Getting an article published on CodeProject should be easier and faster for Bronze and Silver authors.

At first I thought not, but after I posted it, I figured it was.

I wouldn't disagree with you.

I guess that most of the positive votes vould normaly be from people from lover levels (students etc) since those vere seeking help in first place. and negative ones from higher levels since those can usually can make even better article.
Most of the higher levels usually ranted about formatting etc but their rant was lost in positive feedback of peopple to whose it really helped. They usually reformat it their way anyway. Big Grin | :-D

That's the reason I think system was kinda balanced when everyone could vote.
The only think I would do for start is

Disabling voting scores lower than 4 from accounts that don't have articles with at least score 4 on them. Also maybe regognizing one user using multiple accounts for voting (via cookie / ip ?).

Now the tactical voting can be solved be solved by calculating score from votes older than 24h ? This way articles vould have 24h time to find audience.

It is hoped that gold+ members can distinguish sub-optimal but non-dangerous code from dangerous code.
If the code presented is dangerous, then sure, vote 1. But if it's OK, but I can do better, then a 1 may not be in order.

I've had it from both ends, I'm pretty sure mostly from the bottom end of the spectrum.

Exactly.

I doubt that's possible.

All in all, I don't really care about the rating.

Could we set up a new Group

Somehow that is not very democratic.

Me, I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest.
Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for...

I think there is a need, given recent discussions, and a couple of requests, for a group to be set up.

Invitations freely given.

Name : "My Big Fat Geek Kitchen"
Subject : Curry, Chilli and other Spicy Food Recipes.
Rules : Open to all, but format to be observed...
(Overview, Ingredients, Equipment, Method, Observations).
Header Rule : Opening Thread of any Recipe must begin with Vegetarian, Chicken, Beef etc then whether it is a curry or whatever else, (just to make scanning easier).

There are a lot of amateur chefs here, and we all have our fave dishes, it would be nice to have a place to share them.

GFY!

We have had several Curry Threads recently, and there was a chilli thread not so long ago, and I have just been asked about setting up a group, so I thought, "Why not?".

Was only kidding: good idea. Love anything that stings both ends though preferably not at the same time...
