Good catch!

If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

Thank you

Marked as Spam.
Can't we just delete the question? It would be much easier and quicker that way.

Reporting it as spam has another background things running than just deleting it.

We could, but without the question, there is no way for other users to flag the account as "spammer". We want the account closed as well, which requires separate Spam reports - which is why we provide links to the offending message, and the person posting it.

It's still there, but it may be a rep numbers problem that you can't see it - I'm not sure what level you need and the guide only suggests 500 Organiser to Moderate, which you have.

Can you normally see articles for approval?

If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

Didn't try so oft. My knowledge level is not so big to consider approving or editing articles before going "live", so I am not used to. Where can I find unnaproved articles to check? I am having a look to the section "latest articles" but I don't see any unnaproved to check it.

[edit]
In the latest articles list there is a codification with (N) new, (U) updated, (M) moved... Is there any tag like that for the not approved?

If your rep is high enough, then look at the Home page: http://www.codeproject.com/[^] on the right hand side, under "Our Community" is the Articles, Blogs and Tips awaiting approval list. If you rep is too low, then you won't see it at all - it will drop to "Cast Your Vote".

"our community" and "cast your vote"

I guess CP-Staff doesn't want ~~any~~everyone with platinum status to be messing with the articles, so there might be other restrictions to avoid missusage.

No, it's on individual point groups: "Editor" or "Author" perhaps. I've not found a document which explains the numbers needed yet. (Mind you, I haven't looked that hard!)

No problem, As I said I go for the articles when I search for concrete info or when the title of the ones in home page look interesting for me.

I have found this in the info page of the reputation:

Please note that the "Points Needed" column is merely a placeholder for now. Some of the current requirements are:
•Vote to remove messages: Bronze Debator
•Edit entries in Quick Answers: Silver Author, Authority, Editor or Organiser
•Delete entries in Quick Answers: Platinum Author, Authority, Editor or Organiser
•Have live hyperlinks in your biography: 1000 points.

Other items are editable depending on what edit restriction the author specified.

There's much spam today! Mad | :mad:

Those aren't spam - that is advertising, which these aren't.

Sock puppets? Probably.
Two students on the same course? Could be.
Someone who didn't like the answer he got last time, and wants to see if he can get a "better" one by asking again? Almost certainly.

As long as they don't start flooding the system with them, I don't think it needs reporting - maybe a polite "don't do that again, please" instead? Everybody has to start learning somewhere! Laugh | :laugh:

Already done.

True. I try to never stop learning. But not knowing something and willing to learn doesn't necessarily mean to be a pain in the neck Poke tongue | ;-P
