New users won't see those moderated messages.

Maybe they ought to. Just thinking about it, if the message you post doesn't appear the automatic reaction (with me at least) is "I made a mistake" and there is a natural inclination to repost. With many, there's an anger or frustration response and a second post to try and get it up. An email saying "you have been sent to moderation" may take quarter of an hour to arrive - that's the Outlook / Live Mail default poll time - so there is nothing to tell them what is happening.
I think that either we need a "place holder" telling them, or a "you are being moderated, it shouldn't take long" page to just let them know what is happening in a civilized way.
And ... it might reduce spam if they know immediately that it isn't going direct to publication?
Just a thought.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Or getting the spammers attention on it and making them to improve until they don't get caught...
But... about the reposts of legitimate users... I have been there several times. I approved the bunch of messages and deleted all repetitions until only one left

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?

So how about a change then?
The antispam system is pretty effective - and the "false positive" count appears to be dropping from what I can see.
First post goes to moderation: you get a message telling you that has happened.
While you have any posts in moderation, you can't post again.
That way, the innocent get told what is happening, and spammers can't flood the system. Since nothing stays in moderation for that long under normal circumstances, it's not a major hardship for legitimate users.

I find it a cool idea, but being devil's advocate... that will piss many "fast plzzz" users off
mmmmmm... Thinking it better... Chris please, yes. Implement it

I could'nt understand why Authority or Moderator is doing that most of mine answers are downvoted even though those were accepted answers.
see this
How do I fix object reference not set to an instance of an object.[^]
see this
How can I change for and foreach loop in linq C#[^]
And right now I answered one question which is perfectly valid but Authority person has downvoted it. If he/she can'nt understand what is being asked and what is being answered then how can he/she down vote any answer.
Plz at least do wait for the response from the person who has asked the question. If you guys don't understand then that can help you.

1) Authority is not the one who is downvoting you. Authority is the cathegory where you are being downvoted. Votes are anonymous
2) Reputation is not that important. Don't take it too serious.

Someone posted a comment explaining exactly why you were given a low vote. You seemed to ignore that comment and ask again.
On the first one, I don't know, but it may be because you asked the OP to mark yours as the accepted solution. I know that is done in some communities but not in this one. And you also added 3 ! after it. It's considered childish to use lots of ! or ALL CAPS or abbreviations.
And most importantly, just do your best to answer and contribute and then do not worry about the points.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Boo. 
This space for rent

It's missing a space at the end.
But if you put a space at the end we trim the space.

What's odd is it used to work. I've responded with just a single smiley before.

Fixed in next deploy.

OK, I'm just going to disable that section of code until Matthew's back to fix it properly.

I've made a quick change. Please let me know if you see the issue again. If you do I'll bring out a bigger hammer.

I don't know if there is someone to fix it before new year, but it is worst then ever... Not only new comments are missing, but also old ones are gone...
-- EDIT --
It seems to be a QA-comments only problem... Solutions in QA and other forum post are showing as expected, why comments on QA are gone, even some of the m are weeks old...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.
