Something fishy going on? Manfred Rudolf Bihy8-Sep-12 12:33 Manfred Rudolf Bihy 8-Sep-12 12:33  This members reputation points look suspicious to me: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=8551910. All those organizer points in just 7 months? Can anyone check up on this? Cheers! "With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine."

Anyone else see this, or is Firefox acting up again? Or have the link hamsters gone on strike? EDIT: now it leads me back to this message! What the hell is going on?!!?! Correct Link.[^] It was a bad link. I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.

Why is common sense not common? Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level where they are an expert.

I have seen several answers like that from members who signed up the same day, posted a leadtools favored answer and never did anything else.

Thank you, —SA Sergey A Kryukov Approvals system is being abused Ed Nutting4-Sep-12 2:42 Ed Nutting 4-Sep-12 2:42  Over the past few days a number of articles have been posted (current Bugs/Suggestions posts one of them: Why you should rewrite your code for the new C++ 11 && operator[^]) that have been really poor quality or just not up to scratch. I have just reported the following tip/trick as incomplete as it is missing the required downloads and is just not a good tip/trick really: Simple Flash Uploader[^] How on earth did that slip through the net? There is even a report option in the approvals process for missing downloads/images! It seems that there is suddenly a number of unknown (to me) members that are abusing the approvals process and allowing poor quality articles to be published. I think this should be investigated to find out who or what is causing this reasonably sudden and recent degradation in the approvals system. Thanks, Ed Spammer...
