Rep Power

tonymcclellan said:
I dont get it. Everyone is saying that we should eliminate rep because its evil. Then we (well I) do some adjustments and everyone gets upset because their rep gets lower.

Heres what I did:

Changed the 1 rep power gained for every 150 days member to 180.
" for every 25 posts to 125.
" for every 100 rep points to 300.
Lowered the rep spread requirement from 3 to 1.

We also changed the level of point requirements awhile back, but the green bar is unaffected for some reason. Do you want your 300 odd rep power back?

I don't think it's the same people complaining both ways.

It didn't go down the same % for every person like everyone is saying, the whole formula changed.
I liked it better the other way, but I won't cry too hard I guess:bncry:

And, for what its worth, the rep spread isnt comparably the same.

For example: Phate had higher rep points then Karks, but now Karks is higher then Phate as is Lei........again, for what its worth.

If one wants to see a rep system out of control, venture over to the Weight loss forum. Reps in the thousands......LOL. Seems the members there are okay with it as far as I know. :p

For example: Steve (Stoutman) with over 100,000 rep points, lol. (not manipulated by a mod, normal use)



Best wishes,

Yeah, I didn't want to sound like too much of a crybaby, but there are people who had less than me who now have more and vice versa.


I don't understand how the numbers being high meant things were "out of control" what problem did this cause?

There was a 17% change in how days of membership equated to rep power
80% change in how post count "
66% in how points "

It seems the people who have benefited the most are long time members who don't post much

Gooch, who cares if one thinks you are a cry baby. If you know what your true motives are then why would it matter if someone thinks to the contrary.

I know what my internal motives are and its the general good of the forum, and if someone else thinks to the contrary, that is there problem. This isnt a self serving motive contrary to some opinion.

ROCK ON!


Best regards,
 
OK, I admit it, I do want to be a crybaby!;)

I just think it's fun to keep track of rep points and when the whole system is thrown off kilter it's upsetting.

Yep. There was nothing wrong with rep going so high, every other forum was like that

and yea, everyone does not still have the same rep because some people that were lower than others are now higher.
 
blah. Mine fails. As does my inactivity on this forum.

some people have to lie awake at night feeling their inferiority right between their legs.
 
I had all this rep, finally felt like I belonged and you go and destroy it.

thanks a lot ;)
