Re: Rep Power?
you know I swore I was at rep power 6 for a week or so but I just figured I'd mis read it.. now I'm not so sure.

Perhaps the upper limits have been set to something different. I know rep power is calculated from many variables, time on forum (from when you joined) , number of posts and your own reputation.. among others. I'm not privy to the exact formulae

Re: Rep Power?
My rep power has gone from 6 to 5 since the last upgrade, maybe the calculation has changed...

It's like the Diet Coke formula, or the Google search algorithm - kept hidden away in a safe sometimes, guarded by a rabid wolf and laser beams I reckon.

Oh, OK, then - it used to be
  • +1 point for posting more than 10 posts
  • +1 point for every year you're a member
  • +1 point for every 2,000 posts
  • +1 point for every 250 rep points

But capped at 6, of course (with 2 exceptions... wonderful people that they are :grovel: )

It was messed around a bit a few weeks ago I think when there was an upgrade - someone had 11 power for a brief time didn't they?

I dunno if the system's changed now, however. There may be a new Secret Formula...

Re: Rep Power?
Hmm. According to the formula DJ quoted I should have
  • +1 point for posting more than 10 posts +1
  • +1 point for every year you're a member 3 years in March 2006 so +3
  • +1 point for every 2,000 posts
  • +1 point for every 250 rep points More than 250, less than 500 so +1
Which would make 5, but my rep power is 4.

I could have sworn mine was still 6 a couple of days ago (even after the upgrade) but my rep today only gave 5 points (sorry about that ).

Don't get me started on the last time the rep was re-set , I just hope that's not about to happen again...?

Hmmm... looks like it's now +1 rep power for every 500 rep points, not 250 - that fits all the posters on this thread I think.

We could always ask of course, but then that'd be almosts as UnManly as asking for directions.

But if it was a 5 par, you'd be a bogey....

Being that tall you must have to check for bogeys more often as everyone looks up your nose.... just a thought....
