This is just my own personal opinion and I realize that I am apparently in a minority but I hate video tutorials. What's wrong with text and images? You can actually search through text and find the p …

Let's not. Please. Personally, I find the colored smileys that so many services insert awful: They break the flow of text. They tend to be larger than normal characters, making the line they are in …

No. One of the most important things about the SE model is that we don't answer for the OP. The OP is almost irrelevant. You answer for every user who might have the same question and comes across the …

Personally, I would hate to see this feature implemented. I can see no good coming of it except that I would now be expected to respond promptly to comments or chat messages because some indicator dec …

Sure we should. As soon as you come up with a surefire way of getting rid of spam, I'm sure SE will implement it (and you'll be set for life). In the meantime, they're doing what they can. There are a …

There is. It's called a bounty and is explained in the Help Center: If you’ve asked a good question, edited it with status and progress updates, and still are not receiving answers, you can draw atte …

I think that makes a lot of sense and would greatly reduce the off topic questions we're getting (I hope so anyway). I'd make a few small changes to the text though: Ask Ubuntu is a site for users …

EDIT 25-01-2020 Since posting this answer, I have spent a few years being a moderator on both Ask Ubuntu and Unix & Linux. I now have a much better idea of what users here suggest for migration and a …

I must say that, to me, the most logical solution seems to be ignore that crap already! One of the good things about the SE system is that old, ignored questions are forgotten as long as they're left …

What Zanna said. I would also like to take this opportunity to ask everyone to only use the rude and offensive flag when the entire post is rude or offensive or when the offensive nature is such that …

I don't really understand what you're asking for. The user ID is rarely useful but for those times when it is needed, all you need to do is go to the user in question's user page and copy the id from …

There's an app for that! https://stackapps.com/q/3341/17253 And an extension, too: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/kbd-button-for-stack-exch/ignlodfdkifdjomipiamkaaoiokkjlok And he …

People with >2k reputation are assumed to be familiar enough with the site and its topic to be able to edit posts directly. That's why there's no peer review. If you, as an experienced user, are not s …
