There are now enough sites with rep points that you'd think some best practices would have evolved and been written up.

This certainly puts a barrier in place to those who treat the system sensible, but for those who want to make a point they just create sock puppets. It limits, but doesn't remove the problem

Idea - down-voting also removes the same points from your own total. If you get below a certain threshold of rep points, a negative action (down-voting) doesn't have any affect on what you're voting for, and the action it's essentially invisible to everybody, and ultimately pointless.
And before you pepper me with "what-ifs", I'm just the idea guy. I leave it up to the CP gods to finger out the particulars of the implementation.

Unfortunately this assumes that downvoting is always bad.

Since you can see who reacted, the origin of those drivebys will be a bit more obvious now.

OK - but you need to address the error: Fourgo.

I think this is a problem not manifested earlier.
The menu item "Latest articles" loads the page Latest Updates. On this page, there is a filter "Minimum score" which cannot be less than 1.0. Therefore, freshly published articles cannot be seen, and the event when a new article becomes published remain virtually unnoticed.
Thank you.

Articles with no votes are included regardless of the filter

Chris,
This is what I thought, but on my recent submissions I cannot see it. That's why I wrote about it.
Okay, let's check up:
Below, there are two of my most recent submissions, one is fresh, another one is update of the previous article. You can check up timing. The update is included, the fresh one is not:
Web Presentation, the Other Way Around (21 December 2020)Web Presentation, an Application in a Single FileCan you see the problem now?
Thank you.

Not sure if this is related or different - I cannot find a trace of my recent publish anywhere other than in my own details.

I even marked it updated but it never features on home page like other posts. Ideally it should be in AI category but it's not.

There was a bug, so thanks for reporting. It was an interesting one: There are two paths to getting this data: one via our Lucene text indexing server, the other straight from the database. The database had the correct results, the Lucene did not, so the problem wasn't showing for me while debugging (stepping through was throwing a timeout pushing the execution path over to the database)
There issue is still lingering, but a workaround for now is to select a rating of 1.0 and you'll get all articles no matter what.
cheers

...because 1.0 is not applicable to the articles without votes. The rating for such an article should be NaN, null, undefined, something like that. Anyway, it is not selectable.
I'll appreciate it if you update me if something changes.
Thank you.

Yeah - I noticed that too after my note - I should have updated my note.
We're working on it!

I've fixed the article.
Be sure to always reference by filename, and not by full path. The paths may change.
Also, by convention, we have downloads at the top of the article for those of us who just want to dive into the code.

The "indication that you pressed it" needs to be more obvious - perhaps removing the "smiley list" would be a good idea?
That "tick and a count" is pretty easy to miss.

Interesting. Do we get (or lose) points with these?

The rep history says not: I'll "thumbs up" yours so you can see.

Whilst still in the not-yet stage, perhaps it might be a good idea to be able to make comments that neither reward nor penalize the post.
Also - while I have your attention - maybe something, like a question mark, to signify "what in the world are you talking about?"
Another, possibly also of value, might be a "wait until you are sober" - but that's a bit more judgemental then I'd care to be.
But, for-really real real, consider what non-point-related comments could contribute.
