Whilst I understand the scope of users for this language to be somewhat limited and more specifically its focused on game development. I have started learning this language and write an article on it specifically for the Corona SDk however its not listed in tha languages in the article writer.

I kindly request it to be added for ease of tagging articles. I understand for formatting purposes, there are some keywords that might need addition, I can volunteer to do that too.

Kind Regards with many thanks. Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

You can do anything you set your mind to! Believe in yourself!

How about syntax highlighting?

Lua is also used in platforms such as Redis.

Anyone can write an article on Lua and add the Lua tag themselves.

cheers

Good idea, to support Lua. I though it was about syntax highlighting and support of the lang attribute, as in <pre lang="Lua">...</pre> This is the only aspect which would require the suggestion…

Neverwinter Nights uses Lua for its mods, and as far as I know the base language for mods of The elder Scrolls and Fallout series is Lua as well.

Would you consider writing code specific to a chipset?[^] and How much do you pay attention to hardware infrastructure/capabilities when choosing a cloud service provider?[^]

I assume one of these was supposed to be next week's survey.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Is it possible to automatically remove all posts of the banned spammer?

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov30-Aug-15 9:46

Re: Is it possible to automatically remove all posts of the banned spammer?

30-Aug-15 9:46

This is the problem: I recently reported this spammer: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/5118137/Pinky-Sharma-writes-commercial-advertizement-in-co.aspx[^].

The offender's account was banned (http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=11945899[^]), but his numerous posts are very irritating and are still contaminating the Q&A forum.

Another problem is that they are comment. Even if I remove the comment, the members still can see it (or maybe the members with the same privileges as mine). We really need all such posts to be removed permanently. Is it possible?

We don't automatically remove anything from accounts removed by reports. Doing so would lead to situations where legitimate content was nuked just because certain members were trigger happy. Unfortunately we do have high ranking members who report other members for no apparent reason at all.

Re: Is it possible to automatically remove all posts of the banned spammer?

Sure, this is clear, but what to do in this case? It's a big contamination to the site. The span messages are still there. Removing spammers' accounts is just one part, but keeping spam messages showing defeats the purpose of anti-spam measures.

The sample of this particular spam comment can be found here: For a program to be run on Windows and OS X, what programming language(s) is best to use?[^].

I hope you will understand my concern if you take a look at it. There was 40 if them when I looked at them for the last time.

Thank you.

Sign out and you'll notice you can no longer see the message. Search engines won't see it, nor will casual users. Signed-in members will still be able to see the evidence swaying in the breeze.

Doing so allows members to not only close questions, but also re-open questions that shouldn't have been closed.

I see. (But spam is still there. The point is: this is not a question, but comment, which appears to be more persistent Smile | :)

) I guess I have to write "spam removed" text instead of spam, even in the removed comment. Thank you, Chris.

Well I ask for the help of a big hammer in Spam and Abuse Forum, I give the reasons and the list of "no other way to get ride of" messages.

After a legitimation check of CP-Staff member, they have deleted the messages definitively.

And I like it that way. I agree with Chris that automated solutions could be dangerous.

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?

I did not really mean "automatic"

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov1-Sep-15 6:58

Re: I did not really mean "automatic"

1-Sep-15 6:58

Apparently, I poorly explained the idea. I did not mean fully automatic removal of posts triggered by the event when the account gets disabled. I meant manually triggered removal with the purpose of permanent removal of obvious spam posts. Can you see that this is still a problem?

Yes... I see your point. And yes... there is already a way.

As I told in my previous message. Rise the point in Abuse Forum asking for help as in this example[^]. Then after the required double check, they will get removed sooner or later.

Private message e-mail question

I receive notifications of replies and such in my e-mail just fine. But a few days ago I believe I had a notification of a private message e-mail, I saw the message in CP and expected to see it in my e-mail when I got home, but it seems that it never showed up. Not even in the spam folder.

Is the private message e-mail system working?
