Mine didn't change much. I don't suspect that there will be much change for the usual crowd. I'm still in the top 15, and still over 99%

I'm glad to hear that the new guys will have to work harder to get in, and that we have to work harder to keep on top.

That's the way it should've been all along

@shawnmiller: I've bounced back and forth so much today that I no longer know what it is. My triangle keeps changing, too. I'd mentioned elsewhere that I hoped you were now weighting questions less than deals. Is that so? I always think that good deals should be the most important, myself.

Yes, I noticed that those who'd nto contributed much over time were penalized, and that the hit-and-run spammer types will now not suddenly appear with purple triangles (and thank you one thousand times for that). I'm interested in the new cutoffs for colors, though. Any chance on your divulging them here?

@ecriscit: Voting up other comments will help you (I think). I had a green one earlier. It's a particularly nice shade of green, and I'm wearing a very pale moss green ensemble today, so it goes well with it. Perhaps I'll wear purple tomorrow, just in case. :-}

@shrdlu: never saw you with a purple triangle before :) It's kinda purty.

♪Shot through the heart, and you're too late. You give love a bad name (guitar)......♪

Sorry I don't know why I had a Bon Jovi moment :). But coolio, sure my reputation plummeted but I never cared to much about it anyways. Glad it's more current and reasonable.

I went from 100 to 67. I guess I'll have to get up off my lazy bum and start posting more deals.

I am happy that @wootbot's rep dropped way down. Spammers like that shouldn't be able to get a high rep.

@josefresno: The site's been telling him day after day to ask better questions, but would @wootbot listen? Noooooo...

I had been feeling really good this past week that I finally had a black triangle for more than a few hours at a time. Now I've dropped something like 23%. Fine, I guess; I rarely ask questions and don't post deals all that often, but I do try to vote and comment a lot.

In all, a bit disappointing, but it's not going to ruin my day.

Edit: posting this was apparently worth 12%. Nice.

I was at 100% earlier today, but I've now dropped to 96.48% after no activity for a couple of hours.

Hey I'm purple!
meh.... no biggie.
Glad to see an overhaul on the rep system (it was long overdue)
edit (now I'm black again... make up your mind woot!)

@armagedon: Too bad about that green, kid. You're purple again.

It all seems pretty pointless to me. I wasn't doing anything to try to game my reputation, and it went down something like 40 points. Whatever.

@mukimuki: I think you're pretty sketchy. I don't like it, I don't like it one bit.

Let's do away with the reputations and let everyone pick what color they want to be. I want to be green.

My triangle is still black but my rep dropped from 99 (99.3ish) to 91%.

I feel I've been a relatively active member in terms of commenting, answering, tattling and voting, and I've posted nine deals in the last two months (which I'll grant isn't a whole lot). (My first deal was deleted about three months ago for no reason that I could see, though I didn't ask about it.) About all I don't do is ask questions.

But... given that I'm a relative n00b, I have no problem with my rep dropping as it did (I sort of presumed it was a logarithmic scale since I'd gotten to 99 so quickly).

Mine went down a bit, but I guess it's to be expected. Haven't had the time to be as active as I used to be. Went down a bit more than I expected it would have, but judging by the previous posts in the related threads, I suspect I'll bounce back somewhat.

@jsimsace: Oh not at all, you didn't come off as being a grammar/lyric policeman or offensive at all. I'm actually grateful that you cleared that up for me. Makes me not look like an idiot when I sing it in the future. Thank you again. :)

@magic cave: Haha, oh darn.

I am still being told to ask the dreaded questions.

My % hasn't been this low in a long time, but I am still above the 50 mark. Is that good; nope, it's baaaad.

This is not a recent change, but I wanted to point out that activity on deals (adding/commenting/voting) affects your reputation more than activity on questions (asking/answering/voting).

He's pretty busy these days but maybe @snapster might drop in to explain the "double rubberband" math he came up with. We're currently trying it out to help us achieve the "it should be increasingly difficult to level up" goal.

Also, I should give props to @tallerik and @josefresno who did the programming.

http://deals.woot.com/questions/users/tallerik/answered shows http://deals.woot.com/questions/details/b8b79254-fcd7-4696-9e77-63e5ed4a0ce8/any-acutal-chinese-food, which was asked by mattschuette, but http://deals.woot.com/questions/users/mattschuette shows nothing, and the question 404's for me.

It seems that on the main woot.com page at the top next to my username, the old algorithm is still used. It still shows 90/100 for me there.

I haven't been around as much lately, so I didn't even notice it.. (that and to be honest, I really never check the leaderboard heh)

My rep dropped to 95.71 - I know it hasn't been below 99 in months. And the occasions I check the leaderboard I'm usually pretty high - now I'm a 56.

The drop is also contributed to by the lack of contribution/participation lately.
The algorithm doesn't like to be ignored.
