Could someone explain the status system?

Not me... I've invested all my Gold Member Bucks (®) into a line of clothes designed by Lindsey Lohan & Britney Spears. Once they make their big comebacks I'm gonna be RICH!

Yeah, the global recession is taking its toll. My understanding is that the annual "CP Gold+ Social Cruise" may be altered as well. The Hawaiian cruise was too costly so they're considering a cheaper one off the coast of Somalia.
Wow that really sucks. Last years cruise was great, that bit with Chris, Bob, and the hamsters was just really emotionally uplifting. I was looking forward to a repeat this year, but maybe we'll get front row seats to a SEAL ass-kicking contest instead!

Are you nuts? I created a new account to get rid of gold, I got sick watching the stupid "articles" on the home page. :)
Not completely. By looking at some of the really good new articles, I wanted to pick up tips on how to write my own. Most precisely, the introductions and writing style - if I wanted to, I would want to be able to put the links on my CV without being embarrassed

No need to worry; no offence taken. I'm just feeling a little grumpy tonight for some reason
the Bronze is awarded at post #1 instead of post #500, to get to Gold you need to get to post at least 1000 messages: normally it would be 500 messages = +1 level 1 year = +1 level (up to Silver) so it's 500 messages (Bronze), 500 messages (+1 level -> Silver), 500 messages (+1 level -> Gold) or 500 posts (Bronze), 1 year (+1 level -> Silver), 500 posts (+1 level -> Gold) membership years do not add a level above Silver, only +500 posts and unless you submit articles, Gold is the highest you can get.

Really good articles are plenty, and the new ones become available pretty soon assuming they are good. No need to see the crap that is used to try and get gold, to use as file server, to impress (?) people, and what have you. If you need examples, look for platinum members (first two pages of "who is who", sorted by article count). :)

I have suggested lots of things, including an "I have seen this, don't show it ever again" button, a "hide unapproved stuff" setting, buttons to vote on separate aspects of "articles" (length, content, style, clarity, ...) to no avail. Rather than make life easier for people who devote part of their time to make this a nice site, recent changes made it more difficult to tell you didn't like the "article" for some reason; now you have to type a lot of comment, and expect replies to that, etc etc. while CodeProject refuses to install a simple filter that would throw away half of the junk automatically anyway, without risking false negatives. :)

Having looked into some of the forums, I'd disagree when it comes to stupidity. One person didn't Google something because (s)he claimed that it was 'offline'
yes, unfortunately only a small subset of the alternatives got offered. Why isn't anyone using Altavista any more? :)

Have you considered using AdBlock? A simple filter will block part of a site, and you can enable or disable the rule as you wish
I hadn't. I now looked into it, I don't believe it would help, the "articles-needing-approval" is just a table inside a div, there is no URL called or whatever. :)

There doesn't need to be. It's possible to block individual elements[^]. I've been blocking all Google and CP adverts for quite some time now
Fantastic. Thanks a million. I turned gold again. BTW: I don't mind regular ads that much, they sometimes are creative :jig: Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles]

You're welcome. But I'm not a professional developer. I can very rarely afford to buy a control for $### when I can build one myself and learn from it. I've done this about 50 times, and it's worked like a charm. I'll try to upload them along with articles sometime

or you can be like me .. and not give a rats ass.. been here a long time, employer forbids me posting articles, and I get no respect ( Rodney Dangerfield) .. for my off topic posts

I trust you only pay attention to this restriction when you are using your employer's Internet connection. If you are posting from home, what the hell business is it of theirs where and what you post?

I've currently got 506 messages, and have been a member for 2.5 years. According to the little snippet on my profile I should be Gold. To be precise, this bit: Each 500 messages posted adds one level, and if a member has posted a message then each year of membership adds 1 level until the member hits Silver Each year of membership adds 1 level - check, putting me at Silver Each 500 messages posted adds one level - check. So, which level should I be? This is a little confusing, and I could do with some clarification
