Then what is holding you back? It's a simple, yet effective way to combat the folk here who think that they are charged by the keystroke. I think it may teach them a lesson, when they see three quarters of their post masked by askterisks, they will get their act together.

Could this happen?
int* pTmp = &val;
int* plz = pTmp;
becomes ...

int* *** = pTmp;

Probably. But you can also not filter out things like that if they're in a code block. If the code block contains profanity (bypassing the filters) it can get reported for deletion. The text speak junk should filter on written content instead and ignore code.
Of course, if you ignore the code block then it'll get filtered out.

But about 50% people in VC++ forum do not use <code> or <pre> to present the code snippets.

Well, then that can be another way to get them to follow the forum rules.

I did not think of that, that is a very excellent point. As someone said below, it could exclude items in code or pre blocks, and we could report posts abusing that as, well, abuse

Is it really that hard to
a) Hit the abuse button
b) Ignore the post?
If you wish others to act in a mature fashion we must all do the same.
Also: I would have thought that of all members, Vasudevan, you would have caught on that Swarup was way, way before Kyle's time.

True. But actually if you had observed the way the messages went astray on Monday morning, it was so disgusting and hence I thought I would alert CP Team. Slowly after an hour, the original message faded out due to a high number of votes on it.

Just got hit by this again a few minutes ago. Since the last time I posted something it's happened an average of once or twice a day. Are you really having to kick the servers that often?

So it turns out one of our database servers is having a real issue. One of our guys talked to Microsoft about it and we've been told to reduce the amount of memory we have in our database server. Evidently there is a known problem (that we didn't know about) that we're trying to get to the bottom of

whatever you did to the DB server isn't helping. I'm not certain, but it appears to be happening every time I navigate from one lounge page to a second. I haven't tested from a lounge page to a non lounge page, or between two pages on any of the other boards.

Can we have an option to filter out fat_boy on the soapbox? There are plenty of others who it'd be nice to filter too but no one else is quite so ... prolific ...
It's getting to the point no where even if I try to read the post my eyes lose focus and all I see is "blah blah blah blah global warming blah blah blah some place is cold!"

A section of soapbox can be classified as 'GWRC' or GWEC'.

Do you have any idea how much heath one more forum would create?

This is why I never go to the soapbox. It's my own fat_boy filter.
