Don't feel guilty posting suggestions. I save them all and the good ones will be implemented.
The editors already have a list of good articles essentially using the model you describe. The issue is that there are so many new articles that they are having trouble even keeping up with the direct submissions, let alone the unedited articles.
Having notifications of poor articles is a little tricky. What happens if an article's score fluctuates over the critical point? Obviously you limit the number of emails but then how often do you email an author? How often are articles left in the scrap heap until they are removed? All solvable, but they all need careful thinking about.
cheers,

Unfortunately, you can cheat on rating by creating enough accounts or (script kiddie to the rescue) by spoofing.

I would be interested in knowing (1)At what level the people at CP have finished school. ex. High School, College, Masters etc. (2)Then, how important that person thinks it is to finish each level in terms of becoming/being a great computer programmer.
Note: Question 2 would be with the mindset of whether it would actually help in the process of being a great programmer, not landing a great programming job. Question 2 would also be with the mindset of an all around programmer, not a specific one such as C++, VB, C# etc.

It could be that the article submission wizard either needs to be limited to users with a proven article track record, or they get queued to be reviewed by an editor and then added.

I think the submission wizard will lose its meaning then.

i notice that a post with a single '5' rating will be colored red, but a post with one or even two '1' ratings won't always be colored gray.
what's the magic formula?

From the FAQ:
If a message has been given a score that is below your noise threshold then it will appear dimmed out on the boards. A message must have at least 5 votes and be below your threshold to be grayed out.
Messages that have been voted greater than 4.5 will be marked as red regardless of the the number of votes it has.

If I click on "Send to a friend" on the left side of an article, a form is shown to enter the user's name and email address and the recipient's email address. However, if I'm logged in, I would like to see the user's name and address field initialized with my data.

I assume this is the correct forum for this :
http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/.net_ftp_upload.asp?target=ftp%7Cupload
The link to the project files on this article is dead

No, the correct forum would be the forum on the article page itself, which can be found when you scroll down to the very bottom of the page. Please report this issue to the article author himself and not here. This forum is for suggestions/complaints for the site admins, who look after the entire site. The links on the articles are a concern of the article authors, and hence should be reported to them.

There should be a separate discussion forum for Bitmaps and graphics.
I'll be grateful we could have one as early as possible
Thanks

Gaurav,
Please don't post the same thing twice. The admins of the site are working very hard to keep the whole thing running and it is not polite to run them over with requests, and more requests, of the same nature. Every post made in this suggestion forum is emailed to the webmaster, so he knows what is going on. No need to post multiple times to make it more visible.
Regards,
Rohit Sinha
