Here's a perfect example of what "literacy" entails. Or I should say one example of it:
Merging two tables based on id[^]
Based upon a judgment of the intelligence of the poster, a duplication of textual input in his output. The poster's sense of the blackbox that exists in communications.
In lieu of the usual verborum bombastus.
(due to the fact that when arguments to the original Bug/Sugg, unless the hamsters are truly genuine in they're concern over the topical content value after they post answers/thoughts here, are not seen by them. Only by the concerned cpian adding his sense to the discussion ...)
Has anybody given thought to a forum paradigm like Zimbardo's Prison Study? For example, instead of striking the bad poster ("kicking" I think is the shared term often used) from the lists, placing him in a more familial role as an outcast or a prisoner. CPians who engauge actively in site patrolling , I believe, already have a good sense of "who they are"?
But like I said above, this partition ("What I have tried") is an invitation to phish/troll and doesn't actively thwart a dumb poster from deciding to think twice. Oh, and on thinking twice, isn't that the fractious isps/esps constellation where the eyes better serve the fingers of the hands?

To be honest I find the message you linked actually is a good example for the "what have I tried"
The guy is honest and says... "I know I am wrong" but he still shows he has tried something and put it in the correct place.
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.

I see the the same numbers on all pages.
My guess is a cache error.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

That happens when the database gets lazy and the system gives up and makes up a number instead.

I posted a reply to someone and the post was removed but it didn't even have a link.
Can someone fix this and/or explain it.
I just don't want the system or anyone at CP to think I'm posting spam either.
Thanks
The link to the missing post is:

But that post is not missing.

Very odd.
I received a message via email that it was blocked.
Then, I came to CP to check on it and I couldn't see the post so I looked in my recent activity list (CP) and clicked the link to show the post again and it wouldn't show up. Tried several times.
Hmmm.... the hamsters must've had it stuffed in their cheeks.

I suspect that it got sent to the moderation queue, for some unknown reason. That means it will not show up until someone clicks the accept button on it. So while it is waiting you cannot see it, but as soon as it's released it gets posted in the proper place.

No problem. I was just curious and wanted to make sure I wasn't wrongfully considered a bad citizen. 
I'm posting good stuff out here.
Thanks for explaining.

Hey, thanks for the encouragement. That means a lot to me. Very nice.

There was a message in this forum recently where a member asked to delete his account and I answered him. Then the message got removed in the sense that it showed "Message removed" and I got deducted one rep point. Now that the message appears to be wiped completely, I got another point deducted.
(Couldn't care less for 2 points but I assume Chris would want to fix this.)

Thanks for the report. That's a very rare case and I'll queue up the fix.

Is it normal to see all these old questions on top of QA ?
Some of these questions show fake updates or no update at all.
I have even seen a question supposedly improved by me a few minutes ago when in fact I did the improve 2-3 days ago.

If a spam answer or really bad answer gets removed by members voting it out, then the question unfortunately ends up back "on the top of QA" ... because the overall thread has been updated.
You're not going to see the "update" if it has been removed.
This is the way of things.
[EDIT] - OK I take that back ... we must have been really badly hit by some spam or something has gone horribly wrong. Lots and lots of ancient stuff appearing

I know 3 reports to remove the bad. I am reporting quite often

Have look at this one Add Macro To Excel File Generated From Rdlc Report[^]
Someone just added a solution (which is not one), and the question seems to have been edited at same time.
Looks like a bug.

Hello Team, I see the Authority graph in my reputation stopped somewhere in the month of December' 15.
Is this a bug or known thing which I am not aware of...

According to the FAQ[^], you only get "Authority" points for answering questions in QA or posting in the programming forums.
As far as I can see, your last QA answer was 2nd December, and I can't see any messages in the programming forums.

Yes. I didn't participated in answering questions. I was in an opinion that graph will still continue horizontally without any change in its value.
Thanks for the clarification

Sometimes I get notified of a reply to a forum message, but when I click on the link I do not see that message. If someone else responds to that same thread, and I refresh the page after that has happened, I do see the previously missing message. If no one else replies on that thread, the missing message does not appear even after 15-20 minutes.
