When you confirm "this is spam" by clicking the bin, it appears to start a post-back / reload cycle - but it never completes, or eventually throws up the "Abort Retry Fail" page[^]
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

It just took a while but finished then.
I guess we were on the same messages.

It takes a lot of time, but finishes without error - I was able to gain 4 rep-points by hitting the bin again and again
See my post below (two of them)...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

There is again some SPAM on the Q&A forum.
How about
1) not allow to create more than one CP account per IP address and day?
2) not allow more than 5 different posts (i.e. questions) per user and day?
Cheers

(1) is a problem: all members of a company will often share a single IP address, and changing your IP address is pretty simple - at home all you have to do is turn the ADSL router off and back on again!

I aim for making the system behaving sluggish for repeated (similar) actions while "normal" behavior is not affected.
E.g. one user asking *many* questions a day is questionable
Creating many accounts from one site in one day is questionable too - how to detect that?
Any other suggestion how achieve this?
Cheers

Great idea! I'd modify that this way:
Disallow single user to post more than one message if its content is the same (removing leading and ending spaces).

You could do fancy things to get a correlation function for two messages, e.g. leave away all non-alpha-num chars and do the histogram (kind of finger-print of a message). If another message is similar (not exactly the same), you get notified that a similar message already exists...
But I think to start with, restricting the number of questions per time interval (day?) is good enough to fool spammers.
Thinking about it, it's a lost game: one might then move on to use "Reply" for spamming, etc. Restricting the number of comments per time interval is not feasible... .

My suggestion is,
Question must be approved by minimum 3 or 5 Members like Approving Articles/Tips,etc.
if the Question got approved then visible in QA queue else don't .

A question is a bit different to an article/tip: with an article/tip, you can ask for a certain form and level of content. With questions, what are the generally accepted criterion to pass the filter? Spam falls through, of course (but still may fill up the input queue). What about homework assignments, "Google is your friend" kind of questions (the lazy ones), etc.? The ratio of articles versus questions is probably in the range 1/10 to 1/100: who is willing to assess that amount of questions on a regular base?

It sounds like "approve-system". I think it's impossible to move attention to all posted messages, questions.

I have a Group .but why?

Oh, you're talking about your profile page(Group profile).
I think you're doing it wrong. Yes, see below.
CP Group is similar to Groups of Virtual communities like Social networks. You could create a separate place for your people based on criteria(like technology, oganization, country or something else).
I'll give you a real example. Apriorit Inc[^] is one of the most famous CP groups. That's an organisation & 31 members contributed their works here by using a Group(You have an option to include co-authors for your articles while submitting. They did the same. So the group profile displays aggregated sum(61) of all 31 members articles). So far they have posted 61 articles here during last 6 years. That's really a very big contribution. And they won bunch of awards too. See their profile page for more details.
And check this CodeProject Member FAQ[^] page for more info.
Your group name reminds me of only two things. Vijay Mallya &

... can you keep the "improve question ... " visible after the question is marked as spam or better still make it permanently visible on mouse over so we can see the action was done correctly and not have to mouse over it again.
