Rubbish entries ones would result in the 1 vote being disallowed, and after three disallowed 1 votes, would suspend the user from voting altogether for a predetermined period of time. Continued abuse of the system would remove the user's voting abilities altogether - forever. Suspect votes would allow the victim to request a review of the vote. If the voter posts a certain number of "suspect" votes, once again his voting privileges would be suspended, and continued abuse would eventually result in permanent revocation of his voting privileges
I believe that the solution you had provided is wonderful, but why are you considering that all these things should be implemented in a single step, instead of that this functionality can be implemented in step by step, and may be the first step would be make comments compulsory when a person rates the message.

Don't think so.

Hi Chris,
Where is the store located? I wanted to buy a t-shirt. No dice on the coffee mug - I'm an iced tea man.
Black t-shirt, with the green alien inside an orange aurora would look good.

We have an "average article rating" score at the top of the articles page in our profiles. Can we have a similar score at the top of the messages (latest comments) page as well?

I'm new to codeproject and one thing that I find difficult is figuring out what part of a forum post belongs to the message and what part belongs to the author's signature. While reading messages, I sometimes get confused with the last line of an author's response, since it seemingly has nothing to do with the question -- of course it's because it's her signature!
Something as simple as ------------ before the sig would suffice.
Thanks,
Phil

If you want ASCII instead of html, a proper sig dash is "-- ".

Well, either way it should be inserted automatically if a signature is present

Try hitting Ctrl+F5. It's subtle, but I don't want to interfere with dividers that members already use.

Subtle, yes. I like it.
---- Yes, but can you blame them for doing so if that's the only legal way they can hire programmers they want at the rate they can afford?-- Nish on sketchy hiring practices

You can distinguish my signature easily

Chris - the Univoter is at it again in the lounge.
Quick question - when a univoter is identified and removed, are their votes removed as well?

A drive by (or serial) 1 voter. Somebody who just votes 1 for fun.

There really are such ... around?
And Chris is able to identify them?
Again a good reason for me, for a non anonym rating system, like I suggested once!

Some crazy guy who puts '1' for all the forums. We are observing this in full vigor since (India) afternoon. It is now Friday midnight 0034 hours and still active perhaps.

True. This applies to normal work atmosphere also. Only when we bother about the people who keep envying at us, they would feel encouraged and show ridicule. The moment we start ignoring them, the Sun starts setting for them eternally.

Hi Peter,
He is very opinionated. If I recall, he as an incredible amount of posts in 7 months... It makes me wonder who is running the company (if it is the fellow who I believe it is). It took me from 2003 until now to reach 500 posts.
He beleives he is correct in the flaming vote because others use terms such as TCP/IP and RSA which he does not understand. He desires a great amount of hand holding. If he does not get it, this is the outcome.
In another area, I told him I was not interested in his type of reader. It is a shame, since I'm all about transferring knowledge. But I'm not willing to put up with his demands and temper tantrums.

besides the fact that he's a pathetic mentally unstable looser with no life, do you have any grounds to suspect him as being the univoter?

Yes - I notice when I was engaging him on a different thread, each post was voted a '1'. Reference Articles on Applied Cryptography[^]. You'll notice most of my posts are rated three. I presume this was Dave Kreskowiak balancing out his univotes.
I understand this is a correlation; and correlation is not cause and effect. So, unless he admits to the actions, it is only a suspicion.
