Closed as in deleted? If so, earlier when a question or answer was deleted, 'Deleted' with yellow background was visible making it clear enough. Has the implementation changed?
If closed is not deleted then it looks like this is a new state - how do we get to this state?

I do checked both options:
[x] Send me an e-mail if someone replies to the message
[x] Allow private email replies to the message
and the e-mails don't comming to me.
My e-mail box options:
[x] don't move [SPAM] into SPAM folder
[x] add [SPAM] to the header of message, when it is potentially SPAM
What should i do, if i want to get e-mails from codeproject?
I can only receive NewsLetter...

I just wanted to check if the quite derisive and ridiculing questions here:
Another example of "Can't be bothered to do anything for myself"[^] [Edit]Link no longer valid. Question has been deleted.[/Edit]Homework style question[^] [Edit]Link no longer valid. Question has been deleted.[/Edit]
really called for this quite unprofessional behaviour. It seems to me that this member falsified OP's original question. This can no longer be checked as the versioning information link is no longer displayed. The author most likely to be accountable seems to be http://www.codeproject.com/Members/Pete-OHanlon[^].
Will somebody please look into the missing versioning link and this (perceived thus by me) abusive behaviour.
Regards,
Manfred

Chris - Manfred is right. I was unfairly harsh, and I am not happy with having added the comments there. If you could revert the messages to the original, that would be great (or open them up so I can revert them).

The versioning information is still missing from edited questions.
Is this intentional or are you the hamsters still working on it?
Cheers!

Ahemm, and what do Article have to do with the questions in Q&A? 
OK, just went back to double check and now I see them again for an answer that I edited just for that purpose. Does that mean I'll only see the version numbers when I also edited the question or did something just go haywire yesterday?
Anyhow, I'm glad it seems to be working again. 
Thank you for your support and have a nice day!

a) QA is piggy-backing off the article system (shhh!)
b) Yes, something went haywire yesterday.

While amusing, that commentary should go in a comment.
Editing a question to add 'GimmeCode' and 'Homework' tags is okay, though, right? I do that quite often as it appears to be the purpose of those tags.

I guess this may have to do with the fact that commenting was broken in Q&A for a while today.
And yes it was sort of amusing reading the question, but it still is not OK to do so.

right?
I wholeheartedly agree with that.
What really got to me was the seemingly obvious derisive and ridiculing tone in which the question seems to have been rewritten.
I wasn't sure if OP would have phrased somthing like that. Alas couldn't check it as the link with the version information was not there.
I don't think that it is OK to falsify a question in such a manner. (The tagging is OK though)

Manfred

Manfred, while I agree that I probably let the questions get to me and that on another day I wouldn't have edited them in quite such a harsh way, I didn't actually change that much of the text - the OP just listed out what the output was, and I moved the text from the heading into the body of the question. The question was not falsified though.
So, point well made and I will try to "be more professional" and I hang my head in shame.

OK, my bad then.  I just couldn't believe OP would have written something like that. Anyway I do apologize for accusing you of doing this.
I hope you'll forgive me! ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Don't be. As I said, I did add what would normally be in the comments in there, but I really shouldn't have. The fault was mine - and you were right to question it.
|
|
|
|

What, where eh?
Nothing to see here just go along now! 
The question have sort of passed away and lets just pretend nothing happened.

Manfred

To be fair, he did tell you to find some women. You can tell your good lady that you were told to do this.

I do like that it was plural.

I see that you got four upvotes (including mine) and only one down vote which, should it come from OP, would not account for many points. As to tagging this question as "Homework", I tend to agree with OP as it was stated clearly in the question what the purpose of his question was. Doing a semester project is not exactly homework and OP readily admitted that it was for a project.
Just my two cents!

Manfred

I don't see any difference here.

Even more reason my tag was appropriate.
Tagging it as Homework seems fitting for work that is admittedly for school, that is done outside of class or lab. It doesn't mean it is a bad question. It is much different than GimmeCode, which I agree, would not be inappropriate here.

Hi Bob,
I disagree with this:
1. first of all, as I am sure you are at Platinum rank as whatever, you have the right to delete the question, if it's way out-of-line.
2. If I feel a question is "gimmecodez" or "homework," but does not deserve deletion, I downvote it, and add a comment as to why I downvoted it: that expresses what I think, and takes responsibility for my opinion, since the OP can see my name.
Now there are "edge cases:" where some questions, imho, "border on," being in the verboten categories, but have something in them where I feel that some helpful comment can be made to, at least, point the confused OP to a resource for educating themselves.
It can also be an opportunity to remind said OP that searching CP may well turn up an exact answer to the question asked.
3. I think tagging the OP's question in such ways is simply cheap insult, done anonymously.
If enough people #1 vote a question, why not also automatically remove the question, as is done elsewhere on CP ?
best, Bill
"Humans are amphibians ... half spirit and half animal ... as spirits they belong to the eternal world, but as animals they inhabit time. This means that while their spirit can be directed to an eternal object, their bodies, passions, and imaginations are in continual change, for to be in time, means to change. Their nearest approach to constancy, therefore, is undulation: the repeated return to a level from which they repeatedly fall back, a series of troughs and peaks.” C.S. Lewis
