This function is obviously abused in it self, but I personally don't believe that it needs/should to be removed.
My suggestion is that the Report User as troll/abusive shouldn't be enabled, unless the user have had several previous messages reported as abusive.

Dear CodeProject developers!
I was editing the article (http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/321233/TMAverage) and I`ve received "The filename did not contain valid characters" when pressed Submit button. I didn`t find any problems about filename, so, I tried again - nothing changed. Then I posted another article with slightly changed names (directory name, article name). After editing and posting from one attempt I succeeded in publishing. But then, when I tried updating - got the same mistake: incvalid character in the filename. I think it`s not invalid character.
The problem was also in incorrect view of the code (that`s why I decided to update) - but in the preview window it was just OK. Any ideas?

I've just updated your article using my account and your account and both times was successful. Are you adding any non-ASCII characters to the title?

Chris,
I'm having the same problem & I don't have any non-ASCII characters: A DatePicker based Event Calendar with MVC3 and AJAX. I tried clearing the title box and typed "ZZZZZ", it still happened.
It submitted the article OK through the wizard a couple of hours before, I was just making a few ammendments before publishing. The error is happening both when go to "My Articles" --> "Edit this article", and when I open the article itself and click "Update Your Article"
[Edit]
I forgot to say, the page was posting back, so it wasn't client side validation. Dunno if this helps...

Just to confirm: you click to edit the article, and whether you make changes or not, when you hit submit it throws an error?
I just edited it and it went through without a single problem for me. This is doing my head in.
BTW, it's marked as deleted. Do you want me to undelete it?

Here is what I tried:
- I only added a small bit of text to the article body (a paragraph, and an ol with one li in it) - I got the error
- I only changed the title to "ZZZZZ" without changing anything else. - I got the error
I went in a third time to try just re-submitting with no change, but the article was deleted (not sure how) but given 1&2 it looks likely that no change would give the error. Not the same thing as testing it though

Please (see the primal scream below)...

I found the issue with your article (and 27 other articles) that would have caused this error. It all goes back to a change we made a couple of months ago while we transitioned over to a new file system and there was a very brief gap in which a few articles became a little confused.

Cool. Shall we try again?

Please do, and let me know how it goes.

Thanks for undeleting the article, I drafted in Word but it took a good while to transfer to HTML!
|
|
|
|

In the online HTML editor there is a button that looks like <> in a circle with a line through it. Just paste your word doc into the editor, click this button, and a lot of the grunt work in converting from Word to HTML is done.

The article now has just disappeared. It couldn't be so bad that it merits deletion before being published, surely?
I thought this merited its own post.

Michael Martin's account has been closed. While his posts have been fruity of language, nothing that he posted was spam, trollish or abusive.

See my response[^].
Basically: A good idea but it needs work. MM's account is back.

Still looks gone to me.

He came back, but now he has been banned again. Honestly, it's like a bloody revolving door.

His colourful message is still there so members are kindly sticking daggers into it. In tomorrow's update that system will be unplugged. For now I've restored it. Again.
