IMO there's no need to do anything fancy here, straight lines from each point to the next is good enough. Reputation doesn't need smoothing.
I once read it was going to go up as well as down, however I haven't seen that explained in any detail. I personally am in favor of a natural decay, say 2%/month, so someone becoming inactive gradually looses points.
A monthly -2% corresponds to a half-life time of 3 years.

I agree (hence the smiley). Who gives a hamster's ass about the shape of reputation curves?
There are much more important things to get worked up about, such as the-feature-that-shall-not-be-mentioned.

Hi Chris,
Just a little suggestion from me.
I think it is good to have Email Notification on Replies to answers in quick answer section. I always see my mailbox regarding replies to answers.
Also just like message boards, It is good to have Replies to every answers posted, rather than the whole post.
As I always see my mailbox for replies to my answers, it is hard to find them for Quick answers section.

Not sure what you mean by 'replies to answers'. In the Quick Ansers system you are either posting a question, or posting a reply to that question. There's no ability to post a reply to an answer.
Can you please clarify?

Probably the messageboard at the bottom.

I think he means that when a message is posted in the Quick Answers section you do not receive an email copy like you do in the main forums, thereby alerting you to the fact. I think this is one of the main problems with QA in that if the OP asks for clarification of your answer you don't know he has done so.

Yes chris,
As Richard mentioned, I think it is better to have a message board under each answer, rather than to have it for the whole topic at the bottom.
No one (including the author of the question) generally knows there is a message board at the bottom and replies as answers. This way, even though there is a discussion around a topic... it creates multiple answers for the question.
I think this would be nice to have a reply at the bottom of each answers and that will also notify the person to whom it is replied (Just like the Message Board section). This way, we can have more clear posts to the Quick answer section.

We do plan on having a message board attached to each answer (in addition to the question) exactly as you suggest Abhishek. It's in our todo but not currently one of the top priorites.

This is superb...
Cheers...

this article could use a little adjustment
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/system/Cleanup_API.aspx
lots of � in there
(link not adjusted so you can see that the pasting a link into the editor not always get formated automatically)
|

We'll definitely take care of it.
For the future, there's a 'report article' link on each article (at the top) that allows you to report articles that need attention.

These strange symbols seem to occur on a regular base. Wouldn't it be good to explain to all what we are doing wrong, and/or to prevent us from doing it ever again, and/or to fix the bug that leads up to it (whatever applies), so we get this eradicated?

I'd have to disagree. The post isn't trying to sell anything, though it is interesting (though mostly crap) reading.

Sorry about that, didn't check the link but the title of the thread flagged it for me.

It stink's of SEO optimization scamming to me, although it's unlikely the account was created solely for that purpose...

Nothing wrong there, Chris has reached the ultimate level of greatness and there for now counts as 4 site builders, 4 editors, 4 staff members, 4 sys admins, but apparently only 1 mentor (guess he still has some learning to do in that apartment )
