Reputation Points
Posted: Mon Jan 14, 2008 6:24 pm
No one has lost any reputation points, even though many of us HAVE lost several of the green or gold pip marks, or gold stars.
I went into the systems innards and reset some of the pip counter limits.
A dark green pip is = 250 points
a light green pip is = 500 points
a golden pip is = 1,500 points
a golden star is = 20,000 points
These values are double what they were set at before. I have also set the limits so that more of the small pips show before being converted to the next level.
I did this so that the display is a bit more compact, and as the system accumulates more points for more folks, it will provide a better display.
Again, no one has lost any points because of this.
****************************************
The way the point system is set up to work, at minimum, is as follows:
Everyone starts with +10 points for registering.
For every 120 days you are a registered member, you gain 1 point.
For each 10 posts you make, you gan an additional point.
For every 15 points you obtain from any source, you gan one extra point (15=16).
You may give a maximum of 10 reputation clicks per 24 hour period (that is, you can only add to other's rep 10 times in any continuous 24 hour period).
You must give reputation points to at least 5 different members before you may repeat points to someone previously touched by you.
Limit: You actually give NO points to anyone, even when clicking them, until you have BOTH a total of 25 points (you start with 10), AND a total of 5 posts.
Fi9nally, the more points you receive from others, the greater the value of the points you may give to others. For example, someone with 5,000 points will be able to bestow about 500 points to another.
