 Is he running a mass download script across the articlebase?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Definitely has to be some sort of script running to rack that up in such a short space of time.

Strange but achievable I think...without magic. I have been a member for over 3 years but have only been active for more than a year. I have 3,600 + organizer points. This member has been here for more than 8 years.
They could just be reading a lot and bookmarking stuff. It could happen.
Just along for the ride.

I beg to differ. Getting over 32,000 organizer points in a matter of days is impossible unless he downloaded every article on the site (2 points each and with no limit on how many you earn points for).
He's scraping CodeProject.

No need to beg. 
Upon further investigation, I have come to the landmark decision that you guys are right. I posted a reply without reviewing the facts. This caused a turn in events that not only illustrates my stupidity but also illuminates my ignorant ways.

So to summarise, you were an @rse?

i'll have a ![Beer | [beer]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif) for you tonight to make up for it.

He spidered the site. That's impolite at best.

So we're going to see yet another Code Project rip-off site soon then.

Is there no way to limit the member downloads, for example 20 files per day?
Cheers, Jani Giannoudis
|
|

|

Why would you want to do that?
The purpose of the site is to provide information for programmers and help them.
It's not to gain reputation points.
It doesn't happen much but I'v downloaded over 20 files a day in search of an answer to a problem.
|
|
|
|
|
Limiting to, say, 250 downloads is reasonable I would think

250 a day?
Yeah don't think I'll ever hit that limit 
By the way aren't you on vacation?

Well done!

I'm curious about what 'Whacked' actually means.
When I'm spammed I'll dissuade them from trying again by using an SMTP mailer that will loop and restate my request as many times as I wish (each w/a different return address and slightly different subject and body). Usually it's something like "If ten requests isn't enough, I can send a lot more" - making sure, first, that the sender is actually the sender and not itself a faked innocent's address. It works well for getting someone too lazy to remove me from their list to decide it's less work to do so.
So how do you whack-a-mole?

In this case, I use my awesome prowess and reputation to click the Report Spammer option. Unfortunately, you have to be above a certain rep level to even see this link.

Write some articles on topics that people hopefully find interesting. That's what I did.
