That's a one off case for that particular article. I reported in the Bugs&Suggestions forum.
Many articles reported after that were closed after 5 reports.
Edit: I think someone nuked it.

That was me.
Spam articles aren't fed to the automated system (because they legitimately contain so much stuff that in a message would be spam) so once the user is gone, his articles can be deleted with no effect on the rest of the system.
I think there is a timing bug that leaves spam articles in place if they get the fifth and sixth vote in close proximity - but it's pretty much impossible to track down in dev!

Additionally it is something that has happened from time to time due to other things like missing synchro between servers.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

I don't know who came up with Lidocaine, but I'll have your babies. Spoiler, I don't have a uterus.
If there was ever a perfect example of defensive programming, I lived it today. You youngsters and oldsters pay attention. Your gun won't fire, the bad guy's chainsaw always works fine, and when you try to run, you will trip. 
So, my son and daughter have somehow achieved a wild hair. They want a fire pit in the backyard. Today, I am delivering small slate to the area. Shoveling complete, cleaning truck bed complete, daughter closes the lift gate to the truck. Now, I'm 65, so looking to the right and left of the bed - nah, not for me. So, I go to the back, flip my left leg over and step on the hitch...
sling right leg over toward the ground...
tailgate pops open.... this all compresses to 3 seconds. If you laugh, it's okay, but you owe me:
me: I'm in physics land. Fuc.....
daughter: Ohhhh fuc.......!
my head hitting the fire pit rock: fuc.....
my butt hitting more rock: where did you come from... My butt still hurts, I'll be posting images tomorrow
I'm on the ground, scalp injuries bleed so there is blood runnin down my neck and face. No concussion but first words out of my mouth are "don;t call your mom!" she's on the phone with mom... fml.
3 female rants later, some lidocane and 6 staples to close up the 4cm hole in my head....
So teaching programming moment:
1) assume nothing
2) check your return values
3) see #1.
head is throbbing.
Oh, it gets better. Youngest daughter's wedding rehearsal is tomorrow.

bummer, feel for you.
Fast forward 25 years: same damage if you brush against the door jam as you pass through.

Itβs weird being the same age as old people. Live every day like it is your last; one day, it will be.

Are doors - including the ones in the house I've lived in for 35 years - getting narrower? I keep on bumping into them and yes, it hurts. From this week it will also bruise really badly as am now on anti-coagulants...

Because you don't use social media, but you need to know this update (because you been griping about VStudio for so long (me too) ). 
Also, hopefully, it's not just Marketing, but it probably is...

It's humbling hearing all the positive feedback from the recent features and fixes we've put into Visual Studio. I know some of them were old feature requests that took a long time for us to act on.
On behalf of the VS team, thank you!

Is it possible to modernize UI ? I know that there a feature flag, but it changes maybe 20% of UI. So many white pages, progress bars in dark mode, outdated icons and so on?

Wh3n are you going to rework the "new" resource editor which never was production ready and is a total disaster. I wonder how that piece of intern quality code ever got greenlighted.
Wow, maybe I found my new job.
I'll read all the X.com posts & then post them here.

When he says it's humbling, what he means is that it's humiliating hearing all of the complaints.

Used to be a very important and popular job. They required a degree of trust and must be pretty skilled to connect so many calls. Yet direct dial made their job obsolete and historic. I bet if we went back in time, they were worried about what job they'll do next. Does that mean we shouldn't be able to just make a call on our own?
I wonder if we can draw any parallels between that and AI today. Hmmmmm. Just food for thought.

Technological advances always displace people's jobs and in theory creates new jobs, though not as many and often requiring significant retraining / new skills.
I tend to be less concerned with AI per se and more concerned with the robotization of lots of things (which, yes, AI plays a part in of course) and the droves of people that will be replaced, a significant number being in service industries.
We're not looking at / planning for the social shifts that will result.

Tru dat buddy. And unfortunately, the masses will have to learn the hard way over and over again that change is coming.
People have always attempted to pass off "menial"* work onto others since like forever. Doubt human nature will change in our lifetime.
Say for instance, you know once robotics are cheap and advanced enough, everybody will want a robot maid like the Jetsons. Being a maid is a service but that will die out eventually too.
* I say menial in quotes because jobs like farming is one of the most honorable jobs out there. But even robots will replace some of that grunt work too.
