In short: Unless the poster has brain and guts to mention the true quality of his question.
Longer version:
Ennis Ray Lynch, Jr. wrote: Gold and Highers
Lets assume maximum number of memebers in this zone fall between 4 and 5 on a scale of 5. So for them, even a question say which falls in category 4 can be a category 2 question. If you give more weightage to their votes, then better questions might be labelled as homework. Moreover, even a troll can hit gold memebership with time(AFAIK) so his/her votes might be wrong.
Ennis Ray Lynch, Jr. wrote: a weighting scheme to bias the number of "votes" for a particular questions level
This seems a good idea to counter my first point. But still it will be opinion of few and not the truth. Number of gold memebers(assuming they give correct vote according to question's standard) is too less than beginners.
The word "politics" describes the process so well: "Poli" in Latin meaning "many" and "tics" meaning "bloodsucking creatures."

I don't like those categories. They mean nothing to me. Is it "every Beginner knows this" or "if you don't know this, you're just a Beginner".
That brings to mind a memorable experience from about ten years ago. I needed an OpenVMS version of "touch", I asked the company guru, his response began with "Well, the obvious solution is...". [ append nl: filename ] It wasn't obvious to me, I had never heard of the append command, I still only use it this way if at all.

I apologies, if it is a wrong place to ask this.
I have found some members are continually rating 1 on articles without any reason. And they are not submitting a single article on codeproject.com. And all are using same text while rating (My vote of 1 [^])
Are they not able to find good articles on codeproject.com or they are doing with a purpose?
Thanks and Regards,
Ajit

You only have 1 articles it's hard for me to see a pattern to this person's voting.
If you don't agree with his comment then vote for it to be removed.

His 1-votes are accompanied by valid comments. He does seem to come across as a rather negative person but that doesn't mean he should be disallowed to vote.
Interestingly even where his 1-vote was accompanied by a reasonably valid justification, his vote has been removed by people voting the comment down

To be fair, your article deserved it.
Now, i don't agree with codeguruj's reason, and consider him lazy for failing to put more thought into his vote-comments... but the article is really not up to par, and i find it puzzling that you would expect others to put proportionally more effort into their comments than you did into writing the article itself. You would do well to put more effort into critiquing your own work before complaining about the responses of others.
---- You're right.
These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets .

The cursing in forum posts seems to get worse all the time. Is it appropriate to flag a message as "Abuse" if it has inappropriate words in it? Or is that abuse of the "Abuse" flag?
|
|
|
|
|
Report the post as abusive. Any particular ones?

Any that say "testicles"?

The words are being used everywhere. Sometimes I feel like I walked into a cigar shop or a men's locker room the way people talk here. It is offensive.

Are the guilty ones the posters or the repliers?

I am not getting email replies to my posts. I tried replying my own post through email but never received one(not even as spam). I asked same thing in Lounge here[^]. Hans had sent out a mail to me which I did not got.
Is there anything I have messed up in settings?
I think this is right forum to post this.

We were upgrading the main mailsever which required a reboot. Should be OK now.

After a couple of hours, I had replied to my post through email. But I am sorry I did not received anything. It might be I had set some wrong settings. Could you please help me.

To try to determine at which end this is failing, could you create a temporary gmail account, and then set this as your email address for posts (I'm not talking about your logon email address).
If emails fail on this gmail account when you click the CP email link, then it is probably something on the CP end (I use gmail myself).
If emails work using the gmail address, then you (or your company) are blocking the emails.

As I currently have some enforced free time, I was just looking at my list of articles to see which of my older and lower-rated articles I may want to update.
I see no way to order them by date or rating. I even tried the regular search for only my articles, but the ordering wasn't quite right.
If I'm missing something, please let me know. If it's not there, might you add it?

Not a bad idea. I'll add that to the TODO

You can use my CodeProject Article Scraping article, and list them in any order you like.
