What it means for me:
- Selection of an old question that is so far in the past, that "should be unnoticed"
- Some kind of tests to automate "copy+paste" and to try bypassing somehow the "paste as" popup

Logical conclusion for me... spam testing.



########################################################################
Now a side note, because it is not the first time it happens lately and, to be honest, I am starting to get a bit tired of this. (If the translator you use doesn't give a good text, tell me. I can write it on german as well).

First of all: I am not angry, nor want to start a discussion with you. I am just being honest and direct (maybe too much, I can admit that) about something that bothers me a bit.

I do respect and share your position that sometimes there are unfair or incorrect reports. I am someone that post "are you sure?" to some reports or I disagree with the reporter. If a report has been discussed and dismissed, I summon @sean-ewington to wipe the reports on the account and/or bring back the item from limbo. If a report have been discussed and there is no consensus about it, I summon @sean-ewington and ask him to have a look and decide as the last responsible. If a reporter of an invalid report doesn't delete the link on the original message, I edit the message and redact it to avoid miss-reportings....

I suppose you get the idea

Ok, I don't know the posted _nonsense_.

If you have had seen it, then I am open to debate if it is "a new user which is not Aware about the consequences? Wink | Wink | ;) "
But if you have not even seen the message as I suppose from what you said (I have reproduced it in this answer and explained why I chose to report it) I only see two options:
1) You trust on my criterion
2) You don't trust on my criterion

If #1 then it is easy, report it.
If #2 then it is easy too, you do nothing (and I would wish, you do really nothing: don't even asking "maybe?")

I hope you understand what I want to tell you and how I actually want to say it.

Thanks for your time.
M.D.V. Wink | ;)

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
