Old Members Points Not Accurate
I might be mistaken but I think my points are not accurate compared to the amount of challenges I have completed. I have been a member for a few years now, during which the site has changed a decent amount. I think the scores didn’t get converted over. My score says I have somewhere around 3,000 points but I have the gold medal saying I have acheived over 5,000 points. I assume that if this is and issue for me, then it is an issue for other older members as well.
“If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.”
I think it’s more than that. It also says I’m only 27% complete with the challenges and thats no where close to being correct.
“If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.”
It’s note 27% of Challenge, it’s 27% of all the maxi of point on Hackthis!!
HT!! has something like 12200 point in total

I’ve counted all level’s and Medal’s point :
9860 points for Challenges
1825 points for Medals
11685 in Total
So if we do :
27 x 11685 / 100 = 3154.95
So 27% is equal to 3155 point on Hackthis!! :)

Yes dloser, I think too now there is a problem, look at flabby points, I don’t understand what you and he do to have more points than there is there lol

Well, that part is probably an error on your side in calculating the totals. The WeChall API is pretty accurate because it recalculates the values on each request, while user scores on this site are not calculated every time (only updated on changes).
Somewhere along the line dalou’s (and others'?) score got skewed and @flabbyrabbit will probably have to force a recalculation of those values in the database.
B.t.w., in case that confused you, my score seems fine. The 10635 from the API is for challenges only. That plus the 1225 for my medals is indeed 11860.
The combined max should be 12460, according to the API and the medal page. So flabby’s 12908 is indeed a bit high, especially because he has one missing badge and one missing challenge. That dirty stinky hacking piece of scum! ;)

There were several retired challenges on HackThis!! before. I believe @flabbyrabbit was too lazy to reset his score. :p
But @dalou’s case is correct. His points somehow stopped increasing somewhere.
I am lazy, but not that lazy :p I have no idea how his points have reverted back a few thousands points. I have double checked @dloser’s calculations, which of course are entirely correct and have updated @dalou’s profile (and my own).
Next step will be to try and optimize and score calculator and run it across the whole database and see how wide spread the problem is.
