    How'd he become Gold with just 1 year 1 month, 1 message and 1 article? Whoever approved the article must've been nuts. I dont know if the same guy had approved his own article.If so, it's a flaw in the system. Only peers should be able to approve articles, self approval must be disallowed.

    1 article => bronze 1 message = beginning of the first 500 messages => adds one level => silver 1 year membership => adds one level => gold It's correct, this user just demonstrates that it is way too easy to get gold with the current rules.

      Somehow I dont think Chris wrote this one... http://www.codeproject.com/KB/grid/J.aspx[^] but his name on the article might have pushed it through the moderation.. How is it possible for dodgy article authors to put legitimate members on their author list? Is there some bug in codeproject?

      Indeed: note the 3 (at time of posting) articles requiring approval. They are simply shells with, probably, some rather flaky code attached. Strangely, they all appear to be from near or in a certain sub-continent. Is there a connection?

        Good suggestion norm. I'm sure their manager would do the same to him if they saw what kind of childish behaviour he exhibits.

            It's the new kind of denial of service attack targeted at CodeProject. Sadly all forums and article postings are flooded with this kind of sh*t. Maybe some of the regular members with established reputation should be promoted to moderators so that thay can delete content!

                    Yep, that's the main problem I see with the article queue right now. I also like Christians suggestion of "3 required for allow, 6 required for decline" Something like "Only platinum, but peterchen, too" would work for me :rolleyes:

                                It says it in his profile. =\

                                So the creationist says: Everything must have a designer. God designed everything. I say: Why is God the only exception? Why not make the "designs" (like man) exceptions and make God a creation of man?

                                  Yes, there is. You can add anyone as a coauthor by entering their ID, they do not need to validate it.

                                    Thats a known bug flaw. You can list co-authors without their permission.
