Speaking of not useful, you've done it again. The more you post, the more useless I see your opinions are. Keep it up and my profile filter will just about be done with you.

I think any criticism without a base or a reason will be converted to something destructive.
Consider 2 children talking about 2 pictures of 2 cars. One might say "The left one is better" while the other believes "No, the right one...."
I believe "when there is no base, or reason the result of a voting is not reliable."
But we want a quick way to measure qualities as well, we must think about a better way.
What I suggested was an idea that people mostly did not like. I hope some one with a better idea comments.
I personally like the fact that here most of those who gave me 1, were reasonable logical peoples who described the reason of their disagreement. I just wanted that such a thing happens wherever there is a bad rating.

People who will give constructive feedback already do. Forcing others to do so just doesn't work.
If your article or post is truely worthy, overtime the 5 votes will out weigh the 1 votes.
This is the internet, the home of the annoyimous (sic). The best bet is to ignore those who don't add anything constructive to the debate and conversations. Otherwise you'll just end up going mad.

Thanks. Absolutely acceptable.
What made me angry and pushed me to place that request was that I asked a question in a board, some one kindly answered and then I saw a 1 in his box! I had to describe him that it was not me who gave you 1.
But what you mentioned is correct. I have to change the way I look at votes.

Due to the fact that someone's message is not as important as shutdowning the whole production server(I normally disable this feature for the testing boxes).

I don't agree, but as we are here in teh suggestions-foum - I have one.
Would it be possible to write in front of 1 'poor' and at the end of 5 'ver good' ore something like this. As in our school-system 1 is very good and 5 is poor, this has been confusing me at the beginning here.
It's only a suggestion, thanks, Gerhard

Hey guys, I just got a weird idea. It's not about programming. It's about a little "greeny" friend we have here. I've been surfing on CodeProject since its early starts. I've always saw that little green mascot near every CodeProject titles. Does someone knows if it have a name? If not, should we do a little contest to give it one? I think we have to do this if it's not already done.
Think about it!
Cheers,
Stef

Trying to read these forums with a brightly-colored, animated ad at the left is like trying to read a book with someone flashing a light in your left eye. Good design principles (you'd never read a book that way) should never be trumped by greed.
Um. I guess you are being sarcastic because I've seen your ads here too.

The Osmosian Order wrote: But back to the point. Would you allow someone to flash a lamp at your side while you were trying to read? I think not. So why should we - as a society of technology "users" - accept animated advertisments on our screens, our televisions, etc?
If you'd been around for a while, you'd know that I hate advertising in all its forms - however some times it is a necessary evil. Places like CP cannot survive without it. A few ads here and there are the price we pay for having this wonderful free service.
Personally, I'd prefer to have the option of subscribing to the site and see pages without ads. $20 a month would be a small price to pay.

I think you'd struggle to get all 3 million to pay. (Personally, I think you'd find less than 1000 members who'd pay) The idea has been suggested before and not really taken off. CodeProject is as valuable to me as my MSDN subscription, so $20 a month seems a reasonable price to pay.

People tend to be cheap. They'll take a resource that gives them much benefit for granted until it's gone and it's too late.

How about a "parent link" on messages? Sometimes it's hard to find the parent of a reply, especially in large threads, spanning over several pages.

That's generally a good idea. However, some threads become huge. If threads become huge, the servers have to work harder per transaction, CPU-wise as well as network-wise. This could potentially render CP slow.

I'm starting to do development work targeting Vista, using XAML and other aspects of WPF. I'm sure I'm not alone, would be nice to have a forum resource for these new technology areas.

Is it possible to run a new category for those who want to place an article about a new idea?, or at least a board for people to suggest a new title for an article.
I'm not sure if patents and idea ownership,... can make problem?
