The plug has been pulled.
We'll have a word to it. A few words, actually.

Is the fix also applied on RootAdmin? I posted a message in Bugs & Suggestions there (that didn't seem to contain anything spammy), but it didn't get through.

How can anyone know an article/tip/trick has the code updated if no tag is appended to the title? I have my post in this situation.
SUGGESTION: add a tag CODE UPDATED whenever the code is updated or included for the first time.
|
|
|
|
|
The Updated date on an article (appears underneath the title) will reflect the date the article was last updated.

What I mean is not an update of the article text, but just the code in the zipped solution/project that appears at the top.
Take for instance, my article, sorry, Tip/Trick MFC PowerShells Easily: Encrypt and Decrypt. I posted a solution/project saturday (02/28/2015), officially updated today (02/02/2015), but it appears as posted 3 days ago (without mentioning any alteration).
That's an example, where I think it'd be informative the tag CODE UPDATED (or something equivalent), starting the day it was officially updated, of course.

I posted an asnwer in the Article Writing forum, and a few moments later I found this line in rep history:
Quote: 2 Mar 2015 9:32am -10 Authority Post a Programming Forum Answer (undo) Forum Message Re: Spam or not?
But there is no trace of the corresponding +10 authority, nor the questino or my answer have been deleted.
It already happened to me several weeks ago while there were problem with delay in posting on forum, I guess it is some kind of bug.

There seems to be a major problem with the site today, and I suspect this is tied in with all messages going to the moderation queue (which is where this one is going in a moment).
|
|
|
|

It seems that I cannot post a message, at least in Spam & Abuse Watch forum, without being instantly flagged as spammer.
OriginalGriff had to pop my post out of the moderation queue. And my answer to him seems to have been moderated, also.
On my reputation page, there a 2 entries corresponding to both messages that have been moderated:
-1 Debator Post a General Forum Message (undo)

I'm building a personal professional site. Stuff around me from a technical stand.
For this I've got a WordPress blog. A created a page that gets the RSS feed of that blog, and gets the RSS feed of CodeProject and combines them.
I used the link from my profile. But every now and then, I seem to get random content.
Is this by design.

Define "random content"? If you let me know what you expect to see and what you do see I can dig in.

If I just CTRL+F5 this WebServices/ArticleRSS.aspx?amid=604769[^] feed, which should show my articles every now and then say 1 in 20, posts of other authors appear.
I don't know how to be more specific.

I just deleted a message in the C# forum (it was down-voted, and upon reflection, I decided that what I wrote was wrong) - 'Threads vs. Tasks'. Given that the site records postings, up-votes, and down-votes, should the reputation points accrue / debited not be "undone?"
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Give it some hours and check again, it could be a caching issue.

Still no change.
Removing a bookmark does reverse the accrued points. It appears that deleting a message does not. Bug? Feature?

With some very limited experimenting it would seem like that removing a message that have had some subsequent action happening to it such as a response or a vote will only exchange the subject and message for a standard text.
I could be wrong though.

I've just checked - the message has disappeared, but my points have not been modified (at least - nothing appears in the reputation events log).
The thread is in the C# forum, 'Threads vs. Tasks Article', started on 18-Feb-2015 at 7:03. I deleted my message a few minutes before the start of this thread.

Add a way for CP members to endorse each other in terms of skill-set/ability. Weighted reputation points would be earned for each endorsement (like article voting is weighted by reputation of voter). Allow the voter to leave a short comment regarding his/her vote. Other users should be able see who you endorse, and who endorses you. It might be useful to see the date of the endorsement as well.

I can't see this one, John. I think the reputation system now reflects "endorsement" of the only meaningful kind we can possibly do given the fact that for most of use face-to-face verified knowledge of other people's skill-sets, outside the technical, is limited to the few members, on average, that most members know "personally."
I might be able to have a fairly objective view of someone's depth, and knowledge, and achievements, in writing code, but how could I know how that might "map" to other aspects of their character, behavior, ability to work in a team, etc., etc.
Yes, I think the rep-system here is flawed, and can-be- and is- gamed, by some, but, so is every other rep system anywhere in the netiverse
But, yeah I would hire you to organize getting my Mustang hot-rodded, if I had one.
cheers, Bill
«I'm asked why doesn't C# implement feature X all the time. The answer's always the same: because no one ever designed, specified, implemented, tested, documented, shipped that feature. All six of those things are necessary to make a feature happen. They all cost huge amounts of time, effort and money.» Eric Lippert, Microsoft, 2009

It was just an idea to get more people involved with the site.
