It's either that, or force Chris and co. to continue to play clean-up... Jeremy Kimball Re: Radical steps for troll-avoidance Member 9621-Nov-03 7:45 Member 96 21-Nov-03 7:45  Wouldn't it make sense to give some people moderator level power, they could either delete a post outright if it was flagrantly violating something, or have the option of moving it to the soap box and leaving a placeholder behind that says "this message moved to soapbox by moderator" with a link? I support two teams: the Canucks and whoever is playing the Leafs! Re: Radical steps for troll-avoidance JWood24-Nov-03 5:14 JWood 24-Nov-03 5:14  Another solution and one that might elimination "forum spam" is to have a message deleted, if it message gets a rating of 1.0, with 5 votes or more votes.

Sarvesvara (BVKS) Dasa18-Nov-03 19:47 Sarvesvara (BVKS) Dasa 18-Nov-03 19:47  Can there be a link for a member... where I can see to whom I have voted and what the vote is and the message link etc. I can one day or other use this as a 'fav link' when I want to search for something in CP?

That would be one way of doing it, but I think a "Comment Bookmarks" feature would be the best way to do it. That's something I really wish CP had.

I can use that messages as an indirect link to my 'Fav Links'... so that I would just vote the messages that I want to keep track of (you know how the lounge keeps populating)... and one fine day, I can return to it when I need that.

Anonymous18-Nov-03 9:07 Anonymous 18-Nov-03 9:07  This doesn't happen all the time - I think the lounge code acts differently - but when I post a message on a forum when logged into codetools.com, I end up viewing the post on codeproject.com - something hardcoded here? Reeeeeeeealy minor issue here, and not complaining, gee gosh no, but it can be odd if you have different settings for the two 'sites'. For example, when I started my session I was logged in... Re: Interesting... Roger Wright18-Nov-03 19:18 Roger Wright 18-Nov-03 19:18  CodeProject is the parent site, but Chris has a number of aliases registered that lead here, codetools.com being one of them. Navigate directly to www.codeproject.com and log in as you would to codetools.com. If you have cookies enabled and click the appropriate boxes on the popups, you won't have to log in again. You're correct that the Lounge code acts differently - I believe that a while back there was a filter installed to prevent posting by anonymous posters in the Lounge to block a lot of spam and trolls. "Your village called - They're missing their idiot." Last Day Michael P Butler18-Nov-03 2:54 Michael P Butler 18-Nov-03 2:54  Currently browsing with the filter set to Last Day. Reply to a message in the Lounge (and other forums) When the message list is refreshed after a message has been saved, the filter is set back to All. It doesn't seem to change when doing a new message though. *EDIT* but it resets it to All when you edit the message. Is this a bug, or is my IE totally whacked out.

I'll look into it. cheers, Chris Maunder Moved pages Paul Watson18-Nov-03 0:56 Paul Watson 18-Nov-03 0:56  I bookmark CP articles in my browser, not through the CP system. Often I will spy an interesting article, bookmark it and then want to come back and read it later. However often those are useritems, not yet edited or assigned to the right category. Often between bookmarking the article and going back to read it, it has been edited and moved. Now most of the time the CP system does a fine job in telling you "No such page, but it looks like you were looking for this article". But sometimes it does not and then I am left to hunt for the article. The search is not always fruitful in this regard. So, why not leave behind the useritem asp file and have it redirect to the now edited article? regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Brian Welsch wrote: "blah blah blah, maybe a potato?" while translating my Afrikaans.
