I am thinking of starting a student based forum and I want to add these activity algorithm as well as the potential activity algorithm to it. I searched everywhere on simple machines forum but in vain!

Can any staff member help me with the algorithms?

Also I want that algorithm where a newbie is restricted to post twice in between 360 seconds and it gets reduced over time and activity.

I will be highly obliged if someone helps me with this

The activity number is determined in this way:
time = number of two-week periods in which you've posted since your registration
activity = min(time * 14, posts)

Rough summary of what this means: If you post once per day on average, then you will eventually get the maximum number of activity points that you can get. Posting more than once per day on average is useless for increasing activity. The maximum number of activity points you can get is 1 per day, but your activity score only updates every two weeks. Therefore, it will take about 100 days to get 100 activity if you post once per day on average.

Activity is updated every hour.
