No, more like 1 point per 100 views.

Those that game the system are mostly sub-10,000 newbies and they usually lose interest pretty fast!

the same for downloads - 1 point for every thousand downloads). If that were in
affect, I'd only get 2177 points for article views, and 9 points for downloads.
I think 1 point per 100 views and maybe 1 point per download would be more equivalent (between downloads and views I mean).
And Chris stated above that most of the downloads are legitimate (and not spiders).

dan.g has over 100k downloads for his todo article. I think 1-point per is still too much.

My message was about the apparent downloading by bots and not by actual human users. I mean seriously - 33 downloads in an hour and a half? That's exactly the number of articles I've posted that have a download available. That's a bot - not a human, and THAT was what I was trying to highlight.
I'd also like to say I think 5 points for a download (given the fact that we can't verify that someone isn't gaming the system) is too much. I was thinking 1 point was adequate.

With 7.8 million users, do you seriously think that 33 downloads of ALL your posted files is a lot?

Small request Chris:
IF you do decide to add retrospective points, can they be added at the date the download was actually performed, and the rep graph be recalculated???
That would give a better picture of the development of the rep instead of one massive change on the date they are added...

Is it possible the article name can be added to the event history e.g.
Object Associated File: Some Article Name
Shown in the same way when an article is upvoted.

I suggested that last week. Chris is away, so I doubt we'll see movement until he's gotten back from vacation.

I take it that is a reference to the two knuckle scrapers above?

The article "The Basics of Task Parallelism via C#</" has a less than character in it. It has illuminated three issues regarding HTML encoding of article titles:
- The article title is not HTML encoded on the latest articles page.
- The article title is not HTML encoded in the page title of the article page (note: I mean the title between the TITLE tag in the HEAD tag).
- The article title is not HTML encoded when it is automatically inserted into a link to an article posted in a message (I had to modify the title above to HTML encode the less than character).

Random example - this[^] one has it, this[^] one doesn't - the header at the top that says
A Technical Blog article. View entire blog here.
What is needed to include that automatically?

Some blog articles have the original source URL removed so there's nothing to display.

Presenting a French ad[^] to the Dutch speaking majority in Belgium is the surest way of not getting any business here. (The link seems to be to an English page, however it appeared as a French ad and hyperlink in the main ad TRHC of CP's home page).
This has happened once before, some years ago; when I reacted all went back to English, which is way better.

This is an ad served from a third party system. I could wax lyrical about marketing people but I won't. I'll pass this on and hope for the best.

Hi
I think it is time to add "PHP" and "LAMP\WASP\WIMP\WISP" *See-Note-Below as article tags.
The CodeProject site provides article tags for all other languages and technologies (for both Microsoft and OpenSource), but not "PHP" nor "LAMP\WASP\WIMP\WISP" ?
PHP\LAMP articles are currently bunched under some very generic tag called "Web Development".
I have read the previous denials to add "PHP" nor "LAMP\WASP\WIMP\WISP" because:
- It is not Microsoft
- There are plenty of other resources outsite of CodeProject discussing PHP
Why the bias against PHP?
Believe me, PHP language has a strong presence in the Windows arena, or it would not have been included within "Microsoft Web Platform Installer 3.0".
I am requesting for these additional article tags:
- "PHP" as an "Language" Article Tag
- "LAMP" as an "Technology" Article Tag
There is not other site like CodeProject where one can post and share articles pertaining to code development. I have posted C# and C++ articles and prefer this forum for its openest and structure.
I would like to see PHP and LAMP articles be presented as an equal to all other languages and technologies as are given to C++, C#, Java, Python, Ruby, F#, JavaScript, etc..
NOTE:
LAMP - Linux Apache MySQL PHP stack
WASP - Windows Apache SQL-Server PHP stack
WIMP - Windows IIS MySQL PHP stack
WISP - Windows IIS SQL-Server PHP stack
