According to the profile page, I joined 11 years, 4 months ago and I joined because I had decided I needed to learn this ".NET" thing I kept hearing about.
Unfortunately I joined a company that frowned on communism sharing so I had to dial back my contributions for the last 7 years or so...but I am back in the free world again so be prepared for more of my questionable output.

I joined 4 1/2 years ago.
I initially joined to download code from an article.
But have been attempting give back to the community as much as possible by answering questions and posting tips.
I personally want to get to the point where I can confidently post an article but I have a few more tips to post before I can do such a move.

Today has been 7yrs 6 mo. for me on this account and 11yrs 10mo. on my other account and it is a totally different place. Marc Clifton was one of my first contacts.
Along with Antimatter and Dark Matter they've discovered the existence of Doesn't Matter which appears to have no effect on the universe whatsoever!

I'm confused. I had to go to my messages page and I see this has attracted a 1 vote. Has downvoting been reinstated in the lounge and I missed it?

Possibly "Report abuse/spam" option. Check your Rep.history.

Someone obviously thought there was - which is fair enough; everyone is entitled to their opinion.

How about PITA icons, you could have a whole range of them for serial askers of lousy questions, serial garbage answers, the various stalkers, serial jokers .

Now that, Mycroft, is out-of-the-box thinking !
I think the medieval use of public shaming in "stocks" as punishment could be adapted for use on CP.
What would be the term for a forum so full of icons that text-content is hard to find ?

More tears from Blubba Watson after he wins the Masters.
He needs to man up and stop weeping.
I let it slide when he cried last time, but hell man, are you going to cry like a little girl everytime you do your job?

Recently I have been visiting quick answers - view unanswered questions. Today, a member posted the question
How to get count of occurrence of characters in string using c#?
That was it! No attempted solution. No report of Google searching. No nothing!
OK. So now I agree with OriginalGriff regarding misuse of the discussions forums. So I think that we, as a community, need a way to tell the OP that his question is rejected for lack of trying. We also need a mechanism to tell the OP that we think that the answer to his question could be used for nefarious purposes that we, as a community, do not support. Under the Report flag, all we have is
Unclear or incomplete.
Repost.
Not a question.
Off-topic.
Spam/abusive.
The question cited above is none of these. A Google search of "c# occurrences of a character in a string" returned more than 90K answers. So apparently the OP didn't try Googling. The OP may not have been aware of the wealth of online resources. So how do we educate our junior members?
I would suggest adding two items to the list
Rejected by the Forum. You must at least try to get a solution before you post here.
Rejected by the Forum. The answer could be used for bad things.
Both of these should remove the question from the forum and send an email to the OP explaining why the action was taken. The OP should be able to click a link in the email and defend his question.

but I have been here on every single work day for the past 12 years, which I think is not a bad achievement. I also helped a lot of people back in the early MFC days, as I still was a developper. And I have made some interesting suggestions to improve CP ![Beer | [beer]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif)
to most of the regulars here, so all in all, so meeting people IRL would be great.
