Digest for comp.lang.c++@googlegroups.com - 7 updates in 2 topics

Vlad from Moscow <vlad.moscow@mail.ru>: Nov 07 12:26PM -0800

I encountered that the Stackoverflow is providing an openly discriminatory policy now and even does not try to hide this.
 
My entirely correct answers are purposely down-voted.
 
Here is a refernce to such a question.
 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33583478/comparing-strings-with-if-else/33583572#33583572
 
Sometimes it can be that somebody does not agree with your answer. But usually he points the reason of the disagreement in his comment and I can provide a reference to the C Standard that to prove my point of view.
 
But the problem is nobody needs my reference. The purpose is to down-vote the answer.
 
I tried to attract attention of moderators but all was in vain.
 
On the other hand if I down-vote somebody's incorrect answer and even write in a comment what is wrong in the answer then instantly a complain follows to moderators and I am banned.
 
As I was already said several times at the same Stackoverflow the problem is that I am from Russia and this is clear from my nickname Vlad from Moscow.
 
I asked a question at Meta that to discuss the situation but again I was ignored and my question was just removed.
 
So I am again banned after my correct answer was deliberately down-voted and after I asked a question how to behave in such situations.:)

Almost all web forums are shit, I avoid them. Unfortunately usenet is
dying because of ISP's...

In my case all is done without any ceremony.
 
Now if somebody finds this reference in the internet and sees that a correct answer was down-voted he will conclude that stackoverflow is a a forum of dummies.:)

Fascism is defined as "a governmental system led by a dictator having
complete power, ...". so in this case, who is this dictator, in your mind?
 
If you get down-voted, then this most probably means you are dealing with a
democracy, not with fascism. Note that in democracy the voters need to like
you and (to some extent) what you are saying, the truth is not so important
(albeit a little more important than in fascism). Also note that the voters
might probably like you more if your name does not trigger negative
associations with all the other daily input the voters receive.

it's more an ideology than a "governmental system led by a dictator"

I wonder how many double standards there are in the West!
 
Well, then let you will be banned here because you are not from Russia and I do not like your answers. It will be indeed the democracy, is not it?:)
 
I may down vote your answers you may not. I may ban you because I do not like your answers or questions you may not.
 
It is a good democracy. I like it. When will we start to carry out the democracy?:)

At least that's how the Standard used to define those. <iostream> had
the declarations of the objects, and the classes were in the other
header. Do you think Alf and red were making it up?
