Reputation ranking on the code project

Question

1.00/5 (1 vote)

On the code project, everybody has a reputation. I'd like to know how well my reputation is doing compared with everybody else, just as articles get ranked.

As in, am I number 1000 or more like 10000 (with the person with the highest reputation being number 1)?

(Yeah, I know, I'm overly competitive)

Getting more CodeProject points does not make a person more competitive. Looking at this score does not provide any evaluation of person's competitiveness. :-)

Just a note.

Exactly. It doesn't provide a measure of much more than the lack of a life :)

Thank you, Richard. Well, this is not just luck; this is much more about some effort and knowledge/experience, but it does not mean competition. For example, to me, competition does not matter.

CodeProject points are only important as a tool to measure trust to an expert and modify member's rights accordingly. The sheer goal is to provide better quality of help.

I'm not sure if I agree with your last paragraph, I think it is only a measure of a person's involvement with the site, not necessarily "measure trust to an expert" as you stated.

I agree with you. By the way, I did not insist this measure is reliable or something. What I say in my comment was just the opposite (will you read it again?), I mean that a trust should be measured on a personal opinion looking just at the post, not looking at the score.

To my regret, I found that some members of CodeProject, not to be named, got high scores by posting tons of advise which only show total ignorance of such "expert", but some votes of some naive members provided high total score, just because of overwhelming quantity of the posts. Too bad...

If you want points, join us in the Lounge and make daily posts about bacon and such. It seems to work.

Your book sounds interested though, how useful is it to a beginner in ASP, but more advanced in C#?

Well, if you know your score, you can easily find yourself in the scheme of things by going to the Features | Who's Who menu item and filtering on Reputation score. If I recall correctly, people with about 12k scores start at around page 25 or so (with 25 users per page), so that means you're 25 * 25, or right around 625th.

EDIT ==================

When you consider that we theoretically have almost 8 million users, 625th place ain't bad at all.

Your points don't mean anything to anyone but you. I've taken to competing with myself. I try to earn at least 1000 points per day, and up until the latest points recalc, I was trying to get my authority score to be higher than my debator score (a tough thing to do when you participate heavily in the non-programming forums). I was about 3000 points away from accomplishing that when the latest recalc was performed. Now I'm about 60K point shy of accomplishing that goal. It will literally take years to catch it back up.

The best way to earn points is to post articles/tips/blog entries, and answer questions in Q/A. If you participate A LOT over the course of the calendar year, you could earn VIP status, which is worth 1000 points.
