I had to switch to desktop mode to see the subject textbox completely. On mobile mode its width is 0. (Using Windows Phone 8 on Nokia Lumia 720)
The signature is in building process.. Please wait...

Some (silly) users post their (or others) email in discussions occasionally.
Now, usually OriginalGriff would post a warning on such a behaviour, but crawlers are usually able to pick up the original message till (and if) the users edits those.
What you could do is replace a raw email.
One possible solution is to replace the '@' char with a small gif that looks the same.
It is a paradox that paradoxes would actually exist in reality.
That means of course that they don't exist.
However, they do!

I'm actually of the mind that protecting emails is now a pointless exercise. You are on spam lists. Even if you created a new email account today, it's on a spam list, somewhere.
We will continue to hide email addresses out of courtesy, but if someone posts their email address in a question then first, it won't make a huge difference to their spam, and secondly there's a point at which a person needs to take responsibility for their own actions. If they choose to post their email address then that's their perogative.
The biggest issue I see with posting your address is that you implicitely invite others to send you unsolicited emails, such as requests for help or for code. Many people truly do invite the world to ask them questions, many don't. I leave it as an exercise for the members as to which they prefer.

What if a question validator would auto switch the @ so that it doesn't get published in the first place
OR
you could popup a "dude, are you crazy?" following Griff's copy paste for these cases explaining just why it's not a good idea etc.

As Chris says, people need to take responsibility for their actions. Life is full of risks, learn to deal with it.

THE main purpose of CP as I see it the logo states, is to help those who code.
So searches for problems are the face of this site.
There are far too many of terrible titles around, e.g.:
need a help for my Final year project[^]
javascript help php help[[^]
Once a valid question is answered and is deemed as useful and educational.
I think the Title should be reviewed by a CP professional, those Qs can be marked for Title editing/approval and be handled by the elderly CPers.

It is already possible. The same privilege that grants us the editing of the question or answer, allows us to edit the Title and/or the Tags of the question.
The main question is... how many of those questions which had such a title are actually good?

I know it's possible,
what I am suggesting is that it will be tagged as pending for us to pick up after recognized as such.
Some Qs are actually pretty good, and might just "go below the radar" for searches, and could thus be "saved from oblivion" by the editing CPer.
Other Qs who are trash, will be deleted by the CPer.
If Chris throws in a couple of points for doing this, it would probably be answered with thrill by the gang, don't you think?

Given the number of repeated "How to" and "I want" questions, I don't think the search feature is used that much, especially by the people who should be using it.
Use the best guess

It's a pity having so much trash around when something can be done about it though

You cannot prevent people from being lazy or stupid. Even when you tell people to check Google before posting, many of them never bother. There is a member here who regularly posts questions without proper details despite my asking every time. How do you get such people to learn without insulting them?
Use the best guess

And who is going to sit there and revise "pending" titles all day?
Can you think of a more gutty, boring, tedious and above all pointless job, given that nobody seems to use the search facility anyway?
And what's this with the "handled by the elderly CPers" bit? Would this be because we are no use for anything else?

I think if there were to be a category of Masterpiece Articles it would really help a lot of users.
Articles that explain in depth, easy to understand even for beginners, are full of self explanatory images (... you get the picture) should be marked as such (by those authorized to by CP admins), and as such will be available for browsing in their category link.
Many coders would love to have the great articles singled out for them to save the time and pain in searching or digging into "the wrong" article.

First of all... I see your point. But...
Each person is different by learning or understanding things. An article that for you is a masterwork could be a piece of crap for other, no matter if newbie or having a deeper knowledge in that subject.
I don't want to say that is a bad idea, I am just saying that it can be not so easy and it could be a very tedious work for the CP-Staff.
On the other hand... you can already pin-point the good articles (at least the ones written a while ago) using the popularity, votes and numbers of downloads. Socketpuppeters try hard to improve their rep or their articles, but they can not compite with really good articles.

Just wondering if the RSS is fetched off a cache? Perhaps that needs to be flushed?

When I go to the home page, the weekly poll doesn't appear.
Why? Is it because there's a lot of spam on the text answers[^]?

Hi,
Normally, an account should be closed with 5 reports IIRC. But sometimes an account is only closed after the 6th or 7th report, instead of after the 5th report.
Is this by design or a bug?

|
|

Yep - easy non-code fix. Will deploy soon.
(Even though I despise the use of auto name = "My name";. Lazy!  )

The use of auto is more impactful when using it with STL containers. It's way easier to do auto it = coll.begin() than to use the potentially long (and unreadable) typename of the iterator, specially when it adds little meaning to your code to see the type there.
