Posting a message in a general discussion forum earns a Debator point, so maybe it should depend on which forum. Just trying to make things difficult.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Is there anything anybody can do about transparent .png here at CP?
How it appears to others, no doubt:
Sure, I know where the control is ... but what if I forget?

So you'd like me to design the UI so that when someone changes colours, the colours and shading of every element work with the colours you've chosen to use?
Yeah, nah.

The proper solution will be to implement the prefers-color-scheme CSS media scheme and ensure that we add a background to any transparent images to ensure they show properly.

There are article section for Arduino, RasPi and other IoT...
why don't open a forum for that?
According to the lounge the last days, it looks like there would be regulars and competent people interested on it.

You mean a forum in General Programming section?
|
|
|
|

Yeah...
Or maybe a new section similar to the articles... an IoT Section and then subforums for Arduino, RasPi... although I think it is easier to start small and see what happens.

agreed. I am actually surprised there is no IoT forum.

Seems that is driven through the tag of AI in the articles. If someone misses tagging AI and just does machinelearning, those posts don't feature in the section.
Believe it should be extended to cover both the tags and thus feature all related to that section. What say?

|
|
Completely agree. Let me make that change.

I have no idea if reactions are going to give / take rep points (but I know some people will scream if they don't and you remove the "upvote" button) and I can see the "drive by downvoters" hitting the "thumbs down" and "incorrect" buttons, just like they did with the older downvote button.
So ... how about a "voter bank". Each person gets 100 points. If you upvote someone, it costs you a point, and gives them voter points. If you downvote someone, it costs you 5 points, and maybe loses them a point. If you just do drive bys, you will run out pretty quickly ... An incentive to "play nice" perhaps, or to consider if you are being vindictive or realistic?
Just a thought.

If it's not replenished somewhat frequently it will create a black-market in reaction points. Murphy's laws demand that as a result.
Hence my recommendation that we have/maintain a pointless comment system. Until we can determine a cash value for reputation points (you wish !), this serves a similar but more descriptive purpose.
Whether or not they're interchangeable to the degree that one could replace the other - I'm not so sure. Keeping it as a pointless (pun intended!) system is an approach I lean towards, at present.

There are now enough sites with rep points that you'd think some best practices would have evolved and been written up.

This certainly puts a barrier in place to those who treat the system sensible, but for those who want to make a point they just create sock puppets. It limits, but doesn't remove the problem

Idea - down-voting also removes the same points from your own total. If you get below a certain threshold of rep points, a negative action (down-voting) doesn't have any affect on what you're voting for, and the action it's essentially invisible to everybody, and ultimately pointless.
And before you pepper me with "what-ifs", I'm just the idea guy. I leave it up to the CP gods to finger out the particulars of the implementation.

Unfortunately this assumes that downvoting is always bad.

Since you can see who reacted, the origin of those drivebys will be a bit more obvious now.

OK - but you need to address the error: Fourgo.
