Why doesn't infraction lead to decreased Rep power?

[nightmare3983]

Just read this and there is an amazingly simple fix. Kelp the number below names. Let that be your "badge" of greatness.

Then make every single rep (positive or negative) worth a +1. You still get the joy of have your little number, but you aren't any better than a new poster, an awesome poster or a crappy poster.

You can positive or negative rep, the poster sees that you like/dislike their post, but their isn't this "tiered" system anymore. We are all equals, and you can really see who the best posters are, and not who the posters are that have their buddies positive rep every post they write.

Got neg'd 3 times this week by Cy. If this isn't internet bullying, I don't know what is.

Almost makes me not want to post anymore.

Am I the only one getting this or are there others as well? I'd hate to think there are others suffering the same fate.

I never get repz. I feel so out of place.

Using my avatar leads to neg rep too - weird.

You should bump your rep power up to 47 to match PKM, and then neg him. Might get his/her/it's attention more.

Holy cow, is PKM that much higher in rep power than Jason & me? Time to do some rep rebalancing, I guess.

What does the formula look like now? The older posters seem to have benefited.

I was tweaking the rep setting, then forgot what I started with. So I'm not sure how close these are to what we've been using but here are the new settings:

1 rep pt for every 100 days since registering (I believe the old value was every 130-150 days, something like that)
1 rep pt for every 5000 posts (I don't know what the old value was... perhaps every 3000-4000 posts, something like that)
1 rep pt for every 300 pts of reputation (this is lower than the old value, but I don't have a good idea of what the old value was)
