I like the idea, subject to Hans concerns. It's been something I've toyed with for years.
I'll add it to the wishlist though.

As we keep running across the same questions all the time, some of them quite valid but repeated continuously as new people come on board I would like to see standard searches. This not a FAQ which I don't think will ever be used but a set of pre formatted article searches.
It could be DDL, live up near the existing search and would need to be filtered by the current forum.
Get the people who answer the question to devise the searches and have them submitted to the hamsters for inclusion in the DDL. Hopefully this would give you a limited number of good searches from a limited number of skilled answerers.
I would also like to be able to paste a standard search into a reply without having to go look for it (with a humorous/cutting remark directing the asker to the article search facility).

Interesting idea. I've got something close (kinda) I'll be rolling out soon.

Pretty much in all the forums, the View unanswered questions in the ..... forum seems to pull up questions/posts that have a reply, is this something that is going to be looked into?

Error: Transaction (Process ID 247) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.. Ticket:

 Ok, you're excused
OT: Here is an interesting thing I noticed. I posted a bunch of messages in the LAMP portion of CP, when I went back to the regular CP, my profile didn't show the LAMP messages in my recently posted messages. When I go into my profile on the LAMP page, everything is there. On both LAMP and the regular CP member profile, the counts are correct. Not sure what is going on but figured I'd let you know.

Hello,
Take a look at this member[^]. I think there is a problem with the number of messages he posted  .
|
|
|
|
|
Look at his biography:
I like to find security bugs in different applications
|
|
|
|
|
It seems he only posted 6 messages. Deal of the week post 6 messages and get 1,000,000 free

If anyone clicks on Report Article for an article needing approval, shouldn't that prevent it from being publicly displayed until an editor looks at it? I thought the purpose of the article approval process was to keep junk articles out of public view and off the front page.
I reported this article [http://www.codeproject.com/KB/list/Extended_List_Control.aspx[^]] and now it's on the front page, 1.11 rating and all.

Article Reporting merely puts an article in a queue for us to look at. 99% of the entries in this queue are bogus so we're not going to remove an article just because someone sends an article report that contains a "HEPL ME PLZZ!!" message for their homework assignment.

I believe it's true for articles that are publicly available, so everybody can hit report button including complete idiots who do the stuff you described. But those articles which wait for approval can be viewed only by gold+ members. So I guess that the rate of bogus reports are significantly lower for those articles.

You are right of course, there is something fundamentally wrong in the approval scheme:
it is intended to keep bad articles out, but the only tool we get is a button to
approve an article, since votes are irrelevant (there have been several threads
about ignoring them, resetting them, and what have you) and reporting just queues something.
There is nothing to effectively indicate disapproval.
That is like telling you "try and avoid the rain", while handing you sun glasses.
On the positive side, the situation has been worse, when there was no approval
step at all.
