Can't remember if I did a thread on this before or not but I can't find it.

Anyhoo the problem of repo power inflation is still with us despite the repo revamp from a few months ago.

Repo power is doubling every year as it always has been.

I do not believe that my comments in 2016 are twice as witty and ascerbic as my comments from last year so I don't think they should be earning twice as many points from the exact same posters who repo-ed me last year.

Also fokin noobs who rocked up yesterday should not be getting 2^9 = 512x as much repo for a comment as I got the day after I rocked up in 2007.

If Admin really cannot normalise repo so it is not continually inflating for no reason then there is a relatively easy workaround

Once a year (lets say on January 1st for example) Admin could manually adjust the factors in the repo power formula down by 50%

e.g. if repo power is calculated using

X*RepoScore + Y*DaysOfMembership + Z*PostCount

or whatever it is then just manually adjust the values of X, Y and Z down by 50% once a year.
