Very suspicious voting pattern
-
Chris I feel your pain, but VectorX makes 2 great suggestions such as Other things you should calculate in is looking at how many views the actual article receives and how many forum interest it has and how many actual votes it has. You could also limit to 5 votes a day from a block of ips. This would help for example because if you have 25 people vote for you in two minutes from a company at 1:00 am in the morning within 2 mins time frame, highly unlikely you have that much pull over your fellow employees, but if you did it would make it where they had to vote over multiple days. I am pretty sure my votes from work all look like they are coming through 1 IP Address. What a nightmare man....I say the only fair way is for codeproject to fly me out to India and challenge this dude to a code off and if that doesnt work, we can have a drinking competition and if that doesnt work a big old dust up should cover it, what do you say Chris, cant say fairer than this. For me I am just sick and tired of voting games, makes me quite angry actually, I was considering throwing in the old codeproject towel, but Pete O'Hanlon convinced me otherwise, so I will try and not let this sort of thing wranckle my otherwise excellent prestine feathers. All the best Chris

You're kidding, right? Bangladesh is a separate country and is not part of India. :~

It means that I don't think anything is really that serious on this site ;) But it mostly means that you're going to have to try far, far FAR harder to even remotely offend John. In fact I'm not even sure it's possible.

If calling him an "effeminate, clueless, Indian, rent-a-coder wannabe, W*F loving, asp.net web developer" doesn't work nothing will. :laugh:

That;s not going to even get him out of bed to bother answering it. I think you'd have to dig deep and mention his love of Celine Dion, small fuel efficient Korean cars and of spending his Sundays pamphlet dropping for the Peaceful Cardigan Wearers And Gun Control Activists Society. Then you may get a rise.

Hmmmmm. So you're suggesting that we have a "Let's see what we have to do to offend John" contest? I like it! :laugh:

Um...err... I'm going to go lock myself in the basement. Let me know when it's over.

OK, to kick it off...I think John actually likes to watch Dancing With The Stars, and afterwards locks himself in the bathroom and practices the dance steps he's just seen. Top that!

Man, this thread is really marching across the page! I can't even tell what you're responding to. But it sounds positive, so I guess no one will take immediate offense. :)

I watch it as a reasonable attempt to appease the gods. These are the same gods that ensure a good hunt, or victory in hand-to-hand combat (which doesn't include switching hands when slapping around ol' Mr. One Eye). Smart men do not intentionally anger the gods. :)

Actually, only one person has offended me here on CP, and it happened in 2003 (I think). I won't bother dredging it up again, but the person also left many other regular users aghast at what he said. Other than that one thing, Chris is right. People would generally have to work long and hard to find a way to offend me.

I don't even know what cardigan is. We actually have a Hyundai in the family. Celine Dione? I'd hit it - as long as her mouth is taped shut... and she's handcuffed... and tied to a... - oh wait. :)
