Hi @Chris,
I may be completely wrong here but want to know if any automated program can create such accounts or we have sufficient guards to prevent such attacks?
What made me think so:
--Profiles names seems to be picked from a set of software names along with version
--Member ids are continuous in most of the cases
--No activity has been noticed from these users, mostly
Regards, Suvendu

I been thinking what went wrong behind the scene, been debating myself, maybe missing antiforgerytoken or captcha or something that allow the adversary to replay the action. Send them some hamsters!!!

We do have mechanisms in place, but it's a game of cat and mouse

Just wanted to suggest the same.
You beat me to it, but I do second this idea.
I only have a signature in order to let @DalekDave follow my posts.

. . . only in it for the rep points ? . . .

Just spotted this by following the In Progress thread.
Were you implying that the only reason I report spammers is to collect that 1 rep point per message?
Because that really is funny
P.S. As a site "Protector" I sort of try to, you know, protect the site.

I don't know I am the only one who is facing an issue, Sometimes I am logging out automatically if I didn't log out

Happens sometimes when e.g. one clears the browser history, at least that's my experience.

Obvious it will log out if I will clear history of a browser, But in my case, I am experiencing frequent log out without clearing a history

I had it this morning: I reloaded five pages from CP with F5 and one of them - the lounge - needed me to sign back in again. The other four didn't. At the time, I assumed it was a glitch on my side.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Hi, I noticed that the html code to download files (or see images) seems to missing for some CodeProject articles. Is something broken or am I missing something?
Here is one of the articles:
Round Buttons[^]
Albeit it is old but I was digging around for some techniques on how to build a round button in MFC.
Any thoughts?

An alternative is to click the 'Browse Code' link on the left and click the archive you want to download on that page.
And yes, this seems to be a bug.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Is there a way to hide or make private an article or tip/trick? Or otherwise disable voting on an article?
Someone (I believe I know who) is daily downvoting all of my articles, tips/tricks. I would like to disable or hide the articles for a time so that this downvoting will stop.
I know I can delete the articles and repost them, but there are several people who have bookmarked the articles and I don't want that these people to lose those bookmarks.
Thanks.

The only way would be to delete the article/tip. However, the range of votes is considered into the final rating, so outliers like a single vote of 1 will be discounted.

Thanks for the reply. *sigh* I guess I'll continue to counter the downvotes and hope the idiot eventually tires of his vendetta.

If Oz is correct about you-know-who then why is you-know-who still around?
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Because not enough of us know who you-know-who is so can't report them as Abusive/Troll?

Sean knows exactly what I am referring to.
