Yes, it's paid in rep points - but once taxes are assessed, you normally end up out of pocket ...

I've just updated one of my new articles this morning and got a 1/5 without leaving any comment or interesting suggestion. The vote was not removed because the article is relatively new and has not got enough upvotes. I also got another 1/5 on another article but this one was removed because the article has enough upvotes.
Do serial downvoters still exist on CodeProject?

Always have and always will, for the same reason they troll!
I don't think before I open my mouth, I like to be as surprised a everyone else.

Well, I can't speak for any of the others, but...
Seriously, I see no reason to vote an article a 1 when I can report it as "Extremely poor quality" or something instead. Not meaning yours, of course. Not sure I saw it.
In so many cases, I feel I'm not qualified to judge an article, so I don't.

This. This is helpful, where a one star is not, especially if you point out weak areas that could use improvement.

Apparently there are plenty of peeps (not saying you) that feel qualified enough to argue on them though.

Definitively yes.

No problem, vote deletion can happen later too. If enough upvotes come, then it will disappear. The "age" of the vote has nothing to say in that balance

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Hi! Just a quick note to let you know that when you report an article as spam (as you just did with two of them) you also need to report the user as well, both on their home page, and on the Spam and Abuse Watch Discussion Boards[^].
If you don't, then when the article closes we have no way to dispose of the spammer and that just makes his job easier next time.
You also get a little extra rep as a "thank you" when you do that.
When you report in S&A, please make sure the title of the article and the username appear in the subject line - that way we don't get multiple reports of the same spam!

I had the same thing happen to me just now, and it isn't the first time.

And not only with articles. Everyone here gets it from time to time even in the forums.

It's a shame when you put so much time and effort on an article and someone who even didn't read it come and vote 1/5 without leaving any reason or any comment.

|

Yeah, it's disappointing, but some people just want to be jerks.

What you learned is not correct and has been discussed many times: No votes (at least dwon votes) without comments.
On the other hand, speaking of a series after two downvotes is also quite questionable

I didn't follow what you were saying, suggesting or whatever.

Sorry to hear about that, I also experienced this with some of my articles and I think something should be done about this. Maybe its a small consolation to you that I upvoted your article with 5 points.

Yeah, I noticed a while back when an article of mine literally got attacked with downvotes that:
CP LoopHole!
It is far better to write an article and post it in the forum because no one can downvote in here without you knowing who it is.

Really? How does one see that?

Downvote
<=== (down arrow over on left)
doesn't do anything, right?
And if you do a thumbs down (the icon/emojis) then you can see who made that vote.
Oh, for those, you just float over them and it shows who voted using emoji.
Here', I'll downvote your message with a thumbs down. 
So...

Looking at one of my down voted messages.
- Hovering over down vote button does nothing.
- Clicking on it just returns a message that I cannot vote on my own thread.
- Clicking on emoji button gives same/similar message.
- Hovering over vote total at bottom does nothing - it is not clickable.
Looking at your emoji
- Hovering over it does give a name.
Oddly enough I also see the following for myself.
- In the Lounge down vote is disabled.
- In Free Tools there is no down/up vote button at all. But it does have the 'Rate' (1 to 5) at bottom of screen.
