Reputation Comments, positive and negative

[colton]

I just don't understand the correlation/formula of # of posts, # of rep points, to Rep Power. Not that I care .. but it seems a bit more complex than I would have thought.

For example, I assumed that a small number of posts, coupled with high rep points, would equal highest possible rep power. However, I have nearly triple your post count, have slightly fewer rep points (2,815), yet have a higher Rep Power. Confused ... must be the software's ability to judge 'quality of content.'

It's #posts + #rep points + #days since you created your account, each with its own weighting factor. You neglected to consider the third item.

Thanks for the info. This makes sense.

So, some have suggested they believe the # of posts can negatively impact Rep Power .. I always assumed that would be incorrect because it would be counter-intuitive for Jason to give incentive (in any fashion) that would reward members for not posting.

I think its based on how much fiction you bring to the table.

For example: The more PKM makes up trade rumors, the more rep points he gets

How does reputation work? Do you only get reputation by others, or do you earn it by posting. Is there a purpose to reputation?

Its purpose is the same as life. You'll have to read the other thread to find out what that is.

So if I had registered in 2010 instead of being a lurker, I would have at least 4-5 rep power?

Yeah,that's what I did. I Registered and then I lurked. I think I registered after the first board crashed, and then I was too lazy to post anything.

I get more Rep Power for every post that bluesywussy stalks/hates on me. I can just kick back and rack'm in.

Keep up that hatin' RuesBlocker.

4245. If not for idiots that don't understand why the Utes and C.J. Miles are the scourge of the seven seas, I'd be over 10k.

Also, how do I take a screenshot of my rep page? There are some winners in there, even w/out the "paint" photoshop.

Just hit the "Print Screen" button. Then paste it into the paint.

You are correct in thinking that that's incorrect.
