If you hover over her user icon, you'll see the tool-tip says "staff".
Staff
The Code Project staff are those beleaguered souls who are working full time on keeping the CodeProject machine ticking over. Dedication above and beyond the call of duty is the order of the day. Think of them in your prayers.

It's a couple of days that the Ad at the top of the page shows clicbaiting spammy articles, as in the following
Especially the second line is a proper clickbait with all the trimmings (translated: "Italy is in ruins - Italy's secret leaked out The problems unleashed behind everyone's backs"). This is not developer related, not interesting, quite alarming and points to gods know where.
Up to now I used twice the report function on that ad... just pointing it out to the team because I saw it's not an isolated problem so maybe you'd want a nice chat with the company or adjust some knobs.

I suspect it wasn't actually removed, but that someone with the necessary permissions edited the message to remove the spam content.
The same thing seems to have happened to several of that spammer's messages.

Could be. There are quite a lot of this kind of messages in that specific article...
I'm not sure if they should be reported now since the spam detector A.I. might get inaccurate signals

When I find a "message closed" with a "member no longer available" in the forums I tend to delete it, just to tidy up. But sometimes it goes away, and sometimes it's replaced by Message Removed[^] and I can't see any reason why it "deletes" or "removes".
Is there some logic which I'm clearly missing here?

If it has child messages then you can't delete the message. The entire thread needs deleting (not sure if you have that privilege)

No child messages - I'm used to that one, and just delete from the bottom up.

You can't blame me for not keeping up with every unannounced change that Chris makes!

I prefer to call these things "surprise features" rather than give them the harsh label of "unintended consequences".
More than likely I made the change and a squirrel or something ran past my window and I totally forgot to make mention of the policy change.

Perhaps my memory is playing tricks on me but I'm quite confident I voted for "Inaccurate or incomplete" for Database connector: MySQL, MS SQL and MS Access for Beginners when it was in moderation. However, now I'm listed in the "Approved by" section.
Is there something odd with "Approved by" list or have I just selected incorrect option?

|

No you didn't.
A bug has been fixed and I'll deploy soon. Sorry about the misrepresentation.

Will it only solve the bug of taking all reports as approved?
or include some of the suggestions below too?
I ask to know what to give feedback if I find something.
M.D.V.
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?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
