I'll add a clear marker to differentiate non-sponsored from sponsored.
The issue is that no matter what we do, new and casual readers will still be potentially misled by anything posted within an article. We can have an "official sponsored article" badge and all that, but unless a reader has actually seen that in action they won't know what to look for.
The best defence here is you guys: you spot something wrong, you report and nuke. You're way better at this, collectively, than we or our systems can ever be.
cheers

But new and casual readers aren't likely to be looking at articles in the moderation queue.

Sponsored or promoted items never appear in the moderation queue.

touche!
You don't happen to remember the title or URL do you?
As a rule, no one other than admins can post sponsored content, so anything with that warning should be reported. If one of us messed up the posting and it entered the pending queue then you are within your rights to point and laugh at us.

It was this one:
Zeroing the Center of a CompositeTransform[^]
Which is weird, because that's now showing as a blog post.

If you have a look to the versions... I suppose Sean, Chris or Deeksha already corrected it from the very beginning. All versions are done by CP Staff

I don't get notifications anymore when someone replies to my messages. I mean this red number icon/flag.
Is it a thing of profile settings?
Btw: "Send me an e-mail when someone replies to my messages" is unchecked, because I don't like to have it as mail.
E.g. this where OP replies correctly https://www.codeproject.com/Questions/5247812/How-to-load-a-pdf-file-inside-a-form-using-Csharp but I did not receive any notification.
[Edit]
One thing more, I do not find this message in the "rep list" which I usually use to navigate here
Thanks in advance.
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

I was re-reading a question of mine[^] and the answer / comments on it, when I noticed a "that shouldn't be like that"
AFAIK (and in other questions of mine is like this), the green background comes with a red button "reject this solution", and the standard background with the green button "accept solution"
Green background and green button... it shouldn't be like that.

If you look closely, there are two different "Green backgrounds":
The darker green is an "Accepted" solution, the lighter green is a "Good" solution, based on purely on the number of "Star Votes" (I think it's "three 5's == light green", but don't quote me on that, I haven't had my coffee yet).

I noticed that I have an article in my reading list. I haven't bookmarked it or anything else so how can I get rid of it?
|
|
|
|
|
|
I found the article from "My Bookmarks", removed it and now the reading list is gone.
Not sure what happened since I don't recall bookmarking that article 
And I do have other bookmarks but that was the only one shown in the reading list. Perhaps only new ones are shown...

Same here, I found it in the bookmarks. Removed it and my reading list is empty again. Looks like Error 40 - the problem is 40cm in front of the screen 
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

Yep, but what happens if you bookmark any article?
Perhaps only new bookmark items are shown in the reading list.
