I am a college student looking for a mentor and I am not sure how I should go about doing it. I want to post this question but I do not know where to post it or even if this is the right forum for this question.

And that's a good idea!  We have a lot of high quality content here, certainly enough for a small book.   I'm not saying that it necessarily has to be integrated into the main site, but this is just a suggestion if anyone wants to implement it.   Stack Exchange probably could make money selling the physical books though. CC-BY-SA allows selling, as long as you allow others to make copies of your book, and credit the author.  What Wikipedia does is you can custom order any set of articles as a book (it even has a nice set of authors at the end, to satisfy the BY part of CC-BY-SA).  This could even tie into the docs feature.

Some time ago, we announced that . This has gone well and we're extremely thankful to everyone for their support and feedback. Because it has been successful so far, we're going to be extending the program to the majority of our graduated sites. Well, we've pretty much already done that, but there are quite a few sites that have ads enabled, yet still display nothing. The thing is, we don't really have an abundance of clients offering products that a  would find relevant, but Amazon has stand mixers, a selection of super fine chinois, deliciously sharp cutlery and enough cast iron to fill the Gulf Of Mexico with . Beginning as early as this week (week of 5 February 2018), our ad team is going to be hand selecting affiliate ads to be displayed on select sites. The use of inventory will of course depend on the availability of relevant ads to display which means:  Some sites might see very few, if any ads. Some topics simply don't come remotely close to orbiting anything worth advertising. Furthermore, while graduated, some sites simply don't have enough activity for ads to make sense.  Since these are hand-selected, it could take a while for ads to appear initially.  These would of course yield to inventory from clients if clients had products that were relevant to any given topic.   Nothing changes when it comes to the . If you're used to occasionally seeing a community promotion ad, you'll just notice that you'll also occasionally see an ad for something that is likely to be of interest to someone interested in the topic that your site covers. In fact, to be clear, this is simply a continuation of the announcement we made in November of 2016. We just wanted folks to know that we're going to be continuing the program where there's good potential to show relevant advertisements, even if we don't have clients lined up with a demand for it. Where can I give feedback about a certain ad on [site]? Open a meta post on your per-site meta and let us know. Please remember, the bulk of advertisements are an effort to get something small back from folks that hit the sites through search engines and are extremely unlikely to ever become contributors. Their soufflé stopped falling, and we'll probably never see them again. Maybe we can get a few bucks once they realized that copper ions help egg whites stiffen properly and buy a bowl or a proper bloom whisk. However, you're the experts on these topics and we're very likely going to listen to you. What sites, specifically? Are any sites exempt? If you're a former Stack Exchange 1.0 site and / or subsequently joined the network under a special charter, nothing changes - don't panic :) For the rest, we're just extending what we're currently doing with ads on graduated sites to also include those where there's an opportunity to make sensible use of affiliate ads. If a site has less than 15k (average) daily visits, or fewer than roughly 50k combined total posts - it might not yet be time to invest in selecting ads to be shown there. But, part of this exercise is also seeing what works best. I don't really have feedback, just some suggestions Ads aren't just an opportunity to sell stuff, they're an opportunity to really show people that we understand a given topic. That, of course, makes suggestions from people that do that stuff every day quite valuable. Post on your per-site meta and our community / ad critters will take a look. Questions? Comments? Kvetches? Let us know in an answer or comment below. If anything about the plan changes, we'll update this post to let folks know.

When reviewing the Low Quality Posts, it'd be nice to see other answers.   For example: if there's an answer with just a link with no description, I'll edit it if it's the only answer, but if there's another answer with the same info, I'd just recommend for deletion (or hit Not Sure if it's borderline).

Some discussions don't belong even on meta, e.g. when it's pure noise.  But sometimes we want to make some noise amongst ourselves, don't we? At least I know I do. I've only been on Stack Overflow for a few months, but I already felt like I've started to develop some connections to other users, and just want to... chat?  So where can we do this? Is there an IRC/Google wave channel/whatever where SO users hang out where we can just ask, "How's everybody doing today?"

I'm currently helping out on . One of the most valuable things on new beta sites, especially private/early public betas, is Meta participation - see :  Treat Meta Questions Like Gold It’s not unusual for your meta site to receive significantly less traffic than the main site. The problems begin when you meta starts to get ignored by the community and ignored by the moderators. It is particularly disturbing when users reach out in meta and starts talking about improving the site or asking for help… only to be ignored; No follow-up, only deafening silence  Because of this, Diamond mods get a notification in their inbox for each new question on their Meta, helping ensure that each meta post is addressed. However, wouldn't it be great if Diamond mods weren't the only ones that could do this? The post does say that the community needs to be seeing these questions too. As an involved user, I would really like to be notified of these new questions - it would increase the good I could do the site. How about this?:  Of course, it would be opt-in, not opt-out, and per-site. A feature like this would greatly improve the good that enthusiastic site-builders can do for the site, and would, most likely, increase the overall chances of a site's success.

I think that now that we have multiple communities, there are questions that will be of interest to multiple communities.    For example consider the question  asked on  .  I think that this question would be better answered on the   (that is where the experts are).  But since questions is of interest to both communities I think that it is useful to cross post it, where answers are also shared between the different sites.  I think that the best way to handle cases like this is by allowing cross posting.  I think users with 500+ reputation should be allowed to cross post questions.  This would allow users from both sites to answer them.  I think that this could also be a good way of marketing different sites to different users.    Similar questions have been asked about the SO, SU and SF triad but I think that this has become a larger issue (and will become a bigger issue as more area51 sites evolve).

SO has helped me so much in times of need. It is crazy - sometimes I am having a huge issue with a program I'm working on at school or work, and I post it on SO and the answers come quickly and easily. Lots of time it's a typo, while others it's a deep misunderstanding of mine. I wonder how I can fit in here at Stack Overflow. How I can contribute. In fact, I feel such a “beginner”, I don't even know where to look half the time. But I see there is now a place for /Programmers/ which leads me to wonder if there can be a site for beginners - and strictly beginners. Beginners post in Stack Overflow, and only beginners can post answers. Meaning, you must ask a question in the beginners forum in order to answer one. Or something, I'm not sure, I just want a place to connect with others who are just starting out how to learn about programming, and want to get the chance to answer other beginner questions so I can learn more (you learn 40% of what you do and 90% of what you teach). What do you all think about this?

I need a haircut; how do I get access to Shampoodles in this game? Her shop is greyed out and I don't like my haircut. Is it still part of Nooks' or what?

I think it would be very useful.  I have a question that I have an open bounty on. Putting up said bounty brought my reputation below the point where I am allowed to comment on other peoples' posts. It's so frustrating not to be able to comment and give feedback on the answers given!  Especially since it would be helpful, for them, me, and the readers, to know particularly what is good and isn't good about their answer, and therefore give some better guidelines to future answerers on how they can win the bounty.

Super User got hit by another batch of spammers creating profiles. They've got accounts on other sites from what I've heard from other mods and from the comments here.  Last time it was streaming. Now it's  (as of december, looks like they're spamming scammy finance too). I have 160+ pages of users from that search, and a quick look suggests most of them are spammers. Comments from this post indicates it's network wide - and a quick check indicates Stack Overflow has a handful of these too, though not as many as we have.  While the powers at be have been taking action, both directly, and indirectly, it feels like between shared IPs and search, mods might be able to take a good chunk of these out if we can somehow have a way to delete accounts somewhat in bulk. You guys are awesome. But these... People keep doing it still, and it would be nice to see their works undone.  Unlike our streaming spammers, they've switched to phone numbers, presumably because Adam so kindly blocked links.    There's a few good suggestions at mitigating these - but ideally - I've heard from fellow mods that we want them gone.  They add to the broken window effect - which we can't do anything about due to sheer volume, and they probably poison our search engine results.  We can probably reduce the risk of oops by filtering by IPs (clearing everything on an IP lets me whack, 10, or so users at once, rather than clicking through 3-4 pages a user) and optionally selectively not deleting accounts that seem legit, we can probably clear out a bunch of these without really needing CM intervention. It does make it a little too easy, but these incidents, well kinda need a flamethrower's gentle warmth.  I'm cool with a no. I'm probably going through the usual channels in future. Would be nice to have something that lets mods deal with this effectively though.

Consider this:    We need a space there! Yikes. At first I thought the user's full handle was developingo31. Maybe if it was a different color too that might be neat? Like a slightly lighter (or darker) gray than the "asked xxx ago"?

I don't particularly think I can add more to what Monica's said about what went wrong, and . Things could have gone better. I don't really see people getting any happier about it.   I'd like to ask for a few things going forward.   Firstly - that a community team member should be dealing with social media criticisms, and we really should also be giving our communities the benefit of the doubt. In situations like this - something like "Hi! We've noticed you have an issue with the content you see on SO's sidebar. We'll see how we can help" would have been a better starting point than knocking a site off HNQ. Under most circumstances, I'd actually trust Adam - as a former community team member - to deal with it, but in this situation, we basically had folks from two different teams that don't actually deal with users directly in such circumstances try to help, in good faith and, well it didn't work that well. We need to have someone specifically dealing with these things.     We also need a clear idea of how the folks who deal with these things need to engage with the affected communities if action is taken.   For most part, the community team's had to do damage control when they're the folks who should have been dealing with it. I do realise in the past few years they've basically been pulled in 20 different directions and have been constantly dealing with backlog - but one of the consequences is it feels like the management of SO and SE has been drifting further and further away from the community.   We've constantly been told that we need to make SE better for new users and we need to attract them and grow. I've occasionally accused SE of being short sighted. I think this is one of those situations where I'm starting to feel there's tunnel vision - since the end result of it is folks who would traditionally supported SE feel that traditional methods seem neglected.  You have one of the best community teams I've had the pleasure of interacting with. They're engaged, passionate and some of the best folks I've interacted with on the internet. You'd be down a lot of core users if not for them. They're also smaller than they have ever been, with a smaller team than some medium sized site. (This is a difficult thing for me to talk about - since I've expressed an interest in the role before). We constantly hear promises that they'll improve processes - and that they'll tackle the backlog. And what we really really really need is people on the ground listening. "Hey guys, so someone has issues with the site. Could you guys tell us what you think? Could we do something about it?" goes so much further than anyone realises.  We've been really really patient, but we shouldn't need to tweet at folks to get your attention. We've been really patient. We really would love SE to grow, but not at the expense of its heart.
