Why doesn't infraction lead to decreased Rep power?

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

What would you like to do with my attention once it's received?

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

Or you could just post better?

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)

Let me preface with I don't care how the formulas are set.
Having said that, if I owned the site I would do it EXACTLY the opposite. From a business perspective the formulas seem dumb.
I would give the most rep power for posts, the second most for rep points, and the least for time served. The reason is you want to reward site members for visiting frequently, turning over pages, and creating maximum site activity. Rep points and time served does neither of these directly. Though rep points does indirectly because of a, presumably, better site content.

Would truly enjoy Admin response to this.. just out of curiosity.

No, doesn't work like that. Rep for admins is set to a constant value which I periodically adjust but which otherwise doesn't change over time, rather than using the formula like everyone else.

You're assuming Jason's in this to make money. He isn't--he's in this to make a better community. Or so it seems to me. That's why I decided to reward rep level more and post count less (as per your bolded statement above). As far as time served, I just decided it was worth "rewarding" those who have been with us the longest.

Oh. Didn't know that.

Not buying that completely. Some yes. If not interested in money, why have ads at all? Want to create the best community possible? Money helps.
I'm sure Jason has far more pure objectives than money alone .. but it's incredibly naïve to own/run the site without concern for revenue.

No disrespect intended, at all.

I should have been more clear, the point was he could bump his rep power to match yours, then neg HH, not you. I should have worded that differently. *sigh

Oh .. hahaha .. appears your suggestion didn't fall upon deaf ears. You silver-tongued hotty, you.

I didn't say "not interested in money", I say "not in this to make money". And that's true--he didn't start this site to make money, he started this site to provide a home where Jazz basketball could be discussed. In fact, the #1 reason why Jason started the site is that he (and others of us) got ticked off by the intrusive ads at realgm where we had been previously. It was not for many years after starting the site that he ever made enough in ad revenue to even pay for the web hosting. These days I think Jason nets a little bit each year. That's nice, but again, that's not his goal.
