Change upvote/downvote tooltip on meta sites

Having just downvoted a feature request here on meta, I saw the tooltip and thought exactly the same. I'd go as far as to suggest that the content of the tooltip on meta sites should be contextual, ba …

Need to know about question and answer vote up by user?

No, no, no and no. Allowing people to see who has upvoted/downvoted their questions/answers adds no value to the site. When I'm reading a post regarding a feature request on meta.stackoverflow and con …

Area 51 link in a Stack Exchange site should link to the proposal for that site

Could the "Area 51" link in the footer of the site link to the proposal for said site, rather than to the Area 51 home page? Perhaps just when the site is in public/private beta? I've had a quick loo …

Can we get a *real* rep log/audit?

The way reputation is calculated has recently changed: 2011-04-04: Question up-vote rules now sync to meta and can only earn +5 instead of +10. If I've understood the change, then the reputation …

If I flag an answer as "not an answer" and Moderator X (whomever that may be) deems that flag invalid, the flag shows in my flagging summary as "Invalid". If I later look at my flagging summary and …

Return valid inform moderator flags to the users "remaining for the day"

Now that https://stackoverflow.com/tools/flagged makes it very easy to see what others deem worthy of moderator attention, I find it very easy to go through my available daily dose of inform moderator …

Referral badges for new members

I'm aware that this has been asked before, but as a considerable period of time has passed, it might be worth reviewing, especially as there are now a plethora of Area 51 originated sites which would …

Can I see if someone is currently in progress of answering a question?

There's no current way, as far as I'm aware - if you wanted one, you'd probably want to consider re-tagging this question with feature-request. That said - By providing an answer when someone else is …

What else can we automatically remove from questions?

I think that removing salutations is probably enough. If the site tries to get too clever, the rate of false positives is likely to go up. On an entirely lighter (and only semi-serious) note, I'd lik …

Migrate to *any* site?

Wouldn't this just overcomplicate the UI for edge-cases where a closure and comment to the author of the question would do? After all, what's the odds that you'd want to migrate a question from stack …

Have Tag Top Users page show winner of Taxonomist badge
