I suspect it will be manual, and by user level, in the same way that you need silver or gold to edit, delete, etc.
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

Correct you will need to be at least a silver.

I just clicked on "Ask a Question" in the QA section, and was presented with the edit window, Subject, Tags and Content. Unfortunately the section that starts: "A few simple rules when posting your question." was not visible so I saw no guidance on the rules for posting. Maybe if the rules appeared first, and the questioner had at least to scroll past them before getting to the edit box, then at least some of them may read the guidelines in advance of their post.

Regardless of where you put the instructions, they will be ignored.

true, and even more so when they would be incomplete, confusing or hard to find.
Some people will ignore everything, nevertheless good instructions are bound to be more effective than bad ones or none at all (I don't even see them on my laptop without scrolling).

My point was that since they don't appear on the first screen we can hardly criticise people for not following them. If the instructions are the first thing they see then all those that ignore them could be referred to your goodself for chastisement.

Comments are useless not just to the compilers but also to the programmers. Any doubt ?

I am really glad to see a regular expression forum - they are complex enough that I think it is well justified.
Just a few thoughts:
1) It isn't listed in the Programming Discussions list under the "Q&A" menu - perhaps it should?
2) No "How to get an Answer" message like we do with the C#, VB, etc.
3) It would be really helpfully if we directed people to somewhere like www.ultrapico.com[^] with the suggestion they download Expresso because it could educate them on regexes and probably fix half the problems before they get raised. It's free! (Yes, I know there are others, but that's the one I use, ok?)

Since it appeared, the responsiveness has reduced and slowed, and there has been a loss of functionality (the ctrl [arrow key] no longer works).
I thought there may be an issue with one machine, but it affects two others as well.
Whatever you have done is unpleasant and should be reversed.

Which CodeProject are you using? I see no yellow bar, response is fine, and the up down keys work just fine.

I just logged on as normal.
There is a yellow bar pinned to the top of the messages.
Is says "Hint: For improved responsiveness use Internet Explorer 4, Firefox or above. Ensure Javascript is enabled and choose 'Normal' from the Layout dropdown and hit 'Update'."
OFFS!!!!
Sorted.

Hi there!
after two 5 votes in the C/C++ forum I got this message with the third one:
You or someone at your IP address has been voting too often. Please wait a moment and try again.
This makes it hard to appreciate good answers...

Yeah, that's been my experience too. It should definitely be higher than this, specially for 5 votes. For 1 votes a max of two votes within a time makes sense, for 5 votes it should be raised to at least six.

How about we agree to 5 per minute?

How about no limit for upvoting with 5?
How bad can it be if you "like" a lot of posts... okay a limit for non-human voting can be imposed, but I guess you the hamsters handle that somewhere else already.

Upvoting sprees are just as bad as downvoting. We've had 'em both.

How about manually targeting the bad apples, not feasible (too much work)? Just a suggestion.

Make it based on user level? Bronze heavily restricted, while platinum (and gold?) have minimal or no constraints.

That's still too low to clean up after trolls on the lounge.
