[QUOTE="Boobinator, post: 3219084, member: 209598"] Hi, this will probably come off as a pretty nerdy and pointless number-crunching idea, but that's me :D Reputation, by nature, is bound to increase with time. Mostly because sooner or later you receive some reputation no matter how little you post. This is all fun of course, but it also means that reputation becomes more of an activity or "time since account creation" number than the poster's value. Seeing as it takes 100 posts to achieve reputation to begin with, my idea is simply this: Add a stat next to the reputation meter that counts the reputation per post quote. You could of course argue that I could do this calculation manually, but hey, I'm not Rain man :tongue: So for example, someone with 10 000 reputation and 5000 posts would have a rep/post value of 2. And someone with 200 posts and 1000 reputation would have a rep/post value of 5. That number therefore indicates that the 200-posts guy in general writes more appreciated posts than the 5000-posts guy. Like I said, perhaps it's stupid, but I think it fills a function and also, it's a little fun :) Another thing, which I might as well post in this thread, is regarding the "I'd give rep points to the guy above because..."-thread in the Games and Stuff section of the board. Perhaps I'll get flamed for this, but I think it should be removed. It's just reputation giving for the heck of it, and totally screws up the whole idea of reputation as a measure of contribution to the forum. I see many people who are active in threads posting links and valuable information with way less reputation than those in the above mentioned thread. And I admit I've posted in it as well, but that doesn't prevent me from thinking the thought that it's kind of a weird thread. Again, not the end of the world, but I thought I'd just share my thoughts here with you (FO crew) and see what you think about all of this. Any feedback appreciated :hatsoff: And thanks for providing a super-awesome website and keeping the close contact with people on this board! It's much appreciated and this is in my eyes the best community on the internet. Don't ever sell out or change any of all this (except for the better) :thumbsup: [/QUOTE]
