You might want to read this[^]. It explains all about how the reputation points system works.

Okay, now that's just not fair. I 5ed you for posting a thanks - it's something I always do when people thank me. I'm annoyed that somebody decided to univote you for something totally innocuous.

A negative rep?

I just posted a question[^] and noticed that the view count went up when I viewed it.

Is this one of those trick questions where someone makes a statement like "A man walks out of an elevator and looks at his watch. Suddenly an elephant falls from the sky. What happened." and you have to guess these things like "was he a disgruntled circus performing midget aiding an elephant in a bizarre euthanisia pact but was actually acting as a terrorist for the Swedish government?" type thing?
Yes, when you view a question it increases the view count. We spent all night thinking about what our best option was for handling views, the view count, and the displaying of the view count, and after reading up on the topic we decided that increasing the view count would provide the most benefit to our readers and authors.

No, I was just thinking that it's a bit odd. Let's pretend I are Teh Troll, I enter a question and keep going back to it; so I can artificially increase the view count on my question. A sane person - Christian, JSOP, PO'H - comes along and sees a 'well read' question that has a lot of views so they go in to look and maybe answer - TRAPPED!
As an aside, I editted my question with extra details, a corrected spelling mistake and offers of free cash. Sadly the update went hamster-poo.

As a plus, if a 1 vote message is voted off as offensive, as all this guy's no doubt will be, will it remove the vote from the article. If not then it should be.

Yes, the actual person is

I saw him writing offensive language in Question Answer section as well.

Viewing an entry in the QA forum I see the following message: "Your reputation enables you to edit or delete this question". However even though I can get to the edit screen, and change as much as I want, when I press the Update Question button the content reverts to the original and loses any changes.

Post a Forum Answer = A member receives points for answering a question in a programming forum = 10 pt
in a programming forum such as C#, does this apply:
a) to first-level answers only to a top-level question?
b) to any reply with an "answer" icon (and thus offering good answer/bad answer votes)?
c) to any reply, including those with a "general" icon (and offering 1-to-5 votes)?
d) none of the above
whatever it is, shouldn't the replies that don't count for authority count for participation?

Thanks for pointing this out. We're looking into it.

total rep looks much better now; still not sure what happens to a cascade of replies, which by default get flagged as question - answer - general - general - ...
do 5-votes on "general" also count for authority?
if not, shouldn't those generals be answers by default?

Nope they count toward organiser.

I wouldn't say so. A lot of times what happens is a discussion breaks out. Of course, the author always has the option of setting their message as a question, answer, etc.
