Of course, hence the reason to check if the user is a repeat offender.

You've been here over 9½ years, and posted over 1300 messages. If just 10 of those messages were deemed "inappropriate", do you think your account should automatically be closed?

I see your point. Only that this morning a spammer posted 6 spam articles and I could report their account once, which probably allowed them time to spam more of those articles.

To nuke an account you need 10 users.
If you had reported 6 articles, even when linking the account as you suggest, it would have still counted as only 1 user report.
Doing it in another way, would allow a user account nuke by only one reporter... that's really dangerous.
No real advantages, a lot of potential problems.

We have had automated spam waves, they posted several hundred messages pro minute. But only one or two messages pro spam account. Your suggestion would have brought nothing in that case.
In the case of this morning (we have some cases from time to time), it is still not a "serious issue", we are a big group in the S&A. Yeah, it gives a bit more time to post some spammy articles more, but it will not last a lot until they are gone.
I repeat myself: No real profit, a lot of headaches.

Search for articles:
Pasting a query name to the Textbox under "Saved Queries" and click on 'Save' has no effect.
If you come back to the search page the textbox under "Saved Queries" is empty.
Perhaps this is an early 1st April Joke?

Well it seems my hint about a joke was misunderstood.
The problem "If you come back to the search page the textbox under "Saved Queries" is empty" is really happening.

I used to be able to upvote comments. I don't seem to have that ability anymore. To be fair, it's been years since I've actively participated on this site due to the nature of my work.

I'm getting pretty frustrated since this keeps happening. Sometimes it rights itself, but now it's not.

Make this available please (Edit: I think it's up? Just not under just published yet - can you please confirm), and please please please fix whatever is causing it so I can't publish anymore.

Thanks so much. I found it might actually be making it available, it might be a false message. I am not 100% sure though.

It's probably a caching error.
One of the two great programming problems
1. cache invalidation
2. naming
3. one-off errors

maybe, but i don't know how to solve it. I mean, I suppose i could hit Ctrl-F5 on the page my article is open on but that is really sketchy if it's not posting it, you know?

It looks like one of the servers was in the middle of a Windows update or other traumatising experience. Things seem to have settled down. Sorry about that.

Thanks. It's happened the last couple times I tried to publish at least or I would have written it off as a fluke. Maybe I'm just unlucky.

What happened was that the file was not "clean" and the antivirus was removing it from downloading. I have deleted this file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is me just guessing here, but perhaps the downgrade in cp service you suggest in the title of this post is due to the fact that the source code to the article/tiptrick is not available for download.
|
|
|
|
|
You are right. The downloads were not working because there was a folder, a numbered folder, in the link and I suppose it should had been removed at some moment. Thank you for warning.

Looking at the Lounge page, on the left hand side it shows me "* indicates new messages since 10 Mar 13:40". Looking at the clock, it's only 12:40. I'm assuming this is just a DST awareness issue?
