RE: Developing the new Utopian bot

in #utopian-io6 years ago

Yes, basically every round it will upvote the highest scored contributions until the required voting power to upvote the highest scored remaining contribution will deplete the category's share (< 0%). For example (using made up numbers):

Category X has share of 1%

  1. Calculate usage of upvoting contribution A -> uses 0.3% -> category's remaining share = 0.7%
  2. Calculate usage of upvoting contribution B -> uses 0.29% -> category's remaining share = 0.41%
  3. Calculate usage of upvoting contribution C -> uses 0.25% -> category's remaining share = 0.16%
  4. Calculate usage of upvoting contribution D -> uses 0.17% -> category's remaining share < 0% so don't upvote contribution D and stop upvoting contributions in category X

So this means that category X will have 0.16% left in its share which won't be used, and in the next voting round it will start with contribution D (unless contributions with a higher score are reviewed in the meantime). I hope this contrived example clears things up for you, haha.

Sort:  

Haha it actually made a lot of sense (you wrote it in a developer's way so it helped a lot xD )

Thank you :)
