I know it is quit here on the RA front, but I have just flagged and deleted a spam-would-be-article. You should probably start thinking about how to deal with spam on this site.

The banner about the contest on CodeProject (which can be seen both here and on CP), links to a page on RootAdmin in case you click on it here. But because the page doesn't exist here, you get an error message.

There is some more spam in Q&A. Can you please go through these questions? Thanks!

Done (for now). Thanks for the notification.

[EDIT]
It seems there is some delay in removing the questions from the list after I have deleted them. Or perhaps it has something to do with me being able to see them a little longer...

I've seen Protectors on CP mentioning that they can now delete forum messages -- in that case, could you please remove the spam messages in this forum?

Good point. I totally forgot about these. When they were posted I could not delete them. It looks like they recently went into the "Message Removed" state, so when I try to delete them, it fails.

In any case the spam is gone. Smile | :)

Some CodeProject questions duplicated on RootAdmin?

I see, probably Chris removed them when he replied to my message above this thread.

It looks like some CodeProject questions are duplicated here on RootAdmin, but clicking on the link brings you to the page that tells you that the item could not be found.

For example, this question on RootAdmin:
http://www.rootadmin.com/Questions/827186/Can-somoene-explain-this-outcome[^]
is actually posted on CodeProject:
http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/827186/Can-somoene-explain-this-outcome[^]

Hi Chris,

Sorry for replying to your message with an unrelated one, but I wanted to ask whether you could clean up those spam messages in this forum -- they are already there for more than a month, so I thought it was worth replying to your message.

Thanks in advance.

I started getting these messages a while back in IE 9 When i first open a link to a page.

My desktop shortcut goes here
http://www.rootadmin.com/script/Articles/Latest.aspx[^]

Nothing appears to be wrong, so what could IE be blocking ?

Chris Maunder11-Jul-14 4:41

That page isn't SSL. In fact if you hit it using https:// it automatically sends you back to http:.

Your IE install is having security delusions.

I think it may be because the Google Analytics is using ssl.

(function () {
    var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
    ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
    (document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(ga);
})();

It's the same script we use on CodeProject, and you can see that that script sniffs the protocol to ensure it sets the right protocol on its scripts.

I'm not that good with java script I can only assume that the ":" between the two means "or".

The Google stuff was the only things I seen that mentioned https.

It must be a lazy IE check.
