Chirag Shah

Respected Sir,
I like to know from user point of view.
i.e. on what basis points to be assigned? is there any limits on posts or points per post ?
Is points are available like "Air", "Water" or like "Money"
i.e. is it available for free without any limit like "Air" or with limit like "Water" or like we have few initial points and after consuming it we will have to earn points ?
Kindly explain the methodology.
Regards
Chirag Shah

No information under link "Forum points" anymore

Hello,
formerly I saw under the link "forum points" in the thread contribution of a SDN member, which forum items were rewarded of this author. But this isn't working anymore. Meanwhile I only see all contributions of this member. I would like to know why the functionality "Forum points" was cancelled allthough it was very interesting to know which rewarded contributions a certain author has to offer?
Regards
Martin Lehmann

If you are referring to viewing the users "contributions" when you click that link - each user has to "select" to show that in their user profile.

Forum Point Status ...

Hi Fellow ABAPers,
I have been asked to link to the Forum Points Status ... there.
In general if you would like to know what people are thinking about the activities in the forum there is always a lively discussion going on there about it.
As far as I recall this is my first and only post in the most active forum of all. I am humbled by all the knowledge that is exchanged here.
I will not open this thread to avoid having more than one discussion. If you want to post something please add it to the thread in the Coffee Corner.
All the best, Mark.

Why do paid Apple employees earn forum points & rankings?

Why do paid Apple employees earn forum points & rankings? I thought the points system was "to increase community participation". Giving points to people paid to be here and putting them in the rankings runs counter to that intent.

Hi, Jason -
No, I'm talking about the people with the silver Apple badges whose profiles say they're Apple employees.
At least some of them are paid to be in here, maybe others aren't and just come in here to be helpful on their own time, I guess I don't know. If you're paid, you don't need encouragement.
The only Apple employees who are paid to be here as their primary job function are the Hosts, the ones who display the purple apple badge.
Other Apple employees may post here. Usually it is on their own time, at which time they may or may not identify themselves as being an Apple Employee - if they do, they then display the silver apple badge.
On rare occasions Apple employees may post in an official capacity in order to address a specific need, but (historically, at least) this does not occur on a regular basis.
Yikes, I'd assume a company employee could provide useful info on the company's products. If an Apple employee doesn't give useful info...I hope that's someone who isn't working at Apple for long.
Apple has a broad and diverse enough product line that no one employee can possibly know it all.
Since most of the time a person who is identified as an Apple employee is posting on their own time, I see nothing wrong with thanking them the same way anyone else would be thanked.

Scroll Pages in TableView of Forum Points

Hey SDN Team,
I am trying to see all my posted threads under My Reward Point->Forum Points->scroll button on bottom to move pages is not active?

I remember few months back it was working fine. Is it some bug in system?
Thanks,

By doing a little investigating, I discovered that your forum points in 2006 seemed to start around 8/26/2006. It was possible to do a query for <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prteventname/htmlbevent/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.sap.sdn.folder.sdn!2fcom.sap.sdn.folder.application!2fcom.sap.sdn.folder.iviews!2fcom.sap.sdn.folder.crp!2fcom.sap.sdn.app.crp.mypoints">points in date range</a>.
It's a little tedious, but by giving date ranges you can bring up your 2006 results.

SDN Forum points break up by forum & forum categories

Hi,
Didn't find any reference to this but would it be possible to add functionlity to break up forum points by forum categories, and then by forum themselves ? (I know I could export all the contributions to Excel, filter by Area and add subtotals but...) ;)
Trying not to be too narcissist... could you add the position in each of the relevant forum... ?
Best regards,
Guillaume

Hi Guillaume,
We are not very happy on how it is displayed where your points are comming from. There is a big project in the near future to redo the Business Card and that will also bring an overhaul to this area. Your suggestion is sound and we will see what we can do then.
You need a bit of patience there, Mark.

555 forum points ...

Hi SDNers,
Just realized that I have 555 forum points.
Here an SDN Trivia question:
10 points for the one who can explain how I can have uneven number of forum points when all we are giving out are 10, 6 or 2 points?
As this is the Other SDN Qestions section this is not even off topic
All the best, Mark.

hi,
i have got 145 pts because I once got 1 point for my initial posting. this said, actually everyone who ever posted should have an odd number of forum points. I checked this and found people with an even number of points. there are two possibilities for this a) they didn't get their initial point or b) there are other ocassions where you get an odd number of extra points.
instead of receiving 10 points for this great explanation I'd prefer to get something like 3.1415926 points if possible. this would really be a unique gratification.
regards,
anton

About Forum Points

I think forum points means the points which we are getting on these forums only (if i am not wrong). But i saw some people with unmatched forum points with their posts for example for 13 total posts 230 forum points and 32 posts 486 forum points.
here are they include the articles and wiki's points also. or we can able to reduce/delete our number of posts. i noticed this in a very few members . How this came possible (for max 32*10=320 but its 486) ?
or is there any other way to change our name along with our points with 'zero' posts?
regards
Mahesh

That happens when they previously had an account with a different login-id and upon creation of a new one, requested the SCN team to "merge" both accounts. In the merging process sometimes the number of posts dont get migrated to the new one. Sometimes it does. And sometimes it takes time to do it.

You click on your own username and view your profile which will tell you how many points you have. At present it appears you don't have any.
For example, if you look at my profile...

SDN Forum points vs Sun Forum Duke Dollars

I believe that a points system is a great way to encourage participation by the community in problem solving.
With the points system in SDN, however, there is room for abuse, for example, by having people you know award points to you on threads.
I personally like the points reward system (Duke Dollars) on Sun's Developer Forums. In this scheme, you work with credits. Every user is given a certain amount of points (Duke Dollars) when they join. When you post a question, you can assign a number of Duke Dollars up front from your available credit as a reward to entice responses. You can also accumulate more Dollars by answering threads which have Dollars assigned.
Every month, Sun gives a gift to the user who has accumulated the most points.
I'm not sure that this solves the problem of users not assigning points for valid help, but, because users are working with limited credit, it does force them to be careful when assigning points, and prevents abuse as that mentioned above.
I would like to hear what other people think about this scheme. Perhaps there are aspects I have not considered.
Regards,
Martin

Would a moderator make it more positive?
Actually Craig went into each of the forums and published a "rules of engagement". Maybe that kind of a "sticky note" post would be the place to remind people about the inappropriateness of redundant questions (across various forums) and the confusion and poor sporting behavior associated with "copied" answers. I can ping Craig with that suggestion to add text if you think it makes sense to "remind" people in each of the respective forums.
Or..to be a little more provocative, we could suggest that community members who have a good track record of participation, collaboration, and exemplary attitude be given the moderator rights in forums where the activity volume might be too overwhelming for an SAP moderator alone to manage and given the rights to move content to a more appropriate thread.
This is what I meant about "self-policing". Also, perhaps the moderators (internal as well as SAP) could identify themselves in a sticky post and invite participants in those designated threads to track "abuses" or issues, thus identifying them and hopefully resolving them publically.
Strange, it reminds me that in old, Puritanical, America, of the 17th century community culprits were subjected to a public dunking or stocks when they broke the law. The purpose being that public condemnation sent a clear message to other "would be" misbehavers.... and thus deterred further bad conduct.
While a rather radical and unpleasant method it was an open way of dealing with abuses to the system.
Perhaps others can offer less extreme and more effective suggestions here

Problem with SDN's forum points

Has anybody else noticed their missing points for forum questions. I am missing all my points between 02/04/2005 - 06/04/2005.

Hi to all
Yes, it seems a general error. Hope it is something correctable.
