Problem with rep

[Mitsuko]

I think there maybe a problem with the reputation mod. Yesterday I gave rep to Carol when she was already on 1, it didn't go up to 2. Also I can see in my panel I have recieved 4 rep points yet only 1 appears next to my name.

So as far as I can see, it is not possible for the number of rep points to be greater than 1 for a member, despite being given more.

Is there a section in the Admin CP which limits members to 1 point?

(I did have this in the other rep thread but felt it would get more attention with its own thread.)

Mitsuko, I don't think that rep- power (I think Curtis has 10 (doh), Statman and Robert 2, reverse_side 3) and rep points are necessarily connected (at least not additive, you might have to collect lots of rep points + number of posts, etc. in order to increase your rep-power... it takes you 30 posts, if I remember to get from rep-power 0 to 1, after that rep power 1 seems pretty hard to improve on.)

^That maybe the cause, good point.

I'm on a few other forums that use rep power which does go up 1 point each time. So I assumed that it would be the same. Obviously this might not be the case.

I just dont know how this works. Would like somebody to explain.

[snookersfun]

Shouldn't you know RaNeN?
I guess only Curtis knows the whole story...

And I am on rep 0..How sad

[Curtis]

I think is is based on a factor of 10

10 votes to get to 1, then another 10 to get to 2, etc...

[RaNeN]

I thought so....but wasnt sure.

I think is is based on a factor of 10

10 votes to get to 1, then another 10 to get to 2, etc...

I'm not sure I follow that. For instance, my rep power is 1 but I have more than 20 rep points.

[Curtis]

I was wrong about the 10 factor - it looks like it is set to 100.

There are 2 part to this, the rep points and the rep power. The rep power is the green box value. Reputation is actually a complicated algorithm calculated based on the following settings:

Default Reputation
What reputation level shall new users receive upon registration? Make sure that you have a reputation level that is at least equal to or less than this value.
Value: 10

Number of Reputation Ratings to Display
Controls how many ratings to display in the user's control panel.
Value: 5

Register Date Factor
For every X number of days, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.
Value: 365

Post Count Factor
For every X number of posts, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.
Value: 1000

Reputation Point Factor
For every X points of reputation, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.
Value: 100

Minimum Post Count
How many posts must a user have before his reputation hits count on others?
Value: 50

Minimum Reputation Count
How much reputation must a user have before his reputation hits count on others?
Value: 10

Daily Reputation Clicks Limit
How many reputation clicks can a user give over each 24 hour period? Administrators are exempt from this limit.
Value: 10

Reputation User Spread
How many different users must you give reputation to before you can hit the same person again? Administrators are exempt from this limit.
Value: 20

Thanks Curtis

[Obligation]

Thanks, that cleared it up

Looks pretty hard to get the dots. Can you also go red on this site? With negative reps?

[Obligation]

And why am I on 0??

Look now
