How much rep do each of these add/remove:

Add Rep
Helpful Post
Unhelpful Post
Remove Rep

I'm not as bad as I used to be, I'm mellowing with age.

EDIT
Sorry, Jeremy. Will stay on topic from now on.

I've covered #'s 1 and 2 multiple times now. At this time, #3 has no impact and a negative rep deducts exactly half what a positive rep would add.

Question:

My reputation was 55 and now it is 56 ! One post has been clicked "helpful" .
so shouldn't the reputation be now 60 ? As per the following rule:

Quote:

Yes" votes to "Did you find this post helpful?" will now increase a members rep, but will do so by 50% of what manually positively repping them would have.

No, it shouldn't be 60, 56 is correct.

To reiterate (from http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ml#post4079653), since it seems to be coming up quite a bit:

The amount of reputation you give is variable, and is based on a variety of factors including length of membership, number of posts, current reputation, etc.

At the risk of increasing the post count on this thread and bugging Jeremy... my two cents worth are... I will check all this out in a positively Slack way... I,ll check it out next year when its up and running as Jeremy wants... LOL

As a net beneficiary of the new system, I shouldn't complain, but I would have thought the best approach could have been derived from existing site data in this way: the ratio between a member's total number of postings and the number of those for which he has been thanked (or found "helpful") calculated and expressed as a simple percentage?
