Mix between site bug and users abuse.

That's not my main problem, it is that they have a relatively high rating, but are horrible articles. They flourish with mistakes and bad practice advice. If that's how futile the voting system is, then we might as well skip the votes all together, in my mind.
There is a new procedure in place (for testing, I think) to try and re-jig this. If you can point me at the bad practice articles, I'd be pleased to give it a try.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

This one was pretty bad: Basic C# OOP Concept[^] I did notice that the rating went down from 4.01 to 3.91 when I voted.

I knocked it down another 0.1 as well... I've tried the new reporting system, and I'll see what happens. Still, at least the author has 70 friends. Or 70 sock puppets...

Or he has 70 students, god forbid :~ He has some other bad articles as well, but I think this was the worst.

Not the one I meant - talk to Sean about the email he sent me yesterday - but a damn good idea! :thumbsup:

I agree with the new voting system... yet to me the latest best picks should be only to new articles. Republished articles can only be considered new if they were deleted and republished when they were actually new yet.

If the try was the "innacurate/misleading" report, we have make it work. Article is gone.

Yes, but I count on the voting system to filter out the articles that are really good and I can learn a lot from. Having false votes is a nightmare, especially if someone is unknown author, or new to the CodeProject site and know which ones to trust. I don't know about you but I cant read thousands of articles to find the good stuff, I need some help in selecting which ones to read.

I know and I agree with you. My answer was to OG, a bit offtopic to your point, sorry :)

That's all right, I'm just a bit frustrated about it so I get a bit wired up :laugh:
