If the user has corrected the post, he can click a "verify again" and if all looks o.k. the div is removed. If not the div will be still displayed...
What I was thinking about (and it should be easy to implement) is a quick live validator in javascript that would work before a post is submitted. It would popup a warning box if the post is in possible violation of the rules - like it contains a block of text that looks like a C++ code that is not inside [code] tags. I'm against placing such tags automatically but we could annoy people a bit so that in some of the cases they provide the tags. The same goes with trash-talk which used to be a problem some time ago.


I think we finally managed to get rid of spam, so that's at least a small victory.

As for getting rid of silly problems, we should extend the FAQ section and the wiki and make them stand out more so that people look there before asking. This needs man-power too, unfortunately.

What a superfluous question: YOU!
Well... not going to happen. At least not within the upcoming few months. Remember we're not getting paid to do this and we still have our jobs and other responsibilities. I can't devote as much free time to QtCentre as I used to. This goes the same for other admins.

No seriously, since I have some skills in PHP & MySQL (<- suppose this is the uses DB) I would help with implement such a new function if we decide to do so.
This would have to be implemented in vBulletin as a plugin for it. Unfortunately this is a bit more complicated than just using php and mysql (although their knowledge is a necessity).


I have created a task in our issue tracker related to the problem described here. It might be better to move the discussion there:
