Points for Downloads plunged form 5 to 1

[saxenaabhi6]

Is this a change in points system ?

[Christian Graus]

Yes, I had noticed that. I was getting 1000k some days just from downloads, so I guess that meant it was decided it was too heavily weighted in that direction.

ya i felt the same, but if it is planned... I think the better way should be to make it happen from the date of rule change. Not for the existing downloads as it would come as a shock to those who has built there reputation based on articles.

Is that the reason my point went to 10k from 14k?:confused:

[saxenaabhi6]

of course lets see what chris have to say.. :^)

Well, the announcement is placed on your profile page -> reputation tab. It says the recalculation was done on On Jul 3, 2011

You can flame me whichever way you want and I wouldn't care a bit. But if you group me with some idiots, I'll turn into your worst nightmare.

Information on the changes is on the Reputation tab of the Professional Profile

Well, to be honest, I could care less. I see now I have 467k ( was 410k before ), so things are changing. The thing is, it's all relative. If I have more because of a change, so do you. So, even if you live for such things, who cares what the absolute number is ?

So unfair! They should leave old points as they where and from this point on, start with a new points system. :( Like a thunder from a sky! :(

[Christian Graus]

But so long as the rules are the same for everyone, what does it matter ?

Sincerely it doesn't, but still this morning, I had a big WTF on my face?!?!? They could let us now that this will be done before they actually did it.

[Dalek Dave]

They did, Chris mooted sagely upon this topic a few days ago.

Then my fault, I missed the post. However no big deal! ;) It was just for chatting a bit in the early morning.

... and this comment is worth as much as an article download... I'm still experiencing seperation anxiety from my late lamented download points.

And it is far too early :) I am sitting in my office and am the only one in the building at the moment.

It is the nicest moment in the office, I'm the only one here too! Silence, what a joy! :)

Would you like to seek counselling?
