clarifying a question?

If I was 17% ON 29/12/2014 and have increased my points all round since them including 10 best answers how can you justify going down to 16%

It does not make sense. Do others have trouble with the points system

    The percent is total best answers divided by total answers. It has nothing to do with points.

    For example if you have 100 answers and 10 are best answer. That gives you 10%.

    Now you answer 20 more and have 1 best answer. You now have 11/120 which is 9%. Everything went up but the percent went down.

    Without knowing how many points and best answers you had before and after I can not double check your percentage.
