It syncs your folder to the cloud, basically. As far as security, I mean, I don't think it encrypts what it syncs so if the cloud gets compromised I imagine your files do too, but that's with any cloud so I guess maybe that's not very helpful of me.

Excellent - so all someone needs to do is ransomware the entire cloud. What could happen?

It also contains the "Personal Vault" folder which MS claims is mega-secure.

As you are obviously a Mossad agent I guess you've been reading all my state secrets.

All none of them? 
For the record - the only connection I have with the Mossad is that my taxes help fund it.

Oh, you're on the West Coast, one of my favourite parts of the world. Sailed up and down there (LA to Vancouver, BC) a few times in the early 1960s. Yes, I am that old.

About an hour north of seattle, yeah. I was born there when the peanut farmer was president of the US. I'm only old to children.

Seattle in the 1960s was a great place. Always enjoyed a bit of shore leave there, and sneaking into The Blue Banjo, for beer and music (under 21 at the time).

I hate getting "This message has been flagged as potential spam and is awaiting moderation"
Why do I get this when I answer to a msg?
|
|
|
|
|
Because you only have 12 posts, so the site still treats you like a potential spammer. CP gets lots of it, so have patience and keep posting good stuff!
|
|

There is an automated system which monitors every post before it appears, and if it decides it may be spam (or you have a black mark against you already) your message will be passed to a moderation queue for a human to review. If the human decides to let it through, the system learns from that and treats similar messages and users less "spammishly". If it's blocked, the the system learns from that as well and will apply "black marks" to the user as appropriate.
The system works well - we had floods of spam from time to time and they have been either mitigated or eliminated by this. I know it's a PITA - I've had to moderate my own messages in the past because the system got a bit over-zealous - but it's a necessary evil in a world where a site with nearly 15,000,000 active members is a spam target. 
Try to live with it, it generally doesn't last long and we do try to release messages as fast as we can - but we are all volunteers so we do have other things to do from time to time!

Can I just add to this that codeproject is usually right on top of clearing their moderated items so if something gets flagged my experience is it doesn't take horribly long for it to get checked, nor does it disappear forever once flagged like it does on a lot of sites. Someone will get to it eventually. I like that about this place.
