Can you relax the rules a tad on the Free Tools forum, and allow images in posts? I think it would be very helpful to show a screenshot of the tool being recommended.

Yesterday I post one answer in VC++ forum
Unique GUID Problem..[^]
My answer is automatically deleted. What I said is not wrong but some one downvote me.
My answer is
Unique ID is a 32 bit hexadecimal string and unique combination that is being created is 2 raise to 128. It is randomly created and not possible to create the same number twice.
I am using COM component for last 5 year and not facing any issue regarding GUID.
Only 1 downvote and the message is deleted.
May be the reason is I write "not possible" but it does not mean that it should be deleted.
I just want to know the reason of deletion.

Yeah, not just yours one of the other answers got deleted too. Someone with deletion rights got carried away and deleted two of the answers. You can request one of the admins here to un-delete it for you. Or post it again as a new answer (do mention that the original got deleted).

That's not correct.

I'm not sure, but based on your reply I think the question deleted. Already I put a thread for this[^].

When one of the bugs was ocurring with "Q&A comments not appearing", I had a hard time trying to gauge what just happened after deleting a comment that was posted as a solution (not this specific post, it was a different one).
The webpage was acting really funny so I finally gave up, maybe this happened at that time as well, someone was trying to do something and accidentally deleted the post. I know I ended up confused as heck with that bug.

Hi Nish,
Thanks  As per comments I think that it is a bug in CP.

Hi Sean,
There is one more issue in it. The answer is added but again my 16 point is lost. That's not fair.

I noticed this twice when briefly changing my display name, but after entering a name it showed as taken until I pressed the left arrow key at which point it updated to indicate that it was unique.
3x12=36
2x12=24
1x12=12
0x12=18

0.)Is there a time-out on reports, as it is quite feasible some of the more outspoken veterans on here could accumulate 5 reports over a space of time and be unfairly deleted.
1.)It looks like you can report yourself.

0) Good question and there should be if there isn't...
1) Well don't.

But it is like a big red button that says 'Don't Touch', I really want to.

Not to mention doing so would tell you how many times you've been reported by others.

I wish you hadn't told me that, the curiosity was to much and I reported myself for Trollish/abusive behaviour  . I had one report already, which fat_boy admitted too, and now it is two.
Which raises the question, if I now reach the threshold of reports needed and my account gets deleted, will that mean my self-report also gets deleted thus bringing me back below the threshold, which will then re-activate my account and my self-report so will delete my account, which will cancel the report so activate my account....and so on. Leaving me in the void for eternity???  I need to sit down.

I have the same problems with big red buttons that that you know you shouldn't hit!

Thats why I don't travel on trains anymore, I use to always pull the red chain and because the fine was £20 in the 70's and never increased, by the mid-eighties it was almost worth the money.

0. No. We watch what's happening, though, and if a member's account is closed then we can reopen it
1. Thanks - fixed.

I have come across a number of spammers today, all posting junk messages; either a line of emoticons or random characters. This one[^] in particular looks a bit like a bot, given the number of messages sent to me last night.
