Lost points post rejection of document

[Former Member]

Hi,

One of my documents was rejected by moderators (not sure about the reason, may be I am not able to find the relevant mail). I guess the screenshots were not visible at the time of the rejection.

I have now uploaded the document again but my reputation points have not been credited to me. Can you please let me know why the points are not being re-credited ?

Here is the link to the document for which 10 points have not been credited to me after re-upload.

Hi Chandra, Jurgen

Thanks for the reply.

@ Jurgen... I aint able to find the mail/notes which mentions the rejection notes . If it has been rejected for the reason that content is present on http://saphrqna.blogspot.de/2013_03_24_archive.html, then just a bad luck, coz I am the author of that blog (http://saphrqna.blogspot). Is there any way I can get to know the rejection comments?

If you clicked DISMISS when you received the notification, then there will be no chance to see the note anymore. Not even the moderator who rejected it can see his note made to a rejection.

To support what says, if you are the author of the other blog, I recommend including that in your document - otherwise moderators will see a copy and paste.

You could simply add at the end a note that says "this is cross-posted from http://saphrqna.blogspot"

It was released and thanks for adding the note about it being an authorized re-posting: this is incredibly important for notifying moderators that this is a legitimate copy and also external considerations: there are potential penalties by search engines for having duplicate content on a site.

Thanks Jason. Point noted. However, I have not got back the lost points. Can you please confirm when will the points be credited to me for the release of this document ? Thank you.

I see it on your points history: http://scn.sap.com/reputation.jspa?username=neha_chopra&viewID=history (Look past a few recent entries).

Actually, I was wrong: the points were not restored. I thought editing and then republishing would help but it didn't. Let's call and to determine why the points on your document weren't restored after the abuse report rejection was reversed.

Tx Jason for your help. Will await response from Laure and Sean.

Meanwhile, can you pls share what changes did you make to document ? I aint able to compare the versions coz of restrictions - "the document body was too large to do a version comparison"

I removed the word "Introduction" at the beginning: it's redundant given a document always starts with a an intro or overview, and negatively affects SEO.

Thanks Jason for clarifying..
