I used to report spam with the link "Vote to Remove Message", but it is not visible for me any more since I'm not a "bronze debator". I think that's a step backwards since now spam stays for weeks in my favorite forum and nobody of us mortal, occasional participants can do anything against it. Why not give this right more freely? If you want to exercise some control, you can restrict it to normal participants, and give plus points for reporters and minus points when reporting ham as spam.

Or merely highlight it so a bronzer can run some despamification.

Right, but every spam message then will occupy three different people: One who highlights it, one who reports it, and one who eventually removes it. I think that's too much time and attention wasted on a piece of sh*tty spam. Removing spam must be much faster and simpler than creating spam, otherwise we have no chance to control that pest.

The general method of handling spam is to post a link to the spammers account here so Chris can nuke everything it's posted instead of just the messages you find.

Vista, IE7...
When entering a message, the html stuff ssems to be broken. "Use HTML in this post" nor "Encode" checkboxes appear to have ant effect.
And I just noticed that my sig is hosed as well. Well, it *was* hosed, and now it's completely gone.

Why using IE7 in Vista, believe me it make no sense. Don't you update it.

I have no choice in the matter. It's a machine on an Air Force network, and they have an "approved software list".

I assume you mean the 'Paste as HTML' option? How exactly is it broken for you? When I paste HTML with that option selected it leaves the markup alone.

I swear it was broken a couple of days ago. I had all the checkboxes checked, and pasting code was not encoding the tag brackets, and my sig went nuts.

As long as it's all good now. Maybe you got caught in the middle of an upload.

I don't usually get too worked up over voting in programming forums, but I posted an answer to a question[^] in the C++ forum last night. The answer is correct, but someone 1-voted it with no explanation. Is there any way to correct this?
[edit]
That whole thread is getting f@#%$ed up now. It looks as if someone has since 1-voted Adam's response, too, and it looks as if it was copied from the MFC source code! (I haven't actually checked on that, but that's the impression I got.)

I was more concerned with maintaining the integrity of the technical information than avenging a personal slight. But whatever. It wasn't that big of a deal, and has sort of been corrected anyway.

Don't wonder too much bout the diversity of people in the forum, it hits everyone.
I am surprised by some of the 'bad answer' votes, but equally about the missing 'good answer' votes.

and what about showing rating history where we can see who voted what ?
I'm not sure whats so confidential about hiding it, but if I want to vote somebody I must have dare to show my vote publicly. Something like in article if you vote less than 3 you must write reason. And I'm pretty sure that its not a hard job for you guys to show a list of votes as you are storing each user's vote.

The only things that will come from showing who voted are:
1. Lots of "who is member 826374?" thought bubbles. 7 million members means you probably don't know who voted for you
2. Voting wars. Someone downvotes you, so you go downvote them.
3. Legitimate voters feeling shy and no longer up-voting those who deserve the votes.
It isn't going to happen. Sorry.

thats why we need it, we need to know who voted, so we can take vote seriously. I mean if member 826374 votes me 1, I wont care about it, I know either the user is moron or someone else is holding it for voting.

In accordance with this[^] question, I confirm that I cannot find PHP in the list of languages in the articles submission wizard.
My guess is that PHP got left out by mistake OR (and I think you guys are awesome enough to think this up) populate the list of languages from the tags with with the articles are submitted.
If this is a bug, credit is completely the OP's.
Correct?
If the post was helpful, please vote, eh!

PHP is listed under technology, not language, since it's more than just a language.

Well, I just opened my profile and found too many buttons on left menu. But one of 'em looked me new so I just clicked on it(My Uploads) and got a slap from server saying that I do not have permission to view that page.
I mean whats the point, if I don't have permission why show me that link. Making it invisible is much more better than showing it and then kick the user.
I never seen these type of things before in CP, looks like some new devs got in.

Doesn't look rude to me, more of an oversight.
Anyway, that link offers platinum members a way to upload data and link to it; you may need more points to open it up.
