CP User Status
-
Some time ago there was a discussion about the rating of different articles. There were lots of posts regarding the fact that users with higher CP status weight more when voting. However I don't get something: How valid/important/relevant is the voting of a user that is "Silver" for example when he reached that "Silver" status because posting 6 articles: . 2 of them are in the Purgatory . 2 of them have a rating < 1.5 and popularity almost the same . 2 of them have a rating < 1.0 and a popularity value quite close http://www.codeproject.com/script/articles/list_articles.asp?userid=660295[^] Do you think his vote for an article should weight the same as articles from other "Silver" users? http://www.codeproject.com/script/profile/whos_who.asp?VT=arts&PN=47[^]. Maybe a "Cleanup" procedure should be done by CP in order to remove all Purgatory items or change the calculation of the "Membership Status" based also on Popularity/Voting of their articles. One more: I think authors should not be allowed to vote their own articles. For to many times you see an article with 1 vote of "5" (I suppose the author voted his own article, as it better with a red bar than with a white one). Comments? Tutu.

You seem to have some good thoughts there. The members of the CP team are feverishly working on a bunch of features right now, and I'm sure they'd welcome more input. This sort of stuff usually goes in the "Suggestions" forum. -Jeff here, bloggy bloggy

I have been a member for more then a year and have posted. After a year shouldn't I go up one level? /\ |_ E X E GG
I found this out the hard way - the membership status isn't done automatically. They go through and make a bunch of membership level upgrades semi-manually at specific times. For awhile I was the king of the no status - having thousands of posts, over 6 months of membership and 1 article and yet I was still "No status" :)

:confused: Mine went up when I expected: on 10 April 2004, it went from Bronze to Silver, one year after I joined; then, after I'd posted 1000 messages, it went from Silver to Gold the following evening. I wasn't sitting there watching, but I suspect it's a batch job that runs at 00:00 Toronto time. Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

Odd. I had read here before that many people weren't automatically upgraded. Maybe I had a red flag in my folder for being subversive :)
