This is cool, but it will obviously always inflate the stats of anyone who just started posting or has been posting a lot recently.

Somebody who posted 10,000 times back when rep was like +10 points gets destroyed compared to some dork like QSH who is getting +100 each time he says something about kissing boys.

If you getting bent out of shape on ratio of newbs you can adjust backward as well. Why you all do not to prove us your superiority on LazyD?
 
Again it would be interesting to see the RP/P stat by forum. See who has the best contributions in General, Jazz Forum, etc.
 
Who does coding? We need someone to write a google analytics type of code to more accurately evaluate the rep system.

Or just adopt more of a "who cares" attitude!
 
I'm in at 5.16, basically the Hassan Whiteside of Jazzfanz. Any true advanced stats system would have to take alts into account as well. If you have a troll alt soaking up all of your neg rep, then that needs to be recognized. . .
 
I can see how the intricacies of rep can be fascinating and of a certain importance if you're posting a lot and enjoy the climb as you move up through the 30s and 40s and eventually into the 50s and 60s, where the summit finally comes into view. When you leave the 80s and hit 90 you know it's just a matter of time. Then suddenly, after the euphoria of hitting 100 fades, you realize the party's over and posting will never be quite the same. No more rocks to push up the mountain. Sisyphus knew that happiness is in the struggle, but he always had his rock and his mountain, his struggle never ended. It's much more simple for posters like myself who flounder around in the teens and will never make it out of the twenties. For us, rep is more of a curiosity. There is no rock and the mountain is a just a picture on the wall. We have to find our struggle elsewhere.

Ok here is the first of the advanced stats: **RP/P or Rep Points per Post. I did the calculation on the guys with Rep Power over 100. It is simply the total rep points divided by number of posts. In descending order of RP/P:

3.84 - QSH*
3.35 - LazyD
2.53 - Hack
2.42 - Fish
2.13 - LG98
2.11 - Spy
1.88 - StifleTower
1.47 - UGLI
1.31 - Stoked
1.25 - PKM
1.23 - OneLove

So this shows how much your posts are valued. The higher the number, the more you are contributing to the site based on reps alone.

*I added QSH in there because I saw his raw numbers and knew the resulting RP/P would be pretty high, and it was. Anyone can calculate and post their own pretty easily and see how you stack up to the guys with the highest rep power on the site.

**I would say it should probably be at least 1000 posts to really be valid, kind of like the base numbers to allow stats in the NBA. The dude who plays for 25 minutes in one game and hits 4 of 5 3's in his one shot does not win the 3 pt crown for 80% 3 pt FG %, for example.

I did my ratio, and it's about the same as your's. 2.17, but I guess it'll never stay the same day to day, because the quotient is always rising, whether the numerator gets a hit or not.

I hate neg reppers. I sorta think when you give neg rep, it should substract a hundred points from your rep store. Well you should really have a good point to make worthy of such a sacrifice. . . .


. . . . .

In addition, it would be an improvement, instead of limiting rep you can give in respect to "too much rep", to budget your rep giving to say 100 rep points per day. Sure it would make PKM squirm about who deserves his rep the most, but all the newbs could pass it out all day long.

Equal rep giving for newbs.

So anyway. . . . .


. . . . .


you should be allowed to specify how much rep when you give it. Some things might deserve 100 rep points. Some might deserve 1.

This is deeper than I expected any post in this thread to be. We need to get rid of the cap and simply change the amount of reputation received equal to an adjustment point if it is necessary to slow the growth of rep.
 
Suddenly eliminating rep right now would change the dynamic of the board imo.

what???

. . . . .

. . . . . .

A mod who doesn't care about rep?

what's this site coming to?


. . . . . .

To even come here, we have to pretend this means something. . . . .

At least, I have to tell my wife it's important. . . .
