Further to Pete and Richard's informative posts, it also helps to send beer. Lots and lots of beer.

Sri Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft, might have said that your karma will be better if:
You don't go about asking how you get the MVP, but know and have faith that the system will give you the MVP when you deserve it. But, then, later, depending on publicity, he might have indicated that wasn't what he really meant.

Seriously, do keep in mind that whatever contribution you make to CP is valuable, since it will always improve ... yourself !

OK, this one is really really a minor one.
In user's profile, under "Contributions" section, the URL for user's technical blogs ends with "#articles". So, instead of
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/{MemberID}#articles
, it should be
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/{MemberID}#blogs
Your time will come, if you let it be right.

Hello my dear,
In my Tips:
[^]

Relax - the values are good. Pages are cached, though, so it can take some time for the updated values to appear.

I'd have to say that it's down to a lack of clarity over what constitutes a redeemable question, and people's desire to close anything that doesn't meet an ever-shifting idea of what constitutes a good question. This is why the idea of more "protectors" worries me.

I agree. It's a pity that there is so much dross in Q&A some days, which has the effect of making some of us a bit too trigger happy.

Indeed, 'tis a pity, and more's the pity because many questions that start off like this do not get closed, but get comments asking the OP to clarify, post code, describe error messages, etc., and remain open, sometimes leading to a clear question, and solid answers.
But, looking a little further upstream from the flood to how the dam got broken: it is obvious to me there are certain simple things (and, imho, low-cost in terms of engineering/development required of CP staff to implement) that could be done to dramatically reduce the "dross."
I've already described those ideas in detail here (more than once), and I see no point describing them again.

I understood that when OP updates the question the previous reports are removed - say reports are version specific...
So I did signed that specific question as 'unclear' (and I do it in other cases too as I see appropriate)...
It seems that the question got trapped as OP added comments but not updates and reports killed it even it got some sense. I do not think that it has anything with 'trigger-happy' behavior, but the way a question's lifetime expanded - maybe a few changes can help here:
1. If I reported a question and OP comments or updates it CP may send a notification so I can review my report
2. Option to remove report without editing the question
3. Grant new life to the question even on comment from OP and not only on edit
4. Make much clear to OP the importance of adding details not via comment but by edit...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

I got the notifications, but by the time I looked at the question it had already been deleted.

I beg to differ. I agree the question was unclear, but I do not think the OP was given time to respond to requests for more information, owing to the trigger-happy voting.

I've looked at some of this other articles. I'm sending him a stern message and some terms. Let's see if he accepts them.

Fine by me - if it turns him from the Dark Side and to embrace the Force that's a good thing.

I read his comment in the SPAM forum. Is it legitimate? He claims it was marked as closed because it was "without a reference." I haven't been in the articles section but if that is the only thing he saw as to why it was closed it seems that "without a reference" may not be descriptive enough in cases of plagiarism.

It's the standard CP text that says "this article is not available for viewing..." And doesn't include the words " because you stole it from someone else you thieving little %£&#@%!@v"
Possibly because the Hamsters don't want to be sued...

Thanks for the heads-up. Sean's on it.
I've *just* touched down in Melbourne so apologies for being out of touch for a few days. Back in the drivers chair, give or take a little jetlag.
cheers
