So, IOW, that number is there simply for those who need it in order to feel better about themselves.
Yeah, the cap was put in place back in the day because the built in formula was getting out of hand. People who have been around a long time and post a lot could bury a n00b with one blow.
Might be fun to disable the cap some day just for fun though. [Reply]

By theory, wouldn't you be able to lift a noob with one rep too then?
Shrug, it never seemed like a problem back in the day....to me at least. [Reply]

It's a completely useless system, really, so nothing is "a problem." The reason it's wonky though is the relative power of people. People who post a lot and have been around for a long time are WAY more powerful than newer people, and there's nothing newer users can do to ever catch up. To give you the idea, the most powerful people have rep power of around 15k. The median for people who have posted since November 1? 178. It's just way too skewed to mean anything. (Not that it does with the 500 cap either.) [Reply]

This. My shit was completely obscene prior to the Great Neutering, and I was literally the Sweden of CP with it too. You really had to piss me off to get me to use it. [Reply]
