Chris, i have no response regarding status of my id.
Please help

Currently the reputation graph doesn't extend lines to the end of the graph. For example, I've only publish one article, quite a while ago, so I've got a single dot on the reputation graph, and nothing more. To me it would make more sense to have a line at the level of that dot extended to the edge of the graph, as that reputation has remained constant over the rest of the time.
Just a thought.

Yeah that doesn't look. Thanks for the report. We'll look into it.

my editor reputation, which has been at 56[^] recently, has disappeared[^] although the FAQ[^] seems to tell me it can only increase. Not that it matters much, but it might indicate something is wrong.

We have been adding back some missed edit events from historical data and so edit history has been turned off, a new slide rule obtained, and results updated.
All good now (for you - still have to run the update on everyone else)

My rep points on the graph and Quick Answers did not match (at first I thought it was supposed to work that way and I had to check the FAQ). This explains it.

Or is there a place where I can create new tags?

Do you think the homework cheaters would actually bother to use it?  Or should be be able to flag it after the fact?
You measure democracy by the freedom it gives its dissidents, not the freedom it gives its assimilated conformists.

Users won't very probably use it, but people that can "Improve" could do it (saving time for other users).

That would be neat if other users could tag questions as "homework question" and so on, then we could use the custom view to filter out questions with those tags. Perhaps only allow silver members and above to use certain tags.

Improve question is already only allowed for certain members (up to a grade of reputation). And that allow the improver to change subject, content, tag... So just adding the homework tag would be enough, the rest is already working.

Also, the ability to filter away questions based on tag is not yet a feature... as far as I know, you can only show questions based on their tags (rather than hide them based on their tags). For example, it would be neat to say:
Show me all questions with any of these tags:
C#
WPF
SQL
But exclude any questions that also contain any of these tags:
Homework Question
Work Request

Oh, sorry I didn't understand your point. You are right, that is not done yet.
I thought you was meaning the ability to change the question tag from one to another.
Regards.

That's a whole other ball of wax. Although, other sites, like AllExperts.com, do allow people to categorize and reject questions according to various options (not really a question, homework question, etc.). That might be a useful feature. It would at least inform the user of why nobody is answering their question.
|

In the forums I hang out in regularly, the homework seekers are told why their question isn't going to be answered. 
You measure democracy by the freedom it gives its dissidents, not the freedom it gives its assimilated conformists.

It would probably be useful to tell them once why their question isn't going to be answered, tagging it as "homework question", then allowing the regulars here to filter out those questions so they don't all have to see them.

If only they'd get the hint after being slammed with it once....

Well, if they keep asking questions like that and they keep going unanswered, I imagine they'll eventually give up.

We'll allow new tags to be created soon.

Ditto.
Luckily I read your post title before doing my own (and being flamed...  ).
I would ask for a 'gimme-codez' tag too.
If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler.

Noticing the huge amount of space on the Lounge frequently taken up by deleted posts from certain members (who seem to specialize in getting their posts deleted), and the responses to the deleted posts ...
And then, following in the wake of the deleted posts, "meta-deleted-post" posts like this one : [^] :
What about the idea that all such threads, including the responses, are moved to a special place outside the Lounge : then, on the Lounge, put a simple message saying the thread authored by "xxxx" on "#date" has been removed to "#name of forum" with a simple link to the thread's new location : and, for this simple message only, disable the ability to reply to it on the Lounge.
The idea would be to thus create a place where deleted threads can live on in all their glory, and people can comment to their heart's content forever and ever, while those of us who have no interest in "flotsam and jetsam" can happily enjoy the Lounge.
This would have the effect of making the Lounge less cluttered, as it is today, with whole pages, on which the entire contents are about threads which have been deleted.
Perhaps this would also be an appropriate place to put threads which clearly state they have no purpose other than to "make noise" : [^] :
"I was just trying to see how many people would click on this message. Too bad the site doesn't count views on a given message. ... snip ...I'm at work, bored (waiting on the boss to provide some info), so I thought I'd jump on today's "Why XXXXX Sucks Today" bandwagon..."

Dante Aligheri, Purgatorio, Canto XVI, lines 79-83 :
"A maggior forza e a miglior natura
liberi soggiacete; e quella cria
la mente in voi, che 'l ciel no ha in sua cura.
Però, se 'l mondo presente disvia,
in voi è la cagione, in voi si cheggia.
To a greater force, and to a better nature,
you, free, are subject, and that creates
the mind in you, which the heavens have not in their charge.
Therefore if the present world go astray,
the cause is in you, in you it is to be sought."
"Many : not conversant with mathematical studies, imagine that because it [the Analytical Engine] is to give results in numerical notation, its processes must consequently be arithmetical, numerical, rather than algebraical and analytical. This is an error. The engine can arrange and combine numerical quantities as if they were letters or any other general symbols; and it fact it might bring out its results in algebraical notation, were provisions made accordingly." Ada, Countess Lovelace, 1844

But how would this work? Do I shift a thread if only the top message is deleted? If a certain percentage of messages are deleted? What if the first message is nuked but the remaining messages are gold?
Typically if a member is being abusive I'll either move the threads to the backroom (if things are getting out of hand) or just have a chat to the member. If it's someone truly being malicious then our Terms Of Use cover that scenario.
