Suggestions for sifting programming questions

[matthias s 0]

I'd suggest writing an activex control which scans the message prior to sending. If keywords have been found, a MsgBox pops up saying: "Here is the CP-HDD-Formatter (just call me the 'mad Bob'). Your attempting to send a programming question to our lounge. If you send this message, a randomly chosen HDD partition on your box (we found the drives C: and D: so far) will get wiped out entirely after the message has been posted. Do you want to continue? YES |NO. :~ [ASK START] Need HELP nooooooooooowwww! I'm must making a ActiveX control for browser. When user types bad, it make format c:. Plz. hlp me ASAP [ASK END] fun, when the sun is shining! /matthias

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.

cute! Honestly, you guys are acting like a bunch of old-farts. Do you really need/want to act like a gaggle of message-board-nazi's??? Really, I don't see the need for getting bent out of shape about it. It won't do you nor anyone else any good. Get a life. If you don't like the question, ignore it. Life is much better when we're nice to ourselves. Being mean to others, is being self-abusive. This message is meant especially for Tom Archer

Others take things more seriously, and without them there would be chaos in the free topic forums. There would be endless programming questions, ads, rants, inappropriate content - and that's just from the regulars.

Your post did make me smile. I don't mind it when someone simply directs the errant poster to the correct forum. I do care when they're mean and nasty.
