I can justify 300 points
Sign up: 100
Newsletter sign in: 50 X 4 (newsletters) = 200
The other 100 is a mystery to me as well

+1 for logging in......

Yeah but since he has been a member for less than 1 month he can't get 100 points for that.
Since you can only get 1 point per day for logging in that means a maximum of 31 points
so still 400-331= 69 points unaccounted for

The account looked like it was one day old to me, so literally +1!

The member opted into to 6 news letters.
|
|
|
|
|
6 Newsletters what are they, I only have 4 available Offers, Feedback, Newsletter and The Insider what are the other 2.
|
|
|
|
|
Perhaps opting out of a newsletter and opting back in further increases points? If so, I'm gonna opt into about 5,000 newsletters when I get home.
|
|
|
|
|
You know I was wondering if that would work, turns out it doesn't.
|
|
|
|
|
So this table[^] is wrong as it doesn't mention any such limit?
|
|
|
|
|
Try it, unsubscribe then re-subscribe to a newsletter and see what happens.
Also what are the 6 newsletters that Thiru mentioned as under my settings I only see 4.
|
|
|
|
|
no points & no idea.
|
|
|
|
|
Opting in to a newsletter gets you 50 points. Opting out gets you -50. If we, in the future, were to create 20 new newsletters you could get up to 1200 points.
|
|
|
|
|
I found 7 types of newsletters one can subscribe to....
AdOps Newsletter - An occasional newsletter to our advertisers and sponsors
CodeProject Offers - Occasional offers for CodeProject members
Feedback - Occasional requests for feedback on new CodeProject features
High Achievers - The highest achieving members on CodeProject.com
Newsletter - Weekly Newsletter with new articles and updates
The Insider - Daily Industry and Insider news to keep you up to date
Custom Mailout - A custom mailout to an ad-hoc list of members
I wonder how many a new user can subscribe to? Are some of these news letters based on rep?
Anyone have any clue?

There are 4 publicly visible newsletters. The others are only visible to admin and staff.

Then how can a new member opt into one of them?
If only 4 are publicly visible that should mean one can get a maximum of 200 points for opting into newsletters.
|
|
|
|
|
Possibly by staff or admin opting in on the member's behalf.
|
|
|
|
|
Opt me in on a couple hundred then
|
|
|
|
|
I'll keep you in mind
|
|
|
|
|
Then perhaps those news letters should not give any points since they're not granted by anything the recipient did.
3x12=36
2x12=24
1x12=12
0x12=18

That are you willing to receive (and presumably review) content from Code Project seems worth a few reputation points.

Hi Codeprojecters!
I wondered from time to time too, how can new users get such a high participant rating? As others said, signing up 100, newsletters (50 x 4) 200, which makes a total of at least 300. Without really doing anything other then registering a membership account. Sorry if that has been discussed elsewhere, I would like to suggest a slightly more balanced participant rating system[^]:
Newsletters should count much less (e.g. 10) and participant-type bronze is adjusted (e.g. 200).
Happy Easter if you celebrate it

I mostly visit the same set of 4-5 forums every day. It would be nice if I could create a custom list of these forums (and Groups) and see them in a box on the left side menu for easy and quick access; perhaps just above 'General Programming'.

Now let me see - 4 commonly visited forums - C# / Site Bugs / The Lounge / Soap Box.
C# - Goto Message Boards -> C#
Site Bugs- Goto Message Boards -> Site Bugs
The Lounge - Goto Message Boards -> The Lounge
Soap Box - Goto Message Boards -> Soap Box
That aint' good enough?
Ok. More seriously, it's a suggestion worth considering - we could use a dropdown just like the one that classifies an article or our newsletter options to choose our forums, save them and then have a "shortcut" menu somewhere on the left.
