When you bookmark something you are telling our system "I think this is important" and for that we give you, and the bookmarkee, points. If you change you mind and unbookmark then we remove the points since you're no longer indicating that you want to mark the item as important enough to save.
The points you earn for bookmarking are categorised as "Organiser" for a reason

I know that this is an old post, but I found it before I posted the same question (I was clearing out some old bookmarks to stuff that isn't relevant to me and I saw my rep go down)
Whilst I am happy to lose my rep points as I no longer want the link, I do think it is a bit unfair on the bookmarkee to lose the points they gained as the article may still be of worth to others.
Also if I re-upload code samples will I lose points

So what happens if someone accidentally bookmarks and then undoes that operation?
In situations like this there's the perfect-way-for-a-given-situation and there's the logical-way-that-disregards-some-edge-cases. Unfortunately the consistent, logical way usually results in less confusion and complaints.

Imagine keeping track on your points if it wasn't connected to your current bookmarks.
It would also be an extremely easy but boring way to boost your points, just add and remove 1000 bookmarks.
Be excellent to each other. And... PARTY ON, DUDES!

Not really interested in boosting for sake of boosting. All I wanted to do was weed out stuff that was not relevant anymore. For me it is being better organised that way...oh well.

Is anybody else not receiving the "Insider News"? I haven't gotten one since Friday, 6/14. My days are not the same without the news

We found the issue! We've improved (Sorry, "improved") the content filtering to ensure you only see what you're interested in and we were way too agressive with the filtering.

Think you might have to look again.
Didn't get today's mail (unless it still has to be send but normally it's in my inbox by the time I get to work (2 hours ago))

Same as Tom - no Insider News today. None since Friday.
|
|
|
|
|
Same here - today's newsletter hasn't arrived.

I cant see down/up vote feature for the post in the community, it was but i don't know what happened to that?
I search in the CP but didn't find anything related to it. Please help.
|
|
|
|
|
It's just to the left of the message. Move your mouse there and hover over the up/down arrows.
Use the best guess

Downvoting is not allowed in the Lounge, Soapbox or here.
Use the best guess

Also (to add to Richard) Downvoting is not available in either the GIT or the GCT forums.

Thanks Keith for the info 
|
|
|
|
|
Also (to add to Richard an Keith), downvoting isn't enabled in the Insider News forum, the Spam and Abuse Watch forum and the Weird & Wonderful forum.
|
|
|
|
|
As it seems down-voting is only available in Q&A section.
Thanks for the reply ProgramFOX.
|
|
|
|
|
You're welcome!
But downvoting isn't only available in the Q&A forums. It's also available in the Article Writing forum and in the discussion board of each article.
