Reason: The people that start threads, dictate the direction of the discussions in the Lounge, and quite frankly today has been one of the worst.
Currently posting a message gains you one rep point and if a platinum member votes up you get +24, a vote down results in -16.
If you made a thread starter post worth 2 and then gave the votes a bigger weighting say +32 for an up-vote and -24 for a down-vote, it may help to discourage some of the poorer threads and also encouraqe people with something interesting to say to post it.
Another pro is we could have an extra statistic on our memeber page, below the message count, which shows thread count. This will make finding threads easier, as sometimes I want to find a thread started by Slacker007 say, but have to search through pages of his messages to find it.

I think you were on a slight roll until you mentioned my screen name. Instant buzz kill.

Screen name? You mean that isn't your real name, now that is a buzz kill.

He is Slacker the 7th. He just abridged that to Slacker007 for succinctness!

I think we need an alert icon for spammers and troll alerts. That way we are not using the Suggestion "light-bulb"...an alert really isn't a suggestion.
A turd with flies all around might work.

The first thought that came to mind for me was a "Whack-a-mole"
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

whack-a-mole...another good one.

You're a turd with flys around? You might want to edit that sentence.

Done.
Another perfect example of how one's thoughts don't always get conveyed the proper way in print.

I don't think we need to post spammer/troll alerts in this forum anymore. We can just use the report button on the spammer's/troll's member page.

|
|
Even better.

Repost!!! Speaking of, we NEED to be able to report a post as a repost; enough votes and that message gets some sort of icon that shames the OP.

The truth in the matter is that I am very reluctant to report a member as a bad seed. I, myself, am a bad seed and I would really hate it if someone reported me as a turd nugget.

What do you mean by "if"? Surely "when" is more appropriate?

Gee Pete, I didn't know you cared.

Well, seeing that I couldn't put a joke icon on there, I had to make do with the question icon.

I new you were joking Pete.

Link to a commercial site. Please check!

It's not SPAM. Seems like it may be a joke, perhaps related to the recent bitcoin story in the Code Project daily email. FYI, if you think somebody is a spammer, you can now report them on their member page (though I wouldn't recommend that in this case... look at the guy's reputation... obviously not a spammer).

I didn't say OP was a spammer I just thought that linking to site like that would qualify as spam.
Neither can I see what a high reputation score would have to do with that. Except of course if we were applying different measures which I would find quite harmful.
I'll just let it rest at that and keep a watchfull eye!
Cheers!

And Article that I want to get removed from is

Please help.
Regard,
