Karma?

[jumbopackage]

How about just un-weighting the rep system and starting over?

One more comment - is karma to apply more what a person has posted as a body of work or karma for that particular post?

I am ahead of clone jers!

I think the karma is more for their body of work, Wesley - that is one of the reasons you can modify the karma you've given someone.

Thanks, Cyclone62 - that's exactly the type of feedback I think is needed.

Test Update

I did a formula to lower the rep values to a more moderate level and am TESTING the images but don't know what people think of them. I think Karma and Rep both have pros and cons but they can be redundant at the same time. Karma is a number given as an average by the other members - you can change your rating of somebody if your opinion of them changes. Rep is a weighted rating based on individual posts/threads/etc.

The race to a million will be back on for rep.

[brianhos]

Ahh we don't need another race to a million...

Jeremy,
I like it much better like that, without the images. Just give us the number.

[Jeremy]

I actually altered the formulas and coding so the number should stay much lower and not get so inflated.

Thanks for the feedback! I think it's looking much better and more reasonable. Karma for overall body of work and rep for individual post feedback with comments. Simple and effective.

It would probably also be beneficial to put a "cap" on the max amount of rep any one person can give out, say 10k or so.

And I was finally only a few thousand away from a million. Thanks...thnx a lot

Seriously, though...I like the changing ability because I may dislike something they say but see that they are -1300000000 rep because of that 1 post and I don't even bother giving them neg rep. But I can give them bad karma and look it up later and change it if I saw they posted something I liked or agreed with.

Ditto.........

2 bugs I have seen so far. The PM message for the rep # is still the super inflated version. And in your user CP it shows the old multi million rep.

Jeremy will take a look at this tomorrow. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

I woild suggest that be applied in both directions - positive and negative.

I think this is gonna be a good change.
