If you upvote a suggestion it climbs higher on the to-do (to-check) list of the hamsters...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I'm not a moderator, but have all the sympathy to your mouse... 
I think that this 'quarantine' should include also the currently posted messages of the reported spammer - so those messages will not mess with the QA question list...

Agree. Voted up!
How can I join Protector's club?
|
|

It's not a club you join: it's a club you get invited into by the staff as it gives certain powers not allowed to non-protectors.
They expanded the numbers pretty recently, so I wouldn't expect any more new ones for a while yet.

Question for you - it's been suggested by Rohan Leuva that I shouldn't be deleting the spam from Q&A, just reporting it. What do you do?
|
|
|

In QA, I report the author and delete the spam.
It's a public place, so the shorter the time it's there (and it can take a while to close it via spam reports alone) the less benefit the spammer gets from it, so the less likely they should be to keep coming back.
Besides, when there are a few of 'em working together they can post faster than we can report, and that "hides" everything else from genuine enquirers.

That's what I've been doing too. Thought I'd check it out, so thanks for the reply.

From Chrome browser when I publish new articles with Images. During the preview I can see the Images but after preview the Images are missing.
For this first write article in Chrome and save it and again edit from IE and publish.
From IE its working fine.
Why I use chrome is in some IE there is no Upload button to upload our images and Source Zip files.

Cool, is that new?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I'm very sorry, I made a second mistake. I reported as abus.
[^]
No it it is not in any case abuse, it simply shows some leak.
Please revert my abuse Report.

EDIT: Firefox DevTools got me the following:
Problem: Type definitions should start with a '{', expecting serialized type 'ExpiresWrapper`1', got string starting with:

$1481
xpiresAt":"\/Date(1406108874
Not sure what THAT means (other than SOMETHING is borked!)
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Sorry Sir, but this is not the authors mistake if a page can be manipulated this way!
I read in this Forum once per week about SQL injection, now it seems somebody found a html injection...

That's not HTML injection: that's our article page dying halfway through rendering due to data corruption by our Redis client (which we're about to ditch because it's way too flaky for my liking).

Sorry to the Author.

I just reported some spam in the Spam and Abuse Watch forum, but my message wasn't posted, which I found weird. Then, I went to the homepage and I saw "1 message needs moderation". Indeed, that was my message. It has probably caught that because of the links to the spam questions. Also, I could even approve the message myself.
Now my message has been caught and I could take a closer look at the message moderation, I have some suggestions/bug reports:
- Could you please tweak the filters so the above doesn't happen? It might slow down spam reports for more hidden posts.
- It should probably be disallowed that posters can moderate their own messages.
- I was not notified about the fact that my message was awaiting moderation. Can a notification please be implemented?
- When your message goes to the queue, you get a -1 rep event, with the explanation "Post a General Forum Message (undo)". This is a bit misleading because it was never undone. When it was eventually posted, I got 1 point for posting, but the -1 event was still there. It's just 1 rep, so it's no problem for me, but it still looks like a bug.
- After a message has been approved, it shows [modified] in the title, even while I didn't edit it.

I moderated similar messages form another user.
To avoid this you should not link to the messages using the text "Spam" or the plain link which may contain words from the subjcet that trigger the spam detection. Instead provide links to the account and to the list of the user's messages or Q&A.
These lists show the still existing posts when viewing so that others will also see new posts but not already removed ones. When there are multiple spam posts from one user, creating the report with the list links is also simpler than adding multiple links.
The problem with adding [modified] to the subject has been already reported by me here.

That works indeed, thanks!
