@blueiiznh – that would be true if the math were as linear. However, if your knowledge of lurve were truly great you would understand know that (1) there is a limited amount of lurve an individual user can give another – therefore, after that point, when they give the person a GA or GQ, it doesn’t count toward their lurve score (2) there is a limited amount that each individual post can count toward the lurve score as well…so past a particular amount of GQs it doesn’t matter who votes for it, it will not add to the users lurve (3) because of the previous two, an influx of new users can suddenly increase the rate a person earns lurve, but this will need to be discounted by an average based on the general new users use and understanding of the lurve system, and finally (4) practically, a person’s lurve score generally increases faster on the days they are on Fluther, and therefore we would be required to discount days not in attendance at a certain rate in order to get a true representation of the lurve comparison.
A true secretary of lurve must understand, therefore, that there are consistent variables to be measured, and further that the value of each individual point of lurve one earns increases the longer that user us on Fluther.
Wow…I’m disturbed at myself on that one…
