Forum Walkthrough

I can unequivocally say that Perry is correct. The rep system is based on a certain base rep altering power, modified by a combination of length of time registered, post count and rep score. The Admin CP lets you modify all of these values and the weight they hold.

We spent some time working this out with Apo and it is most certainly not only based on one's own rep. One of the reasons Wyz has so much sway is because he scores highly on all 3 factors.

The main reason it isn't based entirely on one's own rep is because it would be easy to whore out rep between members. By making it a combination of the three, it means that the people with the most sway are:

1. The most active on the forums.
2. The longest standing.
3. Possess the most rep themselves.

So, what +rep power does:

• 2.5 years membership
• 1,384 posts
• 490 rep

give?

Or even better, how can we calculate our +rep power?

You'd have to get those 3 settings I quoted from the admin cp to figure it out.

I think yours may be 11, but someone else got to me after yours so I'm not 100% positive.

Give someone else rep and have them tell you :P

Yes. perry and Bom have it right. Apophis will know the setting values (I don't think we're too concerned about those), but the formula, as I understand it, is as they described it.
