As far as I'm concerned, some people should be stripped of the right to report.

I'm also on the fence here: doubling the time to close an account is a PITA because it at least doubles the time it takes so kick the Love Guru back to where he belongs...
Perhaps what we need is a graduated Kick? Similar to the graduated effect of an up or down vote?

Is this the same as the term 'Weight' used here[^]?

No, no, no.
"Weight" is the right word...

 Alright. Then you have to decide which category you will determine the Weight from. It seems obvious to do that based on the Organiser level, but there are a lot of Platinum Organisers out there.
I was looking at the Privileges tab. It does not show what it takes to be able to report a member profile, but if it follows the "Report a forum message" privilege, perhaps simply raising the Debator level needed could alleviate some of these cases.

Unfortunately that means it is more difficult to remove the real spammers. Could we not have weighted voting on the spam button?
|
|
|
|
|
Not even more difficult but it may also let accounts of article spammers stay active. When a spam article has been rejected the member account is not visible anymore if the article has not been reported in the Spam and Abuse Watch forum.

Weighted voting will actually make the issue worse.

Chris, another idea is to just block a person from that forum for a few months. If s/he spams 2 or 3 forums and gets blocked from there too, then you deactivate his account.

Spammers use throw away accounts. Banning simply isn't effective.

Hi,
Although I am already quite some time on codeproject, this is my first time that I entered a workspace. I was in this workspace and I pressed the 'get ZIP'. Then I entered into my codeproject settings, I saved my settings over and over, but I keep returning to the settings, and thus I am not able to download.
Am I doing something wrong? Can you help me?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Paul

If you need the code urgently, you can also just pull a copy from the Git Repository[^].
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

Indeed, this might be the situation if you are not logged in into ::Workspaces. It is a bug on our side, we will fix it.
In meantime, what I can offer is a workaround: visit workspaces.codeproject.com directly, sign in there. Once you are signed in to ::Workspaces and visit the mentioned workspace 'Get ZIP' should work fine. Sorry for inconvenience.

The fix is deployed, it should work better now.

In this thread I can't see the message of Mike. When clicking on the title it opens nothing...

I looked into the HTML and saw that the row with _h1 suffix completely missing...

Unfortunately not - it got fixed some way...
However - just for the fun, this is the HTML I have now:
<tr id="F4782948_h0" class="header hover-row root selected">...</tr>
<tr id="F4782948_h1" class="content root selected" style="">...</tr>
While I still had the problem the second row just wasn't there...

Drunk hamsters.
It's the only logical explanation.

See my new post...I think this time it's not related to the hamsters...

It's funny - between my previous post and this I moved from my office to home. At home I do not see the body. As the only different between the two setups is the ISP I believe it's some ISP problem (at home I have an ISP doing some content filtering for kids - I use for my children). Interesting what triggered that filtering in that particular post... I will try to clarify with them. You may close this as a no-bug...
