Basically not a bad idea at all.
But Points alone do not really reflect the voter's Reputation.
Anyway I'm also very unhappy with a lot of downvotes, especially in "tips". This is not related to me, it is related to authors who try to give an Input...and will be decried.
Sorry for my bad english.

Hi All,
My colleagues are trying to vote my article. But when ever they do, they said they are getting an error message as "someone else already vote from this IP".I am not sure what kinda IP configuration my office network admin uses. It may be a standard IP. So its not possible to vote from the same organization huh? Please reply me.

For what? Its by design. This was implemented to curb reputation hunting.

Thanks a lot .But we are using different system for different workers. And i have around 20 friends in my office who have code project account. But still they are unable to vote for my article. I am not hunting for reputation. they just found my article and asked about this when they try to vote it.

The limit doesn't last for too long, so if your colleagues wish to vote, they should be able to do so over a period of time. This mechanism was put in place to deter people fro, creating dummy accounts and voting for their own article several times over.

That is a very good alternative.

I understood what you meant.
I just made a joke.
Saying the same in serious mode:
You already know they like your article, so you should be proud of your work. Votes here are not going to give you a rise salary or things like that. If 10 people from other places vote your article here, then you know that there are at least 30 people liking it.
What you really know is what is worth.
My own article has very few votes, downloads or bookmarks if you compare with other contributions here. But I don't really care. As far as it just help one person, then it is already worth the efford.

Send them a reminder text, as well as a follow-up email. Also phone them up at night once a week. Maybe even send them a courtesy postcard. Repeat until they vote.

Don't suggest him anything like you have mentioned here. He is taking each and every word seriously  . Look at the length of thread.

Have them vote from their home connection, or off their cell phones. That should work around the IP limitation.

Yeah i have already said them to vote from home,if they wish.

You probably have the same setup as we have here - proxy. All your network have one IP for the outside word, so all your computer will get the same public address...Try browse this site from computers of your colleagues: http://whatismyipaddress.com/[^]
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)
