This is an incorrect link.

I though it probably was. I wasn't sure whether the cdn.codeproject.com DNS record is resolving to the wrong address, or whether it shouldn't exist at all?

In 'View Stat' in Articles/Tips.
When a Download file gets updated, its history just gets killed.
Is it normal behavior ?
Is there a way around ?

This may be by design.

Hi I just updated an article/tip which almost doubled (now about 30k), Added the 'Game of Life' part.
RLE: The Human Friendly Compression[^]
Reputation FAQ says that there should be 25 reputation points as Editor, but I see none.
Did I missed something ?

The Editor points are for editing other author's articles. It for our editors and sub-editors. I'll have the wording updated.
Point for articles are awarded on posting, but these are really just a nominal amount. Article points are gained through upvotes, downloads of code, and bookmarking of the article.

Ok, just fine for me, just the FAQ do not say "other author's articles".

I can't find where is the link to click for editing another author's article.
How is it done ?

If you do not have sufficient points then it is not available to you. Look at your reputation settings on your home page.

No, I said look at your reputation or privileges settings on your home page. That is where it shows what privileges you have, and what you are allowed to do.

Just had a look at privileges.
looks like not a minimum reputation needed, but looks like a special status (protector ...) is needed.

Protector's can edit articles (I think) but also authors of articles have the ability to set what level of member can edit their article. Most members leave that on the default setting, which is Editor. But you can probably edit this one:

Greetings Kind Regards May I suggest the spam filter utilized on this fine site may be a bit dodgy as its' rate of success in my case is zero percent My posts are frequently identified as potential spam I have no idea why They are ultimately permitted It would be interesting educational and perhaps useful if the filter would provide reasons for its' decisions and those presented to the poster Even though the posts are ultimately permitted I still feel a bit insulted to be identified as such Also I do not wish to trouble the human who has the unfortunate task of performing the review Perhaps the filter can be replaced w/ one of higher quality or adjusted in some manner I would be curious as to the identify of the filter and the technology it utilizes - Cheerio

Greetings Kind Regards I am not sure how the message you kindly referred me to has a bearing re/ my concerns questions or requests As for the automated system doing a pretty good job my experience as I have stated is just the opposite Publishing its' performance statistics might be helpful for such like me who have little confidence in it One benefit of the post of OriginalGriff is I obtained from it the vague impression moderators do not mind the task If that is the case I will tolerate the automated systems' almost constant errors in my case which will probably include this one as well Best Wishes - Cheerio

If you understand anything about AI systems, then you must know they are far from infallible. As OG says, the automated system does a tolerably good job, but it still sees things that are only marginally spam-like, and errs on the side of caution. Had you been around at the time when the site was being bombarded with hundreds of spam messages in an hour, you would see that the system is vital to the health of the site.

The filter watches and the filter learns.
If you can point me to some messages that were flagged I can take a look and see what triggered the filter.

That message appears to be nothing more than a link and your signature. I would have though it was fairly obvious why the spam filter would throw that one to the moderators.

Yes, you can - if you know the details.
The idea of moderation is to prevent dodgy messages becoming generally visible, and the automated system does a pretty good job of detecting possible spam (which can involve a heck of a lot of factors) then passing it to a human for review and the final decision on "permit" or "destroy".
And you have accidentally triggered it's deliberate paranoia, so it is "watching you" and will continue to until enough messages have been approved by humans to appease the beast.
Don't worry, we are normally pretty quick - but it's a Sunday in Summer so most moderators are not at work and are doing other things ("getting a life" in some cases) and that means it's a little slower than usual.
And you'll be away from moderation soon.
