Thanks for the confirmation, I must have some flag or security option set. I will keep poking at it.

Hi! When After rating quick answers I ran again into "You or someone at your IP address has been voting too often. Please wait a moment and try again". Out of curiosity what's the limit in the message boards? Can it maybe raised depending on your reputation as organiser?
Cheers

I've run into this in the past. I used to try and 5 vote the good answers in the programming forums, but it wouldn't let me vote after four or five 5-votes. I think this restriction should be higher for 5-votes, like maybe up to 20 before it tells you you need to wait.

Imagine a uni-voter  . 20 is too much. Maybe 10?
Me, I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest.
Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for...

IMO such restrictions should not apply to members exceeding some reputation threshold.

300 Organiser Points perhaps?

I'd go for one of the color thresholds, bronze or silver.
IMO most abuse can be prevented by a bronze threshold if installed early on.

Seems reasonable!

I second Luc. Less limitations depending on colour thresholds would be nice to have.
|

This change will go live tomorrow. Silver and above have no limits.

good. not very relevant to me, I seldom ran into such limit.
you should tell JSOP, he is most anxious about missing out on a few points.

I used to report spam with the link "Vote to Remove Message", but it is not visible for me any more since I'm not a "bronze debator". I think that's a step backwards since now spam stays for weeks in my favorite forum and nobody of us mortal, occasional participants can do anything against it. Why not give this right more freely? If you want to exercise some control, you can restrict it to normal participants, and give plus points for reporters and minus points when reporting ham as spam.

Or merely highlight it so a bronzer can run some despamification.

Right, but every spam message then will occupy three different people: One who highlights it, one who reports it, and one who eventually removes it. I think that's too much time and attention wasted on a piece of sh*tty spam. Removing spam must be much faster and simpler than creating spam, otherwise we have no chance to control that pest.

The general method of handling spam is to post a link to the spammers account here so Chris can nuke everything it's posted instead of just the messages you find.

Vista, IE7...
When entering a message, the html stuff ssems to be broken. "Use HTML in this post" nor "Encode" checkboxes appear to have ant effect.
And I just noticed that my sig is hosed as well. Well, it *was* hosed, and now it's completely gone.

Why using IE7 in Vista, believe me it make no sense. Don't you update it.

I have no choice in the matter. It's a machine on an Air Force network, and they have an "approved software list".

I assume you mean the 'Paste as HTML' option? How exactly is it broken for you? When I paste HTML with that option selected it leaves the markup alone.

I swear it was broken a couple of days ago. I had all the checkboxes checked, and pasting code was not encoding the tag brackets, and my sig went nuts.

As long as it's all good now. Maybe you got caught in the middle of an upload.

I don't usually get too worked up over voting in programming forums, but I posted an answer to a question[^] in the C++ forum last night. The answer is correct, but someone 1-voted it with no explanation. Is there any way to correct this?
[edit]
That whole thread is getting f@#%$ed up now. It looks as if someone has since 1-voted Adam's response, too, and it looks as if it was copied from the MFC source code! (I haven't actually checked on that, but that's the impression I got.)

I hate to say it, but I can't go around slapping someone for disagreeing with you.

I was more concerned with maintaining the integrity of the technical information than avenging a personal slight. But whatever. It wasn't that big of a deal, and has sort of been corrected anyway.
