Pest / vermin control is a public duty, isn't it?

Don't know who he is - though Chris might be able to tell from the school IP I guess.

Maybe the guy should send his tutor the Article FAQ and explain the moderation process to him. I read the comments on his article and got the impression he thinks we must 'approve' because its homework....yeh right!
|
|
|
|
|
And why do I suspect that anything that does get approved will get upvoted by the rest of the class?
|
|
|
|
|
I often think that the moderation process needs to be upped to higher level members.
I still see stuff that I have commented on needing formatting fixed etc. and two minutes later it is approved in the same state.
|
|
|
|
|
Indeed, having one "approve" outweight dozens of comments/votes/reports is bad. Plus the comments get removed. Horrible.

..and how did that school accept that he offshores his work to CodeProject?
I'll be reporting each one I find as spam.

Don't know - somewhere in Iran I assume. Again I suspect Chriss could narrow it down a lot, but I don't have access to that info.

I suspect it is: Amirkabir University of Technology - Tehran Polytechnic
I searched for the member on Google, found his linkedin profile and it says he is currently studying there.

I didn't think of that...

I just Hope That it is Not a Swiss Guy, could eventually be my fault for telling my Tutor about The CP?
Veni, vidi, caecus

No it is not, definitely Iran.
|
|

Puuh, lucky me. I documented my final project here, but it seems to be good enough to get 5* votes. If it wouldve been a Swiss Guy I'd offered to have a serious talk with him.

There must be something in CP "legalese" that prevent using CP as a homework dump.
I'd rather be phishing!

They may have trouble with reputation points. It can be one step forward three steps back.
|
|
|
|
|
And furthermore it could adversely affect other developers from the area.
|
|
|
|
|
hows that? by others ganging up and downvoting ?
|
|
|
|
|
If some of us downvote anything from anyone whose profile says "Iran (Islamic Republic Of)".
Mind you, I wouldn't.
|
|
|
|
|
I find it strange that a vote of 1 or 2 is the same as a single down vote.
You loose points.
|
|
|
|
|
Send me the email of the tutor.
We could actually do this properly.

Is trying to take a chewtoy away from a pack of rabid dogs really a good idea?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Trouble is, it's one of those "win-win" ideas for the tutor: He gets to sit on his backside doing diddly-squat while his students get educated by us. His wages are the same, but he puts in less effort. Next year, he does it again - and so does all his mates. Pretty soon, you end up with this place being flooded with rubbish posted just to get rep points to pass a course, and you can't see the wood for the trees anymore. It's already difficult to use the moderation queue when there is a competition on - it only displays five articles at a time and it tends to get so full of "waiting" entries that real articles stand no chance of being seen let alone voted on.
It's a bit like the "outsource manufacturing" idea: an accountant saw he could save $1 per unit by laying off all his production workers and getting it built in China. Another accountant saw that, and before you know it nobody can afford to make anything locally, unemployment is high, and company profits falling because nobody has the money to buy what was made offshore because they haven't got a job!
