Which makes a lot of sense, and probably shouldn't be changed.

I agree with you and it actually is a point not that relevant for what I am asking for, because it at least is consequent. I mean: message approved by and versions history match.

Seems logical. Never used that 'feature' so it didn't cross my mind

Fair points. Let me dig in a little and see what we can do to make more useful.
Thanks for the feedback.

Hi Chris...
Sorry, I bring a new point to dig about.
This item[^] was in moderation as an article, and it got approved after edition by the staff, then auto approved and it says "approved by editor or trusted writer" as I listed above. So far so good, but...
I have taken a look in the revisions list:
I am in the list of approvers, but I don't think I approved it. I did use the red flag though, to say "wrong type (tip, blog, article)" as I have done again.
@AkhilMittal, @ppolymorphe, @BryianTan, @User-59241 did you approve it? Or did you report it as well? (If report... which option? just in case it is useful for Chris' digging)

I don’t think I approved it. I think I reported it with a note “ maybe tip”

Hello CP,
I am an avid member and love to help the community. I loved Code Project. But recently I found something that hurt me badly and left me shocked.
I have been answering the community people. But I found that someone has downvoted all my articles and answers posted within an hour. So it looks like this not genuine downvoting.
This should be taken care to maintain the standard. Please correct me I am wrong.
Thanks & Regards

I cannot see any downvotes on your articles, but the two answers that got downvoted look more like comments. Perhaps you have made a comment that someone took offence to.
But in the grand scheme of things, votes will not buy you a new car, so just accept it as part of life in a public forum.
|
|
|
|

I understand but then why we have this point system even? This way I may target one particular member and downvote everything. So this is not an explanation.
Moreover, Even in the democracy voting won't buy you anything but still, it should be fair for the system to work properly.
Thanks & Regards

Like I said, it is part of the cost of working in a public forum. Down or Up votes make very little difference to your status here. Just accept that it will happen: trolls are everywhere. Don't waste time worrying about it but get on with doing what you enjoy.

One of two...
Someone from the staff has removed all downvoting, or you have looked wrong.
You have no downvotes in your articles or tips.

Not in your articles or tips when I yesterday checked them up.
About in your messages... seeing the message below, I think you deserve some of the downvotes.
In addition... complaining that much about the downvotes can make you a target for more downvotes.

I assume you're looking at your down-voted QA solutions?
My thoughts on your down-voted solutions from the first page:
Store procedure for making income tax[^]
This should have been posted as a comment, not a solution.
(Although, to be honest, I think the "we do not do your homework" answers should be comments as well, combined with reporting the question as "not a question". But that's a different discussion.)
Want to remove single quote from items inside json string using javascript[^]
A code dump with no explanation. In order to see the proposed solution, you have to scroll to the bottom of the code block. It also appears to be a C# solution, when the question was about Javascript.
How to use a variable to count from 1-10. Output the count to the user interface using a messagebox.show(); so that each number is displayed one at a time?[^]
Another code block with no explanation. Looking at the comments, the OP was struggling to implement your solution, and probably down-voted it for that reason.
Update 1st 5 digit of value[^]
Solution is for C#; the question was about SQL.
How do I generate random bank account number on C#[^]
No obvious reason for the down-votes.
How do I take numbers from textbox[^]
No obvious reason for the down-vote.
Cross domain call with ajax[^]
Answering your own question more than a year later, with an answer that's not particularly clear.
Beyond that, the first page has 12 questions with no votes, and one with two "5" votes. It certainly doesn't look like there's anyone "targeting" you.

There is no one particular person downvoting your answers. And not every answer is downvoted. I believe this is more generic downvoting from your peers.

Possibly a Leslie-ian remark, but I answered a Q&A with another option (Q&A was oldish, but got bumped to list top and who reads dates?).
Anyway - I got a down-vote - no big deal - but the answer wasn't horrible so I went to see what's going on. All answers in the Question [^] were down-voted. This applies to the three original (circa 2014) and the three new.
So - assuming it is brought to their attention, can the mighty curators of CP see who does this and "make further inquiry"?

I usually do, it helps spotting spammers

In my case, no need. I don't hide.
I have downvoted / reported two of them, Solution #4 which brought the item back to live and #6 because I find the answer brings nothing to the topic (and looking to the history of this user... one could think he is near to abuse/troll)
Yours was more than clear that it was a "collateral" error of the question being brought back to top.
I do agree that downvoting the original answers makes no sense though.

Same is happening to me. Someone is downvoting all Q&A without giving a thought. Looks like revenge or mad act.

If you've been here long enough, at least in The Lounge, the drive-by down voting for no rational reason is a contributing factor to why Lounge down-votes no longer take points from the poster.
Not everyone is as high-minded as we are!

Dear CodeProject's Team,
Today, I've made minor updates of my article Dockerize A Simple Web-Application Created By Using Python, Flask and PostgreSQL[^]. After that I still could not find Docker subsection under Web Development » Applications & Tools ». I've selected the different subsection. My article was successfully updated, *BUT*, not longer displayed in the list of Docker Contest entries.
Please help me to correct this.
Thanks in advance.

I think you'll be able to find the section now. Also, I see your article in the Entries now can you see it there?
Thanks,
Sean Ewington

Sean, Thanks a lot for your reply. Both, Docker section has become available and my article has appeared in the entries list again.
Thanks a lot for your assistance.
