And "Points" and "Reputation" should be moved next to each other; or even merged, yielding cells such as "10 Authority" and "24 Debator"

Does it really matter how the rep history page looks and works? IMHO, it does not.

I like Luc's idea. I've fiddled a bit.

I like the alignment in the Points column. However, may I recommend moving it to the end. I think it makes it easier to read Item in the middle and see the number of points quickly. Having to turn one's head over Event is annoying.

Seeing as how you aligned the Points column, you could also align the Date column the same way so that the numbers are right aligned and the months are left aligned.

I made a post here a little while ago: http://www.codeproject.com/Lounge.aspx?msg=4291841#xx4291841xx[^]
and would think nothing of it, but as I looked at my latest statistics, it showed extremely down-voted. I look at it in the post board itself and see that my post didn't receive any votes at all. That's unusual. Before that I would always see votes in the board match that in the recent statistics. What went wrong there?
Plus I was surprised to see a neutral post like this getting so many down-votes anyway...
UPDATE:
A little later I was able to see votes again in my post, and it showed just 1 vote of 2, but the stat still would say "-16" points for this. This doesn't look right...

If a platinum debator downvoted you, then that 1 downvote is -16 points.

Ouch! I didn't know that. Kind of gives even less incentive for beginning debaters to participate, if their posts get murdered by those who simply chat non-stop. Not sure if this is a good thing though.

You won't get dinged if you don't make crap posts. Post something with wit, humor, and a little dirty action and you will get 24 instead of -16.
Just a thought.

The main problem - it is all very subjective
And, for instance, if any of the social networks were using the same down-voting idea - they would loose their customers very quickly

Yes.
Every now and then, I post sheer brilliance and I am greatly rewarded for this by way of a shower of little "24's". Most of the time I piss people off and I get -16's up the ying yang.
You take the good with the bad. You will get better with this in time.

Who cares about social networks? CP is a technical forum, and the lounge/soapbox are simply there to kick back and relax. If you post rubbish just to try to appear deep, you will get downvoted faster than a republican at a democrat conference. You have to earn the right to post crap; crap is earned, not given.

So you're in the "as much crap as you like" category then.

It's not that I hadn't noticed, but I thought it was just some NE problem you had; like Newcastle Brown Ale.

It's having to deal with pseudo-Hungarians; it drives a person insane.

Try dealing with the real thing. They're librarian poo mad the lot of them!

Some points are waited to the voter's reputation, some are limited per day.
It is a complex system, kind of explained here[^]
Also there is often caching so that scores which show up in your rep don't show in the forums until some time later.
The best thing is to not watch your reputation, that way madness lies.
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

Done it. Phew, that's better, the urge passed. Don't give us opportunities like this in the future though.

I forgot to tell you earlier...don't worry about the points. Your membership and participation in the site should be genuine and not for the "points". It's a hell of a lot more fun this way.
