| Sep 25, 2024 at 9:59 | comment | added | duck Staff | Regarding 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. | |
| Sep 25, 2024 at 9:59 | comment | added | duck Staff | We 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. | |
| Sep 25, 2024 at 9:59 | comment | added | duck Staff | The 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. | |
| Sep 25, 2024 at 9:59 | comment | added | duck Staff | I 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. | |
