      Not knocking it, just interested. I've only had a quick look through some of the threads and have seen a lot of 'points' based on funny answers and such. I'm interested to see how that plays out as the site grows.

      Lots of people talking about how to potentially improve it. Although it is so simple now that it might be perfect. Very predictable which is important. Although a major question will eventually be.... should WC votes count, or only ones in the IT group(s)?

        I personally feel IT ones should be the only ones to count. Otherwise the results are skewed.

          That depends on what you want to get out of your points system. If it is intended to be an IT community it makes sense to keep the points where the real content is, the rest is just anncilary really.

            @JustRob I agree. However, other places base it off contributions (kinda). You already have a post counter shown for you on each post. Would make more sense to use reputation to show competence. IMHO

              Exactly, that's why I suggested keeping the points where the real content is, in the IT side of things. Toilet talk is just the extra fluff around it that helps build community and familiarity with other users.

                Exactly. One shows how much into the community you are. The other shows how good you are for the community. Two different things that can both mean a lot if setup correctly.

                  Looking at the stats, I have the lowest ratio of reputation to post count. Am I doing that badly? 🙂

                          The benefits of rarely posting and being a platform admin.
