Thank you, but Griff would still be streets ahead of me.

Looks like the compiler is also doing predictions these days.

I agree. Beginning developers should already know how to code.  
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

At least be able to look up syntax, read documentation, and some basics like looping, branching and testing.
Without that knowledge one is merely begging for the right words to "insert" into the existing code. Imagine your surgeons being trained like developers.

I think some people come here brand new, they don't even have that yet. They still deserve respect and help.

Respect, yes; but it would be quite the effort to convey all the beginning-concepts to someone who is writing the next FaceBook. It is also no longer "a question", but rather a "plea for help".
The site focuses on questions, not on introducing concepts to people who never touched a computer.

We have an official set of CP comments for that class of help request.
These are used as links for the answers.
One I would appreciate on this hoped-for list:
You cannot use your smartphone to write proper code - it cannot make up for you being stupid.

Is this normal for people's messages to be flagged for moderation as potential spam, or did I do something that has put me on some sort of blacklist? It's kind of annoying as from what I can tell, I have not ever tried to advertise anything on here.
|
|

|

Well, not sure what message you're referring to so not enough context.
As to whether it's normal... wouldn't say normal but it happens. There is a voting system though so you'd have to get flagged by multiple users for a message to be removed. Not sure what it takes to get booted though.

Just today, I did "This week's survey" about being a game programmer, and posted an answer to one of the discussions in there. Basically the answer was a "yeah I used to do that too!" kind of answer, which got flagged for moderation. Then I posted my own discussion giving a little detail about the kind of work I used to do as a game programmer, which also got flagged. As far as I know, I did not use any language that might imply spam or anything inappropriate.

If you're not actually spamming, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

The ones I saw seemed OK, so I let them through.

Let me tell you a secret. In order avoid yourself from getting caught by send filters, you need to do this:
- Send 1 metric ton of hamster food to CP headquarters.
- Send a bottle of gin to Nagy.
- Send another bottle to OG.
- Send pie to PIEBALDConsult.
- Send me cash so I can spend it at local micro-brewery.
- And last but not the least, hang a poster of Sean in his beloved attire at your workplace.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

It is nothing personal...
There is an automatic spam filter, that scans every messages - regardless who posts it. Sometimes it catches non-spam messages too...
Fortunately the filter lack of self confident, so every message goes to human review and signed as spam or not...
If you message signed as not-spam it released to the public and no harm done... In addition the filter learns better for the next time...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I'm ok with messages going to moderation. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't unintentionally doing something that was making my messages appear evil to the spam filter lol

We'll have your name put on the list.

Is that the little list, or the list that was checked twice?
