Thanks, I knew that and have used it, except something you wrote recently somewhere made me doubt the gold means no moderation rule.

Frankly, I don't care whether I get 10 points, 1 point or no points. If I have something interesting to write and the time to finish writing it, I'll write it. The points aren't the motivating factor.

Points are just icing on the cake for me. I spent 2 days this weekend writing an article because I know it will be useful to others, including my coworkers. Seeing the occassional upvote (or other actions that gain reputation points, such as downloads) is sort of like a periodic injection of warm and fuzzy. And annoying as they are, downvotes also serve a purpose... they serve as an excellent motivator to improve (though I'm sure you haven't gotten a downvote in like 800 years).

Oh I don't know, HWSNBN used one of his sockpuppet accounts to target a couple of my articles.

I was reading the text on one line, and then read the points from another line.
My apologies.

Check again, Hans. The author still gets his 5 points, it is the downloader who is now receiving fewer points. And that is quite right.

It's enough to double Maunder's rep points. Personally I think 2 points is still too high, but it's much less disruptive than 5 would have been once the logs were parsed. It's still probably going to be the primary source of rep for author points even after factoring in the weighting on votes. I don't like this since it really says downloadless articles are a second class product.

In my opinion a Technical Blog is an unique publication and is pursued by the following discussion.
An update should not be listed on the homepage.

Dont get Chris started again......i think he's ready to pop
See here[^]

Take a look at this message[^] - I'd appreciate comments.

Thanks Chris,
I'm not talking to remove the technical blogs, just show the 'new' blogs on the homepage.
|
|
|
|

I don't think it makes sense to show updates on articles and tips but not blogs.

Assuming you entered it through the Article Publication Wizard (as opposed to mailing it to CP staff), there is a little checkbox "Make publicly available" or something such, which you need to check when done, otherwise nobody is going to see it at all; and then the article will have to go through moderation, where only reputed authors see it and judge it, and decide on general publication. But first, check the checkbox!

Its status is currently "composing". You have to edit the article and toggle the appropriate checkbox (sorry, don't know what its label is, but it's on the submission wizard page where you select the tags and edit the content).

When I select Encode "<" (and other HTML) characters when pasting in IE9 and paste code that spans multiple lines, only the first line gets HTML encoded.
|
|
|
|
|
Added to the bug list.
The problem is that if you paste multiple lines, IE9 treats these as individual paste operations, not a single operation.
IE9 has totally screwed paste handling, which is a shame because previously IE was the only browser that handled it sensibly.

And to think, they are already working on IE10.

I've got >10 new downloads over the weekend and not a single point for them.
I really doubt all of them were duplicates (I do not pay anyone to repeatedly download my articles).
If you've introduced a new policy on the downloads, please explain it.
Thanks

I guess the points for downloads are going to be re-adjusted soon. Thus, the current download points are suspended.
But, you don't need to worry. I am sure all your download stats are being captured and kept. Once the points are re-adjusted and finalized, all the pending download points will be awarded back.

How long do you think it will take to tally the bananas downloads?
|

I don't know, but if they adjust the number of points per download, we should expect a significant adjustment to people's points totals.

So you expect the tallies to be whacked?
