With regards to the "Points" are that shown under a member's ID, I've done a wee search but found no info. Can someone give me a quick explanation of what they are or how they are assigned. For the longest time I read it as Posts not Points. Then I actually started paying attention  .------------- Thank you for supporting independently produced music |

Both points total and posts total have risen by precisely TWO (so why is there a discrepancy between by points 8079 and posts 8043?) Confused and bewildered Brisbane -------------

Your points total appears to be your post count plus your "thanks" count multiplied by five plus some other count that I've yet to determine but is probably related to the number of new threads you have created since the Forum software upgrade. ------------- What? |

points only have value up to a certain number, the number of points when you can start forum topics, able to vote on polls, start your own polls etc. after that to me I have no idea that means and don't care to be honest as long as no one accuses me of not having a life and being here too long

Hello Pierangelo, Thank you for joining the community and you do bring up a frequently heard concern. As an open, internet group, we feel that it is important that new members have the ability to rate and review albums, but, as you mention, it leaves the door open for someone to try to manipulate ratings for their own purposes. Your suggestion that new members ratings get lower consideration isn't quite fair to the new members that are legitimately rating and enjoying themselves. We do however give ratings that are accompanied by a review ten times as much weight as a rating only. Furthermore, reviews by collaborators and prog reviewers (members that have been promoted based on their body of work) have twenty times the weight as a rating only. Basically, the people that do 'ratings only' still contribute to the overall rating, but not nearly as much as the ones that take the time to add a review of at least one hundred words. Finally, we have many members, collaborators and administrators that police our site and look into alleged attempts of rating manipulation. If you have a specific set of circumstances, please report it here: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=60970&PN=29 And one of the team members will look into it and determine if someone is attempting to manipulate ratings. Again, welcome to The Prog Archives and please dig around a bit, I think you'll find that we have a lot of good information and valid opinions throughout the site. ------------- -------someone please tell him to delete this line, he looks like a noob------- I don't have an unnatural obsession with Disney Princesses, I have a fourteen year old daughter and coping mechanisms. |

How about a post which answers the post, or thread, question fully? How about I get five points? How about any Mr Laz posts get five points?
