Gotcha.
In this case, again, no.
Firstly: the spam filter was misfiring but I've now fixed that so you should not be getting the false reports you saw yesterday. Basically: it should not be an issue that needs fixing because if you are caught as a spammer (rare) then it's usually made public quickly.
Secondly, as Grid pointed out, it provides a great way for spammers to quickly test their messages and get them past our spam filter. That's a Bad Idea.

I just posted a reply to a question in the C# forum. Right after I posted, I realized I'd made a typo (misspelled "throwing"), and edited my answer.
My edited answer was flagged as potential spam and was put in the moderation queue. This is the first time in 17 years a CP message I've written has been flagged as spam.

What's the problem? Front gate not high enough for you to bother to chuck the package over? Dressed in brown I see.
I suppose that I should really buck-up and walk up to the grate and have THIS conversation with you:
"Ok, this stream of words issuing from your mouth should not be construed as information about who you are, what you're doing standing on the sidewalk caterwailing before my apartment trying to gain admission into the courtyard, and why I'm not walking up to you but ignoring you
"Oh, i see psychology! Yeah, yeah ignore me until I release some pattern of twitches you wish to shape then hop on it with something like "I intend to murder you; as you" can see, noone else is home ..."

Congratulations!

Edit: well, those server messages don't mean the comments were not consumed ! They all showed up ... later.
Is it possible for the server message to indicate whether the comment is in the queue ... or is "lost" ? Or, do I just need to have more "faith" ?
Is it possible that when a comment has been made, and submit clicked, that the comment can be left open until the server actually has consumed the comment ?
Tired of re-typing long comments
thanks, Bill

Look at the ugliness of a table in this article, where it is simply put by default:
All in One Toolchain for Article Writing with Visual Studio Code.
First of all, elements badly need some padding. And perhaps some default simple bordering/shading.
This is the CSS I normally use:
th, td { border: thin solid black; padding-left: 1em; padding-right: 1em; }
th { border-bottom: solid black 2px; }
th { background-color: lightGray; font-weight: normal; font-size: 100%; }
table { border: solid black 2px; border-collapse: collapse; }
How about that?
Thank you.

Oh... yes, I did, but I forgot about these features. Thank you.
Then my suggestion would be different: one of those quite reasonable style sets should be applied as default to the table without any CSS classes applied. Isn't that reasonable?
Thank you anyway. At least I can manually fix one particular article...
Well, and not even manually.
Just for your understanding: again, the method I developed is to prepare 100% of CodeProject article off-line in a very convenient environment. This is Visual Studio Code with Markdown now. Now it works 100%, with all the work-around techniques of the problems I asked to you to fix lately (TOC style), and is 100% shared with our readers in this very article. I think such comprehensive work for particularly useful the community deserve certain support.

By the way, may I remind you... how about my question about my Tetris article, Tetris on Canvas?
Its "Live Preview" section still stays empty. This section was your initiative; and we agreed that I would have to address you to modify the article, because the author's submission would not pass the iframe you've used. I remind you that something happened in between, so the section shows empty space for a long time now; and people keep downloading the game.
As a minimum, I need to know: shall I remove this section completely, or you could restore it?
Thank you.

Would it be possible to add a button to the two options? At the moment we have "Allow" and "Kill" buttons, it would be handy occasionally to have a "Sanitize" button as well.
The idea is this: we get someone who has been here a while, and posted legit stuff - then he adds a question which contains a near-legitimate link to his own site which probably counts as spam, but the chances are it's inadvertent (like this one: How to get title from other websites and display it on my website[^])
At the moment we can let it through (and edit it manually, but that can take a while for the various servers to catch up and show it in the QA lists), or delete it. It'd would be handy to say "let it through, but delete all the links / URL's" and have it done automatically.
Is that possible at all?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

It's definitely possible.

When upvoting a message on a forum, the page position changes so that the upvoted message is the topmost.
As far as I can see, there is no benefit of this behaviour, instead it often causes the mouse cursor to be over completely different message.
