Garbage postings in articles
-
For what it's worth, I'm a moderator over at the asp.net/forums, which requires registration for posting, and we get spam in the forums there too. Moderators have to go in and delete it, it's a pain. Unfortunately, spammers will likely find new ways to jump through whatever hoops we put in front of them. Marcie http://www.codeproject.com

You mean, you don't have a terminal in the bathroom? Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine. - P.J. O'Rourke

I think the ability of an article writer to delete postings would be helpful. Authors care more about their articles and the useful vs garbage information in posts to them. just my 10 cents
This will mean legitimate criticism of articles pointing out faults, workarounds or better solutions may very well be deleted by those who may not be keen on peer review, thus lessening the usefulness of the forums. I'm putting in a filter. Let's hope it works. cheers, Chris Maunder

yes, very true. I don't know what the perfect balance would be.

Once again, I got a garbage Chinese/Korean/who knows posting on one of my article pages. This has been pointed out before, like two messages ago, and nothing has been done. It is time to require confirmed registration to post. A mechanism to delete posts should also be an option for an article writer. There was a reason I stopped frequenting CodeGuru. Let's not let Code Project go down the same path. Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine. - P.J. O'Rourke

But at the same time, we authors get many comments added to the article that refer to bugs that aren't bugs (but are misunderstandings by the reader) and people asking for help on issues unrelated to the article.

The ideal solution would be able to refer a posted comment to the editor of the article. They should have the power to be able to delete rogue comments. This would allow forum clean-up without being mis-used by those who can't take a little bit of criticism.
