Lots of spammers actually post multiple message. However, let's err on the side of caution for the moment.

I had to re-set my Forum views to Threaded, turn off e-mail notifications.
And, really, come on ... we all know the Lounge is, by design, indigestible, although I couldn't pretend to have a life without it

«I'm asked why doesn't C# implement feature X all the time. The answer's always the same: because no one ever designed, specified, implemented, tested, documented, shipped that feature. All six of those things are necessary to make a feature happen. They all cost huge amounts of time, effort and money.» Eric Lippert, Microsoft, 2009

We're still trying to work though this issue. It seems to be a database load spike issue. We'll be on new hardware in 10 days so hopefully that will reduce the symptoms.

The "Message Moderation" currently has four posts, from a total of two users (yes, two posts from each). The link to the user's profile is correct for two of them (one for each of the two users), but the other other two look like this:

I sure hope I am not reporting myself as a spammer

So it's a wormhole. Now the question is: am I really seeing myself or it is myself seeing me? And does the myself I'm seeing represent me? Who's the evil one? I guess we'll never know!

Something similar is happening in several fields.
I.e. If you use the link of the articles' list of a nuked user, that will point to your own list
AFAIK it happens in Links pointing to user items using friendly names (excluding the member URL itself)

Perhaps posting rules could be more helpful it they included some warning against spamming. Of course, it could not affect real spammers. But we recently discussed a question post which resembled spam disguised for question, resembled it very much: it was very little beyond the link to an online shop, nothing related to programming. But OP's comments to the answer suggested that this person really wanted to develop similar site.
Not the best way of asking questions, for sure, but the adverse effect of spamming is still there, even if there was no a bad intention.

I'd rather keep the rules simple to maximise the chance of them being read.
Telling someone not to spam is like warning people against shop-lifting. Those who do it already know it's wrong.

Well, it's a good point. (Even though I didn't mean to say not to spam. It's funny that you mentioned shop-lifting, by the way: I can see shop-lifting warning in many stores, believe or not.  )

I know. They always amuse me.
(and they do actually work, unfortunately. My argument is actually not particularly water-right )

Chris or a moderator or someone with the power to tell me which email is set to code-frog. I'd like to get back into my account. I've been trying through the years and it always fails. I just reset my account password using the email I thought was mine and it prompted me to create a new account. But I want my account that's got all the articles and stuff.
Can someone give me a hand? Chris knows me quite well and can authenticate I am who I say I am and I can even prove it.
Help! I tried getting support through the site but I never get responses. So I'm hoping this will work.
Thanks,
Rex

Oh. That's a fun question. You know how they turned The Lord of the Rings into 3 movies for 3 books and they turned The Hobbit into 3 movies for 1 book?
With Katie we got 3 movies for 1 book. We still have a lot going on there but it's getting kind of complicated. They told us there would be some developmental challenges from her not having human contact for 6 weeks after being born and there are. We still definitely have some nutritional challenges.
It kind of feels like a Gordian Knot but we are missing Alexander the Great. There's a lot to go into there. Plus I have some challenges of my own that I've had to deal with.
Life hasn't been easy but it's been good. How about life with you? How about life with a lot of you? Is Paul still around? Are some of the men/women of might and myth still around? If so how are all of you doing?

The wife and I put both kids though college over the last years with one continuing on through law school. She's an Assistant State's Attorney now. My son is a software developer. My lovely bride had a brush with cancer, but all appears good now. I've worked my ass off and am now trying to enjoy some of the fruits of labor.

They have to answer for themselves.

Hey, just transfer the email address of this account to code-frog and if you can do the password to then do it. Otherwise I'll just click reset password for that email and I should be good to go then right? You might have emailed me back. The problem is that I'm not sure what email I was using. I've had some brain trauma from gluten going on I didn't know about. Gluten Ataxia has almost taken me off-line permanently. Starting to learn more about it but it's been a real and thorough beating.
