Knowing this, I always make sure there is at least one space so that the line is not removed.

Can we have an ignore list feature so that we can ignore certain users?

You have to have a feature for that? Can't you just ignore them...manually?

Yes, but they clutter up the place.

Part of me thinks this is a good idea, part of me prefers that there isn't a situation where an abusive member is ignored by the people most likely to report him and so is then free to cause havoc to those who haven't ignored him.

I can see where you are coming from.
How about a compromise? For example: If I'm ignoring a particular user then I don't get email notification if they respond to me. I see all their posts as grey. They can't use an email link to send me email. If I happen to be browsing a forum and I see they are up to no good, then I can still report them.

Also, if I see a post by a user I am ignoring, I don't get [reply] [email] etc. links at the bottom of their post - waste of bandwidth really.

Something i've been toying with for a while is a sort of "quick bio" feature, where when you click on a user's name above a post, you get a panel to the right of their post, displaying their ID, post count, article count, etc. (i think you know where this came from). Should such a feature ever be built into CP proper, it might become useful to add something else: user voting.
Votes on a user would effect the initial visibility of future messages posted by them, and would presumably decay towards Neutral over time.
And yes, this is getting into Slashdot territory, but at least voting on a user vs. aggregating post scores avoids directly penalizing users for occasionally posting on controversial subjects, while providing a quick way of recognizing The Voice of Experience in the forums. Assuming it didn't just lead to vendettas. But we're all adults here, right? *snicker*

How does one remove one's self from the CodeProject member list? The delete button seems to be missing.

In response to J4amieC who has since deleted his post:
Why did you respond to him? The more that people respond, the more it fuels his fire. Just ignore him...outright.

There's always been a lot of talk about the merits and the abuses of the voting system as it is currently implemented within CP. I don't know if this would be difficult to implement, but would it be possible to 'personalize' the system such that the rating that I see for an article or message is derived based upon a list of CP users that I supply. In this manner, there would not be one rating for an article, but rather each of us would see different ratings for an article based upon the user list we supplied. Using a system like this, would probably also mean that the weighting based upon a user's status could be eliminated and every one's vote would count equally. One of the negatives of a system like this, is that someone could abuse the system to determine what vote a user has given to an article or message.

We'd need to bring in some really fast, strong hamsters for that kind of heavy lifting. Interesting idea...

The problem is that while it might be useful for a few hundred regulars, and even then I question how many will take the time to setup such a list, the vast majority of readers won't have any idea who to put in such a list, and a CP sanctioned one has major potential to cause fights.

Hi,
New users always complain saying that they cannot find the link to register them self ..
I have no idea, why code project cannot provide that link just next to user name/ password boxes..

If they are a new user, haven't they therefore found said registration link?  This is a rhetorical question.

nope,,, since...
When I say user he can or cannot be registered with code project.
Code Project is not the only place to post a complain.
I got ten fifteen complains from my colleages, so thought to make the suggestion.. isn't this really make sense to go with the common standard.

If they are not registered, then they obviously cannot be a "new user."

Just what exactly is that supposed to mean?

I think it means that Nirosh has sent collegues here and repeatedly had them ask him where the register link was hiding.

Sure they can. Before I registered, I read loads of articles. I considered myself to be a "user" of the site. I didn't register until I wanted to participate in the forums and write articles.

Really,,, Let's define the term "New User", before every thing, but let me also tell you this, it is a good way of running away from the main point.

Mean, that I got some complains via IM and also verbally..

I believe this is to test the persons knowledge of the internet.
It is always very simple to find the registration button at almost any site.
If the site does not have the link next to the login field you simply enter a random user name/password and wait to be provided with a nice little link to the registration form.
