Is it possible to add some points for login activity to a user account?.

Tue, 29 Apr 2025 18:11:13 +0000

We want to do a poll on our site: https://gateoverflow.in/ , in which we want our active users to take part. We thought of allowing those users to participate in the poll who have 'x' number of minimum points (for example, 500) and there are many ways to accumulate these points such as by asking a question, giving answers, by performing editing tasks. For users who are active in content viewing on the site, Is it possible to give some points to such users based on their login activity/ visits on the site? or if i can say like this can we have an option to give some points to users for visits every day?.

Building a better, trackable Point System for q2a

Wed, 27 Jun 2018 13:22:54 +0000

To understand how Stackoverflow can calculate points so accurately, I asked them: https://meta.stackoverflow.com/q/370194/1066234

They store votes and other point events per day. And they cannot be changed in the future!!

That means, the "points recalculation" of q2a is messing up all user points as soon as something has been changed (changed points, deleted posts, new upvotes etc.).

If we could track all point events per day, then I could improve the best-user-per-month plugin a lot, so intervals could be self-defined, i. e. weekly and daily!

This is how Stackoverflow stores/tracks the reputation points:

total votes: 787
 2   9605154 (5)
-- 2012-03-07 rep +5    = 6         
 2  10531683 (5)
-- 2012-05-10 rep +5    = 11        
 1  11085525 (2)
-- 2012-06-18 rep +2    = 13        
 1  11178723 (2)
 2  11178599 (5)
-- 2012-06-24 rep +7    = 20        
 2  11178599 (5)
-- 2012-07-21 rep +5    = 25        
-- 2012-08-22 rep 0     = 25        
-- 2012-08-26 rep 0     = 25        
-- 2012-09-07 rep 0     = 25        
 1  12415046 (2)
 1  12420385 (2)
-- 2012-09-14 rep +4    = 29        
 2  12412388 (5)
-- 2012-09-15 rep +5    = 34      
...

Check your own (if you are member there): https://stackoverflow.com/reputation

I also see that with Q2A you can get points for posting, but not at Stackoverflow.

For Q2A we need to get those basic point events with the specific day they happened:

- Q/A posted (in table qa_posts, field created)
- Upvote/Downvote for Q/A (in table qa_uservotes, field votecreated or voteupdated)
- Select Best answer (in ? qa_eventlog ?)
- Answer as best selected (in ? qa_eventlog ?)

Problem: The select events are to be found in /db/points.php with function qa_db_points_update_ifuser($userid, $columns) which does not save the single data but only updates the count in qa_userpoints.

Anyone?

I now understand how Stackoverflow is doing it:

"Any deductions aren't made retrospectively" – ... if posts from the past are deleted, they are not changed in the past, but instead will trigger minuspoints for the current day!

Is it possible for the reputation points associated with a question to be neutralized when a question is closed?

Is also it possible to neutralize only points the person asking the question obtained through that question (and not points people answering the question obtained through that questions)?

Easy way to replace commas by dots?

Mon, 02 Sep 2013 18:22:56 +0000

In some languages the number separator is a dot instead of a comma, which means 17,000 is actually written as 17.000.

Is there an easy way to replace all commas by dots in counters such as views and user points?
