Chris raised the user report level as some sock puppets were abuse voting members off too easily.

It's still apparently lower than the message report level. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

On the topic of the messages not being removed, it seems to be a bug that only happens in forums that don't have downvoting, like the Lounge.

I am sorry to bother you,
But if its not a problem please move my thread I accidently posted in the wrong category.
Thanks to Richard MacCutchan I saw the Free Tools section, whose existence I didn't know about.

Why does clicking on download link navigates away from the article? 
Can we open the download demo link in new window? 
e.g. A Pagination Solution using IEnumerable<T>[^]

How about right clicking the download link and click on "Open link in new tab" or "Open link in new window" (words may vary according to the browser used) Or you might take the shortcut of middle clicking on the link.

While going to some place do you ever select longest route?

Oh that depends. There are many factors which I usually consider when choosing a route. While the distance usually has the biggest impact on that choice there are also many others to consider. Like: How fast can I travel on that route, am I travalling by car, foot, train, etc? If so which one is more/less appropriate for the means I'm travelling with etc., what are the costs needed? You may cross a lake with a ferry or drive around for less money. I guess you get my idea 
But tell me then: How is middle clicking longer than left clicking? it's just another button on my mouse  The functionality of opening things in the same or a new tab/window is already in basically every browser so there shouldn't be any need of opening things in a new tab. Oh, and by using another mouse button I'm in control of what's happening too. Why would you want to take that choice away from the user? If it was opening in a new tab by default I wouldn't have that choice anymore...
Just because it might be more convenient for you doesn't mean it has to be for every other person out there. I for one (and probably many others) like it better the way it is, and it doesn't take me any effort to open it in a new tab if I'd wish to do so.

I thought it would be nice to have notifications while using mobile layout. But after checking HTML of a page, I noticed that the span tag for them is already being rendered but the corresponding anchor tag has a "display:none" attribute.
Is it intentional or a bug?
Whether I think I can, or think I can't, I am always bloody right!

This member : http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=7935011[^] has been reported here : http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4862211/Nonsense.aspx[^]
I don't know why? Its in GIT and hence regional language doesn't matter. Further, i can understand that post and there is nothing Abusive at all [Indian movie names modified with Farcebook terms].
As we all know, once reported in SA watch, account mentioned as offender gets vanished in few hours. And i am sure it can be the case with this one. Chris, will you please remove votes from it if possible?

In "How to use this forum" Chris clearly mentioned that "The purpose of the forum is to allow new Indian members to get a feel for how the site works, be guided by others, and eventually graduate to the main programming and discussion forums."
I do not find any thing in that message that helps in graduating towards programming and discussion forums.Had codeproject be a joke publishing site, this message would be an award winning one.
I can remove that SA report if the forum is made for posting jokes.
Thanks
Do not forget to comment and rate the article if it helped you by any means.

Don't you find millions of threads talking about Cricket,Footaball,different Leagues over there? Do you mean all of them should be reported? If so,i think you should go through GIT on regular basis.
I am still not clear why you considered it as spam.

The GIT forum is yours. Reply to the message, discuss the message, report the message - it's up to you.
If it gets closed and you want it reopened I can do that, but your best bet is to discuss this in GIT, not here.
cheers

My Concern was to prevent user from being reported without any offence. I was not able to discuss it in GIT just because there is not a single post from Akhil.

This question was closed as 'Unclear or Incomplete', yesterday. However today someone upvoted my answer (from before it was closed). The funny thing that I can't even see my own answer...

Strange. It shows at my end that it was closed on 14th July. It is 16th Now. How can it be upvoted?
I am curious to know how someone found it..

My question is why did you two mark the question as Not a Question and Spam when it is obviously a valid, although beginner level, question and definitely not Spam?
|
|
|
|
|
There is something wrong here... I did not marked it as no-question or spam. I did downvoted it as a poorly phrased question that need improvements, and if I remember will that downvoting should vanish after OP improved the question.

I just voted a 3 on this article[^] but it counted as a 5. I noticed other people who have voted the article a non-5, yet the count is all 5's!
Hmmm...Maybe I should take advantage of this bug while it lasts.

Your vote of 3 was counted. Our system then look ed it, sniffed it, wrinkled its nose and put it aside for later.
What actually happens is we look at all the votes that are tallied and calculate the mean and standard deviation. If a vote falls out a certain number of sigmas then it won't be included in the final score. However, if others then vote and those votes move the mean so that your vote pops back into range then it's then counted in the final tally.
This was done to alleviate malicious voters messing around with ratings. It's not perfect (I'm still yet to be convinced that's even possible) but it's adaptive.
