The point factors are subject to change anytime, especially if someone tries to game the rankings.

Post Factor        5
Reply Factor     15
Replier Factor     0
Rating Factor     6
Download Factor     0
Downloader Factor     5
Favorite Post Factor     0
Favorite User (Friend) Factor     100
Rater Factor     1

(-er factors only count the first time you do something.)

If I can repay my debt to this online community in a way or in another, let me know.

I was wondering about this...

I have noticed a certain trolly individual is racking up the points at an alarming rate though since their main objective is to well, to put it bluntly, troll.


Perhaps after a certain number of points we could become immune to the spam filter? Just a thought...

The points system is just a very bad idea.

You're just saying that because you have a measly 490 points.

If I might an incredibly silly question, why do we have the point system?
And more importantly... do socialist forum's have the point system? ; )

No reason really, mostly because it was there.   I guess it's weighted towards a labor theory of volume, since it rewards posting activity over user evaluations.  I think I will change the "Favorite Post Factor" to 25 and recalculate all the scores to change to a subjective theory of value.

I think we should write a giant specification for points based on the latest social utility theory.  Whether it really works or not is less important than if we can bleed out any fun you have running this site  Stick out tongue  

 Keep the points, add green stamps, have a great day!
