I'm wondering if the Q&A would benefit from a "Vote to Remove Answer" button on answers that would only be available to members of a specified level, so that if 3 or so of these members agree that an answer is completely innappropriate there would be a way to remove them completely as opposed to just 1-voting those answers. (ie. Experienced, active members in the Q&A)

People with the appropriate reputation level can already delete answers, and answers get deleted regularly.

I do, but only my own answers. I only see the flag on others' answers.

I'm glad the system is in place. I'm just wondering if anyone would consider removing duplicate answers that are blatantly added after the first. It seems that many members are simply doing this to either garner rep-points or because they are simply too lazy to read the answers that are already there first. Either way, I think the integrity of the Q&A's would go up if this were to be done. (I know it's easy to make the suggestion and that implementation is a whole different ball of wax)

I reported a plagiarized article just a minute ago, but it immediately disappeared from the approval list. Backtracking to the URL showed it as approved, with all the comments removed (including mine), but now it is back[^]. Am I hallucinating?

One you report an article it disappears from the approval list. Good catch by the way!

I would prefer to think he was halucinating, it's more fun

I see! That explains it. I still haven't got the hang of this...
BTW, I figured out why the comments disappeared - I was looking at an older revision.

I am editing a question and I am told that I can't add new tags. I have to choose from existing list.
Do I not have sufficient points/privileges to do this? Are we no longer abel to add new tags?

It is lying to you!
Try Ctrl F5 and have another go.

No It isn't depends on privileges.
You must choose it among of list provided.
But apart of that I have noticed that some time it accepts custom Tags and some time it strictly prohibits for adding custom tags, It is something what I think is BUG.

Ah I didn't see where he stood in the reputation hierarchy, but if that's the case then he should be able to do it.

It could be a cache issue, or it could be a bug (almost but not quite the same thing). I've added it to our bug list in any case.

I think there should be some kind of message in bold on the Q&A pages saying something along the lines of "Please do not post questions here that are aimed at certain article authors". The reason I suggest this is that there has been a lot of questions in the past that seem to be asking someone about their article, but don't actually mention what article they are talking about.
This is the most recent one:

Yeah I have seen a couple of them recently.
I have to explain to them that it is unlikely that the Author is going to see it.

The stupid thing is, is that when viewing an article and you move the mouse over the Q&A menu in a yellow box it even says: "Ask a question about this article".
