    I ask you to not cross-post. I deleted the question where you were asking about the downvotes.

    I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

      I think I can help you with that. On my briefly visits in the Q&A forum i noticed few things. 1) if in the comments and/ or Solution section this member has a post you don't need to make an effort to answer anything. No matter what you write, know, or how long you know it you are wrong. 2)If the same member replies after your post be ready to get an short explanation of few paragraphs(250 words +) why you are wrong and you need to give up programming, and go to work in some fast food chain 3)Even if Chuck Norris is scared to answer or say something to the same member. 4)If you get downvoted i am sure that the member has pretty good idea why and by whom. If you are nice you can get a little essay explaining where you are wrong.See 2)

        If you think that's bad, wait until you piss off some teenager by telling him you won't do his homework for him so he comes back and downvotes every single post of yours that he finds. Seriously, don't let it bother you. The points mean exactly nothing and the fact that someone downvoted you means exactly zero.

        Thanks for that. It can happen with teenagers But I have read in "Code Project Rating and Reputation FAQ" in Help => General FAQ. Downvote without comments cannot be treated as proper one.

          She used the joke icon. :) Although some of them are true IMO, I don't recommend you to be afraid of that member. If you know your solution is better, defend it. Just like what Kornfeld did. Just be sure to deliver your side clearly and politely so you won't be misunderstood. ;)

          If this is true, downvotes is not an issue anymore.

            Yes, but not everyone sticks to the rules. Remember that there are over 10,000,000 members here, and that is bound to include at least one troll or unicellular life-form.

                Not just teenagers either! We do have some members who seem to be trying to make a career by getting us to do their (paid) work for them. They can be dickheads just as much as students...

                  Ignore it. Rep points aren't convertible into money, and if you let the downvoter know it annoys you then he wins - it gives him an incentive to do it again because it means he is having an effect. We all get stalkers from time to time: some are upvote stalkers who will give you a 5 for anything and everything you post, even if it's just "LOL". Some are downvoters who will go through your history and downvote everything you have ever done. It's not important, and it doesn't matter - unless you actually let it matter to you: and then they win.

                      I only have a tip for you: if you don't care about angry downvoters, then they won't have any power on you.

                      public enum Bool {
                      True, False, ForSure, Maybe, ProbablyNot, Depends, NotDecidedYet, Undefined
                      }

                        Yes, you never will know and you can't change it. I wrote hundred answers in the SharePoint section, got one or two upvotes and a lot of downvotes. One wrote me, he wasn't able to use my answer because he didn't know anything about sharepoint. A few days after that someone upvoted all the questions but not one of my answers. So I decided, when my answers won't help anybody, I have to stop answering questions. I have more time now, because I don't read those boards and questions and I don't have to write answers.
