Reputation Chart

[MililaniBuckeye]

Ever wonder what the new rep "jewels", "greens", or whatever you may call them, mean? You've probably noticed that Clarity implemented a new indicator system, replacing to older one which had only the dark green "chicklets", with a maximum of 11, which nearly everyone had because of the way the system calculated them (the values for each were so small, as members keep getting reps and their "power" grew, it got to the point that if they gave someone a rep it was worth way more than the worth of the maximum of 11). The new system not only has a much higher ceiling for maximum jewels (1,110,000 points vice around 14,000), it can also keep going well past the ceiling simply by awarding you a Gold Buckeye Leaf and starting the jewel meter over. Below is a chart that shows how many points you need to get each jewel (note you start with two jewels, not one):

Once you max out the meter, you get a Gold Buckeye Leaf and the meter resets, but you total keeps going. For example, DCBuckFan has 1,118,196 rep points. Since he has more than the 1,110,000 max, he gets a GBL and his meter gets reset. But since he has 8,196 over the GBL award, he gets the six green jewels for having between 8,001 and 10,000 points. Another example, scooter1369 has 2,250,368 points. So, he gets two GBLs for having over 2,220,000 (1,110,000 x 2) points, and eight jewels for having 30,368 (between 30,001-50,000) points over that.

Also note it takes more and more points to progress as you climb up the rep meter (a 50,000-point rep from a member with a ton of rep points will bump you up a bunch or all in dark greens, but only a couple in bright greens, and only one or maybe even none in the golds).

So now you know. I need a beer.

Here's a question that maybe somebody will know...not important, just kind of curious. When you give somebody positive rep (or negative) for that matter, I know that the more rep you have, the more rep you are giving somebody. But is it a certain %? Like 10% what ur rep is or something?

If you look on your user cp, it shows your rep power right above the recent reps you have given out. For example, mine says this:

Your Reputation Power is 74157 Points

So, when I ding or green somebody, their rep is altered by 74157 points. I don't know what formula they use to generate that number, but you can look at your user cp to see what your rep power is.

I never noticed that before. I am blind though (hince being an umpire)...so that may have had something to do with it.

Under the old system, your dings didn't take away the same amount of points as your postive reps gave...I think it was around half or so. Not sure how the new system works. Here, let me ding you and let's find out.

OK, I just gave ArtilleryBuck some reps. My rep power was 183,656 and he had 1,884,987 points before the rep. He now has 2,068,643 points, which indeed is a gain of 183,656 points.

Let's just leave it as another one of life's mysteries.

i believe you about the negative rep, but the positive seems fishy. Give me some greenies so I can be sure. :tongue2:

Thanks for the explanation Mili.

Damn, one more gold away from joining the 3 buckeye club.
