No thanks. That will lead to spam and all kinds of abuse, such as adding unrelated questions to an OP that got quite an audience.

Gotcha!
OK, so I missed the CP equivalent of the five-second rule Click[^] That would cover both my scenarios above. My working rule is now "Except in emergency, don't reply to anything less than five minutes old."
Re the emailing:
A original
B reply
C comment
D comment
E riposte
Consider B modifying his reply. My first idea was to email to whoever was emailed B's original, i.e. A, but I can see now that C and D are also worthy of notification. E, however, I don't see the need to advise (until D changes his comment...) All these, of course, subject to the first options checkbox below where I'm typing this. [This might go some way towards addressing Luc's spam concerns.]

I'm not sure if this has been reported before, so please don't send out the hamsters to get me if that's the case.
Anyway, I just noticed that the code browser is having a problem with escape characters.
See this[^] page - view the file CSRcon.cs and scroll down to line 52. You'll see that everything after that line is treated as a string, even though the string has ended.
It seems to be the escape character (marked with bold) in the following piece of code that's causing the issue:
string command = "rcon \"" + challenge_rcon + "\" " + rconPassword + " " + rconCommand + "\n";

After major site changes, this happened with Q&A forum posts. We reported it and Chris corrected the issue in short interval. Looks like something similar out here.

It's got nine 1 votes and is still not auto-deleted. Most folks don't know that they should mark it as abuse instead of just 1-voting. An abuse vote is a 1 too but ii also sets another flag so that when the number of votes hit a threshold, the message is deleted. Recently this threshold has been too high to be useful though. Unless you post a bad grammar joke on the Lounge and a dozen folks vote on it.

Thanks, it has been auto-magically deleted. I don't know how this works exeactly, but perhaps a formula combining "Abuse Reports" and "1s" together could be used to lower the threshold?

Yeah, that may work. If there are 2 or 3 abuse votes already, then every other 1 should be treated as an abuse vote too.
|
|
|
|

Or Abuse vote = 3 "points" (or whatever weighting) and 1 vote = 1 "point", then when the total "points" reach a certain level the message gets banned. I know what you mean by the lounge BTW.

It's good to see that voting a 5 in QA now requires a comment, however this seems to be a little inconsistant.
For example, the answer I posted to this question[^] has received a greater number of 5 votes than there are comments

It doesn't require a comment. You can just close the little box and vote anyway.

5s don't require a comment. I still include a comment anyway as I think it's more encouraging to the poster.

Hi Nish,
Yeah, I agree

Comment while voting is not a mandatory here if you are voting for 4 or 5. If you are voting less than 4, it is a must one. If you want to put just a small comment instead of voting, there is a link for that.
Don't forget to Click on [Vote] and [Good Answer] on the posts that helped you.

I am well aware of the comment widget, I just assumed (wrongly) that comments on upvotes were required as they are on downvotes. All cleared up by the previous answers.

this will be turned into a bug report as soon as it occurs, it is only a matter of minutes.
"Modified on ..." message sometimes breaks into sig. Have seen this happen occasionally.
EDIT1 first edit, after 3 minutes /EDIT1
EDIT2 second edit, after 6 minutes; the modified message got added correctly; it did go wrong here[^] although I did not touch the sig at all. /EDIT2
EDIT3 it seems to go wrong upon an additional edit; so the scenario is:
create message
wait 5 minutes
edit message (this adds "Modified on..." correctly)
edit message again (this throws away the original closing /div tag from the sig, probable cause is length of sig+"Modified on..." exceeds the limit)
/EDIT3

Well, might be the case but i am sure this will be added to the bottom of 'to-do' list.
Who would had noticed it (other than you )! Rarely someone(that too with a long signature...) would edit his own message more than 2 times!
|
|
|
|
|
People should not be punished for conveying as much information as a sig allows, while iteratively improving their replies.
|
|

|

I fully agree with you!
It's just that I was trying to figure out the number of people, who would be facing this issue!

Verified and added to the bug list. Thanks Luc.

When a user deletes another users question, where does this come in the rep system? editor or organiser or somewhere else? not clear in the faq.
|
|
|
|
|
it should remove all Participant points (deleting a question defeats the whole purpose of Q&A), and add 100 to Organizer (most questions show a lack of structure) unless the question got up-voted already.
