Why can I not down-vote?

It's not a bug. You need to have 125 reputation to down-vote a question or answer. Also, down-voting an answer will take one reputation from the down-voter.

Recent badge notification spam

My fault. Isn't it always? We had a problem with badges failing to award last night, so I added some extra logging to capture more info when it stumbled. In the process I accidentally broke something ...

Is there an issue with the required rep to vote to close a post?

Using the information I could gather, I found the post in the first screenshot was this one, which is your own. You can cast close votes on your own posts starting at 250 reputation (and you can ...

Asking time is later than closing time

This is due to incorrect rounding. It has been partially fixed, but only for years: Post was closed before it even existed is status-completed. I think your particular case might be the same as this ...

I just received an Announcer badge for a question I have no recollection of ever seeing before

Are you sure you've never seen that question before? If it wasn't you, who wrote this question? ;) In the following screenshot, the first link is the question you've "never seen before": It ...

Turns out the 9th vote is the charm. Either that or I've got super duper mod powers

"Ask Question" button in different position for meta than main site

With Stack Exchange's move to a standardized site design, this issue has been solved (albeit inadvertently). The 'Ask Question' button has been moved: and the mothership now aligns properly: Don't ...

Peoples reputation vanishing

This is not a bug. Retrosaur normally has tens of thousands of reputation points and earned those badges through normal use of the site. Right now this user is on a temporary suspension, so the rep ...

Excavator requires you edit someone else's post, not your own: Self-edits do not count for the Excavator or Archaeologist badges. It must be an edit on another owner's (or anonymous/deleted user's) ...

This account is scheduled to be deleted 11 mins ago

There is probably a small timing difference when an account is scheduled for deletion, vs when the script that processes deleted accounts actually runs. It seems to have run now, in any case. https:/...

Some user profile pics aren't appearing

Gonna guess those are Gravatar images? Sounds like something's down somewhere between you and Gravatar. We've had a couple reports to that effect earlier this week, but unfortunately there's not much ...

First Post Review Queue Bug? More than 140 reviews in a week

Indeed, there're only seven days in a typical week, you aren't mistaken. The skipped review tasks don't count either (so weird it would be otherwise). The review audits do count towards daily ...

Is the bottom banner for Arqade not working? Or was it removed?

Thanks again for reporting. It definitely was a bug caused by the new footer UI across the whole network. The fix is now waiting in repo for build. You should be able to see the footer artwork in ...

Badge count numbers are too close to the badge icons

Only one Hot Meta Post is showing

Yeah it seems that support questions are excluded from 'Hot Meta Posts'. I would assume this is the case for bug and feature-request too. Both badp and Invader Skoodge's posts used support, while ...

How do OP cards exist in meta but not in main site?

Update: This appears to have been fixed: This is a known bug. Network wide, Stack Exchange implemented new colors, and it seems this is one of the many bugs (not all sites exhibit this bug though). ...

Code blocks aren't working correctly when placed after a list

With the migration to CommonMark as of June 2020, you can now use three backticks to denote a code block. This more explicit format leaves no room for the renderer to have to guess whether your ...

Tags on meta look bad when hovered

I think we can call this status-completed (although status-norepro would also work), as tags have been normalized across the network, such that we no longer have tags that look like the bullets in the ...

The Arqade review buttons color contrast is awful

Username with superscript letter

Unicode names are allowed, and as long as they are not problematic, or do not meet the criteria for usernames generally (rude/abusive) they're fine.

Why hasn't this tag with 0 questions been deleted?

This isn't an answer (I don't think), but it may give some clues as to why it's there. So I fiddled around with the SE Data Explorer, and found using this query that this is a tag synonym for the tag ...
