I believe I had given rise to a mis-comprehension. I used 'Not Necessary' to indicate 'Restricting Classified Services to Gold + alone is Not Necessary'. However, Gold + members can be rewarded with moderation privileges.
Would that be a 'Win-Win' offer for everyone?

Has someone observed this behavior? When you paste a lengthy URL in a message, the message just gets chopped. However, the hyperlink is active since it is part of HREF attribute.
I think, this is the side effect of CP stylesheets trying to address horizontal scrollbar effects in forums because of dumb users pasting bulk of code.
I would suggest to prevent this occasional chopping; in case of lengthy texts for a particular message, that particular message alone can have a overflow:scroll.
Wouldn't that be better?

Here's a challenge for you: grab a screenshot and our stylesheet and work out which class and/or element should have the overflow set.

For the first couple of days under his latest account, Heinze posted infrequently and was only a minor irritant. That is no longer true. Perhaps he has decided that he has slipped in unnoticed by the staff and can once again operate with impugnity.

I've been away for a while so this may have already been brought up, but I have a few issues with the new Good/Bad Question and Helpful/Unhelpful Answer buttons.
1. They are way too big, especially when compared with the rest of the site. This makes them look glaringly ugly and out-of-place. I'm guessing that this was done deliberately to make them stand out, but I think they stand out a little too much and too quickly draw attention to themselves rather than the message.
2. I like the idea behind them, but I don't see how this correlates to the message score. For example, one message I saw says "5.00/5 (1 vote)". Is this to mean that one person pushed the "Helpful Answer" button and that if that person had pushed the "Unhelpful Answer" it would have voted it a 1? If that's the case, then the only possible votes are 1 and 5. It might be more useful to change the vote "5.00/5 (1 vote)" score to show how many people found the answer helpful (or the question good) out of the total number of votes. For the example I'm using, this would read "1 person found this answer helpful (out of 1 vote)"...or something like that.
Scott.

1. You are correct. I'll slim them down soonish
2. You're right. What I should display instead is X Good, Y Bad

When someone posts a new question, CP replies automatically telling him to search on Google. That will save a lot of time to the smartasses. 
|
|
|
|
|
99% of the "Search Google" replies are when somebody asks something totally generic that can be found, usually, by typing their exact subject into google.
If somebody asks a decent question, with source code, and an ounce of a hint that they are at least trying they get a good response.

The other way around would be when type the question, a DIV can popup with 'Suggested Responses' from previously answered questions.

Usually, the people who ask a decent quesion have searched the forum before posting, so "Suggestions" based on previous questions are not going to match the problem in some ocasion, and the amount of work to make that "related questions" available... ufff I don't even want to imagine it.

Why stop there? Let's have a button that says, "Search for answer on google". His question would then be transferred to google search engine.
|
|
|
|

In fact, we may automatically search for him on Google, displaying a list of links. The problem with that would be with questions like "HLEP ME PLZ UGRENT", which are prone to return irrelevant links
|
|
|
|
|
Well, consider this: a parallel CodeProject site where questions like "HLEP ME PLZ UGRENT" are shunted to, where the poster is caught unknowingly in an endless loop of bogus answers to his bogus questions, with nothing to distinguish the bogus CP from the real (bogus MC rants, bogus John Simmons Indian rants, etc.), and the CP AI answering all posts.

Wow - that's disturbing. Bogus John Simmons - is this his doppelganger? If the doppelganger is the opposite of the original then this John Simmons will be all sweetness and light. He'll offer to redecorate people's houses in pastel shades.

I just wanted to lightly touch on some topic that have come up in the lounge...
internet forums are internet forums...people get in fights and act like asses. it's not going to end unless you remove the people.
articles though, i have thought about writing my first article...however if my first article got a 1 vote and i didn't know why it did (or even who, that that this matters if the reason is legit) then I would get discouraged from bothering again.
and on the topic of forums/areas of the site that restrict members based on rating, i applaud cp for not being an uppity community where users have to "work their way up" just to use the site for its original intention.
-----------------------------------
i have been here for almost 1 year i've posted some 500 messages.
mostly to the lounge, however, i have tried my best trying to help out in the ASP.NET forums because that one seems to need a lot of attention 
im basically the only developer in my building/department so this site is a place where i can go geek out for a bit...which is why i mostly am here for the people.

You have to adopt a positive attitude here. Why are you writing the article? To get votes? I can pretty much guarantee that you will get 1 votes, no matter how good the article is. You should realize that in the long run, a few 1's won't matter - they will be overwhelmed by the votes from mature readers. What matters to me is the good comments I get from the professionals here, who help me improve my articles and my code.
If I was concerned about 1 votes, I would never have written my first article.
One suggestion: ask someone you respect in the area of the article to pre-review it and give you some comments.
Just do it!

Yes I see what you're saying...but to me, if im getting a 1 vote no biggy. But if im getting two or three and there's no feed back as to why then those votes mean nothing...
and that's what I'm getting at. I have lots of 1 votes. I dont care.
But if it's SUPPOSED to help give constructive criticism on an article, then it isn't doing that because there's no requirement to explain why the article is bad then really, these votes are just wasted and negative.
