Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Well, here's the reply I got from my programmer about the karma problem.

Rebuilding user reputation via counters section is a bit misleading. It
does not recalculate users' reputation according to your new settings,
instead, it just adds X amount of reputation to everybody's current value.
So when you run it twice, you added that many reputation to everybody
twice.
There is no way to recalculate all users reputations from the history
because we (vb) can't know reputation conditions in a given period. For
instance consider user A added reputation for user B in Oct.24.2006. There
is no way for vb to know how many posts and reputation he had at this date
so it can't calculate what reputation value that post should get in this
date when reputation is given.
If you know what value you added to everybody's reputation with update
counters, we can reverse this process (by subtracting exact value from
everybody) to make it as if it never happenned (so you'll return to rep.
values before yesterday).
But if you don't remember this or are not even happy with that value before
yesterday, then yes, the only option we have is to clear all reps and start
over.

Wait a second...did you just call Rich a P.O.S. (not post ovulation shed)? Picard usually directed that statement to Riker, aka Number Two, and we all know what that is.

Both. I wanted to adjust the calculation method for determining karma power to be less weighted based on length of time a member, and more on the number of posts along with the amount of karma received from other members. It didn't seem fair to me that a member who has been here for 6 years and only posted three times would get bonus points from the system.
According to what my programmer says, the karma level of points should have only been multiplied by a factor in the program, but if that were the case, the members shown as the top level in karma should have changed at all. Only the value of the karma level should have changed. So either I misunderstand him, or that algorithm has "issues". Meaning that there may be no other choice but to wipe the slate clean. Wish the developers made this easy to manage in a logical manner....

Yeah I remember seeing the way it was set up at one point...auto increases of X number of points for every set amount of time, and Y amount of points for every set # of posts; plus the points they were given by other members (those points were weighted according to the rep power of the giver)

mm, I have never praised anyone for being "ruthless" but I would think that the karma system (if used correctly) would increase the level and number of "intelligent" posts and decrease the level and number of "ruthless?" "senseless" posts. If used correctly and fairly irregardless of how much we may or may not like someone?

In a perfect world that should work as you suggest but history tell us it doesn't.
Best.
