @EricDuminil Are reputation scores considered a creative work? | |
| Oct 22, 2019 at 10:30 | comment | added | user56reinstatemonica8 | Then don't copy the exact number. The new sites probably won't have the exact same rep scoring anyway. It could be, for example, you get X * 500 rep on the new site for each X * 1000 rep you had on SE. No laws against reading a publicly published number then making a decision based on it. | |
| Oct 22, 2019 at 10:27 | comment | added | Eric Duminil | @user568458: Sure, it's technically possible. I'm not sure it would be legal though, if reps are copyrighted info from SE. | |
| Oct 22, 2019 at 10:25 | comment | added | user56reinstatemonica8 | @EricDuminil you could migrate rep like for example, on your new site profile you hit a "migrate a profile" button and paste the url of your SE profile, it gives you a one-use code, you edit that code into your SE profile description to prove it's really you, it reads the page, validates the code, and migrates the rep. No action on SE side needed. | |
| Oct 22, 2019 at 10:22 | comment | added | user56reinstatemonica8 | +1 There's a big opportunity here to also do some big refused feature requests, like sorting answers by votes weighted by recency to avoid the "Fastest Gun In the West" problem, fixing HNQs, basic threading of comments so e.g. "we should/shouldn't close this" back-and-forth is in an accordion, adding a very basic, moderator-visible direct messaging system, allowing high-rep users to flag questions as "easy" or "hard" which is then fed into the front page algorithm so users who usually answer easy or hard questions see more of what they want, etc etc... | |
| Oct 21, 2019 at 16:09 | comment | added | President James K. Polk | @EricDuminil: Good point. SE sites perform well, have good features, and almost never go down. It would be hard to replicate this. | |
| Oct 21, 2019 at 13:54 | comment | added | Eric Duminil | Also, we shouldn't underestimate the amount of work SE is doing right. If the current situation can be saved, we should really try to save the relationship first. But yes, your suggestion could work as a last resort. | |
| Oct 21, 2019 at 13:07 | comment | added | gnat | @EricDuminil per my reading of their meta, they started separate and, possibly, still remain somewhat separate: "should MathOverflow wish to migrate its data outside of the Stack Exchange network, Stack Exchange shall, within thirty (30) days of receipt of a written request from MathOverflow, provide MathOverflow with a complete and current database that contains all the data necessary to recreate MathOverflow on MathOverflow's own servers and software..." | |
| Oct 21, 2019 at 12:57 | comment | added | Eric Duminil | @gnat Was Math Overflow a completely separate entity at first? | |
| Oct 21, 2019 at 12:56 | comment | added | gnat | @EricDuminil technically this seems possible - if I understand correctly such rep-preserving migration already succeeded in an opposite direction when SE network on-boarded Math Overflow and Russian Stack Overflow | |
| Oct 21, 2019 at 12:49 | comment | added | Eric Duminil | Related question: would it be possible to migrate the reputations or is the information a property of StackOverflow? One appeal of the network is that it's a meritocracy. Experienced users might not want to start from scratch. | |
