Dang's done a super great job, especially recently with some huge threads related to the election.

I would like to raise one point that's tangentially related: why is it not easier to find a page explaining the community guidelines ? AFAIK you have to look them up yourself.

The navbar has links to new, threads, past, comments, ask, show, jobs and submit, but none of them even give a clear redirect link to get to the guidelines ... wouldn't it make sense to add them to nav, or configure the site such that they're displayed the first time you visit ? Always seemed a bit funny to me from a design perspective.

They're in the footer on every page. Not enough?

I've been reading this site for almost 10 years and never noticed them until you just pointed it out. I don't think many people look at the footer. :)

(They're also not in the footer of the comment page and a link in the otherwise empty header could be useful for new users.)

I’d argue that the comment page is probably the most important page to have that link on.
