IMO all votes for articles, tips/tricks, quick questions, should require a message; I see little value in anonymous or unexplained votes, whether high or low.
in fact I would make the vote buttons available only on the reply editor page (the article/TT/QA page should say "you can vote on the reply editor page"); and I would set a low treshold for "vote to remove this message" to become effective.
OTOH I don't mind (and probably prefer) forum voting to remain as it is, anonymous, no message required, for programming and non-programming forums.

At least the article votes should contain a comment. If i get 11 votes of 5 and a single vote of 1 on an article i would at least like to know the reason. This kind of article bashing is quite demotivating. I would also like to be able to review my own votes by having a list of articles i voted on and how. This way i could correct my own votes in case articles improve.

I got voted one for what I think was no reason. I thought it was a nice little tip / trick.
But then that was my opinion and not someone else's.

We need to put in place the "add a comment" thing for the tips, and we'll separate the average ratings for the different types of articles.

Ouh, great idea. That way, on the entry page a message could be displayed, saying "Codeproject: total number of messages: 2,653,748. Messages posted by "Teh" Cpianism: 166. That's an overall-bullshit level of approx. 0.0063 %! (Posts from the past done under different names not factored in.)"

My rep points on the Question Answers Forum and the Graph don't seem to tally anymore.

Actually, they do tally, but the graph seems to be several steps behind what the reputation value in quick answers is showing (which appears to be the higher of the two).

please:
1. eradicate http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=6855313[^]
2. fix the first rule in "How to get an answer to your question" everywhere:
"Choose the correct forum for your message. Posting a VB.NET question in the C++ forum will end in tears."
to state clearly "pick one and only one forum"

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. I was supporting your two suggestions.

sure, however when I looked at the forum again, all I saw was a single 1-vote and your reply, so one possibility was you having clicked the wrong vote button unintentionally.
BTW: congrats on your MVPship.

I don't think it was me, but if my finger slipped I apologise, I'm usually quite careful about voting.

And yours too; I'm still not sure I deserve it but will bask in its glory for the rest of this year.

Are you a multi-poster tracker.
|
|
|
|
|
is that a rhetorical question?
|
|
|
|
|
No it is a figure of speech in the form of a question posed for its persuasive effect without the expectation of a reply.
|
|
|
|
|
I'm more of a multi-track poster then.
