We've found the issue and logged a bug. No one but you (and admins) can see the deleted article so go ahead and create a new article. We'll remove the old one soon.

some comments made in the lounge that should be here instead[^].
It is very frustrating to see an article appear in the "new articles" list only hours or even minutes after you have commented at length in a post with a vote, AND reported the article as substandard. It appears that a single gold member can "release" an article to the "new, unedited" state even if others have reported the article and it has several down-votes and comments about low quality (I try to make suggestions for improvement, but sometimes am so appalled that I can't find much positive to suggest). Since the act of approving the article seems to scrub all previous posts and votes, this leaves me with the feeling that I have just massively wasted my time. Some suggestions that would make reviewing seem a more worthwhile activity:
1. If the article is already reported, remove the "make this available button".
2. failing the above, require the "approver" to justify releasing the article.
3. Retain the existing posts and article score until the article has been screened by staff / editors. Don't reset on approval, don't reset on update.
4. instead of marking the "new" article just "unedited", mark it "pending editorial approval" so that we can at least know that a piece of garbage may yet be mortal.

I more or less agree with everything you said but as a quicker-fix how about simply noting next to the "make available" button that the article has been reported as needing work, or some other non-pejorative phrase (in case the report is the problem, not the article, no-one feelings have been hurt)?

Given that thew "makers available" of some of the junk seem not to care that the article has negative comments and suggestions for improvement, I don't see how that would help. Needs a "neutral observer" (or better yet, concerned staff) to decide if the report or the article is the issue. Since the reports are visible only to submitter and staff, It would be interesting to know if frivolous or unfair reports are an issue.

I have another suggestion:
The required number approvals should be somehow based on the number of votes from gold* members, but at least a # of minimum approvals.
Here are some examples:
Approvals required and no votes from any gold members so far: 3
Approvals required and two negative** votes from gold members so far: 5
Approvals required and four negative votes from gold members so far: 7
Approvals required and >= 2 positive*** votes from gold members so far: 1
* = gold member or higher (platinum, ...)
** negative = 1 or 2 vote
*** positive = 3+ vote
Sounds a bit complicated, but I think this system is quite okay, but might still need some tweaking.

I agree, although I am a little concerned about possible abuse.

I hope this isn't a repost, in that case: Sorry for that.
I would really like to have the ability of putting your favourite forums in the Message Boards dropdown, so you wouldn't have to go to the "All Message Boards" page and find the PHP forum, for instance. Also be able to remove those forums you never use from the dropdown.
Or, instead of recoding the Message Boards dropdown:
Adding a "Favourite Forums" dropdown to the menu strip would also be neat.
It would really be awesome if this could be done.
Thanks.
