Jyte's cred system should be less opaque.

Really, I want to know how much general cred I'll end up giving to random jokers if I want to go around giving one-shot cred to people who amuse me. Does the general cred you give increase if you give cred in an area you have alot of cred in? I've noticed that giving cred in an area you have much cred in increases the specific cred score. Should I stop giving "ZIG!" cred to anyone who references "All your Base"?

Some hints: The cred for each tag, and overall cred is each calculated separately. For each category, you give equal cred to each person you give cred to. The amount you give out is proportional to your score, and it diminishes with the number of people you have given cred to, but it is better than inversely proportional. As a result, networks with more people in them have a higher score, although it's asymptotic as the number of people increases.
Okay Rorek, so this is good if i am consistent with the cred tag i throw out because people amuse me, but still bad for willy-nilly cred tossing because I'm going to be giving an equal amount of overall cred to those people and to people who i give cred to in multiple unique areas.
