    Yeah, who'd do that? :S

    Joking. But no I see what you mean - I highly doubt anyone posts just for the rep constantly (obviously if someone offers rep for filling out a survey or helping the user is more inclined to do so), but in general I don't think anyone does :p

    But that's my point, it would be possible that someone who had been around for a few months but was respected as much as Neversoft could have the same displayed reputation. Your displayed reputation would be almost a direct correlation to how much people actually respect you which I think would be pretty cool.

    I understand where you are coming from but I don't think it needs changing. As Nvr said it just seems a bit over complicated and I'm not sure how easy it would be to implement either.

    You already get rep from posting a certain amount and being part of the forum for a certain amount of time, you just get it in smaller amounts than you are suggesting. So I think using it to also get your blocks up is just a bit too much.

    Personally I feel that the forum and it's members are a lot more relaxed nowadays and it is far much easier to get +repped today than it used to be, so I don't think the whole "making things easier for other members" is really needed or really an issue right now.

    I personally think it is fine how it is.

    If a person is as respected as let's say, Neversoft, they will be respected that much - and probably be +repped a lot. However you forget that many users have earnt the rep they have, so I think changing it suddenly making it even more worthless would be a bit unfair on the users with a high rep.

    Then again it is only rep :L

    Rep seems fine to me. Changing it will only make people start complaining about it and I'm kind of sick of hearing all that moaning.

    but that's the thing - in all fairness neversoft probably is more 'respected' more than someone who's been here a month or two. because he's been here considerably longer, he's put considerably more into the forum (so to speak).

    if a new person is respected so much, then their rep will increase quickly - the fact that people have higher rep powers (like neversoft, me, flyingjesus (off the top of my head)) will help their rep go up quicker, too.

    Not important, but I am surprised. I think up until the last couple of months the rep system is used far less than it used to be.

    I imagine it would be something like adding one line of code along the lines of:
    $reputation = $reputation / $postcount;

    I'm not sure how vB stores it's variables but it would basically consist of that, although it would probably need a constant to prevent it frequently becoming less than one.

    I'm not suggesting getting rep from posting or being a member of the forum for a period of time at all? I'm suggesting a change to the way it is displayed.

    That wasn't really my concern, but at the moment you could be just as respected as Neversoft and get for example twenty reputation points per day but because you joined many years later, they'd always be 10,000 reputation points ahead.

    I think what you were trying to say is that new members outside of the 'elite' would have their reputation rise faster because the 'elite' can only be repped by (number of elite)-1 where as the new member could be repped by the whole elite.

    Or at least I think that's what you were trying to say.
