hello all
I found this on the forums today and thought it may be useful...and once you work it out can you explain it to me [think]

Well, that statement is no longer true then. We have a full run down of how the reputation system works in general from the development team, and no, it's not broken. it's completely possible that you may not get leadership in a day, even if you get 9 upvotes.

Here's the info:General Info On Voting
All upvotes, regardless of where they come from (hero or no) give you +1 reputation point.
All downvotes, regardless of where they come from (hero or no) give you -1 reputation point.
When you upvote, the voter personally gets +2 leadership for upvoting.
You must be higher than level 30 and have over 200 leadership to vote.
Each week, a player can vote on a single person up to 3 times. This resets weekly.

How is Leadership calculated?
Leadership is calculated and awarded on a daily basis. The number given is based on final reputation.
Reputation is calculated in a bit of a confusing manner. Here's the idea.
Players get to keep 70% of their total votes each day. This is calculated by adding ALL votes, up or down, together.

EX: If Herobro gets 9 upvotes and 2 downvotes in a day, he has 11 votes. The 11 is multiplied by 70%, which gives 7.7. The system rounds this number up to 8. On this basis, he can keep up to 8 upvotes and 8 downvotes. This results in a loss of an upvote for Herobro, putting him at 8 Up and 2 Down.

Once the 70% calculation is completed, final reputation is equal to upvotes minus downvotes. For Herobro, he has 8 up and 2 down. His final reputation is 6.

Herobro's final reputation is then ranked against the rest of his faction. The higher his reputation in his faction, the more leadership he can be awarded. This number can be anywhere between 100 leadership and 0 leadership, depending on what percentile he ranks in.

Leadership awarded can be changed depending on how many other people are participating in the system. If someone beats you in reputation, they will earn more leadership per day than you. This could also possibly force you to the bottom 10% percentile of the faction, resulting in 0 reputation, even if you got upvotes.
I hope that answers everyone's questions a bit more in-depth.
