Not sure if this is a bug, but I think so...
I got an email today saying Simon_Whale commented on my tip/trick: One guideline every VB.NET project should follow![^].
However, when I went to see it I noticed two things. First the new comment layout messed up older comments. The comment I seemingly made to my own tip/trick is actually a reply to the comment below it. This looks like a bug.
Second, Simon_Whale's comment wasn't there. Either he deleted it quite fast after posting it (and there was no obvious reason why he should), or it isn't visible for some reason. I can still see the upvote I got in my rep points, so my guess is I can't see it. Is this a bug or am I looking wrong?

when you click on the voting at the bottom of the tip, if loads a popup windows and I entered the message there. (sorry was feeling too lazy to enter a message that permanently showed up in the trick)

Aren't those supposed to permanently stay there too?
That reminds me... 9 out of 10 times when I use that popup window I get an exception and I've lost my message.
I think it may have to do with the length of the text, because it usually happens when I have actually got something to say

I would like to suggest the use of a more uniform template for the QA forum.
Instead of giving a person free rain on writing what ever they want, they instead would have to fill out a question form. Where key fields are mandatory for question submission.
I think this might alleviate some of the demanding one liners and the like. I have given some thought to this question and I think if you structure the question process more, then everyone benefits in the long run.
Just a thought.
[edit] i.e
1. subject/question title.
2. brief description of problem or question.
3. research and/or attempts made.
4. code snippets if any.

18 down votes in 3 minutes across many posts.
Hmmm a small penis for sure, but what response do I have?
Perhaps the -2 voter could be asked for his reasons?
I am with Mr Merrens on this one, one can be downvoted but have no recourse, anonymity is a cowardly way of addressing this.
Perhaps the administrators do not wish their own rules to be obeyed.

It is becoming tiresome. Whilst I understand that the internet is wild and free and anonymous I'd love for one of these tossers to come and tell me to my face why they downvote. Of course, that can't happen unless they happen to be in LA... 
Seriously, what is wrong with these morons?
To me thsi is simple: no voting until you've been here 6 months and made n posts and are above water, points wise. All voting requires that the name of the voter be exposed. Problem solved: it'll soon stop spurious voting.

Can we please stop with the whole down voting thing already.
I understand the frustration but really are those points that important?
I personally never had the problem but that's probably because I'm not that outspoken on the site.
I understand that you might be somewhat annoyed by it but at the end of the day will it cause you to be able to drink 1 pint less, no so who cares.
Let those little people who do the downvoting without explaining do what they want they can't really harm you anyway, one or 2 votes from me or a higher member and you'v won in total.
Let's face it there will never be a perfect solution for it everything we can come up with can be abused or worse so...
Just my 2 cents
(by the way I didn't vote, neither up or down, I don't vote on forum messages only on articles where I believe is the only place that voting really matters)

I tried to counter your 2 downvotes, but it looks like at least one of them was from a high-roller; which is, I think, part of the point Mark was trying to make.

Was -16 so actually not that high roller and I really don't care about the points.
But thanks anyway for the effort

Generally speaking nor do I; but I do tend to get sucked in to these discussions despite knowing how unimportant points really are.

Well, take comfort in the fact that it can only happen seven more times today before it stops affecting your rep points, and the fact that it's low-rep voter is certainly better than having a high-rep voter following you around doing the same thing. I've lost over 300 points a day because of that. And the 1-votes were coming in quick succession (four or five per minute). Does Chris care when the higher rep users complain about the abuse? Doesn't look like it to me.
You'd think that high-rep users would have a bit of extra clout when complaining about voting abuse, but those complaints just falls on deaf ears. So, WHY should we bother to contribute to the site if it doesn't get us anything in return. I'd like to think I'm fairly magnanimous, but the apparent lack of respect for contributing users is - well - bullshit.

I'm not bothered by the points themselves, just want to get a feeling for why someone feels the need to try and get at other people, especially those with a decent amount of rep points (and why can't we use them like real money???) yet refuse to declare themselves. I've mentioned a solution and whilst I appreciate that CM has plenty to do, I don't see any feedback (even if that feedback is to say that there is no feedback is better than no feedback). Pity.

When I have to ask a question I can be fairly sure tht the answer will be helpful.
There are some users of whom you do not question thier bona fides, (Yourself, SAK, POH, Luc, Nish, Abhinav etc (apols to the many others not named)).
I do not need to question or check your points.
However, if we are to have a points system then it must not be abused, else it becomes redundant.
If Chris et al want to operate this points system then they must make it accountable, for without openness and accountability it becomes a weapon of attack.
It is like a soviet election.
I always upvote answers given, even if they are not directly helpful, as this offers a reward to people for making an effort.

Yesterday, I answered the question "How to detect removable storage device on victim computer?[^]". I think that the op did not intend to do something bad, just happened to use a false word ("victim"), and he should get a useful answer.
My answer has been deleted meanwhile, I can still see it there, marked as "Deleted". I think that deletion is not appropriate.
