    I am a platinum debator and when I vote any post up then it is only giving 6 reputation points to the person whose post I am upvoting. Shouldn't it be 24 considering I am a platinum debator? Or is it based on some total reputation points. I am not sure whether this is a bug or the feature.

        This is looking to be a big problem now. I upvoted a person's post and he said he got 3 points when I'm a Gold Debator. I wonder if this bug happens only in General Indian Topics? Because I was upvoted earlier today in The Lounge by someone and it gave me 24 points.

          How does he know the upvote was from you? We don't publish this information. If you send me a link to the message I can look at his rep points and see what's happening.

            Here[^] is such a post, when me and Nish were discussing the same issue. I gave a 5 on his post to test and he replied to me that it gave him 6 points.

              The current logic in the system is: A post in a non-programming forum gives you debator points. Up-vote a non-programming forum message gives the voter organiser points and the votee participation points. I'll change this so points are awarded as debator points.

                I think this clarifies it. In this when I upvote someone in non programming forum then it will be bronze points only because I am bronze organizer.

                  I believed I always get debator points when someone upvoted my posts in non-programming forums, but then again you know much better than me.

                    Well actually I upvoted all good replies in one of my threads. The person asked me if I was the one who did it and gave me a 5 as well. That was when he noticed that he received less points. Link to thread: GIT is awesome[^] Link to that post: The post[^] By the way sorry for the late reply Chris. I didn't find much time to login before.

                        Woo hoo looks like its working fine now. If I am upvoting it is giving 24 reputation to the person. Check that out for yourself also.

                          Chris, it is happening. I created another account. I logged into that account and posted a thread. Then I went into my main account and voted a 5 on my other account thread. I only got 6 points and I am a platinum debator. So is it based also on rep points as well? [EDIT] I see you have fixed the problem. Thanks.

                            Surely you mean Debator points? Take the message below 'cut & pasted' stright from my Rep Point table. It has always been Debator points. Hence why my Debator points are quite high in comparison to my Participation points. 27 Feb 2011 5:39 AM General Forum Message Upvoted Debator Forum Message Predictions For the 'Big One' 24
