I have the same problem, Dan, for the same reasons too. I used to submit my crappy blog posts too, but they never did well. I think it trained the system against me, because it seems like 90% of my submissions get caught in the spam filter now. I've more or less just given up.
I think the only thing you can do is ask a moderator to release you from the filter each time, and in theory reddit will learn to trust you again after mods repeatedly tell them you're ok.
Absolutely. Some people might not like it, but I always edit the hell out of code samples in questions if they don't look very nice. (without actually changing the code, of course)
Ok, I'm not anal on backticks. Most of the time inline code doesn't really need to be code formatted. Like who cares about the difference between "SELECT" and SELECT.
@RebeccaChernoff I didn't rollback the change, because it didn't hurt the answer by any means. I just thought it was such a trivial thing. I mean, I guess I should link to the main site, but I don't always remember to change it. If I don't change it, then the only damage is that the page might take a fraction of a second longer to load.
I just try to take care with my edits. If it's below a certain threshold, I just don't edit it. Especially with answers. I don't think I've ever edited an answer.
I was just mildly annoyed that he had edited it for something I thought was trivial. I would never make that edit, but if he wants to be the mirror police, then he's welcome to it. I'm fine with any edit so long as it doesn't alter the meaning of my post.
In any situation where ca.php.net disappears, it is just as likely the page on www.php.net disappeared too. Either php.net will still be around and they'll point that subdomain somewhere if EasyDNS stops hosting it, or whatever reason ca.php.net is gone would be significant enough that the page on www.php.net is moved too, like a complete information architecture change.
The Setup
I have designed a very easy to use MVC wizard. The cherry on the cake is a spinner gif that will appear when I change wizard step. I want it to center on the page, regardless of the size of the browser window.

@DanGrossman Well it won't shut down the computer without you actually pressing the 'Restart now' button, and since you can't get annoyed without been at the computer, just ignore it
@AgentConundrum yea ... i just have better things to do with my time than babysit windows updates and have just kinda gotten used to the fact that windows gets borked all the time
well that and I really only use my home machine for gaming and some web browsing most of my heavy duty stuff is on my laptop
sigh come on.. just one more upvote then I can take a nap
@AshutoshSingh I just saw your question. I just thought I'd mention that there's someone on the site with a Legendary badge (a feat which requires you to accumulate a minimum of 30k rep) who now only has ~2k
@radp At one point I had a userscript that showed last mod activity for all mods in a bar on the right side; it did a separate GET request for every mod on the site. It killed page load times and got me blocked from SO multiple times for "too much activity from this IP"

I don't see the point of tag emails, personally. For the sort of questions I'm capable of answering, odds are that the question will have a decent answer within 3 minutes or so (though I've been able to get the accept even then because I write really detailed, most people would say "long winded", answers).
I'm sure there are people who will love this feature, but it's not for me.
I've tried that a couple times, trying to write a PHP site from scratch and documenting it (appscanadian.ca), but I have a habit of putting it off and going long stretches without posting.
@TylerChacha I'd really like to see more "ground up" type posts. Give the newbies (myself included) something to read to learn how to build something "professional" from scratch.
@TylerChacha yeah yeah, but I was saying what I would like to read :p ;) ~ It's actually one of my most viewed questions, I need to do a writeup on it (got me a silver badge it did)

I use a greasemonkey script to get the desired effect:
It's really simplistic but seems to work fine. source code, direct install link
