Ah ha... Thank you, sir. That did indeed do the trick.
(Sorry for the dumb question.)

Don't worry. I had that issue once as well. And that question reappears occasionally

We need to be able to enter a spam busting mode, where we have checkboxes, so that we can check many messages at once that we need to be able to mark as spam.
At the moment there are 56 messages in the uncategorized forum that takes what feels as ages to mark as spam.

Send an message like this and one of us admins can delete all the messages from the offending member in one shot.

Yes, of course we can do that, but I thought one of the points with having protectors is to take the load off you.

Done.

Now that's fast.
And I already tested it, there seems to be a problem with updating the page after pressing the reject button. But when going back to the main page the spam is gone.

Does it work in QA ?

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?
