When I click on any Message in Article page, the page Title changes to message title. Now I don't know the article title and I'll have to scroll to the top. Imagine having many tabs are open. Seriously btw, whats the point of changing page title ? Isn't clicking on it obvious enough ?

I have given an answer in Quick Answers c++.
How can I concatenate 2 arrays by using reference operator '&'?[^]
At one point the answer was upvoted and that resulted in -20 points which is counter-intuitive to say the least.
Also although 3 votes were given I can only find records of 2.

Where are you looking? In looking through thevoting history I can clearly see 3 votes.

I see 2 upvoted events (5 and -20) and one accepted (25). I take it upvoted and accepted are the same thing?

Please refer to:
perl code for extracting xml tag values and converting into CSV[^]
Both messages were tagged (I think with c++), but color schema was just ugly, so I tried the manual edition with "perl" and it worked.
Maybe would be worth to check all admited code tags and add the missing ones to the code drop-down menu on posting board

I've added a couple of missing entries, but not all since some that we support are used very rarely, and I want the dropdown to be manageable.

Just landed on a question via google and found the Stack overflow style QA format. Really happy to see it and planning to use CodeProject (CP) once again.

Still waiting to hear what CP is proposing to combat this rather irksome issue. I realize you've been busy with rootadmin but this still lacks resolution and people are still doing drive-by down-voting for no apparent reason.

Unless it’s very obvious vote-abuse (one member down-voting dozens of posts), I don’t think the admins will (or should) interfere. Voting here is kinda democratic and based on member/post popularity. What most high-rep members have here (either consciously or purely inadvertently) is a friend-base so that their posts get a lot of 5-votes which usually make up for the 1-votes. Of course that usually involves being nice in general in the forums (which works out well because that ensures that CP’s higher rep members are all typically good folks). While you can’t prevent the odd 1-vote every other day, in general if you post with maturity, you’ll find that the 5 votes out-gun the 1 votes.

Not what I'm talking about at all: there has been quite obvious vote abuse here over the last few months and it's not being addressed. Many of us came up with suggestions as to how best to address it but that appears to have been ignored. Chris had said he had thought about it and looked at it and then... nothing.
BTW: patronizing me will get YOU a one vote!
You got the 1 vote to balance the 5 vote that you got for being a smarmy git.

What constitues as vote abuse? If a gold/platinum rep member decided to 1-vote a dozen of your posts, how would Chris or anyone else decide if that's fair or not.

I'd like to hear what Chris has to say.

No problem.
Personally I've never been in favor of the voting system we have on CP. It just results in so much negativity. Instead of a + / - system, I'd prefer a + only system. The good posts and the good articles get + votes, the ordinary ones get nothing, while the spam/abuse gets reported as such (not via a - vote but via a simple report button).

There were some suggestions as to how best handle this but nothing has been done. I'm thinking CP was hoping it would just go away.

Chris had looked into the same thing for me yesterday.
someone has been following me around for a few days downvoting me. I think he reached out to the individual. It seems to have helped...for now.

I don't care about down-voting a specific post (I usually deserve it). What I thoroughly object to is a a person deliberately going through all of your posts and hitting them. I've had it a few times and think there is a better way to handle it than just ignoring it.

exactly what I'm talking about.
I don't care about the sporadic downvote or even a series of downvotes. However, it bothers me a bit when it goes on for few days time.

Should I send you a memo each time I personally and privately reach out to an individual who is abusing the system?
