            I have a couple of articles sitting on my HD, waiting for the "Worst Author in CodeProject" award, but what is the point if there is not even a page to show that proves it ;) eperales

                    I totally agree with Ernesto. He does not have to have any articles in order to criticize any article on this site. Some articles does not belong to this site. Especially some articles are just meant to annoy people and break such a great web site. Some sort of filtering should start being done. I know that the site admins have enough to do. May be, some people can do it voluntarily. For example, about 100 people can be choosen to be moderators for Unedited Reader Contributions part. If more than lets say 2 of them approves, then the article will be posted on the site. If you guys would like to do something like that, I would be very glad to participate...

                            I totally agree. Also, the moderators should be choosen among the well known CPians to prevent the abuse of that job. But if for example, 10% of the moderators accept the article, then I guess it would be enough. I wanted such a system just to prevent posting of very poor articles or some articles that are posted just to annoy us... Mustafa Demirhan http://www.macroangel.com Sonork ID 100.9935:zoltrix

                                  The reason for my earlier reply: Few months back I posted a similar post[^] at Lounge and I got flamed. I quote this from Paul Watson: "Kant, I tried to read some of your articles... but there were none. Is the CP article counter broken? Surely if you can poke fun at another article you must have written your own. Email me the link when you can." Nitron well said about poor article content. By not giving them free advertising in the lounge? - Nitron[^] My lessons learned: 1. If you have anything wrong with any article, post constructive criticism at that article's message board and don't bring it to the lounge. 2. Before you poke fun at another author's article, atleast post your article first.

                                          Judgement is actually quite difficult. At what level is it decided that an article is not deemed worthy of surviving ? A guide need's to be published somewhere as to what creates a passable article. Regardz Colin J Davies
