@Pandya should go to stackexchange.com/about because that's more interesting for ordinary users and visitors. The other one is kind of advertisement, most people don't really care. But that's how SE makes money...
I understand that the "About Us" can't be different for each Stack Exchange site, but would it make sense to link to something about Stack Exchange, rather than Stack Overflow?
Linking to Stack Overflow seems like your saying the Stack Overflow community is the same as the EL&U community. Wher...
I'm talking about the about us link that bottom line has on every site i.e about us, tour, help etc.:
Currently it links to http://stackoverflow.com/company/about but it should go to http://stackexchange.com/about. Though I think help>>About Us (Drop-down menu) should also link to http://stack...
@Telkitty Don't know. From a cursory reading I have the impression they were quite thorough, consulting Meta Stack Overflow, and using the publicly available data analyzer.

First, they evaluated the community perception that the emerging problems are heavily related to the growing amount of low-quality content created by undesired groups of users (help vampires, noobs, and reputation collectors).
Their suggestions: (1) "First, you can adjust a reputation system to re flect the value of contributions more accurately and thus motivate users to provide good answers to good questions."; (2) "adaptive collaboration support" (seemingly better filtering of questions and answers to the right audience, e.g., experts who are solely interested in more difficult questions). This they presume could prevent 'expert overloading', and make answerers more satisfied.
Oh well ... always interesting to see publications on SE, just thought I'd share.
@StevenJeuris this is interesting... Wonder what would happen if the rep given for each vote on an answer was weighted on the number of votes on the question.
you start from 5rep for each vote on the answer if the question has 0 votes and go up to 15rep for questions with 150+votes.
@Bart Hmm, apparently not. I recommend you to just email the authors, and mention as an SE user you are interested in their paper. They are allowed to freely distribute it (usually at least).
But most of their reported findings seem based on Meta either way, their data analysis could be interesting (didn't read too much into it). Their recommendations are based on ongoing research by them (they seemingly are experimenting with their own custom Q&A stuff).
@Derpy Meta must be littered with suggestions like that. I believe I once suggested something similar (or contributed in a discussion, don't remember, my meta days are over :))

LOL, Stackoverflow against Experts-Exchange, Stackexchange against Yahoo! Answers, Stackoverflow career against Linkedin, Documentation against Wikipedia. Maybe sell programmers just to go against Amazon then sell discounted programmers so to provoke Groupon.
Yes
We've added a new table called PostsWithDeleted that includes metadata from all posts, including the deleted ones. If the post is deleted, we've nulled out all fields except:
ID
PostTypeId
ParentId
CreationDate
DeletionDate
Score
That's helpful for doing meaningful research that requires...
The query I looked at does seem to use that table. (Not sure if they used it properly, though.)
Honestly, if someone just went through the Advanced Review Stats page and banned everyone who takes less than 6 seconds on average to review... that would be wonderful.
I have a better idea. If a reviewer in a queue has 5 or more reviews and the average time of the (rolling) last 5 reviews is less than 7s, give them something like this.
@tchrist FP is the highest in raw numbers. As a % of participants, Late Answer is first, followed by FP.
Some quick stats...

essentially, the better you are, the longer you can go without getting an audit. The worse you are, the better chance you have of being audited every time.
