For example, If Member A asks Member B to up-vote all Member A's answers, Member A would get more rep points.
Does CP site handles such cases? If so, how?
P.S:
Actually I thought of this while I found one member was featured in top expert in last 24 hrs section (with more than 500pts in last 24hrs), but when I looked into this recent activities like posting answer, messages etc there were no such activity in last 24 hrs. I was wondering then how could that member get 500pts in last 24hrs.
The example above, I would think of, is one possibility.

|

Example...
Someone answers 10 questions over 24 hours ago.
The people he answered each accept the answers given, thus 250 points to start with...
A few platinums upvote at 40 points a time and the 500 plus points are gained within the current 24 hours without an answer being given.

Dave, your example is genuine case where top performers get rewarded.
But, my question is, What if Member B intentionally up-votes Member A's few months old 40 answers in 15 minutes? Member A would then easily get 400pts even if Member B is silver.
So, does CP handles such cases?
|

|
|

You could not say definitively that Member B was in cahoots with A, there is no proof.
There are often unusual voting patterns, but it really shouldn't concern people, points are not converted to money you know!
Why should this bother you so much?
You have been a member for 48 hours, so just enjoy the site.
As for older votes, consider this...
You answer a question, and are rewarded at the time.
Some months later the OP posts back about a particular issue on that answer.
This moves it back to the top of the Q&A list where others see the answer and think it good enough to upvote.
That way it could be 3 months after the answer was given and points are awarded.
Use the site before criticizing the metrics.

I think, 2 months ago...I got a reply(Thanks note with vote) from OP for my answer. But the question(Crystal report) was almost 1 1/2 year old! I have answered that question when I was new to this site.

your effort not wasted

Look at the Rep Points FAQ - the number of up and down votes a member can get for various items is limited. For instance, a user can get no more than 25 up and down votes in a given day. The same holds true for up/down votes for Q/A answers.

While the site does (and rightly so in my opinon) handle vote-bombing which is abuse, I don't think the site should worry about an author/member social engineering his way to higher reputation levels. It's outside the scope of the site's voting system in my opinion.

|
|
|

And I also agree with what Dave said, these cases are unusual patterns and doesn't bother much.

Am also very surprised after seeing this CP Staff[^] profile, how she got rep. points without posting anything..

I am not surprised. Without people like Deeksha, articles would not get edited. I'd say that was quite a contribution. What value have you added to CP?

Agree!!, even my Tip also edited by Deeksha only.
Quote: What value have you added to CP?
My doubt is how she gets 1460 under Author, where articles are 0.???
|
|

|

It might have something to do with her staff status while editing articles. In any case, 1400 points certainly isn't enough to be concerned about because even without those points, her rep score still supported by her editing activities.
EDIT ===================
Why was this voted down? I just don't understand.

I created a tag this morning "StoredProcedures" and it has been longer than 1 hour and it has not updated in the Tag's list. I have noticed this in the past, as well.
[edit] I see it now but it still shows no items associated to the tag in the master tag list.
Just along for the ride.

Currently the author (or the editor) can tag an article or tip/trick. Would it make sense if the readers would also have the opportunity to add (separate) 'reader' tags.
Obviously these tags wouldn't describe the article from the content point of view but from the readers point of view. For example tags could include things like level of the information, usefulness on different areas etc.
As the current tags, these wouldn't be predefined, but would have a life of their own.
I'd feel that this would be kind of an addition to the voting system giving more information about the article. Currently this kind of information is quite scattered in the comments.

My Name is B.Mohanasundaram and my profile name is manohar_balu. My mail Id given to codeproject is -email edited out-
I am a Software Engineer working in a private company in India. I am a member since 2004. I used to post messages for my queries.
I can see that somebody with profile name "shanmugarajaa" has hacked my account from December 2009. All my messages before November 2009 that shows up as manohar_balu are showing in his profile - "shanmugarajaa"
I can remember that When I was unable to login my account manohar_balu at that time, I simply clicked lost password and my profile is changed as "manoharbalu" which I did not realize at that time.
Hence my message posts in my current profile "manoharbalu" starts only from December 2009 onwards. Also My membership shows up only as later 2009.
The profile name hacked is "manohar_balu"
My current profile name is "manoharbalu"
The Profile I suspect is "shanmugarajaa"
Kindly check the profile "shanmugarajaa" and "manoharbalu" and "manohar_balu" and resolve my problem and transfer all my messages, my profile membership data (year my profile created) and my original points everything to my profile "manoharbalu"
Kindly treat this problem as serious and Please also try to prevent these kind of hacking in future and allow only genuine users.

I thought that when we have some people who forget that we have answered to their questions so how about having some people who want to transfer their scores in place of having their questions answered well.
Think of a person who is prepared to give you +500 score from his scores It's very tempting 
And it was just a proposal and in the world of companies competitions, it's not an unusual happening that a company try to offer something that already another company offered to people.
For example Yahoo provided free mail service to its users and Google proposed it to its users. Then Google provided a lot of space for free and Yahoo did too, to not be left behind.
