We had discussed this in past,but it would be great if little change in reporting mechanism takes place like if n number of protectors report the account, then it gets closed. No 10 reports required.
Now a days,what happens is sometime there is huge list of posts on SA watch and some of them gets missed by some of the members and hence spammers are getting long life.

Did you saw the new link of 'X Messages need moderation'?
If you report a message there as spam it will be removed and the member too...No matter how many reports he got earlier...

1. I had a case when reporting the spam in the list (using the bin-trash icon) didn't responded, so I hit it a few times until got response ( )...Every hit created a 1 rep-point worth entry in my reputation list (but only one down-vote) - see lines 2-6
2. When I report a message in the list as not-spam I also got an entry that states I posted a message - see first line

Voting doesn't seem to working at the moment - I voted for Fast Implementations of Sparse Sets in C++[^], and it still says '0.00 (No votes)', even after several attempts ...

It might be caching. I think the vote was actually registered, because the article has 5 stars on the list of articles of the author[^].

The BOLD font looks too heavy on the lists. I switched it to 'normal' in the dev console and it looks better, more like the front page. Makes for a cleaner looking page. Less 90's

Is being it's usual PITA.
How about a "special page" for protectors.
Any user who gets a Protector report of "Spammer" gets shunted there, and all his future posts require moderation. If a second protector decides it was a mistake, he gets removed from the "moderate" list. If a second protector decides it wasn't, he gets deleted.
If nothing else, it would slow them down, and might help with our poor tired mouse fingers...

If you upvote a suggestion it climbs higher on the to-do (to-check) list of the hamsters...

I'm not a moderator, but have all the sympathy to your mouse... 
I think that this 'quarantine' should include also the currently posted messages of the reported spammer - so those messages will not mess with the QA question list...

Agree. Voted up!
How can I join Protector's club?
|
|
|
|
|
It's not a club you join: it's a club you get invited into by the staff as it gives certain powers not allowed to non-protectors.
They expanded the numbers pretty recently, so I wouldn't expect any more new ones for a while yet.

Question for you - it's been suggested by Rohan Leuva that I shouldn't be deleting the spam from Q&A, just reporting it. What do you do?
|
|
|
|
|
In QA, I report the author and delete the spam.
It's a public place, so the shorter the time it's there (and it can take a while to close it via spam reports alone) the less benefit the spammer gets from it, so the less likely they should be to keep coming back.
Besides, when there are a few of 'em working together they can post faster than we can report, and that "hides" everything else from genuine enquirers.

That's what I've been doing too. Thought I'd check it out, so thanks for the reply.

From Chrome browser when I publish new articles with Images. During the preview I can see the Images but after preview the Images are missing.
For this first write article in Chrome and save it and again edit from IE and publish.
From IE its working fine.
Why I use chrome is in some IE there is no Upload button to upload our images and Source Zip files.
