Definitely spam. The question has been nuked.

I would do it with the question, but in the case of spam the account should be disabled.
Chris usually does that in such cases.

Thank you Sean. I see the account is disabled — exactly what I expected.
I just wonder: do the offender receive e-mail notification on that action and motivation of it?
I'm not sure what's my preference, just asking.

Users with disabled accounts will see a notification when they attempt to log in that reads, "your account was disabled. please contact the administrator [webmaster address]."
Most of the time they don't. Bad spammers know what they did on the carpet. Naughty.

You can delete the question and the team can still delete the account. That way, the question can be removed without having to wait for the team to be up and about. This is one of the reasons that higher rep members have the power to delete questions, to help the team.

There is also a "report member" link on member pages you can use to report members. Not sure if it's automated, but if enough people click that, then the account will be disabled.

Chris recently reversed one account that was disabled that way, so I assume it's an automated system.
3x12=36
2x12=24
1x12=12
0x12=18

It's automated, and Chris has a soft spot for that particular member (it's between his ears in that particular case).

Well you know my theory[^] behind it.
3x12=36
2x12=24
1x12=12
0x12=18

I posted a message in C# as a general message, then I edited it to change it to an answer. I don't think I got reputation points for this answer. That's problem #1
I then posted a test answer in the C# forum and got reputation points for it. I then deleted that test answer, and the reputation points were taken away. Only, the reputation history shows the events in the wrong order:
17 May 2011 12:36 PM Post a Programming Forum Answer Authority Forum Message 10
17 May 2011 12:36 PM Post a Programming Forum Answer (undo) Authority Forum Message -10
It shows the undo followed by the action. That's problem #2.

I'll add #1 to the bug list, but #2 occurs because we store date/times as smalldatetime, which stores to the minute, not the second. Further, we don't use a secondary sort (eg ORDER BY DatePosted, RepHistoryID because it's so uncommon for there to be two rep events in the same minute that need to be careful about ordering that it's not worth burdening the DB server with the extra (and hence unindexed) sort.
Even so, I'll do some testing to see if that secondary order affects load appreciably.

You've got it all wrong. You're supposed to take a bite out of crime, not a byte out of time.

the last hour, 50% of the forum pages don't have the forum list in the nav pane, the very first thing shown is "Forums" and "Bold indicates new messages since..." If a time-out is used to get the forum list, maybe doubling the time alloted would be good.

I've just checked every server individually and they are all showing the side nav

I also have similar problem, for 1 on 5 clicks approximate.

Which server is showing the issue? (see the very bottom left of the page for a server name).
I've just checked again on multiple forums and they are obstinately refusing to not work.

if the server name/number were visible near the top of the page, you would have gotten and continue to get it in my every message in sugs&bugs, however I'm not going to scroll to the bottom on every page I browse. Smack in the middle of the top line would be great.

That's fine Luc. I'm not going to add, top and centre, a piece of debug information that is useful to a few out of many millions of users and will be confusing to everyone else. DavidAuld has kindly taken the time to scroll down those pixels and help out.
