Hello,
In my article SCRUM explained[^] it looks like to two voters are trashing my article for no apparently reason, since their motives for down-voting my article are so lousy.
Could you please have a look and give me your opinion?
Thank you,
Regards,
Eduardo

Take a look at the dropdown histogram of your votes. Their outlier votes have been removed automatically. Our system considers them too far off what constitutes the community average and so discounts them.
If you disagree with a vote because you think it's being abusive then you can mark the "my vote of 1" message as abuse.
However: Voicing your opinion is not abuse. It's voicing your opinion. If that opinion is abusive then it's abuse. Please think carefully before voting.
cheers

Hello Chris,
I didn't realize this automatic mechanism. It is really quite useful. What drives me mad is when people make comments which do show the reality at all of an article. I am OK with criticism, but it should be fair.
Anyway, thank you for the wise words  .
Cheers,
Eduardo

It's frustrating for sure, and we do what we can but we're always open to discussing new ideas if any come to mind.

Now to the other side of the coin. I hate to do this, but you have called our attention to your article by posting this and I noticed the first image in your article has a copyright notice on it.
A little bit of searching reveals that you are allowed to use that particular image as long as you reference "Mountain Goat Software" - I don't see any references, so please add that to your article. If you in fact have included the references and I somehow missed them, I apologize for bringing it up.

Hello Soren,
You are absolutely correct. I've just updated the article with references to all pictures.
Thank you for calling my attention on that.

 That was quick. I see it in the moderation queue.

Hey guys,
If you take a look in the article's forum, there is a lot of "trash talk" (not swearing words but lots of irony and unnecessary comments). I am not proud of it but I could not restrain myself. Should I leave it there?

Only you can answer that.
You can
a) leave it
b) edit it be crossing out the offending bits
c) delete them
The comments are a public record of you. Is it OK that the public record contains those comments?
cheers

Hello Chris,
Excellent points.
And you know what? It is cool to leave them, I mean, there are not politically correct but neither life is .

It's not the only one of his that's plagiarized.

Good catch! 
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

This user: http://www.codeproject.com/Members/Mehtech[^] seems to want our help to write malware.
His single QA question[^] and three messages[^] are all about writing code that can't be stopped by a system administrator, or that runs without the user's knowledge.
He's been asked several times to explain what he's trying to create, and has not responded.
Methinks it's time for a clobbering with the cluebat.
