Hi CP Team,
In a few recent articles I can see multiple spams posted by members an example.
So I just thought cant we put some heavy restrictions like multiple authentication(if post contains some URLs, a $, shipping,price,paypal etc), account suspension or barring from post for a few days (In case post is "reported[Abusive spam]").

Oh for a minute there I thought you had a solution, not just a random suggestion!
I do believe the hamsters are doing a reasonable job of eliminating the spam, it is not possible to asses the content of the post reliably. At least I can think of many legitimate subjects which that would trigger your onerous authentication. This would only act to irritate the very people who are trying to contribute to the site.
I know I have a standing order for telepathic software but have achieved it yet!
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

Will surely post a solution soon. 
but it will only contribute till it remains private..
You know hackers out there,even I wont miss a chance to blow if I get a vulnerability.

An anti-spam system was implemented recently, but it was so aggressive it started to close down accounts of some of the more senior members of the site, which was not popular.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

perhaps designers also inserted Demographic shift algorithm in the software

No problem Kenneth, they've been removed.

I wonder if this is a general problem with blog and tip reviews, as it seems to happen agian no matter were i write it... Meaning, perhaps I didnt make a mistake ?

There are two tips with same content. Please remove one.

In the Surveys page, the title needs to be changed to "All Available Surveys", both on the page and the site title.

Nevermind, it looks like notifications disappear when I click the "Go To" link.
However, I'm not sure I like that, so I do have a suggestion. Instead of removing them, just unemphasize them in some way (e.g., with a different color) to indicate they've been visited.

|
We were going to do that, but the clutter...

That is why you have paging and a "Select All" checkbox. 
|
|

I have to disagree.
Notifications are there as backup to email. They aren't an inbox or history of your notifications (that's what your email is for). Ultimately we need to make it so that if you click a link in an email (or even view an email - but that's more and more impractical each day) the notification is removed from your list. You shouldn't have to remove ones you've seen.
Then, if we choose to keep the ones you've read in the list, they should be shown after all the unread ones. In that case paging makes sense. However, keeping read ones in your list in reverse chronological order means the unread ones will never be seen. I get around 50-75 notifications a day, so doing this for me would make the system instantly pointless.

How about a checkbox that says "Remove notifications once I visit them?" You could have it checked by default.
|
|
|
|
|
In other words a 'hide read notifications' checkbox.
We could.

I just visited the Press Releases[^] page & I found many threads there. But I couldn't find the details of poster details. I clicked the Email link on this thread[^] it goes to email window, from that page I found that LogicNP is the poster. I would be fine if you display the poster details in (sticky)threads like normal threads.

They aren't sticky threads - the forum is being displayed in Open mode (ie all posts open).
They are press releases. If a company posts a press release and doesn't include the standard "About Company X" blurb in their release then that's their choice.

I forgot to mention that you could see the sticky threads on members personal blog(profile page) too. Anyway your reply makes sense. So leave it.
Answered by you. Thanks.
