The reputation points are being re-calculated, see the messages below, and ad-nauseam in the lounge.

Thanks for your help but what about Author Point[50 Point] it's also invisible because of "reputation points are being re-calculated". 
|
|
|
|

The points are being re-calculated over some database tables for all categories, as there are currently 7.5 million members (give or take 800  ), this will take some time. Exactly how it all works is shrouded in mystery, lost in some hamster cage probably made of mummies or frankincense or flint or something
Sit tight, and I'm sure that your points will appear some time in the next day or so. [Edit] If not, re-report here!

Reputation recalculation is going, that's why.

1) This is fixed, though caching means you may still see the old graph
2) You only get author points if you've posted an article, so your points are now correct

Hmm. My reputation tab is 200 author points short of my about tab. Never seen so large a difference.
BTW: the recalculation was real quick, I never noticed; maybe also because I was away most of the day...

It is being run again, the Participant points were scooted.
I pointed this out to #1 and he is redoing from start.

You posted that while I was posting mine below. Hope I get some back!

I am hoping to gain circa 1000 points!
It will make a big difference.

You'd better stop posting in Lounge, you've already lost 3000 debator points today.

A discrepancy between the numbers on two different tab pages will not get solved by running things again, it seems indicative of a bug somewhere.

No, the problem was that the total is incorrect.
I am currently at 1981 points.
Given that there is 1000 for MVP, plus my daily ones for signing in and my weekly fives for surveys, it means all the points I should have accrued for comments on the other fora are uncounted.

Comments don't exist in forums; "general" replies in programming forums, and all replies in non-programming forums yield debator points. And as Chris already pointed out, signing in wasn't logged for years.
BTW: The FAQ says "A member receives points for posting a new comment." Makes me wonder how they determine the newness. Some people post lots of "good answer" messages wherever they can.

If I make a comment on a reply in the Q&A I am supposed to get a participation point.

yes. This has worked before.
And I don't really agree, if a comment-like reply in a forum yields debator or authority points, why would it yield points in a different category for Q&A? Look at the different ways to get participant points, posting a comment simply does not fit in that list.
|

So sounds like Participant points is right now. But they still didn't updated the comments points to any category.

How to gain Participant points...
MVP, 1000 points once a year maybe.
Newsletter opt in, 50 points, once only.
Sign-up, 100 points, once only.
Daily sign-in, 1 point, once a day.
Weekly Survey,5 points, once a week.
The only other way shown to get points is Post Comment, 1 point for the comment, up to 25 a day.
It is this one that I am not getting awarded.
I understand that if I post an answer, then I am rewarded for that answer, but as I am commenting on a particular Subject or article, that is a participation within that subject.
EG, If I edit, and get the edit points, and then leave a reason for my edit, (which I think is the correct procedure), then I have participated.
That ought to give the point as a particpant point, not a debator point, for there was nodebate, but merely information provided as to why I have improved the thing I edited.

1.
yes, posting a comment should be rewarded.
2.
I don't know whether "post comment in Q&A" actually gets rewarded at all right now, I stay well away of Q&A.
3.
My point is: all contributions to participation, except "post comment in Q&A", are of a more macroscopic nature. Everything one reads. posts, replies, comments, votes, bookmarks, could be construed as participation but isn't, why would "posting a comment" be then? It really should yield debator or authority points, nothing else.

Better Authority points because It is related to the Q/A(Which is calculating in Authority points too).
|

IMO it should be consistent with how the forums are handled.
And yes too many replies are called "general" and awarded debator points there, I have had a couple of discussions with Chris about that already. It starts with the default "message type"; it could easily be improved, it may be hard to get it (almost) right though.

Yeah it should be included in Authority points.
|
|

How can clarifying a question be an Authority Point?
Answering it, yes, but to inform that an action has been taken is participation.

Only in technical forums DD. Also I have seen many answers/links in general message, that's why.
