The sticky message on Spam and Abuse forum is:
"The spam and abuse forum is a place to report content that may have slipped past other members. To have content removed, multiple members need to report a piece of content (or a member's account) and so if you find something abusive, or that is spam, hidden in a seldom visited corner of the site you can report it here so others can review and report (and hence close) if necessary."
I think it would be worth bolding the parts I did above and also making the sticky note default to expanded so people will notice it more. For example, QA spam that is obvious (live streaming ones) I see get reported here all the time. However, because people are in QA it does not last long. So often when I come to spam and abuse forum the offending issue is already gone. I like the idea of keeping this forum as the description says.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I see your point, but you forget one thing:
- Nuke QA Message = 3 Reports
- Nuke User Account = 12 Reports
And not all offending items deserve a report to the account, or all users report both offending item and offender account (so it is not sure that the counters remains equal).
That is the reason (at least is my reason) for posting the "obvious ones" as well. So that the offender can be reported too. If not... then in the moment the offending item is gone, the offender would remain as long as he/she doesn't post more offending items to be found by other people (reports must come from different users to add +1 to the counter)

I don't see why people wouldn't also report the user after they report the message.

I get your point but I doubt bolding will change anything. People see things abuse that hasn't yet been closed, the report it, it gets closed, and then others come along and see it's already closed.

There is a spell checker in all forums at least in the Lounge there is but I noticed the spell checker is not available in the ask Questions page subject line. Please add this feature to this page as its important to spell check in questions section.

The browser adds this, we don't

I Seriously believe that should happen...It makes everyone writes more good articles and also encourage all.

I'm not sure that an MVPship should be the motivation for writing articles. Sharing knowledge, now that's a good motivation.

I agree to you Pete 
Sharind make feel good.
But recognition create more excitement. One year is a big period..People write in the beginning and may stop doing it after certain time. But when they see that they are getting recognized they may get inspired to do more.
I really appreciate and felt good when you said "Sharing knowledge, now that's a good motivation."
People should not consider how much point they get (because these awards and all are based on points) rather on quality of writing. And i think reducing 1 year period to 6 month may help.
Let say for an instance, Some one is writing for a year and someone he didnt win MVP for that year. He may get demotivated by that and stop doing it further because he have to wait for one more year more. But reducing time period make him feel "Next chance is not too far".

Everyone doesn't write article just to win MVP status. And further, its not necessary that you win MVP status only if you write Articles. Code project is meant for a single thing-HELP,thats it. Help everyone and you will definitely be recognized.

There are monthly competitions for best article awards which recognise quality. They should be more than adequate for people who only wish to write articles.

We've no plans to cut the term of the MVP award to 6 months. It's an annual thing.

MVP does not only depends on the article writing.
Answers in forums and QA and other reputation events give points as well.
If something, then it should be a different cathegory, i.e. MRAW (Most recognized article writer) or something similar.
Although I don't thing such new changes are actually necessary

Either i'm very stupid, or the workspaces login is acting up.
Is there anything i've forgotten? I'm using my registered email-address as username and my account password... but it's not working at all.
EDIT: url and all should be correct!

What error are you seeing?

I've checked the logs, indeed I saw multiple attempts to login into your account, in each of them our user management module said: 'wrong credentials', most likely meaning that the password was not matching the email.
Email was correct and existing in our systems, so it must have been the password.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, it was the password. I just reset the password and changed it, now it's working as expected. Thanks

While I'm busy reporting narcicistic bugs, here is another:
In the Who is Who, I've been on page 5[^] for a while...
And according to my rep, I SHOULD be between Shog9 and Al-Farooque Shubho (and that's where I was the last time I looked).
But now I seem to have disappeared?!?!?!? 
Also, on the same page, between everything else, you can find Member 10470915 with a rep of 0 points...

By article count (the default sort) you're on Page 27.

True, but I'm 99% sure I had the "Reputation" sort on. When I look now (without changing anything - including the sorting), everything looks normal again... Guess it was a 24 hour bug! 
(but Member 10470915 with 0 rep point still show up amongst the rest of us on page 5 - with Reputation sorting on, so that bug remains)
