How so? I'm admiring his ability, wake up at that earily and posting that issue here. And my message doesn't contain spam.

Take a look at my question. I wasn't stating anything: I was asking a question.
Thanks for clarifying it.

You're welcome. The spam and sarcasm filter need to be adjusted. Some more AI learning should be feed.

[Test]
private void ReticulateTheSplinesTest()
{
var map = GetMapWithoutReticulatedSplines();
map.RetirculateSplines();
Assert.IsTrue(map.SplineStatus == Status.Reticulated);
}
[Test] should be a nice calming shade of pale blue. I need calming about now. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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?

It should, and it's one of the few bits of syntax our colouriser has issues with.
I'll have another crack at it and see if I can bludgeon it into submission.

I looked through my email. I saw a few posts asking to fill out a survey. I did not see an email to confirm my address. What to do?

Given the particularly high number of votes that it takes to close an article due to the sheer number of reasons to choose from, would it be possible to group them together behind the scenes so that 10 votes of a similar grouping is enough to close the article? As an example, if some people chose to close because it's the wrong type while others choose to close an article as poor quality, these would be grouped together. That way, we would lower the barrier to removing substandard articles and reduce the chance of some stinkers getting through.

That's possible.
It's always a delicate thing when it comes to fiddling with the Caesar-like thumbs-up/thumbs-down system.

These new accounts can vote all they like but they don't have much actual voting power as they are weighted so, 5 upvotes by a new account can be all but wiped out by a 1 vote from Marc Clifton (as an example).

True, but still, it would help the voting system, since this would remove the "in effect" votings of an author, that want to promote his or hers article, with an fake account.
With great code, comes great complexity, so keep it simple stupid...

I have to admit that I don't really find the votes on an article make any useful metric. I have seen some absolute stinkers of articles have high votes from people who have had accounts for a long time.

Exactly! The huge amount of voting is a function of time plus the subject matter and content presentation.

First, take a look at the Rating FAQ[^] and then my note on friends and family votes[^].
Voting needs to be democratic, and saying that a new user's vote is less valid than someone who has been signed up for a while is illogical. The rating system has in place mechanisms to weed out bad votes, so the absolute best thing to do is vote, and vote intelligently. Time and votes will remove spurious entries.

LOL - friends and family votes. It's hilarious when you hear it out of context. I'd like to see some new voting rules enforced for second cousins, once removed. 
|
|
|
|
|
Section 10.4.56 (subsection D.xxiv, clause 32) specifically allows votes from second cousins, once removed, first cousins twice removed, and direct family members thrice removed.
We paid our lawyers a lot of money for this.

I have to disagree with you here; vote rigging has been around, since the dawn of democracy, so saying that voting needs to be democratic, doesn't mean you don't have to prevent vote rigging.
And as CodeProjects voting system describes it, it to has it's counter measures to handle bad votes, and you also posted that high rep members have more saying than low rep members, so why not say, you can't vote untill "you're 18 year old" AKA "one week old member", that to, would be a good counter measure to handle vote rigging AKA "sign-up and vote, and never hear from that member again".
Just saying...

This bug has been around since a while, now its worse. Now, if you type in the generic declaration for Java code it considers it to be HTML content with the type parameter as the element name and later ones as attributes. For example,
<T extends Object>
Gets translated to,
<t extends="" object="">
Why that happens is beyond me because the language is set to Java itself. The same happens to C++, C# and other languages that support diamond notation.
So, instead of digging any deeper setting a switch might help where you turn the HTML parsers off, when the language is set to non-HTML. For a live example, this answer of mine is what I am talking about: Question about java generic method declaration[^], see revision 1 (sadly, that part don't even have the diamond section and is being rendered as plain-HTML  ).

HAve you tried HTML encoding your code? Our editors allow HTML (unless you specifically allow Markdown in message postings) so <T extends Object> will be processed as HTML.
Use <T extends Object> instead.

We've had a few articles go through recently where they are already reported as plagiarised in S&A, but enough moderators haven't spotted the theft. This makes life a little harder, as the article then needs to be re-reported in order to close it.
How about an indication in the "Article Moderation: Should this article be published?" box out that this item has plagiarism, spam, and / or abuse reports against it - not how many, or who reported them, but just an indication next to the "action" drop down so moderators get an idea to check S&A and see if they agree with the report before pressing "Approve"?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I just found out about the flag icon at the top right of the article page. You can still report the article as unfit after it's been approved.
