Hi there,
About 3 or 4 weeks ago i changed my email address on my account settings but the newsletters and daily insider are not being sent to me. (I have checked my spam folder thoroughly and they arent there either).

I voted this article a 5 and put in a message in the little dialog that popped up. The vote seemed to apply fine (even showed up in my reputation history), but the comment did not post (unless it's a caching issue, but I'm guessing not). This isn't the first time this has happened recently, and somebody else told me this happened to them when they were voting on one of my articles recently. Pretty sure you have a bug on your hands.

Go to his member page and report him. There's no reason to tolerate people like that. Like you did, I noticed some incorrect things about the code he posted, that never would have compiled. He's obviously not giving an accurate picture, and I don't think he knows how to use the debugger. He's a cookbook programmer. Report him, and have a beer on me.

I Agree.. I wouldnt even go as far as calling him a Programmer..
Real Programmers try and diagnose the problem themselves rather than rely on others.

You know, the really annoying part of it all is I was actually trying to help...

The guy is clearly a bit of a prat but I don't see him downvoting you; are you sure it's him?

He's actually commented about 5ing the OP's posts, so it seems he's throwing a few 5s in now.

he changed those 5s to 1s right as I was trying to help him more... that's why I know it was him... there was a post with 2 5's, one from SA and one from him, after he got angry that changed to one 5 and one 1, then a bunch of other -4s started following me around (since that's all he can subtract with his status).

see my comment to nishant, he started by 5'ing then changed his votes

Upvoting rather. He seems to have given you a few 5s (based on his comments) to try and get on your good side.

Wow that would scare me out of QA for a while.

Yeah... definitely creepy

I thought it was kind of funny at first, until he just wouldn't go away... then started downvoting

It seems like the mentality of a spoiled brat that is used to getting what they want. Probably pressured by parents to go into engineering or something similar based on the pay. However, this type of person will go absolutely nowhere in this industry.

[At the risk of opening a big can 'o worms...]
Might I suggest a per-article limit to the number of downloads for which reputation points are awarded?
I've only submitted two articles (so far), and have already made it to "Legend" level for Author, the majority of reputation points coming from downloads (3800+) for my 2nd article. As much as I am gratified by the positive attention, it doesn't seem right having achieved the maximum Author level after only two articles.
Either that, or add more levels (Legend-2 at 50,000 points, Legend-3 at 100,000 points, etc).
Comments?

This has been beaten to death repeatedly over several threads over the last few weeks. Maunder's said there will be a change to the download points prior to parsing the logs and giving a decade of retroactive points. (Apparently he didn't like the idea of his getting 1M additional points and moving into first.) He's refused to say in advance what the change he's going to make will be though. 
3x12=36
2x12=24
1x12=12
0x12=18

Shhhh... you're going to ruin it for the rest of us. I've been relying on one article to get me to gold.

|
|
|
|
wow! ...very honorable of you to suggest this... 
|
|
|
|
|
I'm going to lower the points from 5 to 1.
