I think Chris has gone a long way to proving that we can live quite happily without the voting system.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

I would still want to have 'upvotes' to see and mark good posts. Upvotes helps in selective reading.

Possibly. Personally I rarely look at the score of any posts.

It's not the score, it's color of the good posts that makes it easy to find and see.

Not really for me, as I am red-green colorblind.

Well the colour gives an indication of its score, so it's the same issue.

Agree.
But, with a small difference - Because of color, I don't have to open each and every message to see if it is marked good by number of people.

I enjoy the speculation but the reason the voting was disabled was purely a load issue. I've not had a chance (thanks to the spammers) to make the fix that will re-enable voting.
However, it has been an interesting exercise. When re-instated it will be different than it was.

PEDANT ALERT
You cannot reinstate something different, merely instate (and I would prefer institute rather than instate, although induct could also be used).

I can reinstate ratings. I can make them slightly different though. There will still be ratings.
Or if you want a more precise statement, then: I can just turn 'em back on, more or less, after mucking around with 'em for a bit.

Yes, that sounds much better.

Excuse my late response to your post, Sir David of Dalek (don't know how I missed it), but I think you make a very cogent, useful, relevant proposal.

regardless of the number of times I attempt to confirm my email address hsmyers@gmail.com nothing happens. no email shows up---nothing---nada---zilch. i really dislike the various messages you display for those in this situation. please fix...

Maybe it is not CP at fault.
Maybe your/your isp's spam filters are blocking the email(s) from CP?
If you have notifications turned on, do you get any messages from CP? e.g. notification that I have replied to your message.
This is a test of the notifications...

Got your private email message.
See if the notifications work now! Sending ..........click

Dave is there a way to do the equivalent of a trace route on the confirmation email. I use gmail and can view my spam folder as well as the new message folder and as far as I can tell I'm not getting the confirmation request. In lieu of that perhaps you could just manually throw the switch that says 'email confirmed'?

Does seem odd that you are not getting anything through.
Start another message in Sugs and Bugs and explain this again. Chris might request you email him directly so he can respond directly to verify your email address.

There are around 50 spam messages posted by a member.
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Messages.aspx?fmid=9716472&fid=0[^]
The member has been nuked. Can any of the admins please delete these messages as it could take a while for these messages to be removed by reporting it.
Also it would better if there would be a option to delete/edit a message from a forum just like we can delete/Edit questions or answers in the QA forum.

It is already there with certain member with administrative rights.

It might be better if more people had permission to edit/delete messages with increasing spam in the site. For instance MVPs cannot edit/delete posts, if they had the ability to alter the posts, the spam messages may be removed a little more quickly.
