Why do I see this button on someone else's profile as well? It appears to the user that we can log him/her off from other places.

It's just an error in the display logic - it's still in beta and was accidentally made visible. You can't actually log off other's sessions. I've removed it.

Strange article

Here is the article Why you should rewrite your code for the new C++ 11 && operator[^]

It's not often I find an article that really rubs me the wrong way, but this is pretty close to rubbish. I'm more than a bit surprised that it got approved.

The subject is indeed interesting, but something went wrong in the approval procedure: this should never have been accepted in this shape.

Mikhail Semenov has written a pretty nice article about Move Semantics and Perfect Forwarding in C++11[^]

Rewards on CP

Not sure if this belongs to this forum or to the soapbox Smile | :)

Anyhow, as you probably know, several games have different kinds of rewards: You do something several times enough, you get a reward. The reward is typically represented as an icon along to your profile.

Why not having something like that on CP? For example, you report 50 posts as a spam, you get a reward "Spammer splatter" which would have a proper icon and so on. These icons would be collected to profile pages and shown with the profile.

I admit, this would be completely useless, but nevertheless it could also be fun. Smile | :)

Why do you need a reward, to do the correct thing? I don't think it would be fun.

You don't. The spammer splatter was just an example. Smile | :)

Just had a look at your icon. It says MVP. Completely useless, Smile | :)

but it tells everyone that you're helping people out.

Useless? Nonsense!

You get many benefits with MVP-hood:

3) The ability to read your own mind.

That is not useful for me... Sigh | :sigh:

Before arriving to Canada I would have got an... "accident"...

The oily man + mankini + nipple tassles... well, this is scary enough to start trolling here in CP...

And reading oneself mind... that could be useful indeed!

You're awarded a point (with a maximum of 25 per day) for each spam-article that you report Smile | :)

Actually I thought that this would have nothing to do with the rep points etc. Just a bunch of collectible items... Although now as you mention, perhaps after collecting enough of items they could be traded to an orange, CodeProject signed swatter Smile | :)
