He has to put his nonsense joke in the lounge so CPians will come to know his reinstatement.

A while back, I posted a bug, "Tips Categorized Incorrectly". I have since discovered that the page in question generates different HTML depending on whether or not I am logged in.
If I am logged in, I don't get this bit of HTML:
<div id="ctl00_MC_TR_ctl05_CAR_SectionDiv">
<h3>Programming Tips</h3>
</div>
<div id="ctl00_MC_TR_ctl05_CAR_SubsectionDiv">
<p><a id="ctl00_MC_TR_ctl05_CAR_SubsectionLink" href="/KB/tips/">General</a></p>
<div style="border-bottom:solid 1px #CCCCCC;margin-left:40px;"></div>
</div>
I think there was another header that also didn't get generated, but you get the idea.

I went to my Reputation History, and I saw that at least 15 of my answers were bookmarked (all posted in December). I've no idea why, because these answers aren't related with each other. I find that this looks strange and suspicious.
I'm posting this because I don't want to be considered as a sock-puppeteer.

Isn't that exactly what you'd say if you were a sock-puppeteer?

If I really was a sock-puppeteer then I wouldn't post this thread and would I bookmark my answers from August 2012.

I would have assumed CP has installed an automatic Bookmark-As-Fast-As-You-Can identifier, after all these things are standard and fairly simple to implement...

Hi ProgramFox,
Why not assume that someone(s) finds your answers valuable ?
yours, Bill

It is quite an illusion to imagine that one adjusts to reality essentially without the use of language and that language is merely an incidental means of solving specific problems of communication or reflection."

A couple of hours ago, someone posted a question in which he provided a secret Twitter key. Manfred R. Bihy[^] suggested to delete his question, because even if the OP would edit his question and remove the key, the first version would still be visible. And I said that it's also possible to see deleted questions if you know the question ID (by going to the ListVersion.aspx?aid=<questionID> page and choosing the latest version). Manfred replied here[^] that he thinks deleted questions shouldn't be visible. But I use this "feature" when I report abuse if the abusive question is already deleted, to prove that it's really abuse.
So I've this suggestion: the question shouldn't be accessible if the OP deleted it, but still accessible if the question is closed after 3 reports (or perhaps when it's deleted by a Protector/Admin).
What do you think?

Just what it says on the tin. I haven't received any notifications since yesterday for any replies to my posts in any of the forums.

Have you done all the usual (checked spam filters, checked there's no kinks in your ethernet cable, checked your computer's turned on?) I've checked your account and it all seems fine.

I'm receiving e-mails from elsewhere, just not CP. I've checked the settings and nowt is changed, all is correct.
There are no spam messages from you, or anyone else for that matter.
I even checked my hotmail account, with my olde e-mail, and that's fine with a couple of e-mails in today I know where forwarded.
I am confused.

I think I found it.
Your message had "E-mail me if someone replies to this message" unchecked. I've checked it. Let me know if this comes through via email.

How the elephant did that change?
I've always left that checked and don't recall unchecking it. I didn't post anything around 10:30 last night did I saying someone was now 'my best mate'?
Anyway, thank yee sire but you'll still lose The Ashes.

On second thoughts, maybe we should swap back.

Too late. He's sold his place up the road from me in Melbourne (OK, 10 mins away, but I did bump into him a couple of times at our local cafe) and he's packed his mittens and is on your side of the pond already.

I'm getting some of the notifications hours late (some half a day late!)
So if it's related, I'd say expect a blast of notifications soon

Do we really want to ban people for telling bad jokes?
Please see this post[^]which got the member banned.
Now I don't particularly like the bad jokes that blight the Soapbox but I don't think the intention of the report message button was to remove members who post them, which is what happened in this case. One poster has admitted in that thread that when he reported it he didn't think it would get the member banned, but I suspect the rest of the reporters knew that would be the result(and I reckon I could name them).
I thought that the idea when the down-voting was removed, was that if we didn't like something we should say so by replying to that member in order to educate them in the forum protocol, this has also happened in that thread but people still felt the need to remove him. The reporters will say that he has been warned before and didn't listen, but I think he is genuinely trying to fit in and his only crime is to post rubbish jokes - not really a banning criteria and a 'crime' that many others are guilty of in that forum, but they don't get banned.
When the remove power was in the hands of the admins, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have removed him, so we shouldn't remove him either. After all he marked his post with a joke icon, so members who didn't like his previous jokes could have just passed on by without reading it.
Is it worth reminding the people who reported it what the report button should actually be used for?

I didn't think you could get rid of someone just from downvoting on messages. If you could, I'd have gone.
