OK,

 

Theres been alot of discusion recently on or about the forum rep system and how its works so heres a breakdown !

 

Firstly theres two parts :

 

Rep Level: How much reputation points they have currently received from other users.

 

Rep Power: How much power (points) the user gives when they give reputation to another user.

 

 

Starting of with Rep Level;

 

Your Rep Level is the green bars to the left under your title and its basically a points system.

 

The points and green bars are grouped by the following rules :

 

 

 

 

If you take Stellaz for an example he has 8 green bars as he currently has 728 rep points and his quote shows "Stellaz is a splendid one to behold"

 

His Rep Power is made from the following rules :

 

 

 

 

Again Stellaz has a Rep Power of 41 which is calulated using the above rules :

 

For every 365 days of being a user Stellaz gains 1 point of power which is about 8 points so far

 

For every 1000 posts Stellaz gains 1 point of power which is currenly 25 points

 

For every 100 points of reputation that Stellaz has he gains 1 point of power which currently is 7

 

So those 3 together give him a Rep Power of 40 !

 

Now I know Stellaz Rep is actually 41 and that's more than likely because the points above actually round up from a percentage point as his posts are actually just shy of the next target.

 

 

So now you all know; please feel free to Rep me for letting you into this top secret :whistling:

 

 

Any Questions ?

Should I not be showing 13?- already had 1 rep point (according to profile) + 12 completed years? Actually showing 0.

Now fixed,

 

I had to run a maintenance script to recalculate the Rep Power from scratch.
