Chris, have a look at my reply to the thatraja message. I used my member name and... it doesn't work properly if the name of member contains two or more elements, for example:
@Maciej Los
@Sergey Aleksandrovich Kryukov
@Peter Leow
@Christian Graus

You need to use your user name, not your display name. Usernames have no spaces and so work for all sorts of fun things (more to come). Display names are messy human readable things good only for messy human type creatures.
|
|
|
|
|
Let test it:
@Maciej-Los
@Maciej_Los
@Maciej Los
Which one would works?
|
|
|
|
|
Go to your profile and look at the top, underneath your name:
Maciej Los - Professional Profile
The "@losmac" bit is the magic.

Chris, thank you very much for explanation. I really do like new functionality of CP board and i think it would be better to use [display name] instead [user_name].
Is it possible to use alias ([display name] instead [user_name])? It would be something similar to: @[Maciej Los] (instead <a href="/Members/losmac">@losmac</a>)
What you think about it?

I have been seeing peoples down voting an answer which actually is not wrong. I suggest that if anyone tries to downvote any answer in Q/A section then he must require a comment about why he down voted it. It will help many peoples and stop inappropriate downvoting too.
Please consider it.
With Regards

The opposing view being that some members will not want to vote down other members for fear of retaliation. Of course, arguments are sure to ensue as well.
|
|
|
|
|
It is good don't you think. Someone will only down vote an answer if he has a good reason to down vote it and not because he has the ability to down vote it.
|
|
|
|
|
Of course this can't be beaten in any way, say by creating a sock puppet account specifically for downvoting.
|
|
|
|
|
There can be a way to add a flag method. If an account get 'n' number of flags based on the user's weight who has flagged it and in a given time interval, then that account is suspended. How about that?
|

What you are asking for is already in the articles, and there are still people voting 1 and giving comment "aäisrh a nc" or "my vote of 1" or whatever other nonsense.

That is already implemented (a.k.a. reports)
About the whole point... this is just making live more difficult to the CP-Staff programming things that only are useful for something that actually doesn't matter at all: a.k.a. Rep Points.
Take a look to the last sentence of my signature. If someone who you answered says "thank you, your answer helped me"... That should actually be the most important reward. The points... whatever
M.D.V.
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?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

This actually is a nice point  but I guess what you are saying about is actually implemented in case of articles. I actually wanted the very same to be implemented in case of answers in Q/A part. Yet, you actually have a strong point.
|

I'm saying that based on having seen the ugly face of people arguing on the internet before. Retaliation and arguments will happen. I've had people follow me around and downvote me because they got mad about something. Used to bother me, now... Not so much. I'm sure the longer you stay on the site the more you'll learn to be dismissive of people who don't deserve attention, they usually go away.
|
|
|
|
|
I definitely understand your point They might go away but they can stir your faith (if not yours then someone else' ) so a method to stop them must exist.
|
|
|
|
|
So are we revisiting this issue.
I would think that the following simple rules should apply:
1. No reason, no downvote. This would apply across all of CP.
2. No downvote for OP of a question.
Regards,
Gus Gustafson
