Not trying to bump, just that I want to bump it myself every 24 hours.
It does not help if you bump your topic every 24 hours. Your bump power will be decreased after each bump. Your bump is an individual bump (see the third chart in the quoted post)If your bump power is the same every day, that improvement does not change anything for bumping effects and prevent shill accounts bumping topics for their services.
theymos' explanation on bump power
You're right. I think that the auto-stabilization property I described actually is desirable, though, so I changed the system to provide it. Now your super-bump power is: b*(1-0.15*s/b), where b is your base power and s is the total bump score you've contributed via superbumps over the last 30 days. This gives the same result as the previous algorithm except when any 30-day period overlaps with another.
I simplified your formula to as follows:
b*[0.85^(s/b)]
I am fairly confident the above is the intention, but have no way of testing if it is implemented because I have superbumped threads in the past 30 days. If the 's/b' is an exponent, I can rule out the '0.15' from being the base because if someone has never superbumped any threads, the exponent will be zero, and the parenthesis would be simplified to '1-1', or zero, and if the 0.15 is multiplied by 's/b' the rolling 30 day cumulative superbump score (assuming 1 superbump per day) varies a lot for the first 90 days after the first 30 days of superbumping. Using an exponent to 0.85 results in the superbump power stabilizing within 60 days if someone superbumps one thread per day.
I have charted both the above exponent formula, and 0.15 being multiplied by s/b below:
b*[0.85^(s/b)]
0.15 being multiplied by 's/b':
I have also charted the individual superbump power if someone bumps one thread per day based on the exponent formula:
b*[0.85^(s/b)]
