[Suggestion] Total vote for all posts during this year.
-
I think it will be a good idea to show the total votes a person got under the Messages posted page of each person. I dont know how you decide a person to be code project MVP. I guess its based on the votes he got. How ever, If you show the base line for this and by how much we are lagging, it will be helpful.

If they did that though people might start abusing this, such as voting others down to help reduce the competition. Regards, --Perspx

So do CP have a restriction in number of MVPS's ? I though all qualified persons will pass. Also almost all the senior members in a forums are friends. So this type of abusing will be less ( There may be exceptions ). Also how much impact a down vote does on a persons scrore is unknow. What if they are not even considering down votes in this process.

I don't know how it works. It just sounds like the system could be abused if MVP selection is based on total votes and everyone knows their total number of votes. Regards, --Perspx

I am sure their is an initial formula for getting the finalists, but Chris (and other CP admins) have the final say in the matters.

There supposedly is more to it than just the number of votes. Has something to do with article count as well.

Not true. Most of us know each other through the forums only, and have never actually met. There are quite a few online friendships, but these go well beyond the MVPs. MVP status is usually awarded based on how much help you give, not how well we know Chris & co. - so, if you want to be an MVP take the time to help people in the different forums. Write some articles, but don't expect to become an MVP quickly - it takes time and dedication.
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

MVP status is based on votes for both articles and messages. As others have said, enabling others to view a list of where everyone is at in the rankings will encourage malicious voting.

Thanks...I understands the situation. I usally answer the question in forum just because I like it.. Being an MVP is only second. Mostly I dont get much free time to spend in Codeproject. I was just curious to know my rank. :-\

I agree with Pete...most of the people here (whether they are senior or not) know each other only in an online fashion. While there are a handful of members that have met each other, I think that is in the minority and only happens occasionaly.
