 The system calculates the reputation of members depending on how they are perceived by themselves and other [Virians|Virian]. 
  
 Members of the ["Reputation rating system"|http://virus.lucifer.com/bbs/index.php?action=repIndex] allocate one another's 'Reputations', by allocating them values: 
+ 
  1. This person should be banned 
+ 
  2. Little or no redeeming value 
+ 
  3. Strongly negative opinion 
+ 
  4. Slight negative opinion 
+ 
  5. Neutral or no opinion 
+ 
  6. Slight positive opinion 
+ 
  7. Strong positive opinion 
+ 
  8. A credit to the the community 
+ 
  9. A pillar of the community 
+ 
+For the purpose of evaluating 'Reputation', 'Influence' and 'Equity', members who are not yet rated by others are administratively allocated a 'neutral Reputation' of 5.  
  
 A computer algorithm converts this assigned 'Reputation' into: 
 *Reputation The average rating weighted by each member's influence. 
+ 
 *Influence How much weight the member's opinion carries. This is calculated from the reputation such that in a community of N members the voting weight is allocated as: 
-**Level 9 voting weight 1   
-**Level 5 voting weight 1/N   
-**Level 1 voting weight 1/N^2   
-*Equity The percentage of the total influence wielded by this member, where the 'Influence' is a determination of how much weight a member's opinion carries, calculated from the Reputation such that in a community of N members one level 7 member will have as much influence as N level 4s, and one level 4 will have as much influence as N level 1s. In this way, a member's 'Equity' reflects the percentage of the total influence wielded by a member.  
+**Level 9 voting weight N   
+**Level 5 voting weight 1  
+**Level 1 voting weight 1/N 
  
-For the purpose of evaluating 'Influence' and 'Equity', unrated members are allocated a 'neutral Reputation' of 5. 
+The exact formula to calculate an influence from a reputation R is e^(ln(N)*2*(R- 5)/(9-1))
