Author Reputation Points
-
Author Reputation Point calculations seems to be buggy(since a very long time). For eg: I have two articles and two tips, all of them got avg rating 5.0 ie no downvote. Article and Tips toatal vote is 10. 1 article has been downloaded 2093 times and other one 175 times. Artcles book marked 20 times. Tips book marked 12 times. But my author reputation points are : 2080... Please review. Thanks, Kuthuparakkal

For this one, AFAIR, you don't get points every download. It's once per unique download. By unique, I mean, if I download 10 times you will get points only once but download count will be +10. Further, all the voting/points are reputation based so you will not be able to know what weight-age to use.

Last I checked, there were also daily limits on certain types of reputation points (e.g., if all 2093 downloads happened the same day, maybe only 100 of those would count towards reputation).
