Well I have never thought about these facts. I think you are right about it. It will have more drawbacks to the newbees other than helping them. But as Pete advised it can be a good tip/trick or article. I will work on it and when I prepare it i will share it to public.

Here's a really wild thought. We could call this type of thing, an article or a tip/trick.
|
|

It is a wild and i think it can be a never ending tip7trick article as well but i will have the headstart and will see what it goes from there.

Excellent. I look forward to reading it.

I have two articles:
Total Downloads = 1821 + 155
Total Book Marks = 8+8
Total Votes(all 5*) = 5 + 2
And my Author reputation is 1797... Something seriously wrong.
May be time to redefine all classical math operations; like 1+1 = -12 ; 1-1 = -24; 1/1 = 32; 1x1 = undefined

Read the post at the top of this page.
And your math is wrong: 1+1=3, as any book about making children will prove.

It was a proposal(the math ops), thanks for the feedback and correcting them. Way to go!
Thanks,

The maths is designed to recognise the reputation of the "bigger hitters" of Code Project. This means that a +5 from someone like myself will count more for your article than an account that was created 10 minutes ago. One of the reasons for this is so that people get rewarded more, the more they contribute - and your article/tip/whatever vote gets a heavier weight vote which people should trust more.

Whatever may be its pure sense that it should be more than 1976 + 7votes + 16 bookmarks. it cannot be 1797

Downvotes lower the total as they add negative values.

No you don't. I went and looked at your articles - you have votes lower than 5 in both of them.

Now go into your articles and hover over the stars rating box - take a look at what you see in there. That's what I did, and I saw that there were downvotes on your articles (take a look at the explanation in there about the removal of statistical outliers).

I dont see any lower rating there... Are we comparing apple to platypus ?

This is bizarre, and I think there's been a problem here on CP. I raised a bug report because Sacha's latest article was showing a 2 vote without a comment; now your article was also showing me a 2 vote. Today, however, the 2 votes are gone. What does your author reputation show now?

Thank you for understanding the problem.

A serious suggestion / idea / query for the boys.
If, as it seems, voting is dead in the water - deader than a wolf on JSOP's lawn, deader then Jimmy Savile's legacy - then what of the future?
I liked voting, it's a nice way of showing that you've read something and want to reward [or punish] the author of said piece. I am not a fan of whole-scale unibombing or happy pill high fiving anyone who replies to you. So there must be a compromise somewhere...
[Vilmos does the whole 'woo woo' effect complete with wavy hands]
... imagine a place where opinion can be given, but not a bland +/- points but as moderation, giving a quick one word comment to indicate pleasure or disgust.
My idea is to give members a choice of comment words - maybe five or ten each of positive, neutral and negative. Voting would be two steps, click on the group - positive - then on the comment word - funny. That then forces users to think a bit more about their moderations.
The second part is to restrict the number of votes a user can make in a day - maybe starting at 1 a day for newbies increasing to a maximum of 20 for big time forumators. Not a lot of votes can be cast so those that are made will really mater.
As I say, if voting is totally Jim Morrison then so be it, but if there's a chance of a new form, then how about it?

Voting's not dead. He's just having a nap after a long squawk.
