Yeah, I decreased the effect of post count. I increased the effect of time-since-registering (which helps older posters). And I increased the effect of overall reputation.
Why doesn't infraction lead to decreased Rep power?

Boo! So much for ever catching anyone that's ahead of me. FYI, the last settings I was aware of were:
1 rep power point for every 141 days and 2500 posts. I don't remember the reputation though.
Can we start out at zero again? I think it helps with newer posters feeling more empowered/less marginalized due to a stupid e-score. Same Batman and Robin will end up on top again in a few short months anyway.

What would that make me if I'm a few rungs below Batman and Robin?

That works.
I don't know how to do that, sorry.
The major factor is your own # of reputation points. (That's different than rep power.) You can still catch people by getting lots of rep points.
It'll take even longer now is all I'm saying since most of the people with more rep power got points added while I stayed the same. But I'm persistent in the pursuit of pointless acheivements, so it's all good.
Can't you do it manually? I'll be the first volunteer.
UGLI baby

If you just take away the part of the formula where you get rewarded for how long you've been a member, it'll give new members the chance to catch up if they are worthy.
If you think about it, the system as it stands is very similar to the Jazz. Blindly rewarding the veterans...
I think the rep system should just be based 100% on how many rep points you've received, giving no weight to the amount of time youve been a member, or how many posts you have.
It's a little hard for me to see how anything else makes sense to be honest.

Neg rep doesn't make sense to me - because if a comment is bad enough to be an infraction then the mods can deal with it anyway. Furthermore, neg rep can lead to posters abusing that power in a negative way, and there's nothing the mods can do because it's not against the rule to simply neg rep someone. This loophole should be closed.
Pos rep is good. Neg rep should be abolish IMO.
