Re: New calculation of Reputation

This has come up several times before, and the general argument is that we shouldn't change reputation because it doesn't really matter.

See:

http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=29490

But here is my question: What is the intent of the reputation system? If it is intended to let people know who on this forum is experienced and knows what they are talking about, we definately don't want artificial bonuses for new posters. Should someone with 3 rep and one post really be higher than someone with 1500 rep and 750 posts? If anything, they should be listed by posts times rep.
