Adding to that... why not give MVP status all over the year based on fulfillment of a certain critera and not just annually?
|

I don't think that would be right, because at that point, you wouldn't be able to really list MVP status on a persons profile without a moderate amount off re-coding.
Beyond that, your score can go down as well as up. This means you'd gain MVP status and loose it, and gain it, and lose it, and gain it again. Evidence - my total reputation score bounced around yesterday by as much as 20 points for most of the day, going up and then down several times.

Maybe that explains your recent "pretty foul mood" as you called it. Or is it the other way around?

Nope - the foul mood happened on Friday (I think). My score bouncing was a direct result of the latest message from space. To be honest, I was kind of surprised at the voting on that.

It's ok. It can be once you attain sort of. Fluctuation wont be drastic i believe...
For example...lets say if you get 30K points... in an expected ratio of various categories you get MVP... now downvoting might reduce few points (max 100...200 points...) that should be acceptable. Once user has attained a level, he can be awarded for it... If fluctuation is given importance then people might univote intentionally...

Yep! Re-coding is involved but why not? It would be something on a continous basis that can be encouraging for members.
Other way around to avoid the re-coding... make it a Monthly analysis and award just like monthly competitions. If someone fulfills the criteria then award the MVP status at the end of each month... and not let OP wait till year end.

it takes more than three months to ship MVP certificates, those shiny documents we cover our walls with. So MVP status should not change more than once a year... And the criteria are top secret, only a few of the hamsters know.

This is probably best so that people continue to bust their ass trying to contribute in the hope that it will be enough on the 1st of January.
At the very least, you gotta post articles (probably three or more) and/or tip/tricks (probably 30 or more), and answer questions in the programming forums or Quick Answers (probably a "crapload" which is more than 100 but less than 100,000). All of these contributions also have to be voted fairly high. Finally, you have to make some sort of winter clothing for the hamsters because it can get damn cold in Canadia.

Exactly.

I didn't in 2008.
Most MVP nominations seem OK, yet every year there are a few (present or absent) I cannot explain. So far I can live with that...

It's probably got to do with some sort of payola system that neither you nor I are privy to.

Cover, cover, what do you mean cover, mine has pride of place in the middle of the office wall, it does seem rather lonely out there though!

so you didn't make copies to fill all the walls?
as soon as you have a couple of different originals, the copies allow for some interesting tiling patterns.

I was looking at an article submitted [^]by a user. While looking, I clicked to see his profile. I landed up here[^]. Now, when i click his name to see other details and reputation... I am directed to my details page instead of his!
Bug if somehow you land up on 0 articles/blogs/tips tab page?
Update: Sorry guys... don't know server timing playing game... after posting i see it was already done! My bad!

I am not sure if this is a bug but my article doesnt seem to appear on my profile?
|
|

|

Not a bug: your article is waiting for people to vote it for publication. In its present form I don't think that is likely, as it is more of a code dump than an article. Take a look at the Article Submission Guidelines[^] for some tips on how to improve it.

I did read the guidelines and so far I dont see me be straying from the right path.

There is not much in terms of article content; if you remove all the code then all that is left is a couple of paragraphs which really do not offer much in the way of explanation. Try reading through a few other articles to see the sort of thing that is generally acceptable.

I just clicked a link for 4277480[^]'s profile, but it took me to my own home page.
I just followed this link[^] and got to the correct place.
[edit:2]
It seems that any link of the form http://www.codeproject.com/Members/NNNNNN where NNNNNN is a membership number, will take me to my own home page.[/edit:2]

That's funny... when you use the link you provided, it's a real user on codeproject.

I wonder if anyone will try this for all letters of the alphabet?
