I had a look after I posted here, and noticed that one, and that all the ones I checked had the same accepted and upvoted answerer.

I've been a bit suspicious about the answering user. He's been making WAAAAY too many edits in Q&A that make no real contribution. Definitely looks like a rep-[can't think of a polite term that is expressive enough] to me. I was prepared to let him go on his childish way, but if he's annoying others, then maybe a Liverpool kiss is in order.

I was just thinking "These guys are so polite. I love this community." And then along comes Pete and just drops his pants.

Are you sure you are Australian? You have a very un-MM approach to the language. Just think how different CP would be if he moderated it

It's not that he is annoying if he is gaming the system in this way, but that he is wasting other peoples time - if the only purpose of asking the question is to gain him rep points under his "main" username, then everyone else who has put effort into answering the question has wasted their time. That is annoying, and very rude.

You are absolutely right, Griff.
I'm glad you've caught this guy. Not exactly because of this little cheating, but exactly by the reason you pointed out, plus one more: this person acted like a shameless liar, trying to answer some questions in a most ignorant way, when it was apparent that he did not have a clue, not just by mistakes. It could create total confusion in unsuspected naive inquirers, even more lost of time. Was that just for those stupid points?
This account is now disabled, but then the account of his other reincarnation should be disabled, too. This one:

Who will do that?

So, everybody seems to be pointing to Eduard Lu[^] as being the site troll.
|
|
|
|

I don't know if I would call him a troll. A point-wh*** maybe, but he's not being rude or inappropriate beyond his abuse of the points system. Even on his sock-puppet questions, he is at least going through the effort of posting an answer that is somewhat related to the question.
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

Agree he is not a troll. Somebody(old members) must suggest/warn him about this thing.
|
|
|
|
|
I think it could be more fun just to downvote all the obvious sock-puppet answers and upvotes and see how long it takes for him to catch on that we've caught on.

I've asked Eduard himself to reply to this.

And he did - a voluntary and self imposed one month ban. I dunno, perhaps a massive points demotion to discourage others would be in order as well? Just a thought.

He asked that his account be closed for good. He was ashamed and embarrassed so that account is gone.

That is possibly a bit far, but...
I think that was pretty well handled, myself. Good job all round!

Sorry all!
Did not really intended to do something like this. My friend told me to do this and I do not know til now why i did it. Maybe because of fame :/
Sorry all! As payment for this, I will stay inactive at CodeProject for a month.
Forgive me :/ I really enjoyed here at CodeProject
Merry christmas!
