You've probably already thought about this, but what if there wouldn't be downvotes? Just neutral/upvote and ability to comment?
For voting there would be 0, +1, and +2 (current 3, 4, and 5). This would allow upvoting and voting towards neutral. If an article/post/answer is considered as bad (current 1 and 2), then the only option is to comment.

I sympathize with your sense of "injustice," and, fwiw, I make it a practice to leave comments/suggestions rather than "blind down-vote."
Unfortunately, requiring signed down-voting sometimes leads to revenge down-voting, and distracting disputes.
if an article is such a disaster that I think it should not have been posted in its current state, I report it.
But, compared to StackOverflow's ruthless content policing, I'd say CP is a "happy valley" where lions don't eat the lambs 
The cruel facts of life include the possibility that you may have done your best, and it will be ignored, or, misunderstood.
Hopefully, you have a sense of satisfaction that persists !
cheers, Bill

Hi Bill
I feel the empathy in your words, and... thanks
(I already had a bad experience with StackOverflow. I wrote an article about the side effects of "asyn-await". It was censured, don't know why. The same article on CodeProject is doing well. It's a mystery.)

Probably because StackOverflow doesn't have a section for publishing articles; it's entirely about questions and answers.
The closest you'd get to an article on SO is posting a detailed answer to someone else's question. But it would have to be relevant to the question that was asked.

It was posted as a question
|
|
|
|
|
But was it framed as a question?
Just as in our quick answers[^] section, if you post a question which is actually meant to be an article, it will be closed as "not a question". The difference is that on CodeProject, hopefully someone will post a comment first advising you to post it as an article. On SO, there is no option to post an article, so the question will just be closed.
Similarly, if you frame it as a question and then quickly post your own solution, it would likely be reported for "rep point hunting".

This question How do I get original record and duplicate of same record to show up from a query
Is showing twice on the question list when Load More is pressed. Both are pointing to the exact same question.
What I see in the list is
0 How do I display dynamic data in custom Google map?
1 Change datagridview coolumn as combobox
1 How to create customized alert, confirm and prompt function in ASP.NET C#
2 How do I get original record and duplicate of same record to show up...
0 How to tar all files in a MAC trash bin (if at all possible)
2 How do I get original record and duplicate of same record to show up...
2 Error with the term else
1 Clarification concerning how a reference type value is stored in the heap?
1 How to write a binary search tree to a text file

This can happen when our two Follow Servers get slightly out of sync. This shouldn't happen, but occasional network or database errors can cause this to happen. Since we only retrieve the additional data for the list, you might see data you don't expect.
When we notice this, we force a recrawl of the data to resync the servers.
Since this data updates quickly, due to the number of questions asked each day, the problem solves itself as new info is added to the list.
As this is just a minor, very temporary, irritant, I don't think we will be addressing this.
The effort to monitor and automatically correct differences in the two servers is too large for the benefit.

Hi,
I received a comment a while ago that a reader is not able to upvote my article.
State Machine Framework in C
I am not sure is a glitch or some other issue. Also, I can't verify if anybody else is also facing the same issue.

Thanks very much for the report. I am able to vote on your article, so it seems to be working now at least!

When trying to get a permalink the link looks fine but it doesn't navigate to the correct message.
For example this link Spam Account?

It is working for me.
What browser are you using?
"Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana."

Odd, now it's working also for me. I haven't even restarted the browser...
Either way I'm using Firefox (ver 88 Win 64)

Hi,

State Machine Framework in C
Recently the article status changed to "This article is currently in progress. This version is not yet publicly viewable" when I modified readme file in the github.
However, after publishing the article still its showing the same message.
regards,

I've alerted the editors. They will look into it.

Every new Article, or Tip, or Technical Blog entry, or Project goes into an approval queue, that awaits either an editor or approval from the community. Turnaround time during business hours is usually pretty quick, but sometimes articles can take a little longer.
Your Project is now live.

So the inline formulas are written as <span class="math">\( a \cdot b \)</span> but as soon as I put these in the next time either the Codeproject editor (or maybe some staff member?) edits the article the <span class="math"> and <span> tags are automatically removed. So they don't show up as formulas anymore. (I had to trick the editor in the question here as well but basically the same happens if I write this: \( a \cdot b \) )

Gary in The Lounge[^] is all there, but it is about 4 screens wide.
I haven't gone spelunking in the CSS; I'll leave that to someone with a map and compass.
If it matters, FF 88.0.1/Ubuntu 20.04LTS.
Cheers,

It's OK for me:

Hmmm it's all good now. Maybe a cache/update hiccup? I didn't try ctrl-F5 originally.

The word "Multicart" is a link, but doesn't but highlighted so it's only noticeable if you hover the mouse over it. As you can see it also doesn't appear in the detection details summary.
I've killed it to prevent others letting it through, but hopefully that should be enough to duplicate teh problem ...
