It's not my eyes I'm worried about. I don't care much for the bullshit either. I enjoy reading it every now and then, and contribute some of my own. What I do care about is the Score 1.0-type of messages (the latest being Mohammad Abdul-whatever). I'm just thinking that perhaps new people will see those kinds of messages, and think "What the hell is this place?". Stuff like that could taint CP, which is not so good in my opinion.

If the SoapBox didn't exists, our resident trolls would just pollute the other message boards. A litle more discipline from some posters so that they ignored the trolls rather than replying would be better. Of course, some times we just get trolls baiting each other.
Some harsher moderation would be better.

Agreed. I wonder however how it's supposed to work? As it is now, some elect have the power to move threads. Some threads belong in the soapbox, while others don't belong anywhere on the site in my opinion.
Insolvable problems. I hate those.

I'd rather have all the crap there where I can easily ignore it, than spilling over into the Lounge.

Not to mention Atheist. But then again, Atheism is just another synonym for Marxism.

Why IP address? I am behind a firewall with few more people and only of us can vote a message.

If only he limited his abuse to voting...

Hi Chris, hi CPians,
i've just had an idea for the programming forums.
in the same way the owner of a thread has the links [Modify | Delete] for his posts, it could be nice to had a [Resolved].
i thought such a link could automatically prepend the thread's question a "[Resolved]" so that everybody sees if the problem is solved already.
what do you think about it ?
|
|
|
|
|
Sounds like a good idea - however I think that the majority of people wouldn't use it. But, it would still be useful when the odd person that did use it.
|
|
|
|
|
Great idea. Everyone'll use it just like they do the message type icons.
|
|
|
|
|
I think thats a nice idea.
The Subject could probably be prefixed with a Resloved text or Icon. The reply can also be 5 voted.

Sometimes if a message submit looks like it is taking too long I will hit submit again. Sometimes it will then post it, and other times I was just too eagre and get shown the "It looks like you have already posted this message. Duplicate message has been ignored" message.
It would be really handy if that message could include a link to the original message (the one that you were trying to duplicate).
Currently you have to go back to the forum you were posting in and find the thread again.

Would it be possible to be able to report a message as spam or abuse and also vote it a 1? Or even automatically register a 1 vote if you report a message as spam or abuse? At the moment if you vote a message a 1, you can't also report it as spam or abuse

It already works like that. When you vote as abuse it gets a 1 vote automatically. I spent a good 3 or 4 minutes thinking this system through.

Cool now i want to test it but which post .....
Excuse is a word that human beings came up with to hide from the potential of failure and in doing have robbed themselves of the grace of success.

Oh good. But when you vote a 1, you can't then subsequently vote as abuse or spam, right?

I find Code Project to be a fantastic resource for me (a dabbler) as anytime I want to write something there's typically been at least one decent article written about it.
Some articles are definitely better than others, so it would be very helpful to be able to sort the results from an article search by Rating (descending). Even an option to only return articles with a rating above a certain threshold like on this message board would be helpful in filtering out all of the 1s and 2s out there.
Is this doable? Please?
Thanks,
Kevin
