Reputation clean-up (03/06/08 02:44)

Many of you may find that their reputation has decreased. We performed a large-scale reputation clean-up and removed (partially or completely) votes of the users from the following groups:
- members involved in group reciprocal vote exchange schemes and other kinds of fraudulent activity;
- members with obviously biased voting patterns (for example voting negatively on all good posts by some other members);
- members who's votes showed no correlation with post's content (random voting).
Please don't panic if you see that your reputation has gone down. It has affected all member accounts, so if you had the genuine reputation your decrease is less than that of members with fake reputation. Members with artificially inflated reputation will find the dramatic drop...
This work is still in progress so some additional adjustments may show up in the next several days.
