So I felt like the rate I was gaining rep at was a little weird, so I tested it out.  On my 4* realm, (20 PPA, right?) I placed around 2000 blocks, waited for the rep update, and got about 6500 rep for it.

Is there something I'm missing here?  Some kind of anti-rep farming feature?  Thanks for your help.  I'll post if I find out whats happening or If I find out I'm somehow being stupid.

One thing I can think of is

One thing I can think of is possibly I'm gaining rep as if my realm was 1* and the other 1500 rep I got was from random building earlier in the hour.  Soooo if that is what's happening, why is my 4* realm giving me rep like a 1*?

I'm going to place 1 single block before I go to bed tonight, and see what happens.

Update: I didn't play for an

Update: I didn't play for an hour, but I checked on womrealms.com and it updated again for another 4700 rep.  So I haven't played and no one else is building on my realm, where did this 4700 rep come from?  I'm 99% sure I didn't screw up my test and build in two separate hours (I payed attention to /repdate).  And even if I did, that is still only 11200 rep out of 40000 I should have.

Anybody got ideas?

Ok, well, just so you know,

Ok, well, just so you know, you can't just place all of the same block you won't get allot of rep for that.

Also, make sure you weren't using /fill.

Ok so that would make sense

Ok so that would make sense then, because I did place 2000 of the same block.  Does anyone know the math on the diminishing rep gain for placing all of the same block?  And no /fill, all blocks placed 1 by 1.

BUT
Explain this: this hour, I went into my realm to procrastinate (stupid exams...) and I placed 36 blocks,  However, the rep I gained at the update was just under 6000.  So I seem to be getting my rep, just not when I build?  I'm really confused as to what's going on here.

DR

There is a repdate each hour , so each hour you will gain + rep makes it easier.

I don't know the math for diminishing rep blockactions.
That is for Owner/Staff to know and keep a secret I believe.

Yea I'm aware of the rep and

Yea I'm aware of the rep and how it works, and /repdate and all that.  I'm gonna outline my whole situation and you can be the judge, cuz I'm lost man

So I have a 4* Realm (20 PPA,)
-Worker, Basic Account, No Clan
I place 2002 blocks (on purpose, all same block, and used /count), wait for rep update
I gain ~6500 rep
I do nothing until the next rep update
I gain ~4700 rep
I place 36 blocks, wait for rep update
I gain ~5900 rep
I do nothing until next rep update
I get nothing
So we can see that placing the same block type has a diminished rep gain, that's cool, but what's with me getting rep when I haven't built anything, and no-one else is building on my realm?  It looks like my total rep gain has been spread over a few hours, but that isn't supposed to happen right lol?  It didn't before.
When I asked on the server somebody called it "magic", and I'm willing to go with that at this point.

I guess it could be the cool

I guess it could be the cool off period for placing so many blocks of the same type maybe?

Could be, that would explain

Could be, that would explain me getting a lowered amount of rep when I placed 2000 blocks.  But does that explain me getting rep when I haven't built anything (or getting 6K rep from 36 blocks)?  Is there anything other than placing blocks that can get you rep?

Did you allow anyone to build

Did you allow anyone to build on your realms or are you part of a clan?

Neither. My rep seems to be

Neither.

My rep seems to be gaining normally now so I'm just gonna conclude it was a mix of lower rep gain for repeated blocks and me building at weird intervals.
Thanks for your help guys
