    Can it be a change of vote ? CodeProject keep track of who voted and don't give points again when voting again or changing the vote.

    not sure, seems like a new vote and comment, and the title suggests (to me at least) it's a new one

      There are limits [^] on the number of votes that count towards reputation per day.

        As near as I can see, the voter just created a message with the title "My Vote of 5" without actually voting.

        :confused: Righty-Oh ... I thought they are autogenerated when you vote ... never crossed my mind to leave a comment and manually type "my vote of x" as the header ... So, votes have the general one, and suggestions have the lightbulb ... oh i see .. Well, cheers for that, mystery solved :)

            Yes, they do, as said Chris. But One can also forge a message with the same title and icon

              Seems to me like a lot of work to "forge" one :) Unless you start looking at people who try to fake votes for their articles to get rep? Anyhow, looking at the author page, I doubt it's the case :)He's been around for eight? years ...

                But all he's done is post 4 messages in that time, and not logged in very often, as his rep points show.

                  yep, but i was meaning it's probably a real user, and not a fake account that someone created to upvote his own articles.

                    Forging a fake My vote message looks fairly simple to me. 1) choose the General icon. 2) type the title My vote of 5 3) and type a congratulation message.

                      I wouldn't bother with doing it, since I don't see the point in that. But fair enough :)
