| Jul 5, 2018 at 3:38 | comment | added | user392547 | I don't think that MetaSE sees a steady stream of questions like other popular sites: there're only 4-5 questions per day on the Newest questions tab (maybe some are deleted, but that's irrelevant). So even if a MathJax post doesn't get too many votes, it's not going to disappear from the recent questions list too quickly. SE employees/community members who are interested will still see it. | |
| Jul 3, 2018 at 5:20 | comment | added | Shog9 Mod | Intentionally? Rare. But... Which feature requests do you vote for: those you understand and can use, or those only relevant to others? | |
| Jul 3, 2018 at 5:13 | comment | added | user392547 | @Shog9 SO users on MetaSE will probably not care much about mathjax. But they wouldn't disrupt/silence/downvote a discussion here by the physics and math people, right? Has that happened before? | |
| Jul 3, 2018 at 5:07 | comment | added | Shog9 Mod | It's a bit tricky, @Chair... Before we split MSO off from what is now MSE, it was nominally "the meta site for Stack Overflow and the rest of the network" - the idea being, what's good for SO is good for any other site too. This isn't terribly wrong... But it also means that stuff that isn't relevant to SO - for example, MathJax - tends to get the short shrift. | |
| Jul 3, 2018 at 4:53 | comment | added | user392547 | It may not be as big a problem as you say it is if SO users become a heavy majority. One could argue that since they (I'm not active on SO) make up such a huge part of the SE network, they should have a proportionally huge say in things. I can't see SO users making changes in MetaSE which demean smaller sites. Proposals here shouldn't pertain to only one site , so your origin site (place where you have highest rep) doesn't make such a big difference, IMO. | |
| Jul 3, 2018 at 3:27 | comment | added | muru | @Makyen indeed, and that's all the more reason to just make that feature available to everybody on MSE | |
| Jul 3, 2018 at 3:20 | comment | added | Makyen | @muru Well, seeing vote counts on any SE site, regardless of your reputation, is just a userscript away: "View Vote totals" without 1000 rep | |
| Jul 3, 2018 at 2:52 | comment | added | muru | There are two privileges I'd like that IMHO shouldn't be tied to rep here: ability to see vote counts and deleted posts. On a meta site, were decisions are made, the vote split is important data. And it's not unusual to follow links around and end up at deleted posts on MSE. As a 10k user on multiple sites with plenty of experience handling post deletion, it's annoying not to be able to see those. (Note, only talking about seeing here, not about casting delete/undelete votes) | |
