Just being pedantic, but isn't it a product, rather than a quotient?

Is that good, bad or just numbers? |

Hows about, Average vote X no. of Fav photos / number of challenges entered. Its a bit fairer if you havent been here too long!

There is no good or bad in this formula. Because X,Y basis is depending on your average and # of challenges entered. Therefore someone could have entered 25 challenges and have 6.0 avg. votes received and have a lower number with this formula than a person that has entered 50 challenges and has a 4.0 avg. vote received.
User A has(6.0 x 25 = 150) and is equal to user B(3.0 x 50 = 150); Which is better? Neither, there are equal.

| basically it adds all your scores together into one number. Doesn't show anything apart from your total rating really. If you can even call it that. |

I would much prefer to be user A!!!
Have to agree with you Scott, the number this way is meaningless - why not just compare avg score to avg score???

I think a better formula for calculating a rank or sort for users would be to compare (A)avg. votes cast and (B)avg. votes received compared to the scale avg. of 5.5
EXAMPLE:
Taken from my Profile
(A)avg. Vote Cast = 5.0955
(B)avg. Vote Received = 5.1435
(C)1-10 Scale Avg. = 5.5000
(X)Avg. Vote Sum
(Y)Your Score
Formula
(A + B)/2 = X
(X - C) = Y
(5.0955 + 5.1435)/2 = 5.1195
(5.1195 - 5.5000) = -0.4305
The goal is to get into the positive numbers. Low voting hurts just the same as low scoring.
Try this formula.

Hmmm...that's interesting. Basically, if you avg 5.5 for giving and receiving you would be at 0. Better to give than receive? ;^)
(5.4154 + 5.3067)/2 = 5.3611
(5.3611 - 5.5000) = -0.1389

| Actually, where I was going with this and the reason I was calling it A "DPC Quotient" was a comparison between longevity on DPC and the ability to submit appealing pictures. It gives credit to those who have not only been members on DPC for a long time, but also those who have consistently submitted appealing pictures. For instance Someone like GeneralE has entered in almost every challenge since the site began gets credit for his loyalty to the site. Contrarily, Jibeguin has consistently submitted appealing pictures but has not submitted as many as GeneralE. Both recieve high scores in different ways for their dedication to DPC and what this website stands for in my opinion. |

This is all in good fun, fun to mess around with different descriptors as it were, but in good fun I have to say that SDW's number is fatally flawed: it would "encourage" artificial inflation of votes to get a "better" number.
If the "goal" of this "rating" is to measure dedication to DPC, as Inede has stated, then a better number might be one that factors challenges entered, average votes received, and number of comments made. Perhaps {(challenges entered) x average vote received) + (number of comments made + number of forum posts made) / 10}. Or something like that.
Challenges Entered: 20
Votes Cast: 5824
Avg Vote Cast: 4.9868
Votes Received: 5377
Avg Vote Received: 5.0136
# Comments:Made: 1149
# Helpful: 946
# Received: 345
Forum Posts: 1840
(20 x 5.0138) + (1149 + 1840) / 10 = 309.116 is my number.
Challenges Entered: 81
Votes Cast: 10695
Avg Vote Cast: 5.7143
Votes Received: 17248
Avg Vote Received: 5.7870
# Comments:Made: 404

GriGri girl's number would be 129.3747

a whopping 2144.3387 for the general....
This number is heavily biased towards frequent commenters/posters. If you wanted the entries x quality part to have more weight, divide the sum of comments + forum posts by 10 and add that to the guotient of entries x average vote received.

There is always the very simple.
(Highest score, plus lowest score, plus the average score) x 10 to make it feel bigger.
This would demonstrate a measure of quality and consistency
making mine 157.895

I's like that one a LOT better if we could throw out my self-portrait score LOL. 146.95...
Actually, why include the lowest? Average plus best x 10.... Yeah, that works...

All this "New Math" ... it make my head spin:)
My number is 221.78.
I did not figure the comments or posts, I am a pretty heavy commenter, although sometimes my comments are simple "Nice shot".

Ok - I put my foot firmly on the floor to make the spinning stop and came up with 149.9848.
Does that mean I'm still a rookie? or do I just suck at math? Where is the math guy when you need him?
