What's the difference between "advertises a commercial product" and spam? (apart from intent, I guess).
We're announcing a change very soon that will make the "wrong section" option cover the current need.

Well you answered your own question... 
Spam is "hey look at my cool website" or "make your dong longer!"...
(can either sell something or not)
I was reluctant to select that option mainly because spam and abusive were grouped together
See Hans' reply though, what do you think?

Yeah. Right. RTFM. Sorry for wasting your time...

I've posted a comment to Esteban to explain the position - perhaps you'd care too as well, the more who do this the better.

I made an article. But the editor thinks it more suited as a tips, so he create a copy to tips and marked the article as unfinished. I want to keep the 'tips' and delete the 'article' but the links on the 'tips' point to the 'article' which means (I think) the link will break when I delete the article. How to post source code example files in tips?
I don't want to delete the 'tips' because the comment and the bookmark from others. Although I've marked the article as programming tips (duplication)
No one can prevent me to learn something

I'd be happy to upload the source for you and add it to your Tips & Tricks post

thank's. By making my old article unfinished, I can link the file from my new tips n trick article. Maybe the problem is i can't make it unfinished by myself. So I leave it that way

I thought we were supposed to get points for reporting stuff. I reported two articles and didn't see any points awarded as a result. The articles are here:

I spotted the star, all is well, I get to bookmarks, but why is there a little padlock with yellow triangle beside My Settings?
Does it mean I am Clamped?

It means they are secured. It's the quick and easy way to see what's secured for you in the site - in just the same way you see the padlock in an HTTPS page.

It means you lost on the boss level and now have to go through the locked Fortress Of Doom.
Sometimes it's used as a link to your settings via a secure connection.

"My settings" used to always use https, now it is optional. Isn't that a step backward? People tend to forget about security.
If there is a good reason to allow unsecure access, maybe it should be the exceptional case, i.e. somewhat hidden, rather than the other way around.

Speed is the reason. Accessing your settings via SSL is slow.

I had no idea the lock image was actually a different URL. I thought it just indicated that the "My Settings" link was secure. Perhaps that could use some redesign. For example, make "My Settings" use HTTPS and use an image of an open lock or something for HTTP. That way, users are defaulted to the more secure version. Though, that then presents with the problem of the user clicking the lock thinking it's the same link as "My Settings" and getting to the non-secure page. Maybe this image should be removed completely. Who accesses their settings enough for the speed issue to be a problem for them?

My thoughts exactly. Security over speed. Settings better not be viewable/editable over an insecure connection. We don't need SPAM or identity theft after using a hotspot.

It shows my old e-mail address. I can't find a way to edit this to my new e-mail address. My new e-mail address is showing just fine in my Settings page.
Thanks.
[edit]
This is not a bug and I was kindly shown the error of my ways.

At the top of the contact section, you will see an 'Edit This Address' checkbox, click this and it will then allow you to edit the greyed out fields, of which one is the email address.

All I can say is that email is an unreliable medium of exchange. Despite our best efforts and the changes we've made to improve email delivery and sneak past overzealous spam filters with nothing better to do than justify their own existence by blocking our emails and letting through news on biomedical advances, there will still be occasional emails missing, sent to junk boxes, dropped through outages somewhere between here and you or purloined by nefarious network admins thinking there may be birthday cards and money inside those emails.
