    What has happened to my rep ?

    I have just noticed that somehow my rep has gone from +2 when i got to my 1000 posts and 20 rep points, but now as soon as i reached 50 rep points i am only allowed to give out +1 what has happened, does anyone know if this has happened before ?

    I received rep the other day from a person who's allowed to give 2 and I only got 1.. Then I received from a person who can give 4 and I got 3.

    dam what is happening could it be that there is a fault on UCP that is making the rep system not work rite ?

    Some members can give 3+ points but they say (and it's true) that some posts deserve maybe a +1 or +2 but not a +4 or even more... It's been an issue lately and it has been discussed, maybe Wouter changed a little bit the system. I'll just wait for his answer or a moderator's.

    yeah i think that is the best idea let wouter explain it to us unless Peter knows the answer?

    Wouter 'adjusted' rep weightings.
    from thread in website discussion .......

    I have made a couple of changes to the rating system:

    Minimum post count to rate: 100
    Minimum reputation to rate: 25
    Reputation power:
    Default reputation power: 1
    For every 5000 posts: 1
    For every 100 reputation points: 1
    For every membership year: 1


    This brings fpv's rating number down to 3 and Matra's to 2.

    Awesome, this way is much better.

    Sorry I didn't read that post by Wouter before.

    Thanks Peter.

    it still needs to be changed so a member who can give 4 rep can either give 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 as he/she so chooses to give. Doesn't that make more sense to any one other than me????

    well, it depends on opinions and is debatable. the final decision is up to wouter although we other members may always give our opinions. imo, rep is rep, doesn't matter to much. it's how you contribute to the forum.

    dont you think that you are going a bit steep with the 5000 posts thing, not many people will reach that


    thanks for clearing that up

    thats because the rep was given to you by someone that is under 20 rep. They dont "count" until they are given by those with 20+ rep.
