105% wouldn't really matter; it'd be effectively denormalised by the ranking system anyway.

105% is also impossible.

I take it you've never had to deal with computer systems before, then? :-p

The total may increase, but 100% is the sum of any total. You can have an increase WRT a previous, or subsequent figure.

The total in the present has to add up to 1.

Having all of the point scores 1.05 times as high as they should be won't affect the ranking.

You are changing the context of the original statement. ;-)

I am quite familiar with a multiplier.

It adding up to 105% wouldn't be an issue for the computer system, unfortunately. There's much worse lurking in the depths of software.

Aight.

Or is it? :P

While I don't agree with imposing diversity on folks, I do like these ideas you've put forth as an option.

However, if you can't even get people to capitalize things, categorize their posts, flag rather than vote (my bad), and other things that require disciplined human sorting into the system, not counting all the newbies with no clue, how are you going to get any kind of accurate "weighting" system in place.

Chaos in = Chaos out.

I could do it. That shit is easy.

No worries. You can be the new dictator. I trust you. I trust you to herd all the cats. Get them to be disciplined, capitalizing and categorizing, and shape this ship up.

Then I'll let you do the weighting system.

I'm going to beat those damn cats!

I'm coming for the PUUUUUUUUU-CATS!!!

Alright cats. You listen here... We're going to get organized, and then you are all going to weigh in; understood?!

<this isn't so easy>
