I don't see it.
Where is it ? Am I allowed to use it as a simple member ?

We had almost 182 spam messages there in Moderation queue. I reported almost 100 post as spam one by one. It would be nice if we can have mark all as spam option there in QA/Message moderation.

But the problem is that maybe not all of them are spam. I'd like checkboxes though to avoid a roundtrip for every click.

Yes it may be the case,but in this case all of them were spam and its very difficult and time consuming to report all of them one by one.

That would also work.

Maybe just automatically delete any pending messages as soon as the member that posted them has been booted?

Great Idea!

Unfortunately I'm not willing to risk accidentally marking a user's post as spam.

... to automatically (and completely) remove the automatically removed messages?
I can see messages in the Lounge that were posted about 2 hours ago and have been removed now, but they are still showing up in the forum.
You have just been Sharapova'd.

When there is a big dump of spam onto CP (like right about NOW with the Korean spam) if I go through the messages and flag them, and then go back to the (for example) Q/A list and there appears to be more there's no indication to me that I have already flagged an item when I "Next" through the list again. It'd be nice to know that I've already flagged "this one" (and possibly all of the recent other spams) so I can try to keep up without spending time flagging ones I've already done.
I suspect this is difficult with multiple servers and caching.

Why not: If a user gets multiple postings flagged as Spam and closed in a relatively short time then automatically declare the user as a spammer and handle as if the user received sufficient spammer flags to be clobbered.
Perhaps something like 3 closed in 5 minutes, 5 in 30 minutes, 10 in an hour.
This would help slow down the spam build up in the hours when there are fewer members on who actually try to fight this battle.

First of all, thanks and congratulations for introducing FLAIRs in CodeProject.
But I am having problem displaying that in my blog as wordpress.com doesn't support iframes for security reasons. As there are many users who have their blogs in wordpress.com, if the issue can be resolved then it would help me and those users who wants to show the flair in their wordpress.com blogs.
Please let me know if there is any workaround.

all ads with pictures of people (or other animals) on them?

I'd have to put that in the way too hard basket.
What would actually be really, really cool is if we could tag all ads with attributes, and you get to choose what you want to see and not want to see. +C# +SQL +MVC +Fluffy-kittens -Grumpy-Developers kind of thing.
That would rock.

What you'd probably end up with is a bunch of people setting -Everything
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I changed my Logon Email under my Settings yesterday. Now I have a little red 1 up by my user name (notifications) and when I hover it says I need to confirm my email address. There isn't a place in settings to confirm my email address and I haven't received an email at either my old or new address to confirm it. I checked junk folders and spam filters and there isn't anything in there either. I can't vote any more because it says I have to confirm my email address. I'm sure there are other things I can't do as well, but I haven't tried much. Please tell me how to fix this.

The reply box I used to see, perhaps last week and for years, spanned most of the browser window and provided text formatting buttons.
The reply box I am seeing to today, right now as I type this response:
1. The input box only spans about half the browser.
2. Doesn't have have the formatting buttons
3. Has an absolutely useless 'help' link to the right of the response button with a single line which links to a page about emoticons. As if there were not already millions of sites already that provide help about that.

Highly bizarre - I'm seeing the correct Reply box here - the one you are used to seeing. What browser, version, OS are you using and what box is being shown (look at the bottom left, below the Advertise | Privacy | Mobile links - I see Web03).

Can you email me (chris at codeproject) the results of this page[^].

I think I'm seeing a very similar problem in Firefox 42 / Windows 10 - the emoticon list has been replaced with a single unclickable  emoticon, and a non-wrapping "Click here to view the range of emoticons available" message.

That's better! 
I was just about to change my user agent - replacing the final "42.0" with "41.0" looked like it would do the trick.

The issue was our useragent detection was out of date and not flexible enough. We have backup parsing that generates a "it's probably X" and stores a placeholder record until we can update it, but a secondary problem was that once the new data was in place the old placeholder record for FireFox42 was not being purged from the cache.
Kicked, yelled at, restarted. All good.

Still doing it right at the moment. Unlike the other respondent the emoticon does have a clickable link.
