Rep Power?

[Blueshoes]

One point for posting more than 10 posts....

One point for every 4,000 posts...

One point for every 2,000 rep points...

One point for every 3 years a member...

Does that work?

OK, OK, so it doesn't work for everyone. I'll do a statistical analysis by taking a sample of people and correllate the rep points, posts and years membership to rep power which should tell us if there's a simple formula or not.

Be back later...........

You follow everything i lead , when not improvising that is so sure u can follow the key

Is there anything like;
number of posts per day
or ratio of reputation points to posts made

that also gives rep??

I'm wondering if it's some kind of age drop out thing....and something similar with the rep system too!

What I'm getting at (badly I know), is maybe points are tied to something that fades out over time....in other words, old rep points count for nothing (how old I don't know of course), or maybe old posts count for nothing?...or maybe both?

Am I making sense?

Not so crazy, seem to think there is something on ratio of posts to rep received, so people who average better rep are able to return better rep in return, but i might be loosing it to

can someone help us

As far as I'm aware, time on forum, number of posts and rep are the only variables that are used in deciding rep power (though admins get 10.)

My guesses are still not right – I think I might be wrong with the "one point of power per 3 years", but I think it's that sort of ball-park...

If you want to work it out methodically, it's important to note that the forum counts membership in days, not years, so it could be a value like "750 days."

Could someone give Under Par another 12 rep points, I want to see what happens when he gets to 2,000

[Blueshoes]

OK folks, we have an answer!

The magic formula is:

1 rep power point for posting more than 10 posts

1 rep power point for every 4,000 posts

1 rep power point for every 1,250 reputation total

1 rep power point for every 2 years on the forum

I set up a spread sheet and analysed 54 profiles, all of which conformed to this model.

I confidently predict the following: Stuart38 is currently on 3,852 posts and has rep power 2, once he reaches 4,000 posts his rep power will increase to 3.

Go Stuart38!

So Fletch, only 1,500 more posts to get your next rep power point.........



ps If this model doesn't fit your profile, let me know.

Blimey! If that's true (which I'm not doubting btw), then I'm stuck on RP 2 until at least Aug 2008 ....I feel so inadequate now

No we just need to rep each other at every oppertunity

we could become rep tarts, and there are a few on here

or we could give in and gracefully and disappear never to be heard of again


don't get carried away everyone I wasn't serious

Thank you babes

Ooh! I was close!

Thanks for doing this Blueshoes!

So, just need to wait until February to get my 4th point... (Little chance of getting it through extra rep – no-one's got enough rep power to make rep-tarting worth the bother! )

(Oh, except Franck and Sheena! )

[ducasi]

(Oh, except Franck and Sheena! )

Thanks Franck!

Oh, and Sheena, I've gotta say... I *really* enjoyed dancing with you tonight, and I thought you played a fab set! I didn't want the night to finish!

{snip yak yak}

What did you analyse to get this info?
Good info btw! Just curious who's stats you took

[TheTramp]

and what you gone and done S38 for we will have to suffer another 248 of his posts now

Ummm. It was actually only 148 posts to suffer. Which is much better!

Of course, you have 3973 (currently) of mine to suffer. Something to look forward to!

Oooh. And that means I'll be on 5 rep points in just over a month

[David Bailey]

On first reading, I thought that meant you were planning on posting 3973 new posts in a month

And what do you bet that Franck changes the rules again before then?

Well. Just trying to keep up with you!!

But no, you're right, I meant that it'll be 4 years since I joined the forum next month! Doesn't time fly when you're having fun!

[Beowulf]

That seems to fit my stats.

So 10 months from now I should automatically go to Rep 3.. assuming I don't get 1284 more posts and/or 506 rep points before then of course

You could try for all 3!!

I'll rep you the next time you come to class on a Tuesday!
