SP is a free chrome extension to rank topics and posts you find interesting, much like the current merit system.
It does not require registration, works as a guest or member, does not track any browsing information (like IP address) and only reads the URL of the bitcointalk page you visit. It does not access the page HTML, is cheat resistant and provides useful bitcoin information such as price, minute and hour trends and advanced search access from any page. Links to our policies are at the bottom of this site.
How It Works
Votes are Category specific (Board, Topic or Post) Profile votes are proxy through Post and Topic votes.
Every twenty votes you may vote:
once for (1,2 and 9,10)
twice for (3,8)
unlimited for the average (4,5,6,7).
Votes will auto correct (you will notice) towards the median (5.5). If there is no room, a new Vote (ex: 10) will make the oldest 10 vote a 9 vote, and if needed the oldest 9 vote to an 8 vote, etc. It's best to rate a number of average posts before you rate the ones you like the best. You can revote as many times as you like.
After you vote , the votes are summed and divided by the number of voters to get the average vote. instantly. The rankings are recalculated every minute. Shadowpulse will provide "Top xx" reports based on your member ID, which is the only thing we track.
Your member id can change in a number of situations (reinstalling the extension, loading in incognito mode, etc) and if this happens you will see a highlighted ABOUT link to remind you to check your settings. Maintaining a consistent member id is only important if you want to preserve previous votes.
Members that have not visited a bitcointalk page in six months will have their votes removed. While cycling through member ids may allow you to boost a rating, it will only be temporary - if not detected by our abuse tools.
