I just discovered that CodeProject lets you rate your own articles. I just rated my new article[^] a 5 and gave myself 40 points.
Is this by design or is this a bug?

Post this in the Suggestions and Bugs forum.

He will, just as soon as he's done voting for his own articles.

I did and it seems it is allowed by design. Saves us time creating sock puppet accounts and upvoting

Not much different from creating a sock puppet and doing so. :shrug:
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

It would take a lot of effort to get a sock puppet to the point to where it could award you 40 points.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

But it would be easy for 4 sock puppets to give you 40 points.
What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

There's experience talking.

I can't see why the author should be excluded from voting. On the other hand I don't see the benefit of voting your own articles, I'd rather let others to judge the content

Some people are under the mistaken assumption that the reputaion points on any given public forum actually means something, or or the the points have an intrinsic value that transfers over to them personally.
Given the opportunity, how many facebook people would "like" themselves a billion times to give the appearance that they are somehow popular?
It was broke, so I fixed it.

51K for random bad jokes, clicking on this that or assisting the occasional noob in Q&A, but no real effort spent.
Hasn't helped me at all professionally. I'm sure that if I mention my rep points at review time they add 10% to my merit raise...

On CP the points do mean something, since privileges are unlocked by gaining reputation. I certainly don't want spammers to have the power to post articles without moderation or to approve their spamming buddies' articles. I also don't want trolls to disapprove legitimate articles or edit other people's questions for fun.

Seems like it's definitely a bug, we can't upvote our own comments here or accept our own Q&A answers, so it seems weird that articles are different. And even if it's by design, surely it shouldn't award rep points.

It seems to be by design and it does award points.
