AFAIK enquirer status isn't used anywhere, except for showing it amongst all statuses.
This has been my major remark about the whole reputation thing: there is an extensive FAQ explaining what goes in, and nothing about what comes out, where and how it gets used. And now it shows that a couple of things are failing, as suddenly reputable people can't edit questions any more, etc.

Thanks
1. That information might be added to the rep FAQ.
2. It will be confusing people unless stated explicitly. Example[^].

sign-up ==> 100 points ==> bronze
weekend ==> recalculation ==> rep gone

Are you talking about a specific account? Sorry Luc, but it's been a big week and I can't seem to grasp the specifics of your bug report.
I'm currently recalculating reputatation. It will take another 3 or so hours to complete. If you're still seeing the issue after that then we have a problem and we'll fix it.cheers,

any one signing up gets 100 participation points, which makes him bronze right away. Is that what you intend to happen?

OK, bit strange IMO, but OK.

I once got a medal for 64th place in a 5K with about 100 people... wouldn't want to leave anybody out!

All participants in CodeProject and Paralympics get a medal. 
I hope that is a coincidence...

Kind of makes sense when you take into account that people can lose reputation too.
If they don't respect the site, or post rubbish, they will soon lose their free Bronze and will have to go about earning it back, and even a brand new member will have a better status/rep than them - sounds good to me!Dave

I get this error message when trying to update my article.
Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.. Ticket: 2148240. Server: Web16

The error seems to be transient. The article is now correctly editable.

Looking at the Reputation FAQ it only makes reference to votes.
Is 'Report' activities taken into consideration under the organiser system? If not, can it be? Reporting bad messages/questions/answers/articles are all important to maintaining the high standard of the site.

Reputation System, is now in Beta mode only, Hope many more to come.

| Yes, we can certainly add it. cheers,

Cheers,
The reporter should get +points for reporting something that is acted on by the staff/admins.
However they should get -points for something that is not deemed reportable (i.e. within the rules of the site/forum) and no action is taken. This is to stop somebody just reporting everything they see out of spite.
[Edit: Can anything that has been 'Report'ed be flagged someway, e.g. text added next to the 'Report' link to say 'This item has been reported and is queued for review'.]

I'm not exactly sure what this would look like, but I'd like to see an area on CP that would allow people to find each other to collaborate on work.
I've done quite a bit of work on a charting library (based off of zedgraph), and would like to collaborate with someone who has a lot of experience with statistical analysis (i.e. linear regression, correlation, etc). My end goal would be to use my innovations with usability, and the experience of someone with a math background to make sure I'm properly preparing the data. At the end, we both benefit from the shared code ... and perhaps write an article together.
Thoughts?

| We've been thinking about that for years and have a few ideas (turn articles into projects, our membership group system, adding an issue tracker) but I'd like to hear what features you feel would be the minimum to get you up and running. Once we have something you can use then we'll refine and add more features. cheers,

Chris, thanks for replying to this. I hadn't noticed the Collaboration/Beta Testers section before. Looks like that forum could be a segway into a full fledged collaborative environment.
Anyway, here are a few random thoughts about development collaboration:
- A source code repository would be crucial. (think sourceforge).
- The person who started the project would be the 'owner', and responsible for granting access to the
project to other. (May also designate another user as an 'admin')
- I think it would be appropriate that CP members would be able to read the repository, but only authorized users could modify the repository.
- I'd like to see somekind of 'CP Ranking' to be enforced on allowing a CP member to create a collaboration project. (Gold member or something ... wait, am I gold? Yes, ok that's fine)
- Perhaps require that an article is written within (?? months) of creating a collaboration project. This would help you ensure that people aren't using your resources to host their own work, and help motivate them to get the work done. Some projects would be larger than others, but I think for the type of collaboration I'm interested in, max project length would be 1 month.
- Make is easy for collaboration members to share contact info (securely) with each other, so IM and/or phone calls could be exchanged as necessary.
- A message board, unique to the project, so that general questions can be asked, responded to, and not mixed with other areas of the web site.
I guess all in all, this is kind of 'SourceForgey', but to enable this to be done within codeproject would be fantastic.
If I have any other thoughts on this, I'll post. Likewise, if you have any questions/comments/feedback just let me know.
-- one other thing. As specific needs/expertise are needed on the project, allow some kind of 'Current Project Needs' section, that could be viewed for a single project, or all projects ... so CP members could check it out, and see if there's anything they could contribute on.
-- it would also be cool to allow collaborating members to rank the contribution of others.
