your points are now correct
Hmm. My reputation tab is 200 author points short of my about tab. Never seen so large a difference. BTW: the recalculation was real quick, I never noticed; maybe also because I was away most of the day... :)

I'm surprised how things changed so much. I gained in author which I suspect is the bookmarking. Lost in debator and participant so overall approximately 400 down in total. :sigh:

It is being run again, the Participant points were scooted. I pointed this out to #1 and he is redoing from start.

Yep, new author points and debator points for being bookmarked. Don't know about loosing debator/participant points though, I haven't lost any. I seem to have lost 80 authority points, for no apparent reason. ADDED: what may have changed is this: I have noticed a lot of limits have been added to the FAQ, limiting almost every event to a specific number a day. If those limits now are effective, one could loose points. :)

You'd better stop posting in Lounge, you've already lost 3000 debator points today. :)

A discrepancy between the numbers on two different tab pages will not get solved by running things again, it seems indicative of a bug somewhere. :)

No, the problem was that the total is incorrect. I am currently at 1981 points. Given that there is 1000 for MVP, plus my daily ones for signing in and my weekly fives for surveys, it means all the points I should have accrued for comments on the other fora are uncounted.

Comments don't exist in forums; "general" replies in programming forums, and all replies in non-programming forums yield debator points. And as Chris already pointed out, signing in wasn't logged for years. BTW: The FAQ says "A member receives points for posting a new comment." Makes me wonder how they determine the newness. Some people post lots of "good answer" messages wherever they can. :-D

yes. This has worked before. And I don't really agree, if a comment-like reply in a forum yields debator or authority points, why would it yield points in a different category for Q&A? Look at the different ways to get participant points, posting a comment simply does not fit in that list. :)

How to gain Participant points... MVP, 1000 points once a year maybe. Newsletter opt in, 50 points, once only. Sign-up, 100 points, once only. Daily sign-in, 1 point, once a day. Weekly Survey,5 points, once a week. The only other way shown to get points is Post Comment, 1 point for the comment, up to 25 a day. It is this one that I am not getting awarded. I understand that if I post an answer, then I am rewarded for that answer, but as I am commenting on a particular Subject or article, that is a participation within that subject. EG, If I edit, and get the edit points, and then leave a reason for my edit, (which I think is the correct procedure), then I have participated. That ought to give the point as a particpant point, not a debator point, for there was nodebate, but merely information provided as to why I have improved the thing I edited.

1. yes, posting a comment should be rewarded. 2. I don't know whether "post comment in Q&A" actually gets rewarded at all right now, I stay well away of Q&A. 3. My point is: all contributions to participation, except "post comment in Q&A", are of a more macroscopic nature. Everything one reads. posts, replies, comments, votes, bookmarks, could be construed as participation but isn't, why would "posting a comment" be then? It really should yield debator or authority points, nothing else. :)

Better Authority points because It is related to the Q/A(Which is calculating in Authority points too).

**IMO it should be consistent with how the forums are handled. And yes too many replies are called "general" and awarded debator points there, I have had a couple of discussions with Chris about that already. It starts with the default "message type"; it could easily be improved, it may be hard to get it (almost) right though. :)

As I said, it is not a debate, it is an improvement nut not an answer. So it cannot be Debator Points, and it cannot be Authority Points. But the participation is still there.

**How can clarifying a question be an Authority Point? Answering it, yes, but to inform that an action has been taken is participation.

What else could comments be? As Dave pointed out, a comment on an answer is not necessarily a contribution that adds to the answer, nor is it (always) a debate, a question, or (necessarily) organisation.
