I have two five votes for the response made here[^], yet the points for those votes aren't reflected in the Recent reputation Points list. In fact, I think this is happening in more places than the one I cited.

There are lots of daily limits, see the FAQ. They had been ignored earlier, and are taken into account now, that is why a lot of people have seen some categories go down lately. Under the new constitution, you, having posted 40+ messages today, are likely to have gotten more than "enough" up-votes. You basically have three choices now:
1.
stop participating as soon as the rewards get withheld;
2.
keep it up, however forget about the points;
3.
create one or more sock puppet accounts, and switch to the next one when reaching one of the limits; that way a whole outlaw platoon could climb the reputation ladder and go after CG and Sacha.

or 4: suggest the limits are too stringent and should be modified and help make the system more acceptable to everyone

Not quite, my actual suggestion is:
5. make those anti-gaming limits color dependent. So newbies are really limited (maybe even more than now), and high achievers are hardly curtailed.
BTW: the sad "smiley" seems to have lost its space

I tried to convey the same thing earlier[^].
Limits are too stringent and should be modified. In case needed, we can use Rep-Color for the same as Luc suggested.

I can sort of understand the desire to mitigate the effect of sock-puppet accounts, but it seems to me that you're penalizing the regular users (those of us that log on pretty much every day, and that participate on the site) to solve a wider problem. Here's an idea:
After a user earns platinum in a category, lift the limits on that category for that user. People that have platinum are generally decent users, aren't they? That would allow normal/regular users to continue earning points, and would mitigate the sock puppet accounts ability to cause havoc...

Do you really need to go all the way to platinum? Gold, or possibly even Silver should be high enough to make sock puppet accounts more trouble than they're worth.

*I* honestly think so. There are very few tangible rewards for achieving a certain status here beyond "Oh look! You're status color has changed! That's gotta mean something!"

Agree with John. There should not be an upper limit on how many answers a user can post that will fetch him rep score points.

Nish, you almost never agree with me.
Just as I was looking outside my 3rd-story window to make sure I really saw a pig fly by, I got an email weather alert about 4-foot snow drifts appearing in Hell.

I just opted out of a newsletter, and my reputation history said this:
Newsletter opt-in Participant Mailout -50
Should that say "Newsletter opt-out"? Also, under the "Item" column, I'd go with the name of the newsletter rather than the generic term "Mailout". In this case, it would be "Mobile Newsletter".

I add an "undo" note on those events. The names are taken straight from the database so a better solution is, obviously, to have descriptions for both apply and undo, but for the sake of expediency I'll take the shortcut.

Some items in our system don't yet have the ability to self describe. The rep list is acutally just a list of memberIDs, event types, and object references. Once the list is filtered and sorted, we then use reflection to created the objects referenced in the list and get them to tell us who they are and what they are called. Comments also falls into this bucket, but I'll make sure they get fixed.

Same happens with answer down-voted and the same then up-voted (and probably vice-versa). The table still shows "Answer Downvoted".
The bad part is the figure -2 has changed to 2. Should it not be a 5?

When I bookmark something (say, a forum message), it would be nice if the "bookmark" link turned into an "unbookmark" link. I have accidentally bookmarked things on several occassions and it's a pain to try and find the message I just bookmarked in "My Bookmarks".

On the 'My Bookmarks' page there is a 'Delete' option to the right of each bookmark.

That is exactly what I don't like doing. Why not improve the UI so users don't have to work as hard?

Added to the tODO (#1937). We actually have a bunch of tasks related to the bookmark system to make it more user friendly.

Bookmarks are meant to make it easier to find again what you considered worthwhile.
Yes, you are right, such actions should have an undo capability, an easy one at best. Same for voting, and maybe also for approving an article (not sure, it has some heavy consequences right now).

Hi See This Link[^],
In this post am tried to edit for formatting of Xaml code (WPF) with different options(like aspnet, xml and default tag). I failed to set formating.
Here i getting (forum message). see below code.
<ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding Path=MainCol}" >
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Id}" ></TextBlock>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Name}" ></TextBlock>
<!-- How to show Description and Amount here by looking up the Id value -->
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
Why formatting is not applied in Q & A Section.? is this bug or else(my mistake)?
Regards,
Eswar

First, you have to uncheck the Ignore HTML checkbox. Then, you have to escape the pointy brackets manually. I've already done all that for you.

I asked a stupid smart-ass question a while back and it was deleted. My Enquirer points read -1 and my questions total was 0. A while after that I asked a relatively more intelligent question and my Enquirer points read 0 and my questions total was 1. OK - great...I'm fine with this.
~~ then the Recalc process.
Now my Enquirer points = 1 and my questions total = 0. When I go to view my questions I used to be able to see the one question I posted...it is now gone...it says that I have 0 questions posted.
Chris, I just knew that I wouldn't be able to go a whole day with out complaining about something.
