So I have been trying to understand the craze about reputation points and stumbled across this profile.
http://www.codeproject.com/Members/chakkaradeepcc[^].
A relative unknown, he managed to get 126,559 rep points (just 7 articles and 15 messages). Something does not seem right.

I think this is due to download points given; See his article on SAPI got downloaded like 27K times.

Sorry! I did not notice that!

As part of a new category of reputation points, you get 1 reputation point for every reputation point gained beyond the normal 7 reputation categories. Once you find a way to get that first extra point, it's clear sailing from then on.

Looks like some repeated events (eg a download) that has generated repeated rep points instead of those points being capped at the first download. We're on it.

Chris,
His graph shows the actual points as 4,454.

sounds like he exploited a glitch in the system... is there points for that?
|
|

Yeah - temporary ones!

Check his rep graph. You will come to know about the bug.

Check out the forum at the bottom of JavaScript For Beginners. At first, it appears to have 5 messages. However, once I expand this message, it shows 50 or so messages. Same on Chrome, FF, and IE8.

Thanks - all fixed.

...for dedicated iOS, WP7, BlackBerry and Android forums? The existing catch-all Mobile forum reminds me of CP in its infancy[^].
Note, this is a purely selfish request. (I currently get my Android fix at StackOverflow).

So what's better: a dedicated forum, or simply hanging out in Quick Answers and giving the Android [^]tag a run for it's money?

Tags are more "efficient" but I believe a dedicated forum will have more appeal to end users. It's more efficient (imho) to visit a dedicated forum than scan a bunch of posts for relevance. That being said, I think it's fair to expect the number of posts in non-.NET forums to be low unless CP chooses to actively attract developers of other platforms. That's a decision you and DC are prolly best equipped to make.
I find StackOverflow appealing for 2 reasons: (a) less "fluff" (no VB-haters or juvenile anti-posts) and (b) platform agnostic. Lately, Google's been finding more relevant answers to programming questions on SO than CP. It didn't used to be that way.

Fix one bug[^] create another I guess.

at the bottom it says "closed because the post is not ...", I'm not sure what that means, but it probably won't become publicly visible as is.

This tip/trick has 2 alternates that are in pending status. It seems that one alternate is a duplicate of the other (at least, it's the same idea but with slightly different code). I wanted to report one as a duplicate, but I don't see that option. I see there is a "plagiarized" option, but I don't think it is plagiarism, as I'm guessing the second poster couldn't see the first alternate while it was in pending status.

I don't think it makes sense to report one or the other simply because tbey are very similar solutions arrived at by different people.
