0) Don't delete question if you have an option
1) It's possible that you would come up with your own answer so be ready to post it once you ready
2) If you don't get answer for a day or two, just update(even minor) your question with additional details if possible. Atleast add a space a space & update question so now question will come to top of active questions list[^]. Because you shouldn't post duplicate questions as you could use existing question to follow-up by updating it
4) Also search Q/A section(also web) with matching keywords.

Don't do that. "Bumping" your question is extremely rude, and likely to be considered abuse.

Agree but it's still better than posting a duplicate question IMO. If I don't get answer for a question for couple of days, I'll make minor changes. 'Space' thing just for newbies if they don't have anything to update question.
In past I remember that a guy posted duplicate questions more than bunch of times within a week.

Who updated it, and is now what I wonder?

It's on a need-to-know basis.

We've been talking about this today. I'm going to see how hard it is to implement something that will at least allow us to spot them easier.

This will be no problem since we'd scan on creation and edit.
Thank you so much, guys. You're doing an amazing job.

Hi @Chris,
I may be completely wrong here but want to know if any automated program can create such accounts or we have sufficient guards to prevent such attacks?
What made me think so:
--Profiles names seems to be picked from a set of software names along with version
--Member ids are continuous in most of the cases
--No activity has been noticed from these users, mostly
Regards, Suvendu

I been thinking what went wrong behind the scene, been debating myself, maybe missing antiforgerytoken or captcha or something that allow the adversary to replay the action. Send them some hamsters!!!

We do have mechanisms in place, but it's a game of cat and mouse

. . . only in it for the rep points ? . . .

Just spotted this by following the In Progress thread.
Were you implying that the only reason I report spammers is to collect that 1 rep point per message?
Because that really is funny 
P.S. As a site "Protector" I sort of try to, you know, protect the site.

I don't know I am the only one who is facing an issue, Sometimes I am logging out automatically if I didn't log out

Happens sometimes when e.g. one clears the browser history, at least that's my experience.

Obvious it will log out if I will clear history of a browser, But in my case, I am experiencing frequent log out without clearing a history

I had it this morning: I reloaded five pages from CP with F5 and one of them - the lounge - needed me to sign back in again. The other four didn't. At the time, I assumed it was a glitch on my side.
