I have noticed that some people start posting with 5 rep power and soem start with 1 (like me). That would explain the difference.

Hu?

Are you saying that some posters start with a rep power of five on their first post ever?

Me personally I started at 1 then went back to 0 and back to one later on.

Don't worry guys, I got a text from VinylBitch about a week ago saying that he was "considering coming back to the board". Of course he killed off his mule. We'll have BR back before you know it.

If this is true, then why do I always have to beg for a happy ending?



First, you have to be a bad ***. I'm not talking about just your run of the mill bad *** either, I'm saying Tom Selleck mixed with Brad Pitt from Troy -- with a little bit of Anthony Robbins mixed in for good measure. Then, you have to be hung like an elephant. As you can see by my enormous rep power, I clearly fit the mold.

I can vouch. He let me lift it once. Took two hands, but I was able.

??? How can someone start with 5 rep power???

I think the mods do it. I don't know if they follow some sort of guidelines that decides if rep increases, or if they increase it for you because they like you or what not.

I know a few of the mods really like me, but they're just too embarrassed to show it. Otherwise I'd be at 25 by now.

They've told me this. It's true.

I don't think any of us know the actual formula, but I do know it represents 3 things;

- Amount of time as an active member.
- Number of posts.
- Rep points.

It seems things are much more weighted to rep points than the other two items.

IMO it is way to heavily weighted for # of posts and time on the board. Guys with less bars than others have more rep power because they post all of the time. I would make rep points recieved far and away the most heavily weighted. I don't think that time on the board or # of posts should carry much power. Too me if you make posts people like that should hold far more weight for your rep power.

I think you're right and I think it does. I believe it's weighted to rep points .. tell me how many rep points you've got and I'll plug it in.
