We are having problems with spoofing of authors, how about if an author is added an email is sent to that person and doesn't proceed until the added author approves it?
In addition removal of an author should only be possible after apporval by all authors listed.
Yes, a pain but this is getting out of hand.

I do need to do something but part of the issue is that sometimes email simply doesn't make it through to some members because of over enthusiastic spam blockers. This could mean articles are stuck in limbo.
I guess an email "Please approve this" can be sent to all involved, along with instructions to each author to pass this on to the other authors to ensure they get it.

That seems reasonable. Since all authors involved in something should be taking a look at the post editing version anyway spotting cases where the filters were hungry shouldn't be a real difficulty.

That's actually almost coherent. Some (most?) of the blog entries have outstripped all previous records of crapdom.

Really sad to hear such a comment. I'll delete all my posts and will remove my blog from Codeproject RSS feed.

Jijo.

Bring 'em back. My blogs also appeared severly mangled, and Chris and Co sorted them out for me. Please don't deprive CP of them just because a technical SNAFU got in the way.

Hey Hans,
I went through his blog : http://weseetips.com/[^]
It's not earth shattering stuff, but they seem to be pretty normal blog entries. Perhaps the CP code didn't pull the entire content and may have just got the first few sentences?
Anyway the guy has removed all his blog entries stung by your feedback, so I guess there's no point in discussing this now

I actually like his blog.

Well, for one thing, you're trying to put your article text into the DESCRIPTION. Pay attention to what you're doing.

I've just added my RSS feed to technical blog. I've done nothing else. Well, how can i correct it? Any idea?

John, he's not doing that - it's all automated by CodeProject server side code that pulls content via the RSS feeds and converts them into articles.

Okay Chris. I hope the new RSS reader will be alive soon. So could you please delete my incomplete entries before getting published? Thanks a lot!
BTW, my blog is hosted in Wordpress.com.
Thanks & Regards,
Jijo.

I'll have Sean clean it out.
WordPress is the main feed we've seen that uses a feed that our reader doesn't like.

Hey Chris,
You'll soon find (or rather Thiru and Sean will, assuming they are working on this) that WordPress has several active versions out there, and each with its own quirks. The WordPress site itself uses the latest stable version, but 3rd party blogs and self-hosted blogs will have any of several versions.
I would suggest an intermediate step where it goes this way :
Step 1 : CP pulls the content
Step 2 : Author gets a shot at editing it
Step 3 : Entry goes live on CP
This would allow people to fix things, specially formatting.

Would it be possible to add a (n optional) setting telling users' citizenship ? We have often the case of people coming originally from one country (citizenship) and working in another one (location), and I think it would be interesting if in the bio they could provide both information using the flags.
I hope this does not break any privacy rule.

|
|
|

Note that it still won't tell you someone's ethnic origin. For example, there are US citizens of Indian origin working in Canada. So their location will say Canada, citizenship will say USA but their ethnic origin will be neither.

Never heard of someone in that situation  
Seriously, yes, you are right. I actually meant what you call "ethnic origin", what IMO tells in most cases more about the culture of the people I am writing to than his current citizenship. On the other hand, the contrary must sometimes also be true (citizenship explains more about one's opinions than his/her origin). But three flags in the settings would definitely be too much...
