Timeline for Stack Overflow has stated the community isn’t very welcoming and asks for change. How do we do that here?

| Apr 27, 2018 at 17:03 | comment | added | Tim Holt | Here's a meta post from 2014 that covers this a bit. I basically still agree with that answer. gamedev.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1601/… | |
| Apr 27, 2018 at 16:56 | comment | added | user1430 | You're right about the "don't answer off-topic questions" comment though; we should probably stop doing that / start discouraging it. It hadn't really occurred to me before, but now that I think about it it does feel very much like the old "fix your accept rate" commentary we'd get when SE showed an asker's accept rate... which they rightly got rid of. | |
| Apr 27, 2018 at 16:55 | comment | added | Tim Holt | Heh yea I just edited them into my question just as you were writing your answer :) | |
| Apr 27, 2018 at 16:54 | comment | added | user1430 | I am amused that you picked the opposite set of bullet points than me for "things we can focus on here specifically." :P | |

| Apr 27, 2018 at 16:46 | comment | added | user1430 | Without specific issues I can't think of how to respond other than "yes, this sounds good, let's do it" (and I'm about to post an answer to that effect). But I'd still be interested in hearing about the circumstances that held you to that opinion prior to reading this article; unraised issues can easily go unaddressed. If your concern is about "naming names" or similar, I can set up a moderated chat to buffer the specifics, if you'd like. | |
| Apr 27, 2018 at 16:43 | comment | added | Tim Holt | I'm looking for discussion about the article, not my personal beliefs. And yes, I do agree with it. And reading it, I do see examples of behaviors they cite which I believe exist here. Focusing on specific posts is not the point of my question, focusing on the larger ask of the article for change is. | |
| Apr 27, 2018 at 15:18 | comment | added | Pikalek | It might help for everyone to clarify who/what is meant by community, us & we. StackExchange in general? GD.SE specifically? | |
| Apr 27, 2018 at 14:02 | comment | added | user1430 | Or, if it’s more that you agree that the issues brought up in that article are prevalent here, which of them do you feel is the most problematic? Which do you feel would benefit from some kind of directed community approach versus each user individually looking at his or her behavior? | |
| Apr 27, 2018 at 13:26 | comment | added | user1430 | Do you have specific recent examples of where you think the community has been particularly unfriendly or unwelcoming? | |

| Apr 27, 2018 at 5:27 | comment | added | Tim Holt | Well that's a great start - I bring this up and I get downvoted... | |
