Sorry. Thanks.

It seems to me that a lot of automatization took place when choosing and categorizing the articles for monthly contest - too lot maybe...
1. The category...For instance my article wen to the C# category (I believe because it has a C# tag as the code sample in C#), but it is definitely NOT a C# article but something about design so it may go to the 'else' category...
2. Articles of poor quality (or uncomplete) are on the list, sometimes the article has a lot of votes from people that clearly do not understand the problems with those articles.
To keep CP quality not only you should hand out prizes to quality articles, but let into the final such ones...I think a bit more human intervention will do good...

I know that I can edit it on a post-by-post basis. But where is the link to edit the "permanent" signature? I've searched all through my profile and cannot find it.

Some interesting mathematics in there.

More than mathematics , there may be some more interesting Logic in some Article related to Hacking or something (I don't have one as an example,but have reported too many in past). If we allow this, i would say we should surely allow that ones also as its more related to programming than this one.

I don't see what you are objecting to; the program is about calculating the odds on a bet. Whether you agree with gambling or not it is quite reasonable for a blog. And since it has nothing to do with hacking I don't see the connection with your last statement.

There is programming involved. That you don't like the "problem" the programming is about is irrelevant.

ok, fair enough. But I say

No difference with a lot of articles here. Plus it starts with a disclaimer !
Drug dealers could use an online database with a C# frontend to handle how drug packages are delivered in which part of the world, but this is no reason to censor the C# and the database section on codeproject...

How is well described, clearly written code that includes a full walkthrough of the concepts and comes with unit tests useful to those learning to code?
Hmm - let me count the ways...

The list of options for reporting an article is being chopped off by the edge of the browser window under the "fluid" layout. (Screenshot[^])

No - it happens when the browser is maximized, and I'm on a 1080p screen.

"Your email address is either unconfirmed, or has not been reconfirmed in a long time which means we can't send you forum reply notifications. Please click here to have a confirmation email sent so we can confirm your email address." 
I don't have any idea why a "reconfirmation" should be necessary. I hereby confirm that the email address I signed up with is still mine.
Good enough?

It's important to check the email address every now and then. The site has only limited amount of ink so wasting ink on mails that do not find the reader makes no sense.
To ensure that we do not run out of characters (because of running out of ink) we've acquired a load of baby squids. However, as you understand, since they are babies (small) the amount of ink they can produce is very limited. So in short your help is appreciated so that we don't need to be bothering baby squids all the time.

Your response might be considered funny, but not very helpful. 
Still waiting for some sort of enlightenment from the gate keepers.
As if my word that it's still valid and good isn't good enough. 
Still waiting for a meaningful response!
Cheers!
P.S.: A really good reason why this is absolutely necessary would help!
I've had this email address for about two decades and see no reason why I should have to confirm it.

Ok, this is getting ridiculous! You now insist on me confirming my email address before I can post in any other fora than this.
Why? Why? Why?
I've seen the messages in my inbox just dying for me to click that confirmation link, but I still don't see any reason behind it.
Please explain!

I'm not able to find the post at the moment, but I have a faint memory that it was "needed" to reconfirm the emails for the new spam filter.

a) We only send mail to email addresses that we know are real email addresses. Sending to addresses that aren't real addresses gets you blacklisted as a spammer.
b) We only allow participants in forums who have confirmed email addresses so that (i) it's harder to sign up with fake addresses and go crazy, and (ii) so we know we can contact members in case of abuse.

Unfortunately no. Did you click the link to have a confirmation email sent to you? Let me resend one to you just in case.
cheers
