I 'fixed' it. It had markdown formatting enabled, so I changed from <pre ...> to ```c# ... ```

Do we really need to be referred to articles that contain phrases such as "badass motherfucking sorcerer-hacker wizard-god" or "interviews in the Valley have truly gotten f***ing awful"?
I was in the US Coast Guard. We didn't hesitate to use coarse language amongst ourselves. But its use was with other Coast Guardsmen, not the general public.
I doubt strongly that articles containing this language would be published in any reputable publication: in a peer reviewed publication or in a newspaper or in a book. I also doubt that these phrases could be used in a business meeting without reprimand.
I'm in no way a prude. But this use of language was for shock purposes only. It added nothing to the value of the article. As a matter of fact, I stopped reading when I came across the phrases.
I find the Code Project Insider useful in that it presents me with articles that are useful. Mostly, I read for entertainment. Sometimes for their newsworthiness. But if this trend continues, I fear that I will cancel my subscription to the Code Project Insider and read more carefully the BBC articles on Tech and Science.

We've had a couple of comments about sites that use profanity and we have been trying to choose those sites that are a little less blue. We'll notch up the filter one more step.

I'm with you. When I come across a site that uses over-the-top profanity as an attempt at humor, I close the tab.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Agreed.

Can somebody please roll back my abuse report on this[^] profile? My report was based on this[^], but now that the tip itself got approved, I think the report needs to be removed too.
Apologies for the inconvenience.
You have just been Sharapova'd.

Can it be a change of vote ?
CodeProject keep track of who voted and don't give points again when voting again or changing the vote.

not sure, seems like a new vote and comment, and the title suggests (to me at least) it's a new one

There are limits [^] on the number of votes that count towards reputation per day.

From the screen shoot he provided, he did not reach the day limit.

like the other person suggested, didn't reach the limit that day (or any other day for that purpose

As near as I can see, the voter just created a message with the title "My Vote of 5" without actually voting.

Nice catch, I didn't pay attention to the wrong icon.

Righty-Oh ... I thought they are autogenerated when you vote ...
never crossed my mind to leave a comment and manually type "my vote of x" as the header ...
So, votes have the general one, and suggestions have the lightbulb ... oh i see ..
Well, cheers for that, mystery solved

But One can also forge a message with the same title and icon

Seems to me like a lot of work to "forge" one
Unless you start looking at people who try to fake votes for their articles to get rep?
Anyhow, looking at the author page, I doubt it's the case He's been around for eight? years ...

But all he's done is post 4 messages in that time, and not logged in very often, as his rep points show.

|

|

yep, but i was meaning it's probably a real user, and not a fake account that someone created to upvote his own articles.

Forging a fake My vote message looks fairly simple to me.
1) choose the General icon.
2) type the title My vote of 5
3) and type a congratulation message.

I wouldn't bother with doing it, since I don't see the point in that.
But fair enough

And the fun of make the author wonder and come here to ask if there is a bug?

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.
