2I love what you wrote about ‘just in time’ user guidance. The team has been having many conversations about what users need to know upfront versus what they need to know when it’s relevant to them. Commenting, for example, falls into the latter category since it won’t be relevant to newer users until they have earned that privilege.duck– duck Staff2024-09-25 09:59:23 +00:00Commented Sep 25, 2024 at 9:59

1The visibility of moderation tools should be more prominent and easier for mods to handle. Whether that’s on the homepage or raised elsewhere is a separate topic we could have many conversations about, but it should be addressed in the future.duck– duck Staff2024-09-25 09:59:30 +00:00Commented Sep 25, 2024 at 9:59

1We don’t intend to count vote attempts as users being activated. There’s a larger theme here around rep and privileges, and it’d be interesting to explore other ways for users to be able to earn privileges outside of voting. But, as you’ve mentioned, the challenge will come with navigating the complexity of the existing system and ensuring that we’re encouraging more community contribution while mitigating fraudulent activity.duck– duck Staff2024-09-25 09:59:40 +00:00Commented Sep 25, 2024 at 9:59

1Regarding the voting data, it’d be interesting to look into why anonymous users and registered users vote differently (regarding the ratio of upvotes to downvotes). One potential hypothesis is that registered users learn the cost of downvoting, whereas anonymous users haven’t yet learned that. Something that could be worth looking into in the future.duck– duck Staff2024-09-25 09:59:47 +00:00Commented Sep 25, 2024 at 9:59

I don't even bother writing the "welcome" messages to unregistered folks anymore.Austin 'AJ' Overton– Austin 'AJ' Overton2024-10-22 02:14:31 +00:00Commented Oct 22, 2024 at 2:14

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. stack-overflow), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
