    and you could also be describing the moderation culture over at meta.discourse, but I'm sure you are not in the slightest. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    I waive all responsibility for what is read in between my lines.

    Thanks for that. Sounds like they ran the stanford experiment either ignorantly or intentionally using rewards

    It occurs to me that Stack Overflow may not have been the first. Wikipedia itself has a similar usage of trust levels, with increasing access to mod tools as you contribute more.

    That said, I have my own reservations about Wikipedia ๐Ÿ˜„

    Why do users sign up?

    Why do users sign up?

    In my view, and certainly in my case with my forum, users sign up because of the unique content you have on offer. If that is available elsewhere via a simpler mechanism, then they will likely go for that route rather than your site. In the case of my forum, it is offering something unique in the sense that it has facilities such as mentoring, infrastructure help, guidance, etc - admittedly, all of this is available via Stack Overflow, but without the sarcasm, god complexes, and the like.

    Here's an example of that in process

    @Topper Your commitment to open source and offering a reasonable compensation package is commendable. I hope you find a skilled developer who aligns with your vision.

    Ah yes, the shortcuts plugin... fun plugin, it introduced so many shortcuts that any key combination could do anything :drunk:

    It makes sense for ctrl-b and ctrl-i, etc... what other markdown-specific shortcuts would you like to see? Perhaps I could add them to the markdown plugin. For example, ctrl-enter already submits a post in the composer.

    I've tested that code in this forum and it works.

    Maybe you have other javascript that is causing the error, start the forum in dev mode so javascript isn't minified, then you can take a look at where it is crashing.

    You need a plugin to add that data in on the topic lists. You would need to use the hook filter:topics.get and check if the user has upvoted the main post of the topic.

    Secondly, as @PitaJ will attest to, @baris and I are a bunch of old dogs. We've been at this nearly ten years, and while that's not a lot of time in the real world, in tech it means we're dinosaurs ๐Ÿ˜†

    He had to drag us kicking and screaming to implement ESLint, and we're all the better for it.

    Maybe @baris isn't an old dog, he dragged my ass kicking and screaming to Bootstrap5/webpack, so ๐Ÿคท miracles can happen.

    Depending on the type of tag you'd like to add, you would want to add that logic to your own plugin. You'll want to listen to the following hooks:

    filter:meta.getMetaTags filter:meta.getLinkTags
