    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.

            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.

                  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! :(

                    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.
