There are a few aspects Im not quite sure on:
1) Is the bumping score transferred to the thread taking into account all decimals, or is it truncated, rounded at some point?
i.e. A profile with 1 earned merit over the last year Mini Bumps a thread (by posting), and thus adds 1% of his base power -> 1 earned merit * 1% = 0,01 bump points transferred.
2) Mini Bumps do not reduce the Base bump power, and I believe that Super Bumps do not reduce it either directly (since they use a Modified Bump Power base_power*0.85super_bumps_last_30_days).
That would mean that Mini Bump power is in no way affected by Superbumps. Is that correct ?.
I figure that monitoring is internal to the forum (which is probably good), although I dont know how abuse may be detected/handled (i.e. people selling their bump power). There are, as of last Friday, around (I have not/cannot cross that with activity in that period of time, nor crossed against banned profiles):
109 profiles that have earned >= 364 merits in the last year.
122 profiles that have earned between 180 and 363 merits.
184 profiles that have earned between 90 and 179 merits.
308 profiles that have earned between 45 and 89 merits.
454 profiles that have earned between 22 and 44 merits.
1142 profiles that have earned between 10 and 21 merits.
7913 profiles that have earned between 1 and 9 merits.
