Article ranking calculation

That's the one I thought of immediately. Also of many late nights at work playing on the PCs that had enough horse power to play the game decently.

Copy-pasting my response to Chris : Why was it deleted though? It looks like a decent article, lots of effort, screenshots, code samples and detailed explanation. 40,000 views since December. 2000 code-sample downloads and 50 bookmarks. Can't have been bad enough to have got deleted surely? :~

Author need's there own freedom to update their articles
Absolutely. I'm not asking you to tell us step by step what you'll do. I was saying that you said "you'd update it" but that it didn't provide enough information / timeline for us to know whether you would update it today, tomorrow, or next week, and whether the updates would address the security issue. Step back and think about this from the point of view of an information provider. It's far, far better to have an article offline for a day or a few days and then have it back with solid information than it is to just leave it up, knowing hundreds of people were viewing, and using, that code. With regards to that message posted, my apologies! I was testing your account to ensure you had access to your articles and made a post while still testing your account. All fixed.

I accept what you mean Mr. Chris but still i did't get answer to my question. 1) The Article was published one month before since that time it got only upvotes nearly 38 and i can say you that voters are not my friends. 2)The same article was been in CP Home page for more then a week under "Latest Best Picks".Even during that time that article never get any down vote. 3)Only after it was been selected for best article voting it got down vote.So i don't know the reason behind this as you know all the down voted members are visiting CP regularly. 4)Day before early morning there was sudden down vote nearly 7 by members with same msg as need Password Security and needs to use ASP.Net Authentication. I don't think that article is Extremely poor quality and Misleading to others. You can read the article first i will start with question in that article as
How to create a Login page?
How to check valid user from Login and redirect to main page?
How to display Logged in user name in all pages?
How to bind data to Grid?
How to search data and display in Grid?
How to Insert/Select/Update and delete data from grid to database?
How to write N-Tire Application for Asp.Net or for Winform?
How to create a simple ASP.Net Web Application?Here its clear that the article is mainly dealing with what, and what the readers can get benefit from this article. For this article i don't think the Password security and ASP.NET Authentication is needed. If i have added user management in that article then surely i will be explain about Password Hashing and ASP.NET Authentication. As you can see that the goal of that article is not related to security or Authentication. This article is tutorial based and it has clear view of what users can get benefit from that. All the down vote was regarding Security and Authentication.I feel it was additional requirement needed to be added to that article so that the readers can get more detailed benefit. The reason for deleting all my other article is Mainly due to You Mr.Chris . Because you are main responsible person to CP. You should treat and post message very carefully so that others dont get hurt in that. Your message here in this conversations with other members.**
However, the big guns brought out the really BFGs. The article is no more.

Yes there was. Troy Hunt, a very influential blogger and expert in authentication picked up on your article and slammed it. He, and his twitter followers, were very damning of your article. The community immediately took note of your article en masse and the down voting started.

An excellent decision! Remove it and you have an article on CRUD. (I do have to ask, though: why do we need another article on CRUD? We have dozens and dozens and dozens)

My intention, as I have repeated multiple times, was to prevent dangerous code from being disseminated. You are an MVP. Your articles carry a lot of weight and the assumption that what you write is solid code.
syed shanu wrote:
No I cont accept that because its good to find the solution rather then just deleting the issue part
You've completely ignored my point. The point I've made many times. Your article contained dangerous information and you gave no indication of when or how your update would take place. You had access to your article at all times and you could have simply updated and republished it. I was not willing to keep dangerous code lying around indefinitely.

I've got to applaud this. A not so well known author, whose exit from this site would have had next to zero effect on the site's popularity vents his feelings. And you spend 45 minutes replying to him in detail, reassuring him, and ended up with a cordial solution. Sometimes it's the little things :-)

Hello Dear Syed Shanu :) I was really confused and upset from this matter. On the one hand it was just a bit unfair to delete your article but on the other hand you are MVP developer and you should not delete all of your articles. Your problem just was a challenge in your life and if they deleted your article it does not mean your value is low, it just means you have a lot reputation and just for the sake of this you should prepare so more valuable and very near to standard line article, just because you are a most valuable professional you have to decrease your fault or gap in your article, so please go on and correct it instead of deleting all of your articles, your articles are so precious and please think that how many people are using them and refer to your knowledge and by removing it you just deprive good opportunity from developer in order to using your articles. I know that maybe someone`s points are not so kindly when they wanted to consider your deficits and they can behave more kindly but it is not a good reason for you to leave everything that you made them hardly during more years, but as I read comments I found out that Chris motivated you strongly to update your article, I think he just want to see your articles without any shortage and otherwise never ever he or his community did not select you as MVP. I hope see your updated article and the rest of other articles that you have deleted as soon as possible. :)

should the criteria for removing votes take the member voting weight into account
It is. Unfortunately there were too many high votes that still outweighed the low votes. A few more big guns downvoting would have tipped the scales. However, the big guns brought out the really BFGs. The article is no more.
