    I guess Best Web Dev article of September 2015: http://www.codeproject.com/Surveys/1816/Best-Web-Dev-Article-of-September.aspx[^] has fake votes for the article on the top right now i.e. Getting Started with ReactJS Using MVC And WCF REST[^] by user : http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=2757697[^], the votes are increasing with the speed of light. Same was the case with this user two months back when his article was nominated. The actual votes on the article itself is 15 only :-) I doubt he is promoting fake votes. @Sean-Ewington please check.

    Thanks Do not forget to comment and rate the article if it helped you by any means.

      This member has been discussed 3-4 times. IIRC his account was blocked due to such malpractice.

      Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning

              BTW, the member maintains a good reputation points on CP. It's very cheap of him doing this.

                Don't worry, I won't let cheaters win. But once you create a competition and votes start rolling out on it, it simply "exists" and you cannot alter it exactly. It must live out its days. It isn't showing me the history, either. I can't check the votes until its done.

                Thanks, Sean Ewington CodeProject

                  I must be missing something. On http://www.codeproject.com/Surveys/1816/Best-Web-Dev-Article-of-September.aspx[^] it only shows 32 votes. 32 is hardly a lot, even though it is the most right now. What am I missing? Where's the problem? :confused:

                  There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

                    How can you tell it as fake vote @AkhilMittal. See iam closely watching my Voting from competition started and till Sunday it was fine and Monday suddenly your article voting count was increased is that mean you got fake vote. I was surprised yesterday you got 21 vote and my article was at 19 and after some time when i check i got 30 vote i was blessed to get the votes. After i got 30 votes i got continues 5 down vote for my article i don't know who did that. See its competition don't need to worry for votes We can be a winner or loser we are not writing article for votes. Even my article is selected for Best C# and for Mobile also. In C# best article another author got 35 votes is that mean he do fake vote.http://www.codeproject.com/Surveys/1818/Best-Csharp-Article-of-September.aspx[^] We no need to worry for votes if our article is good then we will win and the good article will suerly get more votes. @Sean-Ewington can check it and i know about code project rules very well so i don't do the mistake for fake votes. @Sean-Ewington i have one more request as yesterday after my competition vote was increased I got some sudden 4 down votes for the article [^] here is the image link http://s30.postimg.org/k6ix61kdd/image.png[^] If possible check the members of down voters. @RohanLeuva - Dont write something as you know everything of other member.

                    "this member has been discussed 3-4 times. IIRC his account was blocked due to such malpractice."

                    My account never blocked in Codeproject kindly check with Admins.There is no history of malpractice.before writing about others kindly try to write true news if don't know about others,

                        Why do you want to that? As a longstanding member of CP , you should know that its not policy of Admins to check who downvotes or upvotes the article unless there is an abuse. If the member has low rep then it system would adjust the score.

                        cheers,
