Why do you need a reward, to do the correct thing? I don't think it would be fun.

You don't. The spammer splatter was just an example. Smile | :)

Just had a look at your icon. It says MVP. Completely useless, Smile | :)

but it tells everyone that you're helping people out.

Useless? Nonsense!

You get many benefits with MVP-hood:

1) A key to the Executive Toilet
2) A Certificate, hand delivered by an oiled man in only a mankini and nipple tassles.
3) The ability to read your own mind.

That is not useful for me... Sigh | :sigh:

Before arriving to Canada I would have got an... "accident"...

The oily man + mankini + nipple tassles... well, this is scary enough to start trolling here in CP...

And reading oneself mind... that could be useful indeed!

Why not having something like that on CP? For example, you report 50 posts as a spam, you get a reward "Spammer splatter" which would have a proper icon and so on.

You're awarded a point (with a maximum of 25 per day) for each spam-article that you report Smile | :)

Actually I thought that this would have nothing to do with the rep points etc. Just a bunch of collectible items... Although now as you mention, perhaps after collecting enough of items they could be traded to an orange, CodeProject signed swatter Smile | :)

Hi Mika,

In my humble opinion: this would just introduce "merit-badge clutter" aka "visual static," as found on sites like StackOverFlow. I am astounded my trivial contributions there have earned me twenty-three "badges" Smile | :)

I say this with the greatest respect for StackOverFlow, and Jeff Atwood, its uber-genius creator (with Joel Spolsky, who is now CEO of StackExchange), blogger par excellence[^], and such monster-technical-intellect(so prolific !), monster-rep contributors/editors to SO as: Jon Skeet (now with Google, England ?), Erik Lippert from Microsoft, the polymath Marc Gravell, and many others.

I really believe CP's current rep system is well-done, is continually fine-tuned by all the hamsters, from the Hamster-In-Chief on down, and appropriately simple (interface parsimony).

best, Bill

Changing article to tip/trick - Reputation not updated...

When changing from an article to a tip/trick, I noticed that I was still awarded 100 author points, rather than the 10 for a tip/trick.

Just fyi.

By design. We had so many members posting HTML in code blocks, and so many requests to have markups automatically HTML encoded, that we HTML encoded markups in Pre blocks.

You can use <span class=highlight>...</span> to highlight stuff in PRe blocks.
