Hi @vanderberg. Thanks for your explanation and applied examples. It certainly makes the theory a lot easier to understand. I have not played with the formula n^2/(n/c+1) before. I think I probably should.
I have 2 concerns based on my early observations.
First is one getting the value of 'c' correct. The low values do not appear to make much of a difference. As 'c' increases to infinity we end back at n^2.
My second concern is regarding rewards posts at the low end. The posts that get the least rshares will take a heavy hit and the posts that get the most rshares will gain very little percentage wise. I am concerned new users will have a hard time getting off the ground.
