It's actually 10% larger. Well spotted - I'll have this fixed next upload.

That was quick!

Great feature!
What's about past downloads?

I think that's a record for TimeSpan(DateNoticed - DateReleased).Milliseconds
I'll be writing up the adventure on this later. We have good stats up until Dec 2008, then half of the stats until Dec '10, then no stats between Jan and Today, 2011. This is just a side effect of the way IIS logs redirected requests and we are extremely frustrated by the whole thing.
However, give us a few days and we'll release the rest of what we have plus pictures.

Just had -20 points hit in Organizer category and I'm curious to know what can cause the points to go down (there's no minus points mentioned in the Member Reputation System)? Just a wild guess, could it be that when an object (article in this case) is deleted the points given from reporting it are actually lost?

AFAIK rep points (for voting, for bookmarking, etc) are revoked when the object they were connected to gets deleted somehow.
There is some logic in that, except when "voting for removal" gets awarded, as either the object will be removed (no net points earned), or it will not be removed because an insufficient number of people agree with removal, in which case the organizing member does get to keep his points (for being wrong)!
[ADDED]
PS: the FAQ does not state "Points are weighted by voting member's level." for any of its org components, so it really is a mystery to me how you could gain or loose 20 org points in one operation.

This makes sense

I think this is exactly the case. Reported 4 articles as plagiarized, got +20, they were deleted, -20. I agree that if voting for removal gives +5 points and then the article is published, I'd gladly take the -5 hit. But as you said when the article is deleted it would make sense if the points were kept.
Well, have to admit that the logic in what happened is still solid: 5 * (4 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1) == 0

Ah, I see, you actually successfully reported 4 articles, you didn't mention that before.
Yeah, you should expect zero appreciation in the current system.
If you want to earn removal points, you should vote-for-removal on the highest quality items, those that aren't going to go away.

You're right, that info was missing from the first post.

Incorrect. There was a bug which has been fixed.
You report, you get points, and you get to keep the points.

I can only describe what I learn from reading the FAQ and observing the system. And as Mika pointed out, it was a bit weird.
IMO when people help in improving the site's content, they should get the points, and get to keep them.
I now understand you see it that way too, and have fixed a bug.
I think you should mention it explicitly in the FAQ when points are conditional, i.e. when points (voting points, bookmarking points, ...) get removed once the related item gets removed; similar to you mentioning the vote weighting wherever it applies.

When an article is removed then all events associated with it go as well. The exception are reporting points, which should remain regardless of the status of the article.
There was a bug with this that I've just fixed.

Great thanks! Should the reduced points have been returned? Seems that it didn't happen.

They will next time we do a full points recalc (maybe next weekend if things go well hardware-wise tomorrow with us). The great thing with our rep system is we can recreate from scratch so if there is a bug, the wrong value entered somewhere, or we add new rep types then we can retro actively correct them.

Will you be adding author points for downloads, now that those counts are visible?

you could get over 17K points overnight.

Back my play, and I'll slip you 100 points.

I did, didn't you notice my other message below in this thread?
Eventually we want points for each and every key press and mouse click...
