I'm happy to restart the straw polls if we get some good suggestions. I'm letting them sit for a bit. I'd rather post a question people are interested in than post a question for the sake of asking a question.
cheers

How about providing a description of the problem, rather than posting an unexplained screen-shot every few days and expecting the hamsters to work it out?

If someone can look at this problem and not understand it from even just the first screenshot, they have no business being near a compiler. What an embarrassment.

If you can't provide even a basic description of the problem beyond unexplained screen-shots, and respond angrily to the mere suggestion that you do so, then you have no business posting here.

I get the same emails you're showing and don't see a single problem with them.
If you can't be bothered to explain the problem, you are the embarrassment. As someone who has been writing code for 40 years and dealing with customer complaints, I expect a minimum standard of a problem description so there is no confusion between customer and developer. You have failed to supply that minimum amount of information and clarification. Instead of posting a screenshot of who-knows-what, you might want to try explaining what you perceive as a problem and actually HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT IT!
What YOU consider a problem may not be a problem at all. It may just be that it is your expectations that need to be fixed. I can't tell you how many time I've run into that in my career.

My guess is the hamsters are sending him the screenshots and he (rightly) hates the "dark mode" view.
Nothing else is obvious from the OP first post.

I think it is more about how the subject / previes of the email is built.
1) Look like individual tags
2) No need for sunglasses as there are no more yellow squares
3) For me looks like #2, no idea where the difference here is

My guess is the headline article is remaining the same. Which seems odd, but I'll dig in.

Perhaps its the day of week dangling(probably incomplete) in the title at the end?

I'm thinking about ones like this spammer: https://www.[DELETED].net.in - Professional Profile[^] - there is no legitimate reason to want them, it's only ever going to be spam.

Thanks for the heads up. So far this seems OK, but let us know if you see anything more.

I know removing or deleting a post might result in a orphaned thread. I question this one though, as the participants are well established members and probably would not delete a post. The first post (at least) seems to be missing, this is currently on the first page of the C/C++/MFC forum.

If the OP/parent thread is automatically removed via red flag reporting, etc. then this bug scenario will happen, regardless of user experience with the site or not.

Agreed, the difference perhaps is that I don't believe that the OP was removed or deleted (I, of course could be wrong in that assumption).

See the start of the Python forum:
Tennis racket - Python Discussion Boards[^]
trønderen's reply was to a now-deleted message from a spammer. I had replied to let him know, saying "The OP is a spammer.  "
The original message has now gone, so it looks like I was saying that Member 15868796 is a spammer, which he isn't. (At least not yet; so far, he's just a lazy student who's posted three identical copies of his code without any details.)
I've deleted my reply, but if anyone read the broken thread without paying attention, this bug could have caused a non-spammer to be incorrectly flagged as a spammer.

My post below is related to the same type of bug.

I got two notifications pointing to the same answer to my message in the lounge.
Maybe related?

I was looking for a post directly after posting that message. The timestamp is identical and appeared at the same time. Odd that someone could reply literally within the seconds it took.
