You'd be surprised. Whilst most spammers are relatively new accounts, sometimes we get spam from accounts that have been dormant for many years.
I couldn't comment on how easy a content analyzer would be to implement. IIRC, the current system uses some form of Bayesian filter to compare the properties of new messages to messages which have previously been reported as spam. Which is probably very similar to what an "AI" solution would do.

To add to what Richard has said, sometimes spammers just keep on coming back and back: We have one guy who has been trying to rent out a photo booth he bought for nearly a decade!

Mental diseases can manifest themselves in many forms! Like I said I'd just eliminate such specimens from society... unfortunately, easier said than done!
But paranoia is also one of them! In this case however, it's called compromise. Or a necessary evil... ![Frown | :(](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/smiley_frown.gif)

When you get a couple of "this is OK" from users that can see the moderation list, the system will learn and give you more room.
Just be a bit patient.

I haven't been receiving my Daily Insider mails since the 29th August. Other mails come in OK.

Same here! Any way one can check if new editions of Daily Insider have been published? Or, is there a today's edition online, one can check?
What's going on?

Looking at the online version[^], there doesn't seem to have been a "Daily Insider" newsletter published since 29th August.
Perhaps Kent is on holiday? His last post in the Insider News forum[^] was 28th August.

Thanks a lot Richard! Valuable info!

When Kent is on vacation, usually Sean takes over for a while...

Maybe they're both on holiday.
Together.
With Sean's mankini.

I'm suffering withdrawal symtoms! I've nothing to read while eating my breakfast! ![Frown | :(](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/smiley_frown.gif)

Me too. I am addicted to Insider news and especially to its hilarious comments.
Sorry for my bad English

Maybe we should compliment these guys more. It is what gets me started in the morning. Now I just get started in the afternoon. Can't explain it to my boss properly...
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, it is part of my Morning routine with my first cup of coffee.
I just hope everything is OK with Our Code Project Staff

Thank you all very much for the kind words. They're more than I deserve. (and here's a coffee for your morning: )

First thing I do each morning (after pouring a cup of coffee) is to clear my emails then read the CP daily. I very much appreciate having something to get me ready for the remainder of my day.

Were worried about you... you've been more reliable than AWS about getting the Daily Insider to everyone!
|
|
|
|
|
Same. Twitching is becoming serious. Must get Daily Insider soon or brain damage may be the next symptom.
|
|
|
|

Fortunately I haven't deleted any of the posts. I have hundreds of them since the beginning of 2023. I probably have forgotten most of them.
pibbuR who still suffers from withdrawal symptoms
PS. The comments are hilarious. DS

|
|
Likewise - I even went and checked all my email settings.
|
|
|
|
|
Any news on this? I'm still not receiving.
|
|
|
|

I would guess the admin(s) responsible for the Daily Insider News are are holiday...
