The C# forum has a post in it that has hosed up HTML in it.
You can only see the top post in the forum.

Yeah : This one.[^]
I just tried posting a new message above and that is fine, it seems to be he has a "<table>" in his code which doesn't close - why should it, it's shouldn't be seen by the HTML as a table anyway!
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

Seems to be okay now - apparently he edited his post and fixed the bad html.

I think this post[^] broke the forum..
edit: never mind, it's fixed

One of the user wants to withdraw his article because of some issues.
Can someone look at it[^].
He posted the same in Q&A, I have asked him to follow up here.

In order to stop the unitossers voting us into a grey universe of oneness, I would perhaps make a couple of suggestions to the CP Overlords...
No voting priveledges at all until rep points > 1500
No voting Priveledges as all until Member Since > 30 days
Once they have been met...
Restricted voting rights (Say up to 5 Per day) until Debator Points > 1000
Restricted voting rights (No more than 5*1 Voting) until Member Since > 90 Days
That would stop the multi ID Changing Unitossers.

...or you could stop giving the person the attention they crave.
And no, I'm not removing the ability for the several thousand new members daily to express their opinion on the basis of a single person.

Expression of opinion is achievable via the posting of a message.
But changing ID's just to downvote whole swathes of the community is abusive behaviour.
I understand you have a difficult line to tread, but the concensus of opinion seems to be that 'Something must be done, Think Of the Children' .

Chris at least you can disable only down-vote option for new members according to points mentioned by DD. If possible.....
|
|
|

When someone goes on a downvoting spree it's usually someone who has been around for a while. The reason they are downvoting is because they've had a long, ongoing spat with someone else.
Yes, removing their account and banning downvots for new members will solve the downvoting, but it's a very large hammer to use. A far easier solution is to stop feeding the trolls and downvoters.

Yeah, your fact is right which i was already guessed something, that's why i leave the words "If possible" last in my message. Thanks

I disagree. Just pretending that a jerk isn't being a jerk works as well online as it does in real life. How the proprietors handle jerks is the difference between the nice bar you take your friends to when they come to visit and the nuisance that get shut down because they're always having the police show up.
I hate to say it, but the lack of any consequences for abusers is pushing the lounge towards the latter category.
The only thing that setting the current limits on voting rates has done is to make peer moderation nearly impossible because when a troll goes crazy only the people who hit refresh every 10 minutes can come close to casting abuse votes on all its posts. The univoting trolls meanwhile are free to just switch between thier various sock puppets and can cast abusive votes on everything.
3x12=36
2x12=24
1x12=12
0x12=18

Totally agree. I wondered for a while now why the CP admins can't just target the occasional black sheep.
|
|
|
|

Define "target". If you mean "remove accounts", "remove spurious votes", or "have a heart to heart with a long standing member who has an issue and resolve it sensibly", or any combination thereof, then I'd say we're covered.

Chris, let's say you have the occasional black sheep covered, then everyone should be fine and there should be no voting problem for most. But since the topic comes up again and again and angers members... I am asking myself if there is something left to be improved (such as a faster admin response time or more tools for peer review)? I'd say you are not covered, the occasional univoter trolls are still able to cause trouble. Luckily I miss most of the voting trouble, because I am rarely posting in the Lounge.

+1.
Anyone giving the univoter what he/she needs (attention) is as bad as the univoter.

Yeah, to stop some abusive users, why the whole site has to be abusive to new users. I also though about this kind of rule, because it was not going to affect me. you need to think from every single user's perspective.

Why does it worry you so much?
The uni-voters aren't doing any harm in fact there giving you more rep points since in every case over the past week every time the uni-voter strikes multiple other people balance the 1 vote out, people with higher reputations and thus more weight in the voting.
So after 15 min or so your reputation actually went up instead of down and the posts are colored in blue (maybe even in red).
