You and the others in GIT need to decide whether you Moderate that forum or whether you Run that forum.
Moderation means you work to enforce the tone of the forum, keep it polite, and keep it on track. What constitutes acceptable posts is decided by the community: you merely enforce their wishes.
Running the forum means you decide what's in and what's out, whether one topic is more important than another, and who gets to do what.
I set up GIT for the community. If the community is happy for you to run the forum then I'm happy to accept that. If, however, the community expects you only to moderate the forum then whether a post is sticky or not (among other things) needs to be decided by consensus.

Don't panic. It will be gone in a few days (unless a CP admin asks me to remove it earlier).

Nope, I am not panicking nor bothered by that post, was just curious since it appeared as sticky. I didn't know if one could do that here on CP. Hence I marked this thread as a question.

Had a message in there that wasn't spam - it was however serious abuse. Yes, yes: Mr "Goat's rectum" is posting his filth randomly again.
Trouble is that isn't spam - it's abuse and so I let it through and then reported it in S&A.
Would it be possible to have an "abuse" flag in the moderation queue that discards the message without feeding it to the spam filter to learn from? Or do we want it to pick up on that kind of phrase?

I'm happy for the spam detector to flag abusive words too.

Hey there,
currently I receive the following message in one of my articles Comments and Discussions section:
No messages could be retrieved (timeout)
In the sidebar I can see, that there should be 2 comments ("Comments (2)"), but the web side only shows this message.
EDIT: This is the article I am talking about.
What I have tried?
- Retrying to load the comment several times during the last two days. Situation didn't change.
- Searching this board for "No messages could be retrieved (timeout)" gave no relevant results
- Comparing with other articles without comments. They show a different message
Any ideas what could be the problem?
Thx
– Konstantin
Hope this is the right place for this question. If not, just let me know where to post it.

Normally, the "send me an email" option in the "Forums" tab of "My Settings" is set to checked.
But...I haven't had an email from Cp since 09:25 today (it's currently 17:31) so I looked at a Lounge message that had replies and the option was unchecked there. A quick check in my settings, and the master option has become unchecked, without me touching it - I haven't been to my settings for ages...

The message board on old articles always displays with the layout style "Open All" at first. I assume that's some database flag? Would be nice if it could be changed to adopt the individual preference of the viewer or to "Normal".

It's "Open all" if you get to an article via search. The reasoning is that search engines index the forum messages and the article in one hit, so if you are looking for a phrase and it's not in the article, but rather it's in a message, and the messages are closed, you won't see (easily) where that phrase is or why you were brought to that page.

Oops, my bad, I had the impression it was connected to old articles. Makes some sense then I guess, though I haven't yet had a case where it was helpful to me.

Well, that's valuable feedback in itself...

Every message now marked as new (actually that appears to be the case in all of the discussion forums).
Unable to reply to posts in S&A ... checked message moderation and came back an hour(ish) later to see if it was caching being a bit slow. If it's the latter then it's well slow! 
Must have been caching - all is well now

From my end it looks all right - I'm on WEB01/WEB04...Maybe it is a problem with only some of the servers...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

Yeah - all is ok now. I've updated my post so the hamsters don't waste any time on it

Might have been ... been experiencing some weird s**t on another site since then.

will be great if the article can be sent to kindle in a proper way, because sendtokindle is buggy.

Well it's not C++ but it's a pity it won't fit in the other categories. That's a really nice write-up too, although I don't know if there are any assembler guys left on this site. But it'll at least cater to those of us looking for some nostalgia

The sort of article that reminds me of the time I had a proper job.

It can go in the Everything Else category, but now that it's been voted on, it's too late.
Thanks,

I always thought the Everything Else category was one of those categories that came up because someone made a joke in a team meeting and someone else took it seriously, and then everyone had to go and implement it just for kicks.
