Wrong Down-voting?
-
The main problem - it is all very subjective :) And, for instance, if any of the social networks were using the same down-voting idea - they would loose their customers very quickly :)

Who cares about social networks? CP is a technical forum, and the lounge/soapbox are simply there to kick back and relax. If you post rubbish just to try to appear deep, you will get downvoted faster than a republican at a democrat conference. You have to earn the right to post crap; crap is earned, not given.

Thank you! You're right, ignorance is bliss, sometimes :)
Must resist the urge not to make the obvious joke.... Done it. Phew, that's better, the urge passed. Don't give us opportunities like this in the future though.

I made a post here a little while ago: http://www.codeproject.com/Lounge.aspx?msg=4291841#xx4291841xx[^] and would think nothing of it, but as I looked at my latest statistics, it showed extremely down-voted. I look at it in the post board itself and see that my post didn't receive any votes at all. That's unusual. Before that I would always see votes in the board match that in the recent statistics. What went wrong there? Plus I was surprised to see a neutral post like this getting so many down-votes anyway... UPDATE: A little later I was able to see votes again in my post, and it showed just 1 vote of 2, but the stat still would say "-16" points for this. This doesn't look right...
I forgot to tell you earlier...don't worry about the points. Your membership and participation in the site should be genuine and not for the "points". It's a hell of a lot more fun this way.

So you're in the "as much crap as you like" category then. ;P

I'm surprised it's taken you this long to notice.

It's not that I hadn't noticed, but I thought it was just some NE problem you had; like Newcastle Brown Ale.

It's having to deal with pseudo-Hungarians; it drives a person insane.
