Jan 25, 2011 at 5:27 comment added iPadDeveloper2011 Perhaps penalise the voter equivalently to the votee however.
Jan 25, 2011 at 5:21 comment added iPadDeveloper2011 OK, I found much of the info I wanted here: stackoverflow.com/faq The system looks fairly sensible, although I think a vote-down should reverse a vote-up WRT reputation (especially as it costs the voter reputation!)
Jan 25, 2011 at 4:29 comment added iPadDeveloper2011 The question makes it sound like casting an up-vote diminishes ones own reputation ("giving reputation"). That would certainly be the wrong way to do it. Users should accumulate "votes" in a parallel manner to "reputation". The only things that should reduce your reputation is receiving a down-vote, or having something flagged, moderated and deleted. Is that how it is done?
Jan 25, 2011 at 4:07 comment added iPadDeveloper2011 Hi, I have posted a separate question about this. I'm looking for information about what the existing system/algorithms for up vote allocations etc actually are, and also any guidelines on when people should up-vote. If we could clarify that, and then identify any weaknesses with that system/algorithm, and then propose an alternate system/algorithm, we'd be somewhere.
Jan 13, 2010 at 20:41 comment added RobH So, how would you go about applying this to newbies who don't have enough rep to cast votes yet???
