A problem with this is that if a message contains links as part of a code dump then we are stopping someone from legitimately posting a question. That's bad. We could limit URLs to PRE blocks only, but enough spammers have included their entire message in a PRE block to make the process a little pointless.
This one needs to go back to the drawing board.

Ok, how about scrubbing the link before posting, something like:
User attempts to post a question with a link.
System notices a link, scrubs it, then presents it back to the user saying "all links have been scrubbed, please verify before posting".
Insert a placeholder where link was scrubbed, like "link-removed"
User posts with scrubbed link.
That would be able to work inside and outside of pre-tags, most posts with links in pre tags don't access anything the responder would be interested in clicking anyway (usually local network links).

Not sure what you mean: User posts, system replaces links with placeholder and then invites user to repost with links put back in place?
Spammers are often humans. This won't actually stop them.

No...
User creates a post with a link. User hits submit.
Page notices the post contains a link. It replaces the link with "link-removed" and then before posting it, it displays a warning to the user that links are not allowed and have been removed.
If the user is OK with it, they hit post. Since links have been removed and replaced with "link-removed", the page posts. If the user puts the link back in, the page shouldn't allow it to post until the links are removed.
The user shouldn't be able to post any links until they get that privilege. This can remove links inside pre tags, usually when a user posts a link in a QA its to a local site or somewhere that people aren't interested in clicking anyway.

USers may need to post links - or at least URLS - when they are doing things like posting code snippets that are XML and contain schema URLs, or HTML snippets that contain javascript or CSS file includes.

Someone voted a 3 in one of my answer today in QA.And guess what, surprisingly found that was a down-vote. So probably CP adds this new feature and don't like anything neutral, either excellent or worst.
But i think that is not very fair, vote 3 shouldn't count as a dowvote as it was earlier, at least something needs to exist btn very good and very bad,

Send me a link to the answer, please. A vote of 3 is specifically meant to be neutral, a non-event.

I want when any buddy goes to Answer Down voting, it must be write a Reason of answer down voting. must validation apply.

Just accept that sometimes you get downvoted for no reason, and move on. This has been requested and rejected many times already.

this is a wrong way, ok sir.

Right or wrong, that's the way it is: live with it. And don't waste time worrying about it, overall you are likely to gain far more than you lose.

Points are not tradeable to money or physical things, you can not put them in your CV, they are just a "game" in a website. If your participation in CP is depending on the points you win... ejem... I better don't finish the sentence.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I use Safari on MacOSX，when clicked the "Latest Articles > [sub category]" on CodeProject home page, the drop down menu opened, but then I want click the other category links, the menu hide immediately, I must move the mouse cursor very fast.
I think it's a bug.

On Safari 7 on MacOS 10.9 I can't replicate this issue.

When I pressed this link:
http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4720479/Re-null-Considered-Harmful.aspx in an email to reply to a message, I was taken to a blank Insider News page (i.e. no messages in list).

"View thread" Link doesn't seems to be appear under each post at Lounge, seems working fine at GIT.
Just my 2 cents.

CTRL + F5, gone now. or this is you who did it quickly ?

The file names show up:
circular.zip
circular/
cyclic.f
machine.f
median.f
rgauss.f
ssort.f
t_ave.f
But nothing happens when you click. Any ideas what's happening?
|
|
|
|
|
There wont be any handler set up yet for '.f' file types.
I had this with '.pde' file which were text based 'C' file used by the Arduino IDE. Chris simply added a handler and all was good in the world again.

Let me add a FORTRAN handler. Should be good in a few hours.

Thanks for all your help.

Why were this message[^] and the one above it removed?

Was there a hint of anything offensive/abusive/spammy in them? There are many a trigger happy folks in the lounge ready to hit the report.
