I believe this has been suggested before and it would bring on too much load for the servers. Wait and see what Chris has to say about it. He'd know better than anyone if this would be viable or not.

We're keeping it at 50 messages to ensure DB load is manageable

Would it be possible to allow the 100, but throttle the rate the user receives the 100? Just a thought.

Would it be possible to allow it only for some selected users who are kind to hamsters ?

Every so often I come across extra long code snippets in articles that are collapsible, the overall feature is great but the text notation needs to be fixed.
Currently the function says:
"Collapse" or "Expand Code Snippet"
Shouldn't the function say:
"Collapse Code Snippet" or "Expand Code Snippet"
May add a little repetitiveness, but at least it would be consistent repetitiveness.

I think it will be a good idea to show the total votes a person got under the Messages posted page of each person.
I dont know how you decide a person to be code project MVP. I guess its based on the votes he got. How ever, If you show the base line for this and by how much we are lagging, it will be helpful.

I heard something about it in the past, but not in detail. Heavily guarded secret by well armed CP hamsters who don't allow this to be known

If they did that though people might start abusing this, such as voting others down to help reduce the competition.

So do CP have a restriction in number of MVPS's ? I though all qualified persons will pass.
Also almost all the senior members in a forums are friends. So this type of abusing will be less ( There may be exceptions ). Also how much impact a down vote does on a persons scrore is unknow. What if they are not even considering down votes in this process.

I don't know how it works. It just sounds like the system could be abused if MVP selection is based on total votes and everyone knows their total number of votes.

I am sure their is an initial formula for getting the finalists, but Chris (and other CP admins) have the final say in the matters.

There supposedly is more to it than just the number of votes. Has something to do with article count as well.

Not true. Most of us know each other through the forums only, and have never actually met. There are quite a few online friendships, but these go well beyond the MVPs. MVP status is usually awarded based on how much help you give, not how well we know Chris & co. - so, if you want to be an MVP take the time to help people in the different forums. Write some articles, but don't expect to become an MVP quickly - it takes time and dedication.
