I like your thinking. How about something cleaner:
Whenever someone marks a message as spam it goes into the same spam moderation queue that all automatically marked spam goes into. That way we have a single system, and a single point of reference for spam.

That's fine as far as it goes, but it still means we have to add a message somewhere to identify the account that posted it. Getting rid of the messages is easy, getting rid of the spammers is somewhat less so. But I'm sure you experts will come up with something brilliant.

We already have the ability to auto-nuke member accounts when message reports hit a certain threshold. Unfortunately there were too many accounts getting nuked because of trigger fingers so we've backed away from allowing auto-nuking.
It makes it more work for sure, but it protects members from unintended consequences.

What would be useful is for auto notification when marking spam in moderation. So, you say that something is spam, then a message is automatically created in the spam forum, including links to the messages/answers/comments for the account being moderated. This is the manual part that we end up doing anyway, so cutting this out would be a huge time saver, and doesn't have the effect that auto-nuke has - members are still required to vote. I would be tempted to make this option a separate one from just marking something as spam - make it explicit that the moderator wants to take this action.

I like the idea. If possible, this seems quite clean and still saves time and keystrockes

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Ah, I remember this account. He posted a very spammy answer of SQL command to an answer which had nothing to do with SQL itself. As soon as I report as "Not an answer" the answer was gone.
Checking into my flags for "Not an answer" may help in finding that answer, maybe. By thinking hard, I (just think), think the answer was posted on: How Memory map is done in a processor[^].

If I misclicked vote up/down button, then there is no way to cancel it. There should be a way of cancelling.

No, there should be a way to hold your thoughts and do not black out too soon.

If you downvoted by mistake, you only option is to change your vote to "upvote" if you think downvote was not earn.

I provided answers to a couple of questions earlier today and gained +10 reputation for doing so, yet when my answer is downvoted I lose 16, is that normal?
|

This is the current stalemate over use of comment box versus answer box. To do the math on the gambit (one point for a comment or possibly minus six for a bad answer) and come up with a formal method to win at all rolls of that die precludes me from venturing into QA.
Other than to downvote Answers.

Yes, that is totally normal because if you post a helpful post, same user (with a weight of 8) would provide you with +40.
That is the voting system on CodeProject. The reputation system on CodeProject[^] has a lot of features, which are used to ensure that good content comes on top and bad content goes down. The weight is gained by users for being helpful to the community. +10 is just to add the answer post, for taking the pain to answer the user. -16 if you did not answer it well or helpful. That also depends on the user down-voting. Please look into the weights on that page.
I would suggest that you do not post answers to questions you have no idea about. Ignoring a question is best to avoid downvotes. A downvote of -16 is usually because your answer wasn't helpful.
I hope you understand.

Ah, that makes perfect sense. I hadn't contemplated that it could be down to reputation of the voter, and missed that in the information about reputation.
Thanks all for clarifying.

Asking a question will also land you a point deficit.

If like me you have a lot of "Notifications" - you might want to hover the mouse over the notifications count with the browser window narrower than standard: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B90_SQQe8qkAV2xwQTdsc1U4cWc/view?usp=sharing[^] and the highlighted menu item "covers" the notifications.
Just looks odd, that's all - It's not important!

It's a z-order error that I reported quite some time ago. I think this has been happening for at least two years now.

Can't believe we never spotted that before. All fixed at next deploy.
