You are partially correct. If there are any posts/docs over 500 that are chosen as a winner then the update will not be considered. If we deem that there are quality docs under 500 and there are none above 500 then the update will be in effect.

While we prefer those in the 1000 and over range we do understand that it is not always possible considering what some of the questions ask, and we still want to give credit where credit is do.

Everyone including us web guys appreciate what the forum members contribute to these questions and look forward to much more.

Thanks for everything!
