Don't know - somewhere in Iran I assume. Again I suspect Chriss could narrow it down a lot, but I don't have access to that info.

I suspect it is: Amirkabir University of Technology - Tehran Polytechnic
I searched for the member on Google, found his linkedin profile and it says he is currently studying there.

I didn't think of that...

I just Hope That it is Not a Swiss Guy, could eventually be my fault for telling my Tutor about The CP?

No it is not, definitely Iran.

Puuh, lucky me. I documented my final project here, but it seems to be good enough to get 5* votes. If it wouldve been a Swiss Guy I'd offered to have a serious talk with him.

There must be something in CP "legalese" that prevent using CP as a homework dump.
I'd rather be phishing!

They may have trouble with reputation points. It can be one step forward three steps back.

And furthermore it could adversely affect other developers from the area.

hows that? by others ganging up and downvoting ?
|
|
|
|
|
If some of us downvote anything from anyone whose profile says "Iran (Islamic Republic Of)".
Mind you, I wouldn't. 
|
|
|
|
|
I find it strange that a vote of 1 or 2 is the same as a single down vote.
You loose points.
|
|
|
|
|
Send me the email of the tutor.
We could actually do this properly.

Is trying to take a chewtoy away from a pack of rabid dogs really a good idea?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Trouble is, it's one of those "win-win" ideas for the tutor: He gets to sit on his backside doing diddly-squat while his students get educated by us. His wages are the same, but he puts in less effort. Next year, he does it again - and so does all his mates. Pretty soon, you end up with this place being flooded with rubbish posted just to get rep points to pass a course, and you can't see the wood for the trees anymore. It's already difficult to use the moderation queue when there is a competition on - it only displays five articles at a time and it tends to get so full of "waiting" entries that real articles stand no chance of being seen let alone voted on.
It's a bit like the "outsource manufacturing" idea: an accountant saw he could save $1 per unit by laying off all his production workers and getting it built in China. Another accountant saw that, and before you know it nobody can afford to make anything locally, unemployment is high, and company profits falling because nobody has the money to buy what was made offshore because they haven't got a job!

No. IfWhen all of his students fail because their rep was reduced to a smoking crater during the same larting that obliterated their worthless crap articles, he'll be in deep sh*t and hopefully will be spending the next semester asking the local equivalent of "do you want fries with that?"

Trouble is, we have to find them all and squash them all - or he just blames the ones who did get found for being rubbish. If one gets through...
It's sounding like a disaster movie (a very low budget disaster movie): I keep expecting a post "There's only one place that can save the world now: 'Laboratoires Garnier'..."

If they're all rubbish they'll get squished with the rest of the daily trash. If one or two actually manage to write something worth keeping it'll just make it harder for him to try and curve his failure with the rest of the class away. The only way he can win is if most of his students manage to produce good content; and if that happens we all win too.

Wish I had it. Dave has found the college: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4711951/Re-Oh-oh-Bad-news-chaps.aspx[^] (clever chap!) if that helps, and I'm guessing the tutor is a member or he wouldn't send 'em here.
If you are thinking of invoicing him, I'd be happy to throw a couple of hours of my time into the bill...and would donate them to CP if it helps kill this.

Do you know what the worst part is? It is a freakin' brilliant idea!
I am not condoning the way he is doing it, but It eases the tutor's work and it exposes the students to a much bigger world beyond the class room. I think the guy actually thought outside the box on this one, but I hope we don't have to deal with a bunch of low-quality submissions.

That is ridiculous. Your CP reputation is built on a whole lot more than one article. You may have written several more articles than I, but being a new member, have much lower rep. Now if he used the article's score after a certain time, it would be about one tenth better.

well, that's not the attitude, is it young man? We should surely be applauding this initiative and encouraging people to post good articles?
