When posting an alternate Tip/Trick shouldn't it rather be in the users Tip/Tricks section rather than the Quick Questions Answered?

Yes sir. I'll add it to the bug list.

It seems we need to address voting abuse in the Tips/Tricks, as well as Quick Answers...
Further, voting on tips/tricks should NOT affect your average article score BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT THE SAME THING.

I think we should just make the votes be displayed publicly for all technical forums and publications (articles, quick question answers, tips/tricks, etc.,).
We should also be able to remove spurious votes (of course, "spurious" should be something that the community would agree with). I don't know how can this be done, but the cowardly low votes can be irritating, no matter if it's on an article, answer on a technical forum or quick answer system, etc., It can discourage a potential contributor from participating.
Thins like the lounge, soapbox, etc., can maintain privacy anonymity of votes so the cowards can rejoice. On the other hand, I also think that some posts on the leisurely discussion forums like lounge begs for one votes (and to be removed), so in which cases we can't expect people to come and explain why they voted 1. It could be bleeding obvious. But it isn't the same with contributions to the community in any way and so low votes on contributions should be justified.

1's and 2's are indicated via the "My Vote of x" message that it forces you to leave (unless you know how to vote that way without leaving a message).

IMO all votes for articles, tips/tricks, quick questions, should require a message; I see little value in anonymous or unexplained votes, whether high or low.
in fact I would make the vote buttons available only on the reply editor page (the article/TT/QA page should say "you can vote on the reply editor page"); and I would set a low treshold for "vote to remove this message" to become effective.
OTOH I don't mind (and probably prefer) forum voting to remain as it is, anonymous, no message required, for programming and non-programming forums.

At least the article votes should contain a comment. If i get 11 votes of 5 and a single vote of 1 on an article i would at least like to know the reason. This kind of article bashing is quite demotivating. I would also like to be able to review my own votes by having a list of articles i voted on and how. This way i could correct my own votes in case articles improve.

I got voted one for what I think was no reason. I thought it was a nice little tip / trick.
But then that was my opinion and not someone else's.

We need to put in place the "add a comment" thing for the tips, and we'll separate the average ratings for the different types of articles.

Ouh, great idea. That way, on the entry page a message could be displayed, saying "Codeproject: total number of messages: 2,653,748. Messages posted by "Teh" Cpianism: 166. That's an overall-bullshit level of approx. 0.0063 %! (Posts from the past done under different names not factored in.)"

My rep points on the Question Answers Forum and the Graph don't seem to tally anymore.

Actually, they do tally, but the graph seems to be several steps behind what the reputation value in quick answers is showing (which appears to be the higher of the two).

please:
1. eradicate http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=6855313[^]
2. fix the first rule in "How to get an answer to your question" everywhere:
"Choose the correct forum for your message. Posting a VB.NET question in the C++ forum will end in tears."
to state clearly "pick one and only one forum"

3. Another one[^], a severe recidivist even.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. I was supporting your two suggestions.

sure, however when I looked at the forum again, all I saw was a single 1-vote and your reply, so one possibility was you having clicked the wrong vote button unintentionally.
BTW: congrats on your MVPship.

I don't think it was me, but if my finger slipped I apologise, I'm usually quite careful about voting.

And yours too; I'm still not sure I deserve it but will bask in its glory for the rest of this year.
