There was a functionality that if you get any spam 'message' and report it as spam,the Member gets banned right away. That functionality has stopped since last 3-4 days.

I suspect it was removed because the spam filter was picking up too many false positives and legitimate members were getting nuked - no questions asked.

Sorry - but we had too many itchy triggers nuking member accounts.
Closing an account can be extremely painful to a member. It needs to be done with care.

I have to agree with this. Even if you don't have an itchy trigger, it is pretty easy to hit the wrong icon by mistake.
On the other hand, it was nice to have during spam attacks.

Once again my new article about "LeMP" didn't show up in the weekly newsletter... so I waited for the next newsletter and it didn't appear there either. And it isn't in yesterday's either. Could someone comment on why it might not have appeared? I'm about to post a new article that I worked really hard on. Hope it will appear in the newsletter next week...

It was definitely in the newsletter[^]

Whoa! Okay, this is so weird. It wasn't in the newsletter I received. My newsletter has three items in the C# section under "New Articles":
Queue Processor
(13 votes) by Damijan Vodopivec (updated 6 days ago)
Word Automation using OpenXML and C# without Word Interop
(10 votes) by koolprasad2003 (updated 4 days ago)
Sometimes, we overlook the simplest things

The same section in the online version you linked too also has 3 items, with one difference:
Queue Processor
(13 votes) by Damijan Vodopivec (updated 6 days ago)
Word Automation using OpenXML and C# without Word Interop
(9 votes) by koolprasad2003 (updated 3 days ago)

So I'm looking at my newsletter settings and I see that I somehow have ".NETCF" but not ".NET" under "Newsletter topics". Anyway I think C# was on the list, and my article is tagged with C#. I don't remember ever choosing this list of topics (which only had three items), but perhaps I did choose it, like, 7 years ago. This doesn't really explain how my version and the online version both have three items, though. Shouldn't the online version have strictly more?
If the tags are filtering out things in my newsletter, I suggest saying something like "your copy of the newsletter has been filtered" at the top of the newsletter, with a list of the newsletter topics (at least, the ones that match the articles in the current newsletter) and a link to change the newsletter options. It looks like I am missing out on some "general" articles that are not specific to any programming language, but "no specific language, platform or technology" isn't one of the available tags. Well, I guess it's pretty rare for an article not to at least tag a particular programming language though... but you know, some language tags are missing, e.g. there is no language tag offered for D, Rust, Typescript, or Dart, let alone lesser-known languages like Ceylon.

We used to have a notice at the top of newsletters regarding the filtering you were doing. I'll look to add that back.
With regards to tags, anyone with a certain rep can add tags, and we add tags when we get content sent in with new tags.

I still think my article was not included in most recipients' newsletter, because almost all of the 3000 page views happened before the Newsletter was sent out. I did receive 3 articles in the C# category, just not my own for some reason.

I spotted this on this post: stored procedure cannot loop an array of string[^]
The post has two tags MySQL, exactly the same, and when I click on the links I saw that they have different IDs.
Can they please be merged?

I just posted a comment to another post here:
http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/5075644/Re-Impossible-to-write-a-UserTextFrame.aspx[^]
I added C# tags around the code snippet, but somehow, when it was posted, and unwanted start-pre tag appeared in the middle of the code (which was not in the text), and the end-pre tag was also visible...

I 'fixed' it. It had markdown formatting enabled, so I changed from <pre ...> to ```c# ... ```

Do we really need to be referred to articles that contain phrases such as "badass motherfucking sorcerer-hacker wizard-god" or "interviews in the Valley have truly gotten f***ing awful"?
I was in the US Coast Guard. We didn't hesitate to use coarse language amongst ourselves. But its use was with other Coast Guardsmen, not the general public.
I doubt strongly that articles containing this language would be published in any reputable publication: in a peer reviewed publication or in a newspaper or in a book. I also doubt that these phrases could be used in a business meeting without reprimand.
I'm in no way a prude. But this use of language was for shock purposes only. It added nothing to the value of the article. As a matter of fact, I stopped reading when I came across the phrases.
I find the Code Project Insider useful in that it presents me with articles that are useful. Mostly, I read for entertainment. Sometimes for their newsworthiness. But if this trend continues, I fear that I will cancel my subscription to the Code Project Insider and read more carefully the BBC articles on Tech and Science.

We've had a couple of comments about sites that use profanity and we have been trying to choose those sites that are a little less blue. We'll notch up the filter one more step.

I'm with you. When I come across a site that uses over-the-top profanity as an attempt at humor, I close the tab.

Can somebody please roll back my abuse report on this[^] profile? My report was based on this[^], but now that the tip itself got approved, I think the report needs to be removed too.
Apologies for the inconvenience.

Can it be a change of vote ?
CodeProject keep track of who voted and don't give points again when voting again or changing the vote.
