Perhaps they should be restricted so they can't post a second article until their first one has been approved? Or at least have a sensible limit on the number of unapproved articles they can have in the queue at one time.

One for @chris-maunder to consider at least. Smile | :)

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

We have posting limits. I'll have to dig in and see why the limiter didn't kick in

Hey Paul - off the top of your head do you remember if those articles were all from the same member or from multiple spammers?

About a month ago, I stopped getting my daily Insider News emails. How do I get them turned back on? When I go to sign up, it says that I'm already subscribed. They are NOT going to a spam folder or anything. As far as I can tell, they're not getting sent.
Hard to believe I'm begging to get spam but I really like the Insider News. Smile | :)

Is this still an issue? Your account looks OK from here, but we can dig in further if there is still an issue.

Chris,
Yes, this is still an issue. Still not getting the daily Insider News. Would it help if I changed to a different email address?

Hi Mark,

It might. For now I've sent you an email confirmation request and tried one other thing. Please let me know if you receive the confirmation request. If you do, and you accept it, and don't get your Insider tomorrow, changing your email would probably work.

Thanks,

I got the confirmation request and responded and it worked. Hopefully, I'll get Insider News tomorrow.

Hey - I got my first Daily Insider newsletter daily since a few months ago. What did you do to fix it?

Sean Ewington8-Mar-23 6:17

The team made some recent updates to the newsletter system. I'm guessing in the process they also fixed some things.

article removed

Shouldn't it better be removed totally of the list instead of leaving the empty option?

Additionally... I am just curious about what can trigger it. A spam nuke? An owner deletion once the article was selected? The hamsters being fed after midnight?

Edit:
You can even vote for it... that would be a nice prank if the winner is a deleted entry (already in position #4).

Nope, it was one of mine - since it had already won a 2nd prize in November's competition, Sean and I felt it shouldn't be in December's as well and he removed it as best he could: Sean, an oddity. - Article Writing Discussion Boards[^]

Then it should not be posible to vote for it.

I'd agree - but since it was a glitch in the system that got it in the contest to start with, there isn't a lot of point raising a bug report and fixing it! Laugh | :laugh:

But as I said... it would be interesting to see what happens if the "deleted entry" actually wins the competition Laugh | :laugh:

It should definitely be an option to remove an option from a running survey. Currently I cannot. It's a rare requirement so it will be tackled accordingly. The last time this happened was years ago.

4. The feature which allows you to lock down the syntax and forbid overly clever and totally unreadable code written by a dev more focussed on proving they are smart than they are in working with everyone who will ever need to maintain their incomprehensible code.

Oh, hang on, that feature hasn't been added yet.

Hi Chris,

I can hardly wait to see this/your response, and the other responses, to the survey, when it appears on the home page Smile | :)

Of course, the survey may take another form, depending on ...

Having already put my backside in ... in proposing this survey, I dare say I can see another survey that asks opinions about adoption, or use, of .NET/C# versions > 9.

The new kid, Math Generics, looks interesting: for me, the tricks I had to go through, back when, for robust conversion of Numeric Types, and parsing of strings as numeric were ... surreal.

cheers, Bill
