what the hell is the admin's problem, if you write a tutorial you should be rewarded with alot more green than like 5 points. This is bogus bs. Its nearly as bad as their word spam trick.
I see your point (and really liked being a 'heavy hitter') but I think intmon's explanation to me (PM) is more logical:

Actually, we made a change on Friday that would account for that. It was done because at this point, there are many members who have been around long enough that their 'power' was easily able to overwhelm newer users. After looking the system over, as well as getting a suggestion from the site's founder, JP, we changed the system to that the power structure was more fair and realistic. Hopefully it'll work out better for everyone, and won't cause many problems.
Thanks for the note,
intmon
