Well said. I started out in the forums as a way of thanking those who I had learned from in the articles. Oh, and to have my massive ego stroked.

Maybe the evolution of the site just followed the evolution of society in general. I *hate* people who keep stating "it was better before", but I reckon that I had to use this sentence a lot recently. I don't feel good about it.

Everything was better before.
Mainly because the memory distorts the truth, things used to be new and exciting, and everyone has a natural (often unconscious) revulsion to aging.
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

It wasn't necessarily better. It was just different.

Every 6 months, without fail, since 2000, we have the "it was better before". The conversation is exactly the same.

But those complaints were better in the old days.

I blame the rep points on the falling standards of complaints.

Hey, I am only carrying on the tradition.

No, no, no... that's too obvious!

This may be a little confusing -
I used to have an account with my work email. I disabled that account and went with my personal email instead. I wanted to switch the daily/weekly newsletter emails to my work email and I got an error because that account already exists. When trying to change my old work email account password it said my account could not be found. How can I permanently disable my old work email account, or would I be able to access it again?
Thanks,
David

Can you please email me (chris at codeproject) the old work email address to which you'd like to switch your current account to?

Some one marked this message[^] as spam/abusive but it's not. And lost 20. Actually he(Platinum debator) was down-voting my posts regularly(couple of months back) & I think he's back from vacation.
Here my suggestion is Mark the post as spam or abusive(reduce -20) when more than one user reported otherwise just reduce the debator points(which is regular action).

Not a bad idea...

I disagree. Inappropriate posts can be buried within article forums and only seen by the author. I know of several very specific cases where a member went on an abusive spree but only the individual authors were aware.

Just let me tell you that if the one downvoting you is platinum member than it's not the one who reported your post. Your post is reported by a new member. I faced the same thing[^], you see. If platinum member reports your post, you'll get -160, which DD is recently shouting about.

Oh, I didn't know that.
Thank you.

I came here to ask about the four waiting in the moderation queue. The latest one is quite decent, it seems unlikely that the author made a mistake with the category. Looks like some bug spray might come in handy...
