how does the respect system work??

[nemolala]

So every now and then I'll realise that my respect will just increase out of no where...the one on the side yeah.. So i was just wondering how does it increase/decrease??

Just how does it work really?


This has always been on my mind lol

[Reckoner]

Respect = Community Respect (replaced the 'Karma system'), one can gain respect through the voting of their posts by other members. +4 on a post = +1 respect, -4 on a post = -1 respect. +5 respect is given for notes contribution

Isn't it +3?

[Fyrefly]

I thought it was +3 as well.

[Bhootnike]

same here, +3

Ok I think we may have a little bit of a mistake somewhere, because its +0.4 for every upvote after 2 upvotes, or it was as far as DavidBeck has told me since december 2011 (23/12) through pm's. It used to be +3 for +1 before it was changed at some point during this year.

I.e. this means that
+1 Earns 0 respect
+2 Earns 0 respect
+3 Earns +0.4 respect
+4 Earns +0.8 respect
+5 Earns +1.2 respect

and so on

Let n be the number of upvotes
where

It may appear that a +4 post has earned +1 respect if your respect started on xxx.2 (as 0.2+0.8=1.0)

On the stats page it appears that everything is in whole numbers, but that is because the decimal point is dropped.

Just to double check this, me and laseredd have expiremented with upvoting some posts and wacthing the change on the stats page (before when there was decimals and when they have been dropped) and this confirmed the +0.4.

Dw, we unvoted afterwards aswell. Also same goes for downvoting, -0.4 for every downvote after 2 downvotes

EDIT: Added formula.

Which proves b^3's theory because you got +10 respect, 10x0.4 = 4 and 9 to 13 = 4!

 +1nemolala.So it has to be +3 for a single post to receive + 0.4? And don't you have to post more in order to give karma?
Then i got +5 only since last yr sad thing.

Another question ... What does it mean if someone  has a little brown circle on their pm thing ...

I bet that makes no sense but I tried my best to explain it...

If you are talking about on the left here, then it just means that they are online. I.e. you can also see the green box need to their name (instead of a white box/speech bubble).
