What should we do about rep PART TWO !

[Redrobes]

Heh id give +25 for a silver compass and +50 for gold all capped at +100 if I could but I am not certain that I would be able to do this. I might try tho but it is doubtful. The compasses and awards are the things that are most prized because they are usually voted for and thus inherantly reputationally important things to have.

You have to remember these longest members, most posts and most rep values are the highest in the whole guild. Most of us mortals have been around a few years, have a few thousand rep and made perhaps a thousand posts. We ought to have the top 50 or so in each of those categories capping out the max rep power.

We cant do the logarithmic scale. We can only adjust the X, Y, Z values to make any scaling. A logarithmic scale for the current rep score would indeed be a great thing.


EDIT: Actually looking at the code I think we might be able to do a logarithmic scaled version for these values. I would need to alter the reputation code to do it rather than set the constants via the admin menu panel but if you think it would be better then I think it is possible. So we could do +K * log( reputation ) if you wanted. So in your case K would be 1 or 2 but we could have different amounts. I.e. if K was 5 then you get 5 points at 10 rep, 10 points at 100 rep, 15 points at 1000 rep, 20 points at 10000 rep and 25 points at 100,000 rep etc.


Let me just also comment about Gregs post as well

Just looking at this thread of people I think everyone would theoretically be at the rep power cap given either the number posted and years a members alone, but that's because they're all key members. The +1 every 4000 pts I think is potentially harder to achieve than the others, but if you're an active member, then rep should hopefully come your way too.

This is what I would be looking for, Pretty much everyone who is an established member who joined a while back, made a lot of posts and got some rep under their belt and if possible won a few compasses getting the same rep power capped at the max value. Perhaps +1 per 4000 current rep is a bit low. Something like +1 per 1000 or 2000 might be better actually.
