Categories can restrict posting somewhat (as on the Meta blog, which is limited to staff), but it's not tied into the abilities system, unfortunately. (Abilities came later.) There's a concept of "established user" in the category settings but I'd have to look up what that means. *If* the communit... (more) |

Anybody could submit posts and there was an editorial board. (Any editor could approve and schedule a post.) There was also a chat room (on SE) where people could discuss ideas or work in progress. I don't remember anything ever being rejected; spammers and trolls didn't find their way there. (more) |

Right, it was separate because SE wouldn't support an on-site blog. (They used to, but when WB asked for one they said "not doing that any more, try Medium" so we did.) Here on Codidact, if the community wanted, there could be a "blog" category like on Meta, and the community could shape it however... (more) |

The Worldbuilding community on SE had a blog for several years. It fizzled after things started going downhill at SE, but this is what made me think that folks here might want one. (I'm not pushing the idea; it's up to the community.) The [original blog](https://medium.com/universe-factory) had a ... (more) |

In a combined community, I would fold Rigorous Science into the science category and add guidance to the effect that if you want particularly rigorous answers, say so in the question (same as you would do for any other special requirements or constraints). This makes the questions more casually visi... (more) |

One possibility would be to have a worldbuilding community with broad Q&A and a "science-only" category reflecting Scientific Speculation's scope. (more) |

| Question | — |
Should posting on Meta affect reputation? When we launched this community, we did not yet have the ability to set different reputation grants for different categories. We've had this for a while but we failed to follow up before now, sorry. Do you want us to change posts on Meta to not award rep for upvotes or subtract it for downvotes? ... (more) |

A: Is Scientific Speculation the Right Place for a Discussion Series About Space Sports? I'm speaking as a regular user here despite that "staff" label next to my name. Scope is decided by communities, not imposed from above. I think science-based questions about sports, like golf in low-gravity or sailing in high atmospheric pressure or fishing in waters of different composition, et... (more) |

A: Incorrect number of answers showing in questions list This appears to be a data error related to imported questions. The question was imported with four answers on 2020-05-04. On 2021-03-02, a script deleted zero-score answers from accounts that were unclaimed -- that is, answers where the author never came and created an account here, and where nob... (more) |

Hello. You've posted a few questions in the Rigorous Science category, and I wonder if you meant to post them in Q&A instead? Rigorous Science is intended for questions that have already had some research behind them -- think science journals rather than more casual settings. See these [category g... (more) |

Oh, editing help! Yes, I agree. Right now the contents of the right column are fixed (you see the same stuff when reading or editing), but I'd like to instead place some editing guidance there when in the editor. (more) |

If you figure out what happened, please do let me know -- sounds like it was a frustrating friction point, and if it's something under our control I'd like to try to fix it. (more) |

Could you help me understand the login problem? Are you saying that you had an account on SciSpec, you were browsing Writing where you do not have an account, and you couldn't log in from there but had to come here? If so, sounds like an oversight on our part and I'll file a bug so we can try to ge... (more) |

Thank you for sharing your impressions as a new user! A couple comments/answers to points you raised:
The LaTeX help is in the [formatting](https://scientific-speculation.codidact.com/help/formatting) help. You didn't find it, though, so: any thoughts on where else we should link to that? If the r... (more) |

| Question | — |
How can we grow this community? Codidact's communities have a lot of great content that is helping people on the Internet. Our communities are small, though, and sustainable communities depend on having lots of active, engaged participants. The folks already here are doing good work; our challenge is to find more people like you ... (more) |

Hello and welcome to Codidact! We did a bulk import of many questions from WB.SE when we set up this community on Codidact. I don't see any associated with your profile, so that suggests you haven't claimed them. If you go to your profile "edit" page you should see a place at the bottom where you ... (more) |

Unfortunately we don't have the UI for suggesting edits to tag wikis yet. :-( We've been suggesting that communities use meta to work them out, and then a mod (or someone with the Edit Tags ability) can edit them in. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. (more) |

If there are tags that should just go away (like science-based; I forgot we didn't kill that yet), we can probably get a dev to do it directly at the database instead of editing it out one question at a time. Let us know if that's what you want. (more) |

Also, in case it's helpful: you know that [notice you see on Meta if you're not logged in](https://scientific-speculation.codidact.com/uploads/XUrqn7ZfGqqtmrzXJiScRmAv)? If y'all want something like that here, we can do that -- just tell us what it should say. (more) |

This is excellent. Perhaps much of it could be added to the help, either the FAQ or "how to ask" or a new topic about scope that you can then link from those places? (more) |

I agree that speculation about history doesn't fit in with scientific speculation. (Maybe there are speculative history-of-science questions that would fit; haven't thought about it.) It looked like there might have been other objections (couldn't quite tell), but all of it made me realize I had a ... (more) |

| Question | — |
Which sciences are welcome? A now-deleted question involved archaeology, linguistics, and history. There were some downvotes and critical comments, and the author deleted the question. I don't know whether the downvotes were because of the scope or for other reasons, but it sent me to the FAQ to see what we say about our scop... (more) |

Hi Green! Welcome to Scientific Speculation! You have a [second account](https://scientific-speculation.codidact.com/users/6963), which was automatically created when some of your posts were imported.

It's been a few days and "rigorous science" seems to have the most support. I think it's an improvement on what we've got now. Shall we change it? Also, please consider adding a help topic about what's expected for that category, and we can link to it from the category description. (more) |
