Ernest just posted some comments clarifying recent changes to Votes, Boosts, Favorites, and Reputation Points:

  • Upvotes & Downvotes function akin to Reddit
  • Boosts count as two Upvotes (link)
  • Favorites are added to https://kbin.social/fav if you Upvote (link)
  • Reputation Points have been updated

In addition to that, Ernest stated that “there is no connection between reputation points and sorting algorithms. It’s just info in the profile” (link)

    If it does have to return, I’d like it to wipe regularly. Every 3 months or 6 months everyone goes back to zero. Give EVERYONE the same “badge” that just says “so and so was here in year X” or whatever and leave it at that.

    Or go back to what forums did and only count post count and word count and turn those into EXP.
