Are you sure? Only the other day I posted about a cheap canned meat and then immediately marked it as Spam.

Its good. You should.
Sean said that by this feature,we can confess. We have 10,032,484 members. How many of them reports their own comments as Spam/Abusive in 24hrs or so called confess them selves? If you count that number and think for while,you will come to know that its not required.

Let me invert the question for you then. Is it worth spending time removing a feature that no one clicks on anyway?

This is the bug which was just introduced.
Please see my comment: http://www.codeproject.com/script/comments/View.aspx?cmt=497349[^].
The source text of the comment was this:
<a href="http://whathaveyoutried.com"><u>http://whathaveyoutried.com</u></a>?
—SA
When we view the rendering of the text, the question mark appears on the separate line. We know that line breaks in HTML are rendered by the site software as <br/>, it's okay. But I did not insert these line breaks. When I click "edit" icon I can see that my original HTML text was mangled to:
<a href="http://whathaveyoutried.com">
<u>http://whathaveyoutried.com</u>
</a>?
—SA
I cannot fix it. Which is apparently wrong.
[EDIT]
The problem was observed using Mozilla browser: Seamonkey 2.20.

Did you mean that you are unable to correct it? If so,i just tried and edited that comment. Please refer it.

I mean that the text is mangled the way I described every time I edit it and post. I just tested it again: it still behaves like that.

FireFox:
This is quite strange as it seems an issue with the browser's rendering of said HTML. I edited your comment to be completely in one line only, but when I saved it was distributed over several lines again.
IE8.0.7601:
Looking at the comment in IE immediately showed all the content in one line and when I edited the text it showed up all in one line.
Oh the wonders of cross-browser compatibility!

Exactly. This is not just the HTML. Apparently, the site uses scripting for post post-processing. But I did not face this problem before yesterday.
Thank you, Manfred.

Seems to be new to me too and I do quite a bit of editing.

Well what do you know. At work we're still using IE8 which does not exhibit the bug you mentioned, but now that I'm at home wit IE10 the same bug manifests itself.
 Did I mention that I find browser incompatibilities between versions of the same browser even worse than those between different browsers. 
Cheers!

A good point. I will update the post to mention I'm using the latest Seamonkey... But I thought it does not matter: the post is post.
Thank you.

Quite some time ago I posted the following:
regardless of the number of times I attempt to confirm my email address hsmyers@gmail.com nothing happens. no email shows up---nothing---nada---zilch. i really dislike the various messages you display for those in this situation. please fix...
Dave Auld responded and possibly tinkered under the hood, but between the two us we've never had success.
To be clear, he sent me email directly with no problem. The fail seems confined to the autosend confirmation process. I wonder if we can't capture the output and examine it to see why it never hits my account---keeping in mind that I watch both incoming and spam boxes... BTW I also don't receive the 'E-mail me if someone replies to this message' autosend either. So something seems broken?

Is is my IE again? Actually I am running Mozilla now.
I keep getting "...message already posted..." when I click "post message"

there were traffic issues on the servers, probably causing these[^] too

We have limits on title length but people are always going to post titles that are good, bad and ugly.
The mechanisms are already in place to allow you to either report a question or go in and edit a question or its title directly.

I get the following options while i am going to report some question:
Unclear or Incomplete
Repost
Not a question
Off-topic
Spam/abusive
Which option should i choose if i found title irrelevant or whole question in title? And why?

In these days,various silly or meaningless questions are coming up in a number.Sometimes i often feel bored to see such questions asking for please help me,send me the code,email me or interview type questions.For this,i suggest a feature of mouse hover option that will describe something about question quality and save time from those lame questions.
Generally we view questions like View all questions[^],but with this feature when someone points his mouse on a question he will see small description and tags of that question.Rating and reporting could also be added on that pop-up,if the description pleases him he will click the link as usual and give solution.But in case of a lame question,he need not to view all of that and in case of a spam he could report it from that pop-up.I think this could results CP more neat and clean.
It's only my opinion,hope for some discussions from expert's and Chris..

The rating of a question is indicated by the question being highlighted as green (good) or grey (bad), and the tags for each question are already shown.
I'm not sure what value the suggested changes would add.
