Right. So if you have a new user that is posting alot (as new users often do) and a user that has been there a while but not posted in a while, then the new user will have a higher batting average than the user with a big post count. That is how this should work. ;)

And to quote myself from above:

In other words, I am noticing that people with higher post counts AND higher posts per day are getting lower batting averages.

Well, the thing about the equations is I couldn't get it to work without putting it like it is.

I'm not the best PHP coder in the world, since I've only released three hacks, and they're all basic ones.

If anyone else can help that would be great...

Here's an idea, for an all-sports forum - give users the choice between batting average [baseball fans], QB passer rating [football fans], shooting percentage [basketball fans or hockey fans]. If you want to give this a try and would like to test it on my site, shoot me an email - chris@thesportsfans.com.

I installed this on my site, but for some reason the batting average shows up at 0.000 for anyone with 3.xx posts per day (or more?).

There are some flaws in the BA system here - which is why we created our own way on getting a realistic batting average for all members.

Would you care to share? ;)
