My apologies. My personality can be abrasive at times, with no mal-intentions.
I suppose it depends on how you look at it, but I only become passionate about things I care about. So if I did not care, my abrasiveness would not show (I know it is kind of perverted).

This idea pops up as regularly as clockwork. Unfortunately, while this is a good idea in principle, it would be abused by the Univoters entering gibberish (the official language of Gibberania).

Perhaps weighting the vote via the "Rate this Message" could balance that.

And that's a perfect example. Instead of wondering why it got voted so low, we now know 2 things.
1) The vote really doesn't reflect any actual opinion of the content of the post.
2) The person who made the vote is a gibbering fool.
Now I won't lose any sleep on figuring out where I erred in the article/post. Had the person actually put something of a meaningful comment with the vote, it could be corrected.

So, whenever i use some <pre></pre> tags, apart from removing any empty lines within it, everytime the message is edited/posted, a couple more empty lines are added to the bottom of my message. Whats up with that? Infact, it might not be becuase of the pre tags, but just that i notice it when i use them, but still, stop woth the extra lines
Code?
End of message
Bottom of message (written in sig) EDITED 5 times in total, see all that space? ^

I think the dire need of the hour is to combat the following menace which growing like anything currently.
1) Cross Posts
2) Multiple Posts
A few of the old CPians take the pain of replying it with a message "Cross Post (Ignore)" for the benefit of other CPians to other save other CPians falling prey to these tricksters. I just thought if there could be some option where geographically distributed moderators can make a 'Lock Post'/'Disable Post'. Once the post is locked/disabled, it can only gather votes to die out or save itself in case of wrong categorization.

I second that.
Once flagged as a cross/multiple post, it should be impossible to reply any more,
or to modify the post. Voting and delete-by-owner should be the only remaining options.
There is no need to reward the cross/multiposter with a link to his original post...

What about those that genuinely post a Question in the C# forum only to be advised it would be better answered in the ASP.NET or SQL forums?
A genuine mistake and this locking makes them look bad.

OK, so give the owner a button to move the entire thread to the appropriate forum?
Maybe a better alternative: provide a "new link" button next to the "new message" button,
so a poster can post once, and can add a link in a second forum if he really feels the need.
A link would:
- not accept any text or replies where the link is
- when clicked, navigate to the original post
Anything, as long as it saves us from all these "wrong forum", "multiple post",
"cross-post but answering anyway" replies scattered all over the place.

I don't know if it's wise to make cross-posting so easy. :P
I can imagine this being seriously abused. I think the "move thread" option is much a much safer idea.

Of course the "new link" button would flag the cross-post as such, allowing everyone
to ignore it right away if they choose. I know I would.

Hi guys,
Since there are many articles about WPF, WCF, and few WF, now I think CodeProject forum really needs new categories about WPF, WCF and WF.
Also I think these technologies won't fit into Vista category, since they are specific to .NET 3.0 and 3.5.
Any suggestions are welcome!
Best regards,
Eriawan K.
