Reputation Ratio (Happy: safe, rated, average)

[SnappyBob]

I was reading a thread recently where a poster was asking readers to consider his/her rep points when deciding how to view the content of the post. It occurred to me that this alone may not be a really good barometer of any given posters reputation. Someone who has a great many total posts will likely have a pretty high reputation count. Also anyone who has just become a member will receive an automatic 10 rep points on their first post. I think a better indicator would be a ratio of the number of post per rep. A lower number of course would be indicative of a higher reputation. I would deduct the 10 automatic reps. The equation would look like this. (Excuse my sphering, I'm no mathematician) Anyway. # of posts / (reps-10) = rep ratio. Mine, at this time, would look like this. 863 / (340-10) = 2.61. Or, on average, it took me 2.6 posts for every rep that I recieved. Try it! It's Fun! What's your Rep Ratio?

Everybody have a safe and Happy 4th of July!

That's not what I get.
173 / (66-10) = 3.08

Oh the minus ten! You're right.

They really ought to add in a bating average for us.

You can rep yourself as much as you want, no?
Just don't log in, and then view your posts - rep as you please.
I'm sure many do it.

I just logged out and viewed this post but there was no option to rep or reply. I had to log in to do that.

LindaGrace....2.17. Not bad.
