For some reason, I thought this was referring to some form of accident blackspot.

The C# forum is like a bad car crash half the time so it's a valid subject line.
How's the tooth?

Fair point.

I understand the frustration but I'd prefer each question be judged on its own merits, not pre-judged by who posted it.
So saying, I do want to instoduce a Good Question / Dumb Question button pair to replace the voting in forums so that the good questions bubble up and the bad...disappear...

Sounds good to me, but won't the OP just delete the 'dumb' question though, which will leave dangling threads?

Yeah some people cross-post, and even admit they want to "increase their chances".
Maybe the best reaction is to reply each of those posts with an empty message, and
please ignore cross-poster in the subject line.
As long as people continue to provide real answers, the cross-posting will continue to exist.
The other approach is to ignore the cross-posting aspect.
Currently a lot of messages basically contain "you are cross-posting" or "you are in
the wrong forum", both of which don't add value to this site.
Maybe it is better to simply answer the question and get done with it.
Furthermore it would help if the number of forums got reduced, and their names got
improved (e.g. avoiding the confusion between both C++ forums).
It must be really confusing if you are new to CP, and start to learn programming with
VB.NET, Visual Studio, Vista and want to write a web application; a lot of forum titles
may seem to fit, so what do you do?

Good point. We need a "group by user" view that'll show all recent posts by that user - and their replies - in one block.

There's nothing like keeping it in the family.

Oh no.
Sean spent a week on and off formatting that submission. We even spent half a day checking our CMS to ensure it would handle the unicode correctly.
That was one of the most fun articles we've worked on (with Sean doing overtime to get it perfect).
I think his heart is going to break
(but what a lesson for us: check more carefully...)

What about a .NET 3.5 Framework forum so we cover all WxF technologies?

Check out this troubleshooting thread [^].
If you could be able to provide those Whitelisted CodeProject, Spam List Check, a CP Admin should be able to investigate further from thier side to address your issues quickly.
