I found this a few minutes ago after pasting a quote into an insider reply. The quoted text has several leading spaces resulting in an blockquote from markup. THis combines with the blockquote tags created when I pasted it to create this mess (which can be fixed by deleting the leading spaces before "After" to remove the nested quote:
Quote: Quote: In a statement to BetaNews, a Microsoft spokesperson said:
After the launch of Windows 10 and in preparation for continued flighting of PC builds to Windows Insiders, we have taken the opportunity to clear out the older feedback that we received early on in our product development cycle from the search results that get returned within the Windows Feedback app. </blockquote>
This is more of my text and should be outside the quote.
This is my signature. It shouldn't be part of the quote either:
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

That's Markdown for you. It'd tailored for coders and thinks blockquotes should be naturally prefixed by ">" and code should be indented, whereas the rest of the world would probably prefer to see blockquotes happen on indented blocks of text, and code... well, code would happen in someone else's life.
For this stuff either uncheck "Use Markdown formatting" or replace the indents with ">"s.

With a bit more blood in my caffeine stream, it looks like injecting a newline before the </blockquote> tag is probably a better fix; markdown deciding that the quoted quote was code not text not withstanding using a different style for it makes it more clearly differentiated than changing the pasted indent to a > or manually nesting blockquotes. Longer term; how hard would making the auto blockquote wrapper smart enough not to fail this way be.

Do you mean not converting indented text into a code block if it's inside a blockquote?
It's doing what it's meant to be doing: this is part of the markdown "spec" (I say that loosely).

No, I mean on paste handler seeing that the last line of the text being pasted is indented, and in that case putting the closing blockquote tag on a seperate line to avoid conflicting with the markdown formatter.
eg automatically creating this:
Quote: normal text
happy properly formatted text with a closing blockquote tag on the next line of the editor
not this:
Quote: normal text
sad misformatted text with a closing blockquote tag on the same line of the editor</blockquote>

Currently a question is closed as soon as enough reports are recorded for the specific question. This means that an unclear question may live a very short time so the poster of the question may have no time to enhance or explain the question.
What if instead of immediate close the reports would cause a countdown (for appropriate amount of time). For example if the question isn't enhanced in an hour after reported as unclear, it would be closed. This would leave time to react to the reports and possible questions.
Of course this would introduce a question: What is considered as enhancing the question? But if the question is modified and still reported it could be considered as not-enhanced...

I like the idea, but the question is... how many time is "enough" time?
I can post something and wait a while, ok no answers, no feedback... I will check tomorrow... Ups... where is my question?
On the other hand... then the reports must be selective, that should only apply to "unclear/incomplete" or to "not a question", all other options should remain as they are. Specially spam/abusive.
M.D.V. 
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.

Probably it would be best if an email would be sent when the countdown starts...
Perhaps something like:
- post an unclear question
- 5 reports (unclear / incomplete) => countdown starts
- email is sent to OP explaining that the question will be closed if no explanations ar added
- when the countdown is finished the question is closed
- OR the question is modified and we're back in the beginning...
I agree that spam/abusive should be as-is

I agree on the whole. It's incredibly annoying to find a question has been closed after I've asked the OP to add extra detail but they haven't been given a chance to provide it.
Time zones could complicate matters on "appropriate amount of time" though ... OP could post a question, not many people about, goes to bed; other-timezone-guys spot the question and start reporting it as unclear - OP has no idea.
However, the email suggested by Mika could prompt them to post a new question (perhaps with a copy of the posting guidelines  )

Dear Moderator,
I am in a great shock to see that my account has been deactivated, my member id : 8787781.
It says "The member is being abusive or is a troll 10 times and is now deactivated."
I truly believe I have not done anything abusive. If you find any unusual activity or anything that don't goes with your terms of codeproject would you mind to put a suggestion for me (here in this thread) that needs to be done from my end to re-activate my id.
Please check and consider my id to bring back in the activate state.
Waiting for your feedback.
Thanks.

I'm trying to input my LinkedIn ID to my CP Profile.
I've found two things on LinkedIn that appear to be my ID but neither works.
My own view of the LinkedIn profile shows:
https://www.linkedin.com/pub/matt-heffron/1/745/651
but using the number as shown, or just as 7 digits, in the URL prototype that is on the CP edit profile page:
http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=1745651
does not appear to be a working link to me on LinkedIn.
The URL for the LinkedIn profile (when I view it) is:
https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=AAIAAABJjV0Bf-UfIBVf21n_GtQziqq6bO070EQ
but if I enter that ID on the CP Professional Profile page, it gets saved as just 0
What is the magic incantation to get the LinkedIn ID that is usable on CP?

It appears LinkedIn has changed the format of their profile URLs. In fact in doing a little testing it seems LinkedIn profile URLs are simply busted. My one (https://ca.linkedin.com/in/chrismaunder[^]) goes to a 404, even though this is the URL my profile page tells me is my URL.
Regardless, I'll update the ID scraper to take into account the new format.
cheers

When pasting text, there will be a popup window to choose how the text is pasted. If you don't wait for the popup to be shown or enter any characters, a default conversion is used which depends on the text.
With HTML text that should not be converted choose "Paste as-is". Then it looks like this (copied and pasted from your post):
http://www.codeproject.com/Forums/1580229/General-Indian-Topics.aspx[^]
If you choose "Encode HTML" (which is the default for the above text) it will show the HTML code:
<a href="http://www.codeproject.com/Forums/1580229/General-Indian-Topics.aspx">http://www.codeproject.com/Forums/1580229/General-Indian-Topics.aspx</a>[<a href="http://www.codeproject.com/Forums/1580229/General-Indian-Topics.aspx" target="_blank" title="New Window">^</a>]

Do you have the "Treat my content as plain text, not as HTML" option ticked?
