But you can't resolve that by just closing or deleting such questions.
Maybe the most "simple" (disregarding the work inflicted on Chris  ) solution would be to add the possibility to move those questions from the QA to the discussion forums (or vice versa) where either
a member with a certain amount of reputation (authority and/or organiser?) can either vote to move it or move it directly, or the user posting the question may do so. (Maybe add a button to the question where other users can click so the poster gets notified that the question might be better suited in the discussion forums, etc.)

That's the reason i suggested the moderation queue so 'debatable' questions can be reopened. Inshort, theres still possibility that it can be discussed.

Hi Rohan,
I think your idea is practical in the sense it puts the burden for the work of "resurrection" of closed posts onto the membership, rather than CP staff.
Another "thorny" issue I see is: how one can change the behavior of certain very high-rep frequent QA respondents who post frequent "solutions" that are nothing more than "sermons," or "lectures," that, at best, fumigate with technical rhetoric and very general advice the OP's question. That such "solutions" seem to almost auto-magically get a 5 vote within minutes of their posting is an interesting phenom.
I am as concerned about the issue of how we "elevate" excellent, stand-out, content so it "floats above" the great churning cosmic ocean of "other."
Does the rating/rep system as it is now encourage/enable that optimally ?
cheers, Bill

I'm not sure if a 3D-incarnation of Bob could be G-rated

G-rated = appropriate for children, as opposed to X-rated

ah...  .
Not sure why you think that, but I doubt it would be a problem

Hi Moderator,
Whenever, I tried to cast my vote for article or forum reply, I am getting:
Someone at your IP address has already voted for this item
Not understand, why it is coming. I am using a public computer from Cyber Café. My doubt is that all systems are having same IP. If it is so. Does this mean I never cast a vote or if I cast my vote then someone else who will be sitting on the same system would not be able to cast the vote.
Any suggestion!

I believe this message is delivering accurate information. Someone at that Cyber Cafe must really like the same articles as you.
Thanks,

I agreed with you. I just asked one fellow sitting next to my system and I am able to replicate this.
My question - isn't it negative for a writer who submitted the article. I know writers are doing best at Code project and by casting a vote people like me are encourage their work.
Suppose in a day 5 persons tried for vote a same article and actually only one person able to vote successfully, which means that article got loss of 4 votes (loss is not monetary meaning here).

The system is designed the way it is so that people can't cheat their votes. We continually make changes to the voting system to make sure it is as fair as possible and accurate to members reading those articles.
I have no doubt that the good articles by our talented authors will be receive plenty of legitimate votes.
Thanks,

Thanks, I don't want to debate here. But, I am still in doubt.
Anyways, thanks a ton for quick reply.

The probability that several developers visit CP from the same Ciber Cafe is much, much, much, but very much lower than the probability of people trying to fool the system and farm reputation in a not legitime way (i.e. socket puppets)

You cannot vote but you can comment. If I were you, I'd post a comment praising the author, his article, and just be very aggressive in suggesting that the article helped you change your life. I think that'd be more valuable to the author than a second vote from that same IP address.

Hi Moderator,
I would like to see the feature of mentorship.
Is it possible that someone send a request via CopeProject to add members into there Code Project profiles so, great leader of CP (authors), which provides mentoring, can be added by new members or those who are seeking any mentorship.
Can we see something like 'Mentor' badge on CP profiles?
|
|
|
|
|
Looking at the profile of a member you can tell if he/she is a mentor...Look for this: mentor[^]
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks I got it. But, is there any feature which provides the facility to add that Mentor in my profile.
Searching a mentor is a pain by looking a badge

I tried to change it, but it didn't take. I let Sean fix it tomorrow.
|
|
|
|

Thanks anyway. It's the second time this happens to this particular blog. Very strange, but Sean was able to fix it last time
