This ad should now be fixed. Please let us know if you're still experiencing problems or encounter the same problem with another ad. Thanks!

Still getting it, now it pops up 4x instead of 3. IE7. FF just does not show the ad.

Is it just this ad or are other ads not showing for you either?

The links look very similar, but It never ends up displaying the ad to verify visually.

Is not working the way you intended. 10 articles this morning were either blank, substandard, "a question posted as an article" or plaigerized and every one of them were approved.
My suggestion would be in the drop down for "report article", add an item for "report invalid approval" and then demote the member to silver status so they can't participate in the approval process.

I'm recording who is approving each article so it's just a matter of going over the patterns and removing the voting rights of members who simply don't care.
Plagarism is another matter: an article may look well written and hence be approved and this is by design. We're looking to stop the absolute rubbish, and will then allow the general readership to continue the normal reporting of things like plagarism

Sorry, it was just part of my example. Plagiarism can only really be caught by those of us that take the time to weed it out. Those will fall through the approval. Glad to hear that you're tracking the members that don't care about the integrity of this site! Thanks.

Hi Chris,

very good. Now make this known by putting it next to the approval button. That may help a
little.
Furthermore: can't you automatically screen incoming articles for some sentences from the
boilerplate article, and when 2 or more are found in the submission, just throw it in the bin?
That would take care of a lot of those meaningless entries, and relieve the approval queue.

How would this help? You would see a random name, but how would that actually help? We have thousands and thousands of Gold members.
A better solution is that I'm tightening up the definition of 'Gold'

Knowing their name will be public when people approve an article, may make them think twice.
New suggestion: having no approval after N views could be handled as a permanent reject.

You can adapt the rules, and require a number of articles and/or messages,
and/or a mimimum average article ranking, or something similar; that makes a lot of sense
since patience alone seems sufficient to get gold status.
But you should not "change definitions". Definitions are meant to be constant, they make
our vocabulary. Gold is inert, whatever you do, it should remain gold. Don't install
aqua regia showers.

great. please go for it. close the gates to those silly articles ASAP.

Yes! Everyday, I use my new iPhone to visit the site whenever I am away from a computer.
It is ok on WiFi networks but slow on edge.

Ah. Can you do me a favour and visit this page[^] with your iphone and send me what it spits out? I'll update the browser config to auto-detect the iPhone.
Alternatively if anyone wants to donate an iPhone to me in for research purposes then I'm happy to take on that burden...
