There is another spam wave by asiatic spammers, when the articles get the 5 reports, they remain as
"This is an auto-saved draft copy of the new unpublished article created by the submission wizard. You can either discard this draft or continue to work on it."
as it would be possible to re-animate articles in this status, we (@OriginalGriff and myself in this moment) are deleting the drafts manually.
I think it would be better that spam nuked items get deleted in all its versions (including the auto saved drafts).
In case of a wrongly nuked item, CP staff can bring it back to life anyways.

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.

There's a danger in auto-nuking anything.
Imagine a person is composing an article and they have spent a ton of time, but they get the tone wrong and are considered a spammer. They rely on our system to backup their work. They publish their article and continue making lots of changes, but their browser crashes. In the meantime their article is considered spam and their article, their account, and their drafts are nuked. It was a mistake on their part and now they've lost work.
We prefer to remove drafts after a certain period of time. I wouldn't bother cleaning them up (though thanks for doing this) because the spammers just create new articles instead of resurrecting old ones.

and unable to reach any of the member pages.

I think the CP admins can solve this much more efficient than we can. And basically this should be their job, not ours

...finally I am no longer worried about the 4.97 just because one out of twenty has assigned a 4 instead of 5

You can start worrying about that 4/5 again

I think there need to have some sort of captcha or something to prevent replay attack on the registration page[^] . I'm able to register at least 5 users [start with Soyabean] using Fiddler, just modify my username then submit. I'm sure someone out there already been exploring this vulnerability by registering many accounts. Please look into it.
Some Example:
Are these username generated by the system[^]

There is a hyphen in Chris-Maunder if you want to attract his attention.
But ... it shouldn't be necessary here, I think he gets automatically notified of any new threads here; certainly, he checks here regularly.

Thanks . look like the adversary already injected thousands of fake account into the system already (that my speculation).

Which is odd, because the names are more distinctive of spam than the default "Member nnnnnnnn", but easy to find as a "bloc" because the MID's still stay pretty much contiguous. And I'd trust "Member nnnnnnnn" slightly more than "gdfsrysdeax" or similar ...

I've hunted around for this for a bit and can't find it. Not sure if it doesn't exist or I'm just not looking at the right spot.
I'd like to periodically be able to get a report of how many views my articles get. I can see to total views since an article was written, but I can't see how to view how many views this year, or the last 90 days.
If this doesn't already exist, could it?

Hover the mouse over your username at the top right of the page, and a drop down will appear.
Select "My Articles" from the list for the articles page.
Each article has a "views" count visible:

But something seems to be disappear: If I go to my Tip/Trick it shows on the left side "Stats" and there "views". In the past it was possible to click on "views" and it showed a time graph over the views. This is no longer possible at the moment.
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

They are there for me (now you point me at them):
 All I did was open the article, and click on "stats".

 you are right. I searched in the "Stats" where "views" and "bookmark" are shown. The "Stats" in the very top works like you described.
Thank you very much.

After @OriginalGriff refreshed my brain. This is maybe what you are looking for:

This is nearly what I'm looking for. I'd like to be able to control the date range that gets reported (currently just shows last 30 days), and I'd like the out put either to be just the total or grid.
It would be really nice to be able to put in a date range and get a total of how many views each article had over that range all on one page.
