Sounds like what King Edward of England did to Wallace's body to warn people who were plotting against his authority. He quartered it and placed bits of it all over his kingdom. It had the opposite effect.

You may wish to have a look at the Soapbox - it doesn't look good in there.

Spammers might get happy just to make the forum look ugly by posting many spams. If the message is deleted and gone, they would be feel helpless and would not try again after seeing the message disappear completely.

Well said. I think I failed to coin it this accurately.

Actually yes, it did.
A couple of fresh wooden stakes and a mallet has fixed the problem for good.

Is the "Cancel" button a new addition to the message editor page or have I been eating too many ham sandwiches? If it's the former, would you consider right justifying, moving it further away from the "Preview" button, or adding a confirmation dialog when the message content is non-empty?
I'm tired of cancelling my intricately formatted posts when I meant to preview them. 
Also, the "Cancel" button doesn't add any client-side functionality not already possible by pressing the browser's "Back" button.
Thanks,

It's new. I've shifted it a little. Better?

Enter some text in the message window. Now hit the back button. Now hit the cancel button.
Besides, this is a protest to Microsoft and their Vista UI change that moves the back buttons of wizards up to the top left of screens, away from the bottom line of buttons as it used to be.

You shifted it alright, about 3 miles due east.

Urgent
No this post is NOT Urgent, it is a suggestion for a Forum called "Urgent".

Wonderful idea.
That way any questions like "Urgent: Turning the text box color to red" can go in that forum and be totally ignored. Oops I said it aloud

Yeeeah...No.
