Wow!  You're going to redirect questions to StackOverflow?

You mean this hasn't been happening?

On the MSDN forums, there are an increasing number of answers where the post consists of a link to a StackOverflow thread. I don't know how they do it but when you google on specific keywords, there's a StackOverflow thread in the first 10 results.
The CP forums/Q-A sub-site is not as well indexed on Google for some reason. Nor are the MSDN forums for that matter. I wonder what SO is doing that gives them the higher Google ranking.

I have noticed that recently (the last week or so I think) that my Author rep seems to be increasing but without anyone voting on my articles/tips and me not posting any either.
Not sure if this a bug or not - are we getting rep for views or something similar?

It would certainly add a popularity rather than quality element to the rep which may or may not be a good thing depending on your point of view. I'll stay on the fence for now!

Maybe some of the 1-votes are removed when their owner-accounts got deleted?
|

|

Possibly, but then the articles average/tip average score would have changed too which doesn't seem to have happened (unless there's some caching somewhere)

I've never seen delays, with one exception: browsing forums shows message votes with a delay (I'd say max 1 minute), i.e. the vote count goes up and down as different servers deliver the same page.

Hm, I don't think Dave is a popular target for 1-votes, but yes it is a possibility: if a low vote gets somehow removed, and a high vote gets added, author rep would rise, vote count would not change.

I keep my head down (i.e. out of the Back Room and SB), I'm not very active in the lounge although I visit it several times a day and I tend to keep away from flame wars. I just can't be bothered to deal with confrontation in my 'leisure' time here on CP - not my idea of fun!

That's what I meant, and I do pretty much the same.
FWIW: I think some or all of the back rooms have been disarmed.

Dave, I haven't noticed anything special on my own author rep (and I think I would have if there were some anomaly), and I can't see anything special on yours either.
You probably remember we both have updated our T&Ts on John's instigation, around May 22, when Chris added a description line. That made them feature (again) on the CP home page, probably leading to new views and votes. Although that was more than 2 weeks ago, I would venture it as the cause of what you now see happening.
An alternative would be a bug in T&T, where my activity is pretty low, while yours isn't. Maybe adding/editing comments yields author rep without being listed in the rep FAQ table.

That would make sense, although that would be better in Authority if I understand the groupings correctly.

Jim Crafton brought up an interesting point - the Reputation Points/Graph doesn't include man points.
I think this is a rather egregious omission and should remedied forthwith.

What is 'man' points? Am i missing something? Was it there earlier?

This Lounge post[^] might enlighten you, though John's suggestion is in part, a jest.

there is no end to the list of missing categories: courage, sacrifice, quality, creativity, originality, wit, civility, W&KS safety, etc. etc. I'm afraid the hamsters can't cope with all that, they seem quite busy keeping the mills going as it is.
