    You could not say definitively that Member B was in cahoots with A, there is no proof. There are often unusual voting patterns, but it really shouldn't concern people, points are not converted to money you know! Why should this bother you so much? You have been a member for 48 hours, so just enjoy the site. As for older votes, consider this... You answer a question, and are rewarded at the time. Some months later the OP posts back about a particular issue on that answer. This moves it back to the top of the Q&A list where others see the answer and think it good enough to upvote. That way it could be 3 months after the answer was given and points are awarded. Use the site before criticizing the metrics.

    ------------------------------------ I will never again mention that I was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel. Dalek Dave CCC Link[^] Trolls[^]

    I think, 2 months ago...I got a reply(Thanks note with vote) from OP for my answer. But the question(Crystal report) was almost 1 1/2 year old! I have answered that question when I was new to this site.

      For example, If Member A asks Member B to up-vote all Member A's answers, Member A would get more rep points. Does CP site handles such cases? If so, how? P.S: Actually I thought of this while I found one member was featured in top expert in last 24 hrs section (with more than 500pts in last 24hrs), but when I looked into this recent activities like posting answer, messages etc there were no such activity in last 24 hrs. I was wondering then how could that member get 500pts in last 24hrs. The example above, I would think of, is one possibility.

      While the site does (and rightly so in my opinon) handle vote-bombing which is abuse, I don't think the site should worry about an author/member social engineering his way to higher reputation levels. It's outside the scope of the site's voting system in my opinion.

        And I also agree with what Dave said, these cases are unusual patterns and doesn't bother much.

              I am not surprised. Without people like Deeksha, articles would not get edited. I'd say that was quite a contribution. What value have you added to CP?

                  It might have something to do with her staff status while editing articles. In any case, 1400 points certainly isn't enough to be concerned about because even without those points, her rep score still supported by her editing activities. EDIT =================== Why was this voted down? I just don't understand.
