Reputation is overrated...

I would prefer a coffee mug, but the witch already has to have a full cupboard by now...

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

On the bright side, I *always* have a clean codeproject mug at hand.

I'm sure Chris would be happy to send you a bill for the recruitment fee, if you insist on paying one. Big Grin | :-D

Yes, it's paid in rep points - but once taxes are assessed, you normally end up out of pocket ... Big Grin | :-D

Serial downvoters still exist on CodeProject?

I've just updated one of my new articles this morning and got a 1/5 without leaving any comment or interesting suggestion. The vote was not removed because the article is relatively new and has not got enough upvotes. I also got another 1/5 on another article but this one was removed because the article has enough upvotes.

Do serial downvoters still exist on CodeProject?

Well, I can't speak for any of the others, but...

Seriously, I see no reason to vote an article a 1 when I can report it as "Extremely poor quality" or something instead. Not meaning yours, of course. Not sure I saw it.
In so many cases, I feel I'm not qualified to judge an article, so I don't.

This. This is helpful, where a one star is not, especially if you point out weak areas that could use improvement.

Apparently there are plenty of peeps (not saying you) that feel qualified enough to argue on them though.

Definitively yes.

No problem, vote deletion can happen later too. If enough upvotes come, then it will disappear. The "age" of the vote has nothing to say in that balance

Hi! Just a quick note to let you know that when you report an article as spam (as you just did with two of them) you also need to report the user as well, both on their home page, and on the Spam and Abuse Watch Discussion Boards[^].
If you don't, then when the article closes we have no way to dispose of the spammer and that just makes his job easier next time.

You also get a little extra rep as a "thank you" when you do that.
When you report in S&A, please make sure the title of the article and the username appear in the subject line - that way we don't get multiple reports of the same spam!

And not only with articles. Everyone here gets it from time to time even in the forums.

It's a shame when you put so much time and effort on an article and someone who even didn't read it come and vote 1/5 without leaving any reason or any comment.

Yeah, it's disappointing, but some people just want to be jerks.

What you learned is not correct and has been discussed many times: No votes (at least dwon votes) without comments.

On the other hand, speaking of a series after two downvotes is also quite questionable Wink | ;)
