Grades from Idiots

Arman S

Just recently someone graded 1s for my articles. It's a pity that such things happen here in the code project. Anyway, the grader seems to be amongst the last idiots in the IT.

Sorry for you... happnd to me few times... esp after some ppl gave high ratings... anyways in the long run your articles will get good ratings if they are really good...also few ppl here rate on the basis of your name and location... they are idiot enough not even to read the article's title :doh:

Well i never complain about the one voters.. what i do complain about are the people who would use your code and still won't rate anything.

Ok, if it deserves 1 then let the grade be one. But I was disappointed about the fact that all my articles were graded [at the same time] 1. what i do complain about are the people who would use your code and still won't rate anything. This happens much more frequently than 1s :) This is another story to speak about though. Personally I grade not so frequently, though when doing it, my grades are to the artices and their content not something else.

Just 1 1? You should consider yourself lucky. Marc

Yeah, he should look at some of my articles.

I think of 1s on my articles as, "I don't need that right now, but I'll remember it when I do". A 5 means, "What perfect timing! Just what I needed right now!" A 3 means, "Where were you last week when I needed that?"

Maybe some of those people are like me... new to c#, needing some code to play with, don't know enough to determine if the code we are pulling deserves a 1 or a 5. I won't feel confident grading for at least another six months. And even then only on articles that cover ground I have worked with directly. In the meantime I may use some code posted on this board in adherence with the attached licenses. When I do start voting my scale will go something like this: 5 = Clear presentation of a technique I have worked with including optimization or restructuring that had not occured to me and/or applications of the technique that had not occurred to me. 3 = Decent presentation of a technique I have worked with... would have been helpful for me to read while I was learning that technique, but I did just as well without the article. 1 = Something I could implement or explain much better even though I am a c# noob. No Score = I am thouroughly unqualified to evaluate. I don't even feel qualified to comment on c# code yet. ANyone feel this is a bad approach? Regards, And thanks for the code.
