All Dems strikes count double.Lenny said:But problem remains, how do you count a demi-strike, or (worse yet) a quasi-strike?
A quasi-strike could be a fractional strike, computed by multiplying his strike count by pi and dividing by the number of members of the forum. For example, assuming he has 8 strikes left after I really make him mad at me, and we have about 5,000 members, then a quasi-strike computation would be (8 x 3.1415)/5,000 = .00050264 strikes; we can apply a weighting factor to normalize the the quasi-strike value so it has impact, using a minimum fractional strike value of (for example) .01; this would have his quasi-strike value equal approximately 1/10th of a strike. As more newbies join, it works to his advantage in quasi-strike scenarios, so he will be overjoyed as more newbies arrive.
