Unfortunately the spammers aren't a single person nor a single IP range. They are all over the place. blocking an IP or even a range (and how do you guess that range?) simply doesn't work.

You mean move the flag position?

We had this and it was mis-used. Members (even top rep members) reported others and closed other top members' accounts.
Yes, the current system is a little inconvenient when we get a spam storm, but that inconvenience, during the other 99% of the time when there isn't a spam storm, saves a lot of anger.

I accidentally reported twice a question as "off topic" and realized that I got two times 5 points for "same" message.
Of course, I then tried again and yes I have received a third time 5 points ...
Something seems to be amiss;)
Take these 15 points from my reputation, it was only a test.

Sorry for this comment being off-topic, but please do not modify the spam posts in QA. Just report them as spam.

Ok I will follow to your instruction. Any explanation why to do so?
Regards, Bruno
N.B: Is there any reason why CP can not block abusive IP ranges in the same way like wiki do it. Only a question....

Thank you.
Modifying the post messes up the CodeProject spam filter when someone reports it as spam after you have modified it. Chris told us not to modify the spam posts[^]

There's no single spammer or single IP range. IP blocking is not effective. Trust me - we've tried.

The message appears 3 times, but you should only have got 5 points (not sure, but I think it is "patched")

To recieve them is the same as not receiving them. They are just virtual, bring no food, bring no rise of salary, bring no better job...
The only thing they do really bring is morons (rep hunters).

Some one has managed to down vote messages in Lounge also. This was previously reported by Kornfeld.

Hey guys, I am living in Pakistan and we have slow Internet connections available here, ~8mb. Today when I was publishing my article, I missed the category field since this article was saved in a draft for more than 7 days and today I published it.
After publishing and page reloading, it gave me error saying, Please select a category for the article. Would it be a good idea, to control this type of error in the client side? A single code line to check whether the Select has been changed or not would save 20seconds of our time and will be a good UX too.
Thanks,
Do tell me, if my idea is not a good one.

This "article"[^] was the Featured Article on the CP home page a few minutes ago. How is that even possible?

If you look at any article, for instance, this one[^] (randomly selected from the CP Home page), if one tries to access with the URL ending with the ID+'/'[^], it works. But it redirects to his articles if one tries with the URL ending with just the ID[^] i.e. without a '/' at the end.
I don't think this is by design. A bug maybe?
Your time will come, if you let it be right.

This is by design. We have two different routes:
/articles/{articleId}/*{articleSlug} which displays the Article with the articleId
and
/articles/{memberId} which displays the articles for the member with the memberId.

while shortening some article links of this site on MY Site Smal.US then I found some bug in your site
Working URLs
there are 4 normal ways to open every site site excluding https:// and https://www. :
1. codeproject.com
2. www.codeproject.com
3. http://codeproject.com
4. http://www.codeproject.com
these are working well but
when you enter article URL in the form 3 way
for eg. have a look to this link article
http://codeproject.com/Articles/491362/Comparing-Ruby-and-Csharp-Performance
and
https://codeproject.com/Articles/491362/Comparing-Ruby-and-Csharp-Performance
It will redirect to error 404 page instead of article page
this reducing your visit

It's not a bug with CodeProject. CodeProject doesn't have an https version.

Actually, CodeProject pages have a setting which determine if HTTP or HTTPs is required for a page and will redirect to the correct protocol if required.
Pages that handle sensitive user information, such a passwords, all (hopefully) require HTTPS.
|
|
|
|
|
The urls codeproject.com, www.codeproject.com, http://codeproject.com, and http://www.codeproject.com all result in either a redirect or url rewrite (I can't remember which) to http://www.codeproject.com.
This does not happen on other codeproject.com urls as this would result in multiple urls resolving to the same content (articles or messages). That is a bad thing for SEO and Page Ranking.

Chris tells me I am mistaken and that this is a bug to add to my list.
