In the Rep Faq, next to the new Moderate item there is the following text;
Moderate A member receives points for moderating another member's item as being good for .
There is a space between the for and the full stop. Is there a word missing, perhaps publication, as in;
Moderate A member receives points for moderating another member's item as being good for publication.

When are you fixing both the gadget of yours... desktop rep watcher and Chrome extension?
Based on recent changes in Profile page, both are broken now. 
|
|
|
|
|
They were both fixed the night of the changes! and the articles have been updated on codeproject.
|
|
|
|
|
I hope we get the feature of article update notification soon!
Thanks Dave. Thanks for the update, I will download it right away. 5!

Question:
I'm sure you have the rights to delete the question, so why don't you?

I do!

Wanted to keep it visible for others(with low rep) to view, especially his comments when I answered him.
But, now since you said, I would go ahead and do it. Thanks.

Well I wasn't criticizing your actions, it was just I went over to see what the question was and hovered over the delete button to delete it myself when I thought to myself there must be a reason you didn't (since that was obviously a question that deserves to be deleted) and decided to ask you first.
So chalk it up to being curious

I did not took it negatively.
I just tried to tell the reason that made me post here and not delete it then.

Yeah. Curiosity, I can understand.

Strange! I see someone downvoted you.

Yeah. But, based on total now, some low rep guy he was...
|
|
|
|

well his vote of 2 gave me -2 rep points
your vote of what I assume 5 gave me +24 points so I'm gaining
Thank you low voter (and you )

If you go to his profile you can still read 1 of his comments.

Classy.

The new reporting popup menu is nice, but you've made it needlessly inconsistent. The popups for articles, blogs, and tip/tricks are all different!
It is now impossible to report a Tip/Trick for Extremely Poor Quality, Plagiarism, or Inaccurate/Misleading. It is now impossible to report an Article as Unclear or Incomplete. It seems like the Blog popup is the best of the three.
Furthermore, the whole idea of 5-votes-and-out is troubling. Do you really think 5 people are going to check into whether an article is plagiarized? It seems to me that just 1 vote of plagiarism should get an article pulled immediately, for review by editors. However, the editors will have to do their own research, because now there is no input box that will allow the reporter to enter the plagiarism url.
Finally, for articles, you missed some big ones:
1. Source Code Not Hosted On CodeProject
2. Source Code Not Available

Adjustments have been made.
In respect of the plagiarism report, these reports appear on the editor's dashboard and will be investigated.
The point of all of this is to make it simple. The list has just hit the point where I feel it's getting a little out of control so I may wind it back a little or combine items, possibly with the addition of a comments field in the dropdown as a catch-all.

You're right, the list is getting large.
Possible alternative: When you click the Report button, a modified "post message" form opens, with the subject filled in (the name/link to the article); the subject is not modifiable. You can then enter the reason for the report in the input box. When you click Submit, the message gets posted to a private editor's queue, unavailable to anyone else. By making the Subject field read-only, you can set up scripts to keep counts, etc., to elevate the report.
This form can include a prompt box, like a list of reasons for the report. Click on one of these reasons, and the reason text gets pasted into your message. But you can also enter free-form text if you want. (I'm sure Sandeep will urge you to give some hard kicks. )
You can accomplish two things with this approach: 1) get rid of a long popup menu; 2) allow some flexibility for future needs, where you can reuse this form.

Not sure how that is vastly different from the system we just replaced with the simplifed popup box...

Depends on your definition of 'vastly' I guess.
Main difference: ability to enter free-form text, like plagiarism url, so your editors don't have to do their own research; or the fact that the article's code is hosted off-CP (which we can't indicate now). Saves time all around.

Right, so my idea of providing a simple text box for additional comments within the current popup should cover that.
