What is the PersonRank formula ?

Philip, I'm a bit confused over PersonRank.

What exactly causes increases ?

Someone like Juan has 127 Posts but not a single (point) PersonRank.

It took me about 700 Posts to make it to 10, while it takes some 100.

Does frequency also play a part ?

Because Juan's posts are stretched over more than 2 years. So is that a deciding factor.

You are asked to enter your full name here, that's why for first names only there's no PersonRank guarantee. The posting history of someone like "Juan" or "Max" or "Mark" is probably *not* a single person, so PersonRank doesn't make sense... as PR is supposed to indicate how frequent a certain person is in the forum. Hope that makes sense!

(And yes, there are other parts that play a role other than just posting frequency, but note that these things do also change over time...)
