Points for Downloads plunged form 5 to 1
-
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.

Is this a change in points system ?
Information on the changes is on the Reputation tab of the Professional Profile

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, 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! :(

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.

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.

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

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.

After all they are not like frequent flyer miles! They don't make you no better looking. You can't eat them. You friends don't have point envy. (Well come to think of it maybe some do) I'm with you they are pretty to look at but in the end ain't good for nothing. :)

Yes, but they also assigned them based on 10 years of server logs instead of just the last few months worth. It probably had something to do with Maunder's ~200k downloads and the 1M rep points it would've generated dwarfing everything else on the site. :doh:
3x12=36 2x12=24 1x12=12 0x12=18
