I love rating, for me it's one of the reasons to improve or to submit an article.
I read some laments about unjustified low ratings, and I'm a victim too 
I'd like to advance this solution:
Only Silver, Gold and Platinum members can rate an article
Because:
1) as in real communities, only majors can vote.
2) the most voted article has only 418 votes, despite the 250000 members, so this will not affect the ammount of votes
3) no one can create a fake account just to pull down an article or to rise his own ratings.
Best Regards

Or how about showing the average voted by each level of membership:
Platinum members average: 5.0
Gold members average : 4.9
Silver:...
Bronze:...

Here are the results (a couple of weeks old)
Level Average
Platinum 3.0
Gold 3.4
Silver 3.6
Bronze 3.8
It just shows that the higher level a member is, the more fussy they are. The spread isn't that much though so all it says is 'on average people vote about 3.5'

Really intriguing stats those.
What would also be interesting to see is how many 1's 2's 3's 4s 5s were awarded.
Does anyone award a 3 ?

I would like to suggest hosting lightweight project foundries a la sourceforge.net[^]. There are a couple of things that I'd like to begin that require more expertise or energy than I have, but I don't want to go through the hassle of starting a sf.net project.
Any ideas? Has this already been suggested and dismissed?

You can add an article using the submission wizard and mark it as 'do not move' (add the comment at the end of the article text). That way you'll always be able to update. You can also add as many people as you want to the author's list so it should be simple to have collaboration.
cheers,

I dont know if this exists or doesnt or whatever, but the forums definately need search capability. There is no point in going through pages and pages and pages and pages of forum discussions just to find out that no one ever asked this question or posting a question that has been asked many times more.
So.... to make my story short, the forums need a way to search them just like the articles have their own search. If they do have a search, please someone tell me where it is because i couldnt find it.

Have you tred the 'search comments' link next to the 'Set Options' button at the top of the forums?

No, but now that Ive tried it, its exactly what i was looking for.
Would it be possible to make it read: "Search Message Boards" instead... because Search Comments doesnt say much in terms of what the search actually does, or thats just my opinion.
Thanks very much for pointing me in the right direction.

Not complaining too much but is there a problem with the CP webservices?[^]
My CP+ utility has been showing the same list of lounge posts and articles for the last 5 days or so. I checked the WS and it is also out of date. Last message is the Admin downtime message

*Paul sighs*
CP+[^] came before Desktop Bob and was a simpler version. It does pretty much the same thing, listing new Lounge posts and Articles. I did it to prove a VB coder could do C++ (ok, MC++) and also to try out webservices etc.
The VS.NET add-in part of it is not working well. But the stand-alone version works very well IMO. Sits in my taskbar everyday allday giving me updates on CP.
Obviously I need to learn a thing or to about marketing from the maker of Desktop Bob

Hi..

Chris, something similar has happened to me too. I have been with CP for the past 11 months (less than 1 year), have posted 0 articles, and posted 758 messages (including this one). I should have been silver even according to your comment above, but I have turned gold just a couple of days back.
I am not complaining, but I do feel guilty. I don't deserve the gold status yet.

this way i think it will be too easy to be golden and platinium members
I also suggest admins to add more categories to make them more than just four..
