I'm wondering, why in the rules for the MVP contest thats ending at the end of September, why some states aren't able to particapate in this, cause I live in NY, that means that I can't win at all.

Possibly because of laws in certain US states that makes it illegal to enter foreign lotteries/sweepstakes?
About the MVP system, I found one thing which is probably a slight error. When I log in, I see among other things: "MVPs: 11,908 | Current Rank: 6". I believe this could only be correct if my 10,000 moderator points are counted. I'm not sure if this is the "total" rank or the most active rank for the week as listed here:
http://resources.alibaba.com/user/top_rank.htm
In that list I am 44 and my mod points are not counted, as it should be.
The system as it is could be abused by people who post a lot of topics which are not very relevant or interesting just in order to get more points. And someone who posts topics asking about almost every mobile phone supplier on the site will also get a lot of points, but the people who answer them do not gain as much. Maybe the rating system could be used as well, so you still gain a small amount of points for topics and replies, but a large amount if enough people rate your topic or reply as useful.

Oh yes, stupid for forgetting that, same goes as gambling here.
FraudWatcher, in the "Top Ranking" list, that stats the member's who have earned the most MVP this week.
I also agree with you, that Value Points should be controlled a bit a later. There are a couple member's here who pretty much post in every single topic without having much help in their posts.
And also, like say if you have a topic and someone rates your topic positive, then you gain one value point and so on. If someone votes it negative then no change becomes to your Value Points.
Also, I don't think that by just making a topic you should recieve 10 points, spammers are using this to gain points easily.

The Ranking page shows the last week's MVPs per member got, and ranked this as weekly top rankings. in the thread or your personal profile, the mvp is the total you have got after becoming a communicty member.
Yes, what you raised here is right. We are going to fix this arguing problem to make our forum much better for real knowlege share and help. Still waiting for your more creative ideas before we improving.
Thanks a lot.

Replying to [JMS wei]: JMS as a moderator I see many non responsive posts. We already have the rules on the boards for policy abuse. However, if it be at all possible you could add a button to the moderator screen that would delete the points from the individual with the non responsive posts. Also there are alot of points being given to individuals who are responding to a thread and instead hit the wrong button to post. As with this forum we are in the only options that are available are preview, post, cancel. These should be the only active buttons once a member clicks the reply button in any forum.
As this was brought up by another member and its a great idea we as moderators need a way to place un-linked responses to an already open thread. This way there will be less clutter on the boards and the information being offered will flow more readily. The member who brought this to light was Rizzob.
Best regards,
Ranger

Replying to [JMS wei]: For promoting posting of better question and people replying sensibly to them (not a race to earn more MVP) we can do the following:
1. Participation is important , so addition of some value point is important. It I feel gives a certain satisfaction to the person who replys to a posting.
2. The moderator should then give some additional marks (+ or -) judging the quality of the answeres.
This way maybe some more improvement acn be made in the programme.( But I wonder , how many moderators will be required)

I also believe that moderators should have the power, to award certain member's who had posted a very good answer, and they should be rewarded an extra 10 points of so, this would increase the quality answers.

I think it would be nicer if everyone, not just moderators, could rate topics in that way. Maybe you only should need a certain amount of points (over 200 for example) to prevent people taking advantage of it. For every five good votes, you get 20 points, or something. There is already a way for moderators to recommend posts and give points, I think it's +50.

Yes, its probally best that other member's may also have some methods of being able to award an answer, besides the " Best Answer " option.
