The small footnote that would appear at the bottom of the forum in Classic CP does not appear now. One line I could recall from it is 'Bonus levels are not applicable to Gold Members'. The other content would be a statistical table on the number of points and the level etc.
Or does it appear somewhere and am I missing it?

It is still present on the "Who's who at the CodeProject" page, which you get by clicking
your name, to the left of the "My Settings" menu item.
I too have the impression it used to appear more frequently, so I guess it has been on
other pages too but has been removed there.

1) Disallow voting for an article until it's been "made publicly available". There's no point in voting on it if it may not be approved. Further, it dilutes the reason for moderation.
2) When an article has been rejected, send the author an email with all of the selected reasons the article was reported (as well as how many times each reason was selected). Don't forget to include the comments made. Of course, we don't want to let the author know *who* reported the article.

1. I find the voting useful since it show which of those articles are borderline.
2. When articles are rejected the author is already sent an email, and the author already gets message notifications from suggestions posted in the article forum. This should cover things, right?

Add Report as Troll to message posts. If a person has been identified as troll, then anyone replying to one of the troll's posts will see message: "That person has been identified as a troll, and replies are not allowed." The troll will see nothing unusual, and won't know that replies are blocked.

Don't agree. This would see wide abuse.

Not really. This would simply bring it to the attention of CP staff, not torpedo a member.

No way!! Any troll can then "Report as Troll" a legitimate message and block replies to that, defeating the purpose of the programming forums...
|
|
|
|

I see what you're saying. It's a report and left up to the staff to determine if they are a troll. But I also see what John is saying. It would get abused. I think a simple messages posted after pointing the troll out may suffice. Like that boukh (sp) one we have suddenly.

If only that were true.

So mark all their messages with a troll icon, after a certain number of forum members has reported them as trolls.

where anybody could consume serveral services to access such data? I guess a lot of little useful gadget would be written.
Maybe it's enough to provide rss feeds for each author, providing the articles grouped by the categories etc.. so everyone could subscribe to it's favourite writer...
how about that?

There's a ton of discussion going on right now about exposing our data for widgets and gadgets. The trick is we're still trying to work out what services are most useful and what will make sense to expose without bringing us to our knees.

The License section says (for CPOL):This article, along with any associated source code and files, is licensed under The Code Project Open License (CPOL) which IMO is misleading. The article is copyrighted with all rights reserved. It's the accompanying source code that's covered by the CPOL.
The text of the CPOL explains that distinction in section 3e, but realistically, everyone isn't going to go read the full text. And not everyone that reads it will understand it. I'm concerned that people will selectively tune out everything but "this article is ... open license" and think they are allowed to copy the whole article.

The license covers the whole of the work and clearly states that in the definitions. Copyright and an end user license are two completely separate things.
I assume by misleading you mean having the words 'Article' and 'Open License' in the same sentence.
How about I add an addenda to the Preamble along the lines of
"The Articles discussing the Work published in any form by the author may not be distributed or republished without the Author's consent"

Yeah, that really is where my concern lies. The CPOL text is fine. I'm thinking about people who (with bad intentions or not) won't click through to read the license and will think it's OK to copy the article to their blog. Instead of adding that line to the license's preamble, how about adding it to the License section of the article?

Hi All/Chris,
I believe it would be a good idea to make the 'Preview Article' step mandatory when submitting an article through the wizard. There are too many formatting issues at times.
If implemented, size the popup at 1024x768 so that the author can see what others may see.
On the good side, this can be the missing step of the four step process as indicated by the feed back mechanism. (Right now it goes for 1 of 4, 2 of 3, 4 of 4).
Jeff
