So when I write a formula using this code:
<div class="math">$20 \mu \cdot 5$</div>
It shows up correctly, but when I try to do an inline math formula with this code:
20 \mu \cdot 5
It wont show up.

It's not you - it doesn't work in the Article Formatting tips for CodeProject[^] article either!

The formatting tips about LaTex Math states that you should use $...$ for block and (...) for inline...
So it should be
(20 \mu \cdot 5)
It worked for me...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

But it seems like basically all of them have one thing in common.
The same line repeats twenty or so times.
The spam filter might be in the need of a tiny tweak?

See thread below. They are posting normal messages and then editing it a few minutes later and updating with the spam content.

Yes I saw it, and while I haven't seen it happen myself, it makes sense.

With the actual Korean spam run the spammers seem to circumvent the filter by posting a meaningless message and editing it afterwards. I recognised this a few times when entering/reloading a forum and there was a new message with random characters in subject and body which turns into a spam message shortly thereafter.
I don't know if it is possible but it would help when edited messages have to pass the filter too.

We've fixed that little loophole.
More proof that spam isn't by bots.

I comment an article but my comment was not shown yet saying "Not publicly visible"
[^]
So how long does it take to be available?

Ok. I see it now on the article! It was taking quite some time to appear though.
|
|
|
|
|
Again the same issue appear ? Can someone explain why it take such longtime to appear?

Because it's in moderation. I don't know why. But I'm looking at it. It had better be worth it... 
|
|
|
|
|
Why now in moderation queue? Why wasn't before? Just why ? What's the issue here. It's plain clean comments are being written.
Doesn't make sense.

I know that. And you know that. But the hamsters get bored on Sunday afternoons.

The spam detection system is a complex, heuristic piece of software that tries hard (and succeeds, mostly) to detect potential spam by analysis of the message content. If it gets too high, the message, question, or answer is sent to moderation where it takes a human being to decide to publish or not.
Unfortunately, spammers are wise to this, and try to sneak their drivel through as unremarkable messages - which means that sometimes an innocent message gets caught by mistake (which is why it goes to moderation instead of immediately being deleted) because it contains words or phrases which have been seen in a lot of "genuine spam".
I know it's a pain, but trust me on this: it's a damn site better than not having the system running at all! You would not believe how many posts these people can try to submit... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Your message just happened to combine words that have been seen in spam messages in the past, hence it was flagged for approval instead of automatically being posted.
Lucky or unlucky - you decide.

I added a feature to my sample in A Working TCP Client and Server With SSL but when I log in to CodeProject and try to edit the article to describe the change, the submission wizard responds "Unfortunately you do not have permission to edit this article". I've sucessfully done this before, and on the face of it nothing is different this time (famous last words...), but I'm certainly getting different behavior.
Can anyone suggest what might be wrong?

There was weirdness in author association. I've whacked it a few times so please try again.
