I felt a great disturbance in the CodeProject, as if millions of reputation points cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced...
He was here earlier today, by the way.

Yes, he was, and he just editted the question that I re-editted removing the pre element inside the post and just when I submitted the question, he was gone (his reputation was 0).
I do respect the terms of CodeProject and the freedom for everyone to report any user, no matter what status he belongs to. But atleast before removing the user's account, a moderator must take a look at the account being removed, just the way messages are moderated. This would let the people who're really an asset for CodeProject, to continue their work without any problem and trouble.
I still remember his words, when he said, most of times an annoyed user would report your profile and downvote your posts. Don't worry, just continue doing the good work.

That would reduce the speed of dealing with the spam, but I see your point.
I prefer the idea of having the number of your own reports visible in the profile. That way you could ask for revision by CP-Staff. If many reports from just created users, then you know it is a plain revenge for something.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Well, yes atleast either one of these options must be made active to let the users have a look at the time they've been flagged or reported.
Even if moderators are not to be involved, still the user must be able to view his own reports and if anything is fishy he can ask for a review to the staff instead of waiting for an entire day, which is even worst.

A cynical part of me wonders at the timing. Just before the MVP awards are handed out.

Maybe they are bringing in a new award "Most Annoying Professional"

Thank you everyone for your concerns.
To satisfy your curiosity: the message I received reported that I was reported for spam four times. For spam. Isn't that funny?
I think this the case where everyone should learn the about the Arrow's impossibility theorem.
I mean, such cases are theoretically unavoidable. Anyway, some food for thought.

Thank you, Sander.
Let me use the occasion to say that I like your SanderRossel lazy initialization class.

Thanks!
I was thinking of releasing it as a library and writing an article about it. I'm pretty sure many people would need such a class.
Needless to say I was too lazy

Many thanks, Sergey, I really appreciate the opportunity to share my work and precious [h]:mm:ss of the lifetime on this site with professionals like you, and Sander (kudos to him for his position on this issue) and many other Legends of CP. I also find it relevant to say a word of praise to our member Afzaal for his civic courage of standing on principles and raising alert by blowing a 'digital whistle' about this outrageous incident. Best wishes to you, folks, and to our valuable authors/contributors! A message to some others ('4' in your case, '7' in my case) - please Watch Your Mouse, gentlemen (and keyboard as well ). Thanks and regards,

"there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour."
I am more concerned about the chronic absence of many of Code Project's best-and-brightest (including many MVP's) from regular participation in QA Forums than I am concerned about the absence of Solipsismly All Knowing which, I assume, is a temporary fluke caused by the god the Greeks referred to as Nemesis.
However, until we hear from the Hierophant of the Eschaton, Lord _Maxxx_, mouthpiece of Vishnu, it is too early to celebrate the arrival of PooperPig (aka Kalki) and the end of the universe when all reputation points revert by implosion to being the plasma necessary to resuscitate comatose reality into exhaling a Big Bang.
So, I think I'll have another hot soy-milk-latte with unprocessed female palm-tree sugar exudate.
cheers, Bill
p.s. Chrome spell-check doesn't know "exudate" !

I've been reading about "the Linux gun" for a few years now, but looks like they're upgraded:
TrackingPoint shows off the “Mile Maker,” a rifle with 1,800-yard range[^]
Quote: This year we got to take a peek at a new prototype weapon that can accurately put rounds on targets up to a mile away—targets that can be moving up to 30 miles per hour.
They claim even an untrained user can be 70% accurate on the first shot. Expensive, but oy.
And you can even stream to YouTube! Happiness and joy.

I'm wondering when Microsoft would jump into this and ruin everything saying, "Microsoft <3 Linux".  What do you say?
