I slipped-up and forgot to make a backup of my "solution" before the "jaws of death" closed: [^].
Is that "version" hack still available that someone here (Rage ?) showed me how to use to recover the post ?
Edit: yes, it was ProgramFox showed me how to find a deleted response using the 'version url, and I found it, sans carriage-returns, but otherwise intact.
Unfortunately, I lost my comment to Sergey's comment which was meant to go in my ammunition box 
thanks, Bill

You'd think he would back off at this time of year.
Oh well, so much for goodwill to all men.
Have a good one Bill!

Allow the author to set the Author level at which a member must be in order to vote on his article. This is based on the assumption that most higher level users are actually programmers and have a certain level of maturity and integrity.
The default would be ALL, but other levels would be Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze.
Also, allow the author to contest a vote that is not tied to reporting a message as abuse or spam. Another option in the report icon menu could be "Unjustified".

I can understand your concern but that won't help as all will start setting level as platinum and in most of the case i have seen,members going through and making use of the Article are bronze or silver levels.
We have rating system in place especially to handle such cases. These negative voting will not make any effect. As per as the recent case is concerned, member is under process and will be no more within few hours.
If you still find such members who always see everything negatively, mention them at SA watch and necessary action will be taken (We had found such members in past).

I think you need to let this go and just move on. I say this with kindness.

What's the specific problem you're looking to solve?
I'm in favour of fixing broken things. I'm not in favour of breaking something else to fix something. And then causing leaks and squeaks and endless complaints about the fix forever after.

Um. Mostly.

Things that bother me, of course.

And you call yourself a programmer?
BTW, you might recall an earlier suggestion I made regarding only allowing "This article is useful" votes, eliminating the numeric voting altogether. Of course, there's really no way to back-fill the system unless you make the assumption that an existing vote of (for example) 4 or more is required to determine whether or not an article is "useful", and all (existing) lower votes are thrown out.

When approving a forum message from the moderation queue, it will be shown as modified (" [modified]" appended to the subject). This might irritate the poster.
Also the message count on the user's profile will count such messages twice. I just noticed this behaviour with a new member posting his first message. When then openning the Lates Messages list, there will be only one message shown.

It seems to be one of the new spam prevention mechanisms.
When then spam detection triggers on a new forum message, it will be put into the moderation queue where it can be tagged as spam or be approved for publishing.
The moderation queue link is shown on the main page above the article moderation links when it is not empty.
I had so far one spam message and two valid posts. With the spam message I reported the account which got then closed very fast.

I have never seen that link. Thanks for pointing that out. I will try to follow that link.

You should spend more time on the main page than in the spam forum and Q&A

Then you have come to the wrong place.

I see that you're new to Code Project. First of all, please let me welcome to the community - it's a great place to be, and people will generally try to help out. Saying that, there are a couple of things that you should be aware of.
First of all, this part of the site is intended for people who want to suggest a new feature for the site, or who want to report a bug in the site. This isn't the place to pose a programming question.
Second point - people will help you with issues. They are highly unlikely to just hand over fully working systems for you. If you're lucky, you might find an article that does exactly want and that's great; the articles are what makes this site great after all. If there are no articles, then people will answer specific programming problems, but you have to show that you have tried things, and you should highlight where things are going wrong.

He sure is. After reading arrogant and often technically shallow responses from people, and assuming even momentarily that the site's not what it used to be, you then come across guys like Pete and feel comfortable in that - for every idiot out there, CP has intelligent, smart-thinking folks like Pete!
