Ahh I see. You guys are talking about the pop-up window thing!

Re: Reputation Dots Enhancements
This may have been said but,
I think you should not install the program but find a different one that displays your rep in number-color form. So for example a green 100 would say that you have one hundred positive rep marks and a red 100 would say the opposite. The rep would be small, discrete but effective and functional. Or maybe scientific notation, binary or even Hexadecimal...:cool: -Dan |

10^x = 12000. x = the number of dots you get, which is 4 (rounded). I think google does something similar with its PageRank number, to assign a number to a site (1-10). 1000 - 10000 points gets the same number of dots, is one problem I see, so maybe the log score would have to be scaled a little bit to make use of the remainder that normally gets thrown away. Another thing that could be done is to get the mean and standard deviation of the rep points, and then based on the number of standard deviations you are away from the mean, you get a certain amount of dots. Those who have a negative some of rep points would have to have a seperate process to assign red dots, and their score would have to be excluded from determining the average rep point total. Are you saying this is too complicated? Of course I'd have to agree, and doing any of this might be harder than just installing that plug-in Brandon is talking about.. but I dunno, I kinda liked thinking about possible enhancements to rep dots. |
Re: Reputation Dots Enhancements
It would be nice to keep The same system for rep points, just add a lot more available "trophies" to be obtained. I think this is much better than basing the score on a single member of the community, as that limits us.
I'm pretty sure the scale of points to dots can be changed as well, so there would be no upper limit. (100 points = 1 dot changes to 1000 points = 1 green dot with need) |

When Richard added in a nod to Andy Baker, I think he was joking.. A log scale wouldn't have to rely on the score of one member. As for taking the mean and standard deviation, that would rely on everyone's score I guess, but maybe not in the way you're thinking? Using a distribution is like an automatic way to readjust the point/dot ranges. |
Re: Reputation Dots Enhancements
I took that as being a semi-serious way to introduce the LOG thing... but I really have no Idea. I should rephrase my thought: Having a logarithmic system based on any concrete score would put another upper cap on it, and that is how it works right now, so why change it?
The mean and standard deviation, however, is a very good Idea, and I wasn't thinking about it when I posted. I think it might be hard to impliment though... |
