    Personally, I think Code Project would be a better place if the entire content of India were blocked. Flame away folks! hahahaha. [edit] And to defend the indefensible: where do most of the plagiarized articles come from? where do most of the pointless posts come from? where do most of the "urgent, hlp mee plz" comments come from? from where do I personally receive the most solicitations for free help in my inbox every day? hmmm? ;P [/edit] Marc

    My word! Shocking behaviour. ps, why would someone care about the message posting count?? I thought the point of a lounge was a place to hang out and chew the fat, not score meaningless points. Well thats how I see it anyway

      Same here. It's not that I hate Indians* or I'm a racist, I just don't like the CP's recent trend, which is mostly determined by Indians. About the edit: fully agreed. *) Nish[^] is way cool, for example.

        At first I was positive you're just joking. But the replies... made me wonder. I think that if we had a reset message count on Satips profile and probably others and we'd all had the pleasure of ticking them, Satips (and others) posts will disappear. I'm not sure we would have a solution for your inbox though. :rolleyes:

          How about a feature to ignore users so you don't see their threads or replies.

          a little bit of GreaseMonkey action could take care of that. does CPHog have that feature ?

                Humor often hides the truth, or at least the perception that people have of something but are usually unwilling to express that perception because it isn't politically correct. So we resort to humor as a kind of emotional pressure relief valve. Marc

                  Mates, I'm going nuts over the posts of people like suckTips & Vasud..(A name as lengthy as a permalink URL). a Gem Sample[^]. Do we need messages like this?? The severity of that is the wild spreading of sucktips epidemic. More and more people's messages are starting to look like the above two's. That's very clear that both of these people's intention is to make a message_count++. (I wish we have a resetMsgCount() function enabled on their profiles.) Both of you listen, When you are about to post something, just make a stop and see if it's going to interest atleast some of the Loungers here. [Satips, dont count on Vasud..& vice versa.It's not appicable, Both of your message is going to interest each other.It doesn't count. loungers means THE geniune Loungers] Ok, it's not too late. Let's stop with these two. The idea is to remove any Juicy, fruity-way-to-Louge-Hyperlink that's taking these people to the lounge. and we all know the secret door(URL) to get into the Lounge. So let's use it and atleast it needs to be implemented for a while. It's just like the creatures getting out of the hell & landing up on earth.(just like we saw in "Hell Boy". Sucktips & Vasud the hellBoys. They're enough & no more creatures needed to spoil the sanity of the Lounge. Let's lock it and let the Lounger's live happily. :-D. Ofcourse, this is just a rant. Just for fun. Byebye. Long live Loungers!

                      Hey Ashish, maybe you can do another cellphone project where you actually post your projects over a cellphone, connected to a PC (sitting for example in the US), from which the article or message is posted to CP. Would make a great article :-D

                            I should've pointed that one out. I dont have any "Third-world-countries" concept (as often used by John) I wont even dare to call them so, because it's not about the country, but the people without common sense. We have Nish, Rama from India.. and If I'm right we have Vunic , Vikram and the people who have just replied you here they are all from India too. There's absolutely nothing wrong with them.Meanwhile we have a gem from the United States. Mr Kyle. So it's about the individual.

                              What I want is irrelevant. I could use the cliche "to every rule there are exceptions", but that's not the point either. The real point, and to my utmost surprise, is that I received four 5 votes in a matter of minutes. Does that mean people agree with me? Interesting implications, if that is the case. Something to think about. Marc

                                Of course it is. So? Does labelling it racist somehow change the reality of the situation? Does calling it racist mean I shouldn't have written what I said? Let's call something racism when it truly is, rather than using the word racism to obscure the issue. Marc

                                  Your place for 16,503 free Visual Studio and .NET articles, code snippets, discussions, news and the best bunch of developers on the net. Indians not welcome. Maybe I'm naive, but I find it surprising your post has been voted seven straight 5s instead of being marked as abuse. (And no, I haven't voted)

                                    Of course it is. So? Does labelling it racist somehow change the reality of the situation? Does calling it racist mean I shouldn't have written what I said? Let's call something racism when it truly is, rather than using the word racism to obscure the issue. Marc

                                    I was being sarcastic with the picture, I hate it when people whine about racism.

                                      Personally, I think Code Project would be a better place if the entire content of India were blocked. Flame away folks! hahahaha. [edit] And to defend the indefensible: where do most of the plagiarized articles come from? where do most of the pointless posts come from? where do most of the "urgent, hlp mee plz" comments come from? from where do I personally receive the most solicitations for free help in my inbox every day? hmmm? ;P [/edit] Marc

                                      Thanks for posting what most of us already think (er, know). The good thing is that they're all making work for real talent to come in and capitalize. Most of their code is horrid, like the plagerized articles, "Please Help" posts, etc, etc, etc. Kudos to you.

                                        Your place for 16,503 free Visual Studio and .NET articles, code snippets, discussions, news and the best bunch of developers on the net. Indians not welcome. Maybe I'm naive, but I find it surprising your post has been voted seven straight 5s instead of being marked as abuse. (And no, I haven't voted)

                                        Cheers, Vıkram.

                                        Just for the record, so am I. Teaches you something though, doesn't it. But why exactly should my post have been marked for abuse? Marc

                                          My word! Shocking behaviour. ps, why would someone care about the message posting count?? I thought the point of a lounge was a place to hang out and chew the fat, not score meaningless points. Well thats how I see it anyway

                                          To put "Active member of CodeProject community dedicated to teaching and mentoring junior developers as well as advancing computer skills and knowledge" in his resume (not good in bs'ing) and then of course mum the fact that most of his posts were in the lounge...
