THE TITLE OF THIS POST IS IN TITLE CASE AND I AM CURRENTLY TYPING THIS POST IN ALL CAPS. WHEN AN EXPLETIVE IS POSTED, IT GETS MASKED, WHICH IS FINE. HOWEVER, THE CASE OF THE VISIBLE LETTERS CHANGES. SOME EXAMPLES:
SH*T
PISS
F***
C***
C**K SUCKER
MOTHER F***ER
TITS
FYI, THOSE WORDS ARE ALL FROM GEORGE CARLIN'S SEVEN WORDS YOU CAN'T SAY ON TV, SO SOME OF THEM AREN'T CONSIDERED MASK-WORTHY HERE AT CODEPROJECT.

Just seems like a masking operation shouldn't change the case of the revealed characters, unless there is some meaning in the casing that lowercasing is masking. Here is an example of where changing case would seem acceptable:
abcFdeUfgChiKjkl
Seems like "masking" that as the following would not be a bad idea:
abcfdeufgchikjkl
But lowercasing normal curse words seems unnecessary.

If there is an issue with the masking of inappropriate words on the site then can I suggest a solution?
Don't use them.

Haha, fair enough. But I report bugs like this for you, not for me. When something seems less than professional, I notify you in case you feel like spiffing things up a bit. Aside from taking up your time, seems like it can only help.

I didn't mean to come across as not being thankful - I do very much appreciate you letting me know all the big and the small things. Guys like yourself help me stay on top of things.
This one, however, I'll tuck at the back of the TODO list

I reported over 400 bugs and suggestions while working for one of my first employers doing QA. I know all too well about priorities (I'm sure 350 of those "bugs" never got fixed). Thanks for the clarification

Finally, a clue as to the nature of the data structure of Chris M's todo list. Many people thought it was a stack, some said it was a doubly linked list. I alone insisted it was a queue, and now I have evidence for it.

I even thought of using an IQueryable but that new fangled LINQ stuff gets me quesy.

When going here[^]
I only see a total of 6 messages (including the 'how to answer / ask a question')
I can go to the next page where I see a full page then but it doesn't seem to link up.

We saw this a couple of weeks ago. If you click on the last message so it opens up, and then scroll down, you can see the other messages. But if you click on any of them it just goes back to the overview page.

Don't give me that "use the remove message" lame suggestion. I cannot use that link to ban an idiot. Now someone asked a generic networking question, and "demands" an answer. A regular points out that he shouldn't ask a n/w query in C++ board, he basically asks the regular to f*** off. Now, I want the staff to f*** him off this board.

I agree with you that the post was poor in tone, and got the polite teasing it deserved. I think it deserved low voting, not marked as abuse.
His follow up to the teasing *was* abuse, and I voted it as such. I presume others will agree, and he will be policed.
I think it's too much to expect Chris to ban idiots from CP. He needs *some* sleep!
And also against the banning, this certain user did actually help someone else on the same forum page in a polite and useful manner.
Just agree with him when he's right, and mark him down when he's being high and mighty - and vote as abuse when he's way over the line - from memory 13 people agreeing with that = post removal.

I was a bit angry when I made the post. Yes, yes. There's no need to ban a person the first time he offends. I think that I should make my points clear.
A moderator won't "ban" an user (of course repeated offenders should be banned). However, he will have offensive posts removed, and warn the offender. He will be able to move posts to a more appropriate forum (in this particular case, it could have prevented the whole drama).
A moderator would have the authority to remove duplicate posts and reposts (made within minutes - I'm sure you'd have noticed). And other things, that would enable the smooth running of forums. I'll make a detailed post later on this forum, creating a new thread explaining my ideas on this.

Hi Rajesh,
I fail to see that me suggesting the community use the tools it has at its disposal to manage situations like this is a lame suggestion. I understand you're frustrated, but honestly - how many times do you see a poster demand a question, and how many times do you see a post posted in the wrong forum? Do you honestly expect me to delete every user who does this? That is not a scalable solution.
What you are seeing is the reason you are now providing feedback on the new Quick Answers system. If this user posted this question in that system someone would either edit out the offending text or completely ignore him and his question would drop like a stone. I think that's a better solution than simply deleting a member who has actually given a fair bit to give to the community.

Hi Chris,
I'm sorry. I was way too frustrated to see such a thing that repeats itself over the time. It irritates me to see a few idiots insulting the ones that are helping others. But I do understand your situation.
Yes, I've been seeing the beta features. I've got some feedback. I'll make a detailed description of what everything that I have in my mind and make a post here.

That's what I find surprising; this is someone who's been around quite a while and posted 10 articles, so he should be fully aware of the protocols here. Are you sure he is the original user of this ID, as some of his questions imply a newbie?

How is it possible to know?
Maybe he, like others, is just have a bad hair day.
