| Aug 6, 2021 at 16:02 | comment | added | animuson StaffMod | @amWhy I think you're drawing invalid conclusions that you want to be true. I pointed out that something in the answer wasn't a valid reason to keep the feature, and other identified more valid reasons for why they were using it that we hadn't considered and are worth more investigating, and afaik the community team is thinking about what could be done for moderators without needing an old unmaintained calendar widget in the profile. | |
| Aug 6, 2021 at 15:32 | comment | added | amWhy | @animuson You seem clearly to be saying very unpopular things. That might be what the SO corporation doesn't care about, but if there is any semblance of actually being responsive to users and site mods, this initiative is way off the mark, if it even matters to you what long-term users and site mods think, and their feedback. Without dedicated volunteers, the SO CO. would cease to exist. | |
| Aug 6, 2021 at 10:33 | comment | added | Erik A | Honestly, having the information in public view so it's clear to everyone these stats were public was OK, but hiding it behind an API and having most users not know that others can view this is very dubious from a privacy perspective. | |
| Aug 6, 2021 at 8:30 | comment | added | terdon | @animuson the calendar is one of the most useful tools we have when investigating fraud. Please don't do this. We have repeatedly asked for better tools for this and instead you seem to be taking away one of the few useful ones we have. | |
| Aug 6, 2021 at 7:09 | comment | added | Hi-Angel | ⁺¹, I have used "views" metric a lot, because I refer to my profile from CV, and if I see views metric increased, it may have been someone checking on my profile. | |
| Aug 5, 2021 at 23:38 | comment | added | anonymous2 | @animuson I figured it was possible somehow but honestly, for myself personally, I don't have so much free time to burn that I'll go fishing in the mod tools to find the info lol. It's just mildly annoying to see stuff become less accessible with unclear benefits. For me it's more of a frustrated shrug than a gasp of horror; I'll have a good cry and come back not much the worse ¯_(ツ)_/¯ | |
| Aug 5, 2021 at 23:07 | comment | added | Martijn Pieters | @animuson that’s really not nearly as useful as a calendar view. Data visualisation matters. | |
| Aug 5, 2021 at 22:55 | comment | added | animuson StaffMod | @anonymous2 That's... honestly a bit of a strange use case to me. But if you really need the information, user access history is still available in the user history from the mod menu, by manually filtering to the "User accessed site" history event. It just won't be displayed in calendar format. | |
| Aug 5, 2021 at 22:47 | comment | added | anonymous2 | @animuson personally I have used the feature quite a bit as a moderator just to know when a user is likely to be available and when they were last seen... Really disappointed to see it removed | |

| Aug 5, 2021 at 22:31 | comment | added | animuson StaffMod | To be honest, we get "my consecutive days streak reset" support tickets all the time and I never open the calendar to see this information. It's really not relevant compared to just giving them information and what counts as a day and some common reasons why it resets. I don't see how providing that information makes anything clearer. | |
