I do.

Sure you do, provided you need it.
Over here, you need a fixed IP to offer a service, and then your Internet Provider
charges you extra for it. The regular provider subscription kicks you out every so many
hours, so you end up reconnecting, with different IP addresses each time.

I know all about how dynamic IPs work. I'm paying extra for static IPs (five of them).

It's too open to abuse and IP addresses are not a foolproof way of identifying someone. What if someone behind (one of) [Insert Large Company]'s firewalls misbehaves? Do I block all of their employees?

Absolutely. That's the repurcusion.

I'm sort of considering an article that models lounge behavior and explores this, coming up with algorithms that detect perversion but succeed at proper detection.

This is bad because many ISPs dynamically assign IP addresses.

I would like to nominate Sasha Barber.

Tricky - yup Sacha would be up there, but I'd also have to nominate Karl Shiflett (even though he does love his VB.NET). The Rockstar is also a great choice - but let's not forget Bill Sergio; the man's a legend in his own mind.

On your article page[^] it points to the correct article

With CP 2.0, we got the ability to change our votes. That's great. Really great. My sloppy mousing need no longer be a source of pain and frustration, at least not here.
But, there seem to be a fair number of people who do not yet realize that this is possible. I have a theory: since the voting form goes away when you submit your vote, it feels like a not-so-subtle hint that the action is irreversible. Granted, if you re-load the page then the form is back... but that requires to you reload and look for it.
Perhaps it would help if the form just didn't go away? Surely there's no technical reason why submitting votes needs to overwrite the form itself with the status...

It's merely aethetics.
I wonder how many people actually need to revote without a page refresh (eg an article update, a change of heart) in between?
Will add it to the TODO though.

What exactly does the Good/Bad Question buttons? Also, would it be possible to shrink them a little? They look kinda bloated...

They've been here for a little while now. I think it's to give others a sense of thumbs up/thumbs down rather than the 1 - 5. I know a few people mentioned in the beginning that they accidentally hit the wrong button.

|

That's probably a better approach than 1-5 voting. I also saw that there's a similar button setup for answers.
While I have your attention.. could you tell me what the fuzz is about? Send me a private message if you like. I've been away in the misty land of preparing-for-a-release for some time now, so I'm a little confused...

If you go to my blog I have an email address there. (The email button in CP seems to not be working 100%). Some of it is there; I'll send a detailed explanation over the weekend.

They anyway have the privilege of re-voting option also. Isn't it?

The classic CodeProject had a voting system that you can cast your opinion only once but can not change it then. But after the newer (.NET) version was launched, this behavior has changed. The new opinion (vote) would take preference of the former one.
Also, as a matter of coincidence, when I am composing this note, there is another suggestion at the top of the forum by Shog who has suggested having the revoting capability more obvious. Here is the permalink of that thread:

Replaces "1" and "5". I'm not interested in whether a question is a "3". I want to be able to highlight the good and the bad. I'll be adding more features very soon.
They are bigger than normal to highlight them (for the moment)

This article http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WPF/ConceptualChildren.aspx[^] seems to have 29 votes, all 5. When I hold mouse cursor on 5th bar of the small barchart it says 9 votes 100.0% yet the article total score is: 4.78. Two problems:
1- If 100% of votes are 5, then why it's 9 out of 29.
2- If all voters gave 5, then why total score is not 5?
I'm not sure the second to be a bug, but it's likely to be.
