Serial downvoters still exist on CodeProject?
-
Well, I can't speak for any of the others, but... Seriously, I see no reason to vote an article a 1 when I can report it as "Extremely poor quality" or something instead. Not meaning yours, of course. Not sure I saw it. In so many cases, I feel I'm not qualified to judge an article, so I don't.
This. This is helpful, where a one star is not, especially if you point out weak areas that could use improvement.

I had the same thing happen to me just now, and it isn't the first time.

and it won't be the last one. And not only with articles. Everyone here gets it from time to time even in the forums.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

It's a shame when you put so much time and effort on an article and someone who even didn't read it come and vote 1/5 without leaving any reason or any comment.

I've just updated one of my new articles this morning and got a 1/5 without leaving any comment or interesting suggestion. The vote was not removed because the article is relatively new and has not got enough upvotes. I also got another 1/5 on another article but this one was removed because the article has enough upvotes. Do serial downvoters still exist on CodeProject?

Definitively yes.

No problem, vote deletion can happen later too. If enough upvotes come, then it will disappear. The "age" of the vote has nothing to say in that balance

Yeah, it's disappointing, but some people just want to be jerks.

What you learned is not correct and has been discussed many times: No votes (at least dwon votes) without comments. On the other hand, speaking of a series after two downvotes is also quite questionable ;)

Nah, you're arab and people don't like you ;) Seriously this - "but some people just want to be jerks" I've seen this on other articles where unknown yahoos vote 1, claim derivative work, you could have just used , disparage, and otherwise piss on your parade. Traditionally, this would get them into a fist fight where they might reconsider their ways, but it's the internet. Just to spite the prick, I'm going to go look at your articles - keep paddling.

Some want you to cater to the lowest denominator. If they don't understand your article, they assume it's your problem.

I'm looking into this. So far, it doesn't seem to a case of serial downvoting, but if you start to see more votes of 1, please let me know. Nevertheless, I will investigate further.
Thanks, Sean Ewington CodeProject
I was about to mention you, since you've been so helpful to me in the past. I was looking, and one of my articles was downvoted as well - I'm fine with it, and it doesn't look like they've done it to everything like they typically do so I didn't say anything. I wasn't paying attention to other folks articles in that respect though.

To be fair, if people don't understand my articles, I do consider it my problem, but I'd prefer an explanation of the downvote.

Yep, they're out there. I just gave you a +5, purely for the effort you put into the project and the article, and to counter the +1.

I just had the same thing happen too. 1/5 I get it quite often. Even think someone follows me that just votes mine 1/5. But I don't care about votes at all. I write most of my articles for myself and for the people who like the topics I cover, so I don't care.

Sorry to hear about that, I also experienced this with some of my articles and I think something should be done about this. Maybe its a small consolation to you that I upvoted your article with 5 points.

Thanks. Didn't know that.
Hi! Just a quick note to let you know that when you report an article as spam (as you just did with two of them) you also need to report the user as well, both on their home page, and on the Spam and Abuse Watch Discussion Boards[^]. If you don't, then when the article closes we have no way to dispose of the spammer and that just makes his job easier next time. You also get a little extra rep as a "thank you" when you do that. When you report in S&A, please make sure the title of the article and the username appear in the subject line - that way we don't get multiple reports of the same spam!
