Points change

I seem to have lost a lot of points overnight. Did the formula change for power point calculations?

Reviews are way more credible here on SP than most online reviews that you read. Many of them are seemingly either written by an employee if the manufacturer or a competitor.
A decrease of 200 fold seems pretty severe considering the amount of time I spent on the gear reviews. It takes time to write up a good page. Is it the same point award for a gear page as it is for a gear review?? If so, then you're undervaluing gear pages.
Is there any reason to look further for the points decline?
If gear reviews have no value then why have them at all?

I wasn't keeping track of my contents, so I'm not sure what I may have lost.

As mentioned above, almost everyone's points went way down and we are looking into it.
Why do you think there is any more to it than that?
BTW, there's a difference between a Gear Page and a Gear Review. Are they weighted the same?
