Apparantly yes (at least now). Just a missing control.

I'm fairly sure it was me who just uploaded the missing control file 2 minutes ago (the original issue was because that file was missing, and in the upgrade last night that file - due to an incorrect datestamp - was missing again - so I manually uploaded)

All should be good then.
BTW: is that graph also going to be O'Silverlighted?

It has been pointed out that when I upvote someone in the lounge they are getting +20 points from me.
Surely as a Platinum it should be +40?
Am I not understanding the weighting properly or is there a problem?

Just imagine the points to be age and all will be sweet.

the FAQ says 5 points (Authority in programming forum, Debator in general forum) and "Points are weighted by voting member's level". It does not specify what voter's rep category matters. If you were sevenfold platinum, I'd guess you would be right. But you are not, we don't have all-platinum people yet, and we aren't going to get some any time soon, as those high authority people seem to also be notoriously poor enquirers.
You may be on to something; so if you could upvote this message[^], then I'll report back to you.

Yep - I'm sure the number of rep points you have is a deciding factor in how much weight your vote carries. For instance, a vote of 5 from me for an article earns the author 80 points. I'm sure Dave's vote (even if he was just barely a platinum Author), would count for less than my vote. I'm sure Sacha's vote would count for more than mine since he has SIGNIFICANTLY more Author points than I do.

Of course it is, we all know the principles; however I'm a little unsure about the details (which you carefully avoided). The main point that still needs clarification in the FAQ is which rep category is relevant for weighing the votes.
Examples:
1.
voting for an article may take the voter's author color, IMO it could as well take the higher of his author and authority color, as one does not need to write many articles to recognize an excellent one, some authority could suffice.
2.
voting on a forum message that has "answer" as message type, I would hope it takes the voter's authority into account; however if it was added with "general" type (the unfortunate default for nested replies), does it factor in "debator" color? Since debator color can be earned in very non-technical ways, that would be wrong IMO.

Hi Nish, how are you doing?
You should take care of that nasty cough of yours, doesn't sound good at all.
And maybe start asking some interesting questions in the forums, your enquirership is pretty pale.

unfortunately for you, the "question" type doesn't work in non-programming forums, the above has yielded a mere debator point.

Not good enough. Nowhere near platinum standards actually.

You're not all-platinum. You're enquirer score is so low, it almost doesn't even deserve a box.

Your enquirer score is so low, 500 of them would fit on the point of a pin with room to spare.

The Member Reputation System page says that there is a limit on the number of times an event can occur, but it doesn't seem to be working:
This guy[^] joined today, and out of three messages has achieved -89 debator points.
Apart from being quite a "good" start to his time here, the MRS page says that message downvote only carries a 2 point penalty, and can only occur 25 times a day. -2 * 25 = -50, according to my abacus!
[edit]Make that -117![/edit]
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

I do believe there is a voting algorithm that is used - this is based on weightage / vote membership type of calculation.
See how ratings are calculated here[^].
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

If the like of I or POH down vote him it is -10 or -16 or so.
Our weighting is heavier.
Similarly, If I up vote you, you would get about 40 points.
