I'm pretty sure that when No Trust November was released (#1362477) the ranking system changed to:
0.3*(zap_sats+boost_sats) - downzap_sats
Zaps only count for a third because stackers receive 70% of a zap. So a stacker could use another account to zap themselves and could be getting the effect of a 100 sat zap for only a 30 sat cost.
Downzaps on the other hand go 100% to the reward pool. Someone must pay 100 sats to get the effect of a 100 sat downzap.
Therefore 100 sat of downzaps "count for more" in the rankings than 100 sats of zapping.
Boosts are interesting right now because boosts go to territory founders and rewards, and a stacker does not receive any portion of the boost. So really, a boost should probably be weighted more like a downzap. But at the moment, they are also discounted by a third in the ranking.
Right, I remember k00b talking about that boost weighting issue.
I'd also include the posting fees, comment fees, and a similar formula for comment value in the overall rankings.
I imagine that I'd come to the same conclusion as k00b (having them worth more), if I sat down to think it all the way through.
I like that it's putting pressure on all of us to put our money where our mouths are, even more than usual.
What do you mean by downzaps counting more?
