I second this.

I know it has been mentioned before but I think a peer review forum would make a great addition to CP. Not just for novice programmers but for all of us wrestling with new patterns and approaches.

Very interesting. Seems to be using a SockPuppet account to boost his reputation - he's currently in the "Top Experts in the Last 24 Hours" with a total of 360.

Should we attack, en masse, and reduce that figure significantly?
Or just let him know we know?
Or will his account be suspended?

Well, I've let him know that we're on to him and I'm busy deleting the answers where he's posted the same answer two or three times to the same question (accepting all of them to get the rep boosted). I've stopped short of reporting him because it doesn't quite fall into the troll/spam/abusive categories - it's just plain dishonesty.

|
|
Perhaps he will report himself?

Surely being dishonest is abusing his priveleges as a member, is it not ?

I agree with you, nuke both accounts of all points! make him start afresh, and delete the sock puppet account.

What is all this obsession with Rep points?
Why on earth does someone care enough to game the system?

Vanity, or possibly an attempt to become an MVP by being seen as a high-rep user.
Of course, I have both a high-rep and an MVPship, so I must be the ultimate in vanity.

You have pretty much all the high level CP stuff, maybe one should create a yoda one just for you, the profile image you have overlaid on a codeproject orange shield would work just fine, and then it could be known as the JediMaster.

Chris / Sean,
Can you explain what's going on here?
In the the Mentors group there is a message (albeit an older one from May); Whats wrong with my article?[^]
Copy and paste his article link (as its not clickable) takes you to the article. Along the top of the article is is marked as; "closed because the object is approved to be publicly available. Reported by......"
So, I click on the members name to take me to his profile, and then click on his Article List (2 Articles) neither of which relate to the article marked as closed and publicly available.
All too confusing if you ask me..............

A bug. I've fixed the issue.
Briefly: a bunch of people had approved, but more had reported to have it closed, and our code to report what had happened looked at the majority report type which was actually "approved" because the reporters had all reported different things, though they all meant "close it!". An easy fix to check for intention of reporting instead of the actual report type.

nice pretty icons for the articles, tech blogs, etc...
Maybe I can get one of the pretty little shield icons that Pete the Protector has...No? Well, it was worth a shot.

I reckon they should give you an icon much like you have now, but with the nose coloured in brown.

And I reckon a little positive reinforcement now and again isn't a bad thing :P

I know, but I love pulling Slackers leg.
(P.S. Any chance of giving him the icon for one day only? I'm willing to pay )
|
|

|

Fair enough. He can have mine, for a very reasonable sum. I'll tell you how much you owe after you've paid up.
