I didn't even notice that had changed. Since it appears we pushed the Live Stream Spammers out (for now) or Chris deployed a new batch of spam eating hamsters, I don't have a pressing need for being able to delete questions and answers.

I also don't have, but I always delete spam questions after the spammer is gone. I never delete them before the spammers are gone, because in that case there's no proof that the member was a spammer.

For Questions and Answers you only get emails if your question is closed. For articles, it's the same, but for "Needs formatting" reports, our Editors monitor these directly and take action as required.

Would they, though?

Would they? They might. If they won't, the comment would not help, either.
And, to comment on reporting, to was good to know that the notification on reporting or statistic of reports is not provided. Thank you for answering my question.

This[^] user has abuse voted me (at least) twice for questioning why there's no source code in this[^] article. Perhaps one of the admins could have a word with him about abuse voting to remove disagreements with him from articles.

I am writing a very delicate email as we speak.

Cheers Sean. With just a little bit of work, he could probably turn it into a decent article.

I see peace burgeoning on that thread. He's in good hands. Thank you Pete.

Not a problem mate. I really didn't want to vote abuse, so if he's happy then I'm happy. Thanks for intervening.

Don't delete the article. Don't delete the message either, and I apologise if I helped to make your day that little bit worse. There is an easier option - Sean, can you please delete the message chain from the article? That way it's a fresh start.
|
|
|
|

Yes, yes I can. I have done so. We're all on the same page now, and we all want to see the article do well.

Thanks Sean. Much appreciated.

Sean, could you please delete the messages from the article? That way we can all start fresh with it and see where it goes from there.

This one was a special case because of the interactions I had with this user. Sean and I had a word with him and he's a good citizen then.
|
|
|
|

This is great. I also had some cases when a little motivated explanation or friendly warning makes a member play fairly, but it rarely affect heavy abusers or cheaters.
And thank you for answering my question.
Do you have an opinion on my suggestion to provide notifications on member reports to the member being reported?

I have to agree that it should certainly help.

After a discussion with Sean this morning we've decided to reduce the number of votes needed to close an item in Quick Answers. Previously it required 5 votes. It now requires only 3.
As always, let's help those who are having trouble framing their question properly by editing them, and lets help our technical experts sort the wheat from the chaff by closeing those questions that simply aren't phrased in a way that makes it possible to answer.

The latest revision of Take MVC to the Next Level in .Net[^] is currently in the approval queue.
If you look in the comments, a member already questioned whether this is a legitimate article or if it should be considered spam.
I have not reported it at this point. What do you think?

Conversely I think that one is OK. It's clear the article is by and on belhalf of a company. There's useful technical detail in there, everything is CPOL licensed and it's clear that the product behind this is Open Source so they don't appear on the surface at least to be trying to sell anything.
This comes down to Code Project policy as to how this is seen but I wouldn't want it to be impossible for an article to be written linking to OSS code just because that code was developed by a company that also does commercial stuff. I would have to withdraw my articles in that case as well.

I don't disagree with you, I think I even agree  . The article and CodePlex project look solid (I might even try out that plugin), but I took the question to this forum because the roads lead back to a retail version and I am always trying get better at making a decision on this very issue.
BTW, I support the way the profile posting this article is completely open about it representing the company. My alarm bells go off when such a trail is hidden, but reveals itself once you dig into it.

Article currently up for approval CSS3 isn't supported by all old Browsers[^].
It's small but reasonably done and includes useful info so I would approve except that it is also a thinly disguised advert for this product[^] which seems to be a Sencha side project. Is this considered fronting for a commercial product because it's Sencha and they should be paying for the advert or OK because this particular tool seems to be a free download/side project and the article is otherwise fine?
Too tough a call for me.

This article seems to have had a slight change of name to CSS3 is not working in IE7 & IE8[^] and just came into the queue again. I ended up tagging it as spam, but after taking a closer look at the website, I think I might have made a mistake...
I would also like to hear what you guys think.
BTW, the formatting of the article is horrible on my mobile IE10.
