2023/02/13 | 592 | 2,418 | <issue_start>username_0: We frequently get questions like [this](https://academia.stackexchange.com/questions/193421/timeline-to-ask-postdoc-interview-outcome) [one](https://academia.stackexchange.com/questions/193745/assistant-professor-tenure-track-netherlands), along the lines of "I submitted an application / had an... |
2023/03/10 | 906 | 3,646 | <issue_start>username_0: To give some context, I have a quite simple question (i.e. the number of international doctoral students in the US), but I have two different sources that give apparently conflicting figures. Would it be appropriate to ask a question about it on this website?
I asked a [similar question](https... |
2023/03/12 | 1,041 | 4,445 | <issue_start>username_0: There seems to have been an unusual spate of questions on Academia with a similar "unsung genius" theme. I'm not going to highlight any particular post but the bulk of them relate to fields of physics (especially quantum mechanics and relativity), psychology, and mathematics, but occasionally i... |
2023/03/22 | 394 | 1,619 | <issue_start>username_0: I just stumbled upon the tag [paperwork](https://academia.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/paperwork "show questions tagged 'paperwork'") when reviewing a question and I am unsure if that tag really makes sense to keep. In many instances the tag is (IMHO) misused for questions related to (sci... |

2023/05/31 | 476 | 1,974 | <issue_start>username_0: The title says it all: I'm resigning. In the last few days the Stack Exchange staff introduced [a new policy](https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/389582) about AI-generated content and how we should moderate it.
This is a policy hastily created by Stack Exchange and forced to us moderators in an ... |
2023/06/02 | 1,585 | 6,284 | <issue_start>username_0: Effective immediately, the moderators of Academia.SE (wrzlprmft, cag51, and <NAME>) are on strike.

2023/06/11 | 1,232 | 4,829 | <issue_start>username_0: Academia.SE is quite particular in the sense that
* all its moderators [seem to be on strike](https://academia.meta.stackexchange.com/q/5286/112007)
* it is not one of the highest-volume sites, so SE might not see it as a priority to intervene here

2023/07/06 | 702 | 2,599 | <issue_start>username_0: This is not related to Academia at all, however, I've noticed that in the past week or so, numerous questions pop up that are spam. I flagged around 30 of them so far (or more) but they keep popping up in the Questions section, shadowing proper questions users have that are indeed related to Ac... |
2023/07/07 | 688 | 2,787 | <issue_start>username_0: I've been seeing way to many people editing spam, upvoting spam, downvoting spam, closing spam, and using the wrong flags for spam. So, this is a reminder. If you are not on strike, flag spam, that's it. Even if you are on strike, don't do anything. But certainly don't upvote spam.<issue_commen... |
2023/07/07 | 256 | 1,049 | <issue_start>username_0: Earlier today there was a massive spam attack. One very disturbing thing that I noticed was people upvoting spam.

2023/07/25 | 1,235 | 4,723 | <issue_start>username_0: At the moment, there are 81 posts with the phrase "chatGPT". Although it is generally not a favourite topic around here (but still will probably only become more relevant), I would say it is enough traffic about the topic that it would merit the creation of a `chatgpt` tag (or a more general ta... |

2023/08/31 | 642 | 2,810 | <issue_start>username_0: Maybe it's just me, but I have the feeling that there is an increase in very long, very, very detailed posts, often not even formatted but wall-of-text style. I often stop reading midway through because it is very difficult to find the actual issue OP is inquiring about within the convoluted he... |

2012/02/14 | 1,181 | 4,456 | <issue_start>username_0: Whether we like it or not, modern academia is increasingly being measured, in some vain attempt to get objective measures. Although it is unwise to fight 'being measured', it is at least possible to steer the measures away from meaningless ones, backed by peer-reviewed research that establishes... |
