It's not only about you clicking multiple times. Even if you post a solution only one, you get four times 10 points.
I observe that since about a week (or less).

I was just able to vote my own Article (Basic Login functionalities for ASP.Net 4.0)[^] and even got Rep points for it and the vote count was updated. I don't know if this is a known bug but IMO the author of an article shouldn't be able to vote for his own article....
Should be a job for a spare hamster if there is one.

It is known and it has been allowed since I can recall. But only once. If you vote more, maybe the event log reflects the entry, but your rep should not be affected.

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 helpfull answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Thanks for your response. I thought that this might is a L. Nielsen bug but I haven't recognized that I was able to vote any of my articles before...

We decided to bypass the whole "let's make a sock puppet so I can vote for my own article" thing and just let people ego-vote. Over time things average out anyway

did you get any e-mail from CP that you have been awarded with MVP status, If yes it will be displayed near your name.
having more rep points doesnt mean that you ca get MVP. please read more here
Accoring to CP Quote: Those who have spent their time answering questions in the forums and writing great articles. MVP status is awarded annually based on ones contributions, and the feedback of the other members. Members of this group get an MVP icon next to their names in the forums and in their profile.

Thanks jibesh for the quick reply.
I did't recived any mail or any thing and no icon is appearing besides the name.
is there any way to detect which are the missing points.
If yes then please let me know.
Thanks

that means you are not awarded MVP yet. so no MVP status. please keep in mind that having more rep points doesn't earn you MVP status.
MVP is awarded early, when CP thinks your contribution to this site for the year is satisfactory they will award you an MVP for that year. Also your cumulative rep points doesnt earn MVP status either.
so keep contribute this year you may have a chance to receive an e-mail on Jan 2014.
Good Luck.

I think jibesh explained it very well, I just wanted to add a link to the list of current CodeProject MVPs[^]. As you can see, this was awarded to 40 out of more than 9,000,000 members.

The MVP status is awarded for outstanding contributions to CP. In other words, it's awarded to the people who help others the most. In the past, people cheated to get awards by doing things like creating other accounts to vote for themselves. This doesn't work because CP has sophisticated systems in place to work this out when the MVP is awarded.

Hi Pete,
Yes,That is correct
I think those who are creating fack account and giving points to become MVC or any.
they are making fool to themselves.without knowledge they are big absolute zero.
I am contributing as per my experiance and knowledge,Will try to explore the knowlege and contribute excellent helping pages with CP.
Thanks

Threatening to send Mr. Mankini around to have a chat in person with anyone whose profile looks like it was cheated up in manual review isn't what I'd consider sophisticated. Effective perhaps, but seriously declasse. 
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?

You have earned just over 2000 points in the last year. Who told you that this is enough to be awarded MVP?

I wish it was that easy!
Take a look at my profile, do you see any MVP award?
No, I didn't think so........back to the drawing board my friend!

Free Tools[^] page still has old voting template. Is the developer team just left to be as it is or forgot to update it?
