Not sure. Don't know what deletation means.
Sorry, of course now you're going to want your account removed even more so.

Just submit some spam and you'll see your account get closed real fast.

Specifically, why can't I use *italic* and **bold** like the "Markdown tips" suggest. It's super painful to write the proper tags, or even break away from keyboard to click the buttons.
Not gonna lie, I didn't read the whole article, so may have overlooked some caveats?

Have you ticked the "Use Markdown formatting" box?

I saw this on another site which has forums:
Dive bar -- Use this forum to discuss politics, religion, or anything else you think may be disturbing to other members' sensitivity. If you want to participate, ask for entry from adminstrators.

A better option would be a "Shouting into the void" box that lets you type in your rant, press "submit", and then the message is thrown away never to be seen again.

Good luck to them.
The original idea was to be a pressure release but all it seemed to do was encourage people to be actively nasty at one another. It went from Rant About the World to a Troll Pit.
It was truly disappointing.

I think just put "soapbox" back, but make it a link to an external social platform.

There was a private soapbox group used by people who were unhappy with prior attempts to moderate the public one; but apparently Chris pulled the plug on it at the same time as the main soapbox.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing 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?

When clicking trough all the still alive spammers that Griff posted yesterday, I have the problem that I don't know if I have already reported the user or not.
Could we have an indicator telling us if we have already reported a spammer or not?
It would make quite a difference in time spent I believe.

How do you propose that this work? Maybe I'm missing something, because what I do is
- Open the members' pages in new tabs (now I have 25 new tabs)
- Navigate to the one on the far right (have to use ">" because there are too many tabs)
- Click on the "spam" flag
- ^W to close the tab, which reveals the next tab, and back to step 3
Seeing an icon so that I don't have to click wouldn't save much time.

Maybe by just letting the "visited link" format to be applied in S&A posts?

This is my workflow:
- Right click and Open the members' pages in new tabs (usually ten at a time)
- ctrl tab to the next tab
- Check if it's a legitimate spammer, (yes I do this, that's why we need ten hits)
- If it's legitimate spam, Click on the report flag, move the mouse and click the "Spam" button on the "popup", otherwise close tab (and miss the bloody button every tenth time requiring me to re-aim on the flag and mutter some bad words
 ) - ctrl tab to the next tab and repeat steps above
- Start over from the beginning, check which tabs have ten reports and strike them from the post
- Close remaining tabs
- Repeat from the beginning
Seeing if I have already reported a post would allow me to close the tab at step two already.

1) Mouse wheel click opens it in a new tab automatically
2) When all opened, CTRL+TAB to next one
3) Whatever I do, report or not... CTRL+F4 to close it
4) Next Tab comes active automatically. Go to #3
5) Mentally count the tabs while closing them, to see if the total matches the SAOTD post.
I would like to have it to avoid re-reporting in the "still alives" to see if the account gets nuked or not or when reports get crossed.
Or if I missclick one (see #5) of the SAOTD and have to search for it again, now it is a re-report all acounts to hit the missed one.

From the lounge:
It is repeatable if you open the messages in sequence from the top.

What if you opened them from the bottom? Does that fix it?
(OK, OK, I'll add it to the bug list!)
[Edit: I can't replicate it. I'm on the same browser, too.  ]

Interesting - I just tried it again, and get the problem. But ... only if I tap each message in sequence, the keyboard moves don't show the line at all.
Ah! It doesn't give an error with the mouse either - only on a touchscreen tap.
If I mouse, the line is correct, but only there while I hover the mouse. With tap, it's permanently there and wrong.
That's on a Win 10 Surface 3 Pro BTW
