The purpose of the posts/members point system is to give a picture of the value each post/members is adding the the community. The system this site is build upon (Community Server) has a number of factors we can adjust to make this give the best picture for our site.
A goal is that quality should be worth more than quantity. I have therefor tried to adjust the setup a little, so that it’s worth more that a post has been rated and selected a favorite, whereas the number of replies doesn’t count as much.
The new factors have been set to this:
| Post Factor | 5 | The amount each post is worth |
|---|---|---|
| Reply Factor | 10 | The amount each reply is worth for the post replied to |
| Replier Factor | 1 | The amount each unique replier is worth for the post |
| Rating Factor | 10 | The amount each rating is worth for the rated post |
| Download Factor | 1 | The amount each download is worth for the file |
| Downloader Factor | 5 | The amount each unique downloader is worth for the file |
| Favorite Post Factor | 25 | The amount each post will receive for being selected a favorite |
| Favorite User Factor | 100 | The amount each user will receive for being selected a favorite |
| Rater Factor | 1 | The amount the rater will receive for rating a file or post. |
