Is there no way to limit the member downloads, for example 20 files per day?
Cheers, Jani Giannoudis

Why would you want to do that?
The purpose of the site is to provide information for programmers and help them.
It's not to gain reputation points.
It doesn't happen much but I'v downloaded over 20 files a day in search of an answer to a problem.

Limiting to, say, 250 downloads is reasonable I would think

By the way aren't you on vacation?

I'm curious about what 'Whacked' actually means.
When I'm spammed I'll dissuade them from trying again by using an SMTP mailer that will loop and restate my request as many times as I wish (each w/a different return address and slightly different subject and body). Usually it's something like "If ten requests isn't enough, I can send a lot more" - making sure, first, that the sender is actually the sender and not itself a faked innocent's address. It works well for getting someone too lazy to remove me from their list to decide it's less work to do so.
So how do you whack-a-mole?

In this case, I use my awesome prowess and reputation to click the Report Spammer option. Unfortunately, you have to be above a certain rep level to even see this link.

Write some articles on topics that people hopefully find interesting. That's what I did.

Voting like a corpse in Chicago helps too. Most of my rep is from lounge blather, but 100 days of 25 lounge votes will get platinum organizer. Spraying votes across the rest of the site could accomplish the same in a few weeks.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I just noticed while looking for Best VB.Net Articles of September[^] that it showing an article[^] that is already a prize winner in month of July 2011 and its posted date is 2 Sep,2011. 
Is this a bug or I am still dreaming?

The same set of articles are displaying for all the months.

No I too see the same.

That survey doesn't start until October, but when the time comes to pick the actual articles to vote on only September articles will be included.

If you look at the article the first posted date is 2 Sep 2011 but actually it is winner in July 2011 competition. Seems to be first posted is showing wrong.
|

|

Look at the revision history, first post was in july, so something is a miss.
|
|
|
|
|
The author requested his article be removed temporarily while making some updates. I suspect that once the article was returned online it went into "pending" status. Then once the pending status article is approved the first posted date changes. We'll look into it more closely to uncover precisely what happened and find a solution to prevent it happening again.

Seems that the Q&A is extremely slow and every now and then I get no results for example when trying to see new questions. The only message is:
"Sorry, no entries were found." (kinda hard to believe...)
Same kind of symptoms if I randomly open a question or profile: "Sorry, the item you requested could not be found."
This doesn't seem to be related to a single server since at least web22-24 all give this response occasionally.

I think the whole site seems slower tonight......maybe something to do with the 109,223 online! Think thats the highest i've seen it.
Probably a rogue spider........

Good point! Didn't notice that. Now it's dropped to 64k and things are lot, lot faster.

No spider, just lots of people reading the newsletter and clicking those links.

The same thing happening again, roughly 1 day later and now only ~20k members online.
