Hi - I'm back.
I was just thinking of stuff that, just by chance, you have not thought of. For example, when you check other peoples reps, are you in 'as them' or as you? Perhaps you have some additional priority and always get the timeslice (or whatever) to get the data. The rest of us, no so much.
That 'data point', below - my thought would be towards what is generated if there are no records (i.e., is the table just not built?). An error return is, of course, potentially very differently handled than an empty set. It does, possibly, distinguish between a failed data request and an inexplicably empty data set.
Just musing.
Karma! I just went back and refreshed the screen: there was the data!

I don't believe the sticky qualifies as "latest".

In the lounge there is a set of tabs in the top-left that show things like recent posts, news, jokes, etc.
More often than not I find that this just says "no messages found". It rarely seems to work as expected. I can never find any consistent reason why it stops either. Just appears to do it at random.
I would post a screenshot but as of right now it seems to be working fine.

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.
