I am taking a look at this system now, ultimately its not system critical but its a distraction from trying to get up-to-date with Harry Potter so I can be dragged to the latest bastard sequel inevitably at some point in the future and also from prodding whatever else it was I might be working on.

Anyway, chat excerpt:

Patrick says:
UPDATE `osnn`.`reputation` SET `reputation` = '10'
should do it ;p
JW says:
Yup.
Want me to make a backup just in case?
Patrick says:
Affected rows: 14661 (Query took 0.3209 sec)
already grabbed the table
JW says:
Nevermind.
Patrick says:
haha

So yeah, I have reset all rep ever given to 10 points. Some folks rep might go up, many will go down. But hey some of those numbers were ****ing unmanagable! It will be hopefully all tweaked up tonight but should hopefully bring some meaning back to the system.

Ok so just a quick follow up of how it all works. No reputation that was ever given to anyone has been removed simply re-valued. I just noticed people were getting 5k reputation from individuals because it was their birthday!

Of course feedback is welcome.

You gain 1 reputation power point for
- Each 30 days you have been with the site
- For every 100 points of reputation you recieve
- For every 100 posts you make.

You are just saying that because I have more rep than you!

Hah, just noticed the rep icon is a heart... isn't that sweet

You've been with the site longer than I have and help out way more than I do so your reps should be higher.
my rep ownz you all 😛
And this is why the reputation system is a load of horse ****, spamming shouldn't get you reputations, good or bad.

If it wasn't for the rep system I wouldn't have this super Touchscreen pc but as you say people spamming, begging or even asking is quite annoying 🙄

Speaking of that Super Touchscreen…how’s it working for you. Any new updates on how you like it or maybe something you don’t like about it?

I for one was glad to see you get that thing!
