Look guys - haven't you worked it out yet? Everytime someone figures out how the Rep Power works, Franck changes it. And in case you haven't noticed, those changes are generally in only one direction!

For the love of humanity, stop the speculation while we still have some power left!

I think that rep should be reset back to 10 for everyone on a 6 monthly basis, to reflect who is falling out with who, and hence, not being repped by their friends. And also to give people new to the forum a chance to be on the top of the tree periodically.

After all, while it's always nice to receive positive comments, the actual rep score isn't worth anything...

Re: Rep Power?

Maybe it could be done on a basis that there's a limited amount of rep to go around. So when someone gets rep awarded, it has to come off someone else's score...

Rep power could work the same way, so we're all competing for it.

Negrep would, of course, not work that way, so every time negrep was given, the total rep pool would be reduced.

And, of course, just to promote peace and harmony, every time rep or rep power changed hands, silver members would be able to see who it was taken from, as well as who it was given to.

Now - wouldn't that make life interesting?

Probably!

I'd say that it's not just the number of posts you have, but other factors too (your own rep score, and it always used to be related to the length of time you've been on the forum as well).

Re: Rep Power?

I think we may have to look a bit wider here. As far as I can make out my rep power is my age divided by my shoe size (losing the remainder) minus the number of kids I've got.

Based on this premise the sooner I klonk one of the little buggers on the head the sooner my rep power will increase.

Just off to fetch a piece of 2x4, I'll let you know if it works.....

I reckon you get a bonus rep point if you live in Scotland.

Re: Rep Power?

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?

Oh, and congrats to DavidJames for just hitting 6,000 posts!

Does that mean you're going to disappear again for a few months?
