[QUOTE="Boobinator, post: 3221052, member: 209598"] I'm not sure what you want to say, but I'll try my best to reply ;) The idea isn't that a rep/post value of 1 or more is ideal or anything - it's all dependent on the poster. Reputation, like I said, is bound to increase with time. And rightfully so, because you do indeed get a higher reputation with time; more people recognize you etc. But it doesn't fill the purpose for which it's [I]also [/I]meant - to display a poster's [U]value or contribution to the board[/U]. Because a guy who joined April 2009 will always have a lower reputation score than someone who joined April 2006, regardless of whether if he has written more valuable posts or not. So someone who is a newcomer, but very active and posts tons of links and information in threads will still have a lower rep score than someone who hasn't done more than casually post for 3 years. The rep/post ratio will change that, as it scales with the amount of posts. So if said newcomer has done 100 excellent, appreciated posts and received 1000 rep - his average reputation per post is 10. While said casual guy has been around for 3 years and made 5000 posts, but in that time only received 1000 rep too. His average reputation per post is then 0.2, significantly lower than the newbie, meaning he doesn't contribute as often. It's kinda hard to explain it any better than this, and English isn't my ****** tongue - but you probably get where I'm going :) And like I said it's number-crunching, and not really essential. But then again I like numbers :D Cheers [/QUOTE]
