    Hi, This user User[^] is back in top expert in 24 hours. Thugh user has answered only two questions in 24 hours and neither of them is accepted or upvoted. Nor the user has any old questions that are getting accepte/upvoted to bring and keep him in top list. Marcus also initiated thread Old Thread[^] when the user made it to top for 4-5 days continuously. As said in that thread, it is not spam but could be some bug in pointing system which being exploited. Worth checking. [UPDATE]: There is a bug, Just now I got three times point for answering one question. Added a bug in Site Bug/Suggestion.

    Thanks, Milind

      The account is no longer active. He made it into the monthly 4th place and I was getting excited about seeing him rise to the top with very minimum work (compared to the other Top 5 members) :| Soren Madsen

        I am not sure why yet. He was getting high points because of some bug, then why the account got deactivated !?

        Thanks, Milind

          Perhaps it was not just the bug you mentioned. I think you and others have said you were sometimes getting 10-30 extra points per answer. There was one day he posted 2 answers and got 450-500 point with none of them being Accepted and no noticeable up-votes on any of his answers. Soren Madsen

            Yes, that means there is some more serious bug which the member was exploting which may need to be addressed.

            Thanks, Milind
