Something Fishy with SW Points

scottalanmiller

So I have pretty good record keeping on points on SW. Mostly because I have automated scripts that pick up the daily points so I can go back in time to any day and look up what my, or a lot of other peoples', points were on a certain day. Not very excited and it just gets sent out as email every day and kept as reference. I don't normally look at it but today I did and realized something - even though I was active all day, was a top posters all day long, did a few reviews (four or five), was on all kinds of new threads.... I lost points. That's right, I decreased by point count by about 110. It should have increased by something like 200-800 points.

I've been wondering about a number of the statistics that I've seen over there recently. Even when I'm the only person on and posting, very clearly the most active person on a given day, I never make the top list anymore. Some days I'm obviously not the top poster, but when I know I've been outposting everyone else, I'm still not on the top posters list.

Something very fishy going on.

When they remove dumb reviews you loose points.

Yes, I know. But they only removed one, not twenty or so.

Since you have points history, any way to approximate the time I reach PC?

I thought you didn't care about the point system?

@Bill-Kindle I told you last July/August (I think about then) or around then, it was 15-18 months, by my calculations. I expect you'll hit it between November of this year and Feb/March of next year.

I don't, I'm just interested in the projection based on current data.

I can estimate that. I'll try to take a look.
