I don't give a doggone about the specifics because I have never read a post this poster posted. But I know when something smells rotten in the State of.... oh... wherever.
Who can name this poster? Better yet, who can explain how someone with a + 50% rating has such a monumentally negative feedback score?
I certainly don't have the answer. Anyone care to enlighten this forum?
Best,

The percentage is contributed only when someone first reps them. The +- score is contributed everytime.
Suppose Persons A and B leave comments.
A gives a +, so the score is +1 and 100%
B gives a - , so the score is 0 and 50%
A gives a +, so the socre is +1 and 50%
The second (and all subsequent) feedback contributions will only move the score, not the percentage. A person can have a very low or high score from just a few people working overtime. It's the percentage which generally gives you a score in terms of the percentage of the forum they are supported/liked/disliked by.
Both a big negative score and a low percentage is something to watch out for. Limon has 0% and a score of about -26. That's the worst I've seen overall, but scores approaching -100 are around (Farsight).

100 percent agreement on this point.
