Amazing! Thanks for the link mate.

Has anyone noticed there are a "group" of members active here on CP.
They seem to be trolling or at the very least ask low quality questions and/or advertising.
Examples:
member 1[^]
member 2[^]
notice the profile picture which are all similar.
but I'm sure there are others.
So basically, if you see a profile picture similar to these, just ignore.

Don't judge by the profile picture.
I don't know exactly what or how but it's a default for the 'gravatar' profile settings or something like that.
At least as far as I can figure out.
Also there is a dedicated forum to post this:
Spam and Abuse Watch Discussion Boards - CodeProject[^]

Apparently it is some standard profile pic, so indeed that is solved.
I just happened to come across a few like those, all with a similar language usage and with low reputations, hence I thought they belonged to the same group.

I made the same mistake back when CP implemented the gravatar thingy so understandable

I wonder when CP started doing that? My 11yo profile doesn't have one, so it seems they didn't backfill them.
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?

That's odd, because it got backfilled to mine.

The profile pic is a default thing that Codeproject do - Check my profile.
I seriously doubt a number of trolls have grouped together - for starters they need to have friends to do that.

Hey, lots of trolls have friends!

If we kicked off everyone who asked low-quality questions, we'd be back to storing the member count in a byte !

People on the C# forum are good and helpful, within minutes.
What's the point to gossip and accuse

I haven't watched these morons keenly, so not sure about the trolls. But what is really pissing me off is the "Up" votes that's put in most of the (original) posts. I was in an assumption that someone's really reading up my posts and voting it up diligently , but it turns out to be a zombie vote.
Every damn post is voted up here. Wish something could be done about this.

I can't really follow you - I neither see every post being upvoted nor do I see a way to distinguish between the motivation behind a vote!?

I think that guy is on a different time zone. If you see, all my orginial post(meaning the first post I make) or voted up pointlessly, when I found this thing, I looked around and found every posts are voted up. And mind you, there was JUST 1 vote for all these posts. Just lynch voting. Damn

They are not trolls, they are not abusive, insulting or added inflammatory unrelated comments.
Maybe they could have changed their user name, but they are not trolls.
I'd rather be phishing!
