Q: What is the PSCore statistic?
A: PSCore is a ranking formula that weights and calculates one's win percentage, rank percentile per post, and votes per post (VPP). It also takes into account the changes in the voting system and site activity over time by comparing one's VPP against a floating average VPP of other users who registered at the same time or later. Please note that only users that have posted at least 10 images are eligible to ensure proper mathematical sampling.

Below is the inner workings of how it is done:

The Variables:

WP = Win Percentage
RPP = Rank Percentile Per Post
VPP = Votes Per Post
FAV = Floating Average Votes Per Post

The Formula:

PSCORE = WP + (RPP/2) + (3(VPP/FAV))

Rank percentile is probably where you fall in the total group. For example, a RPP of 80, would mean your score is equal to or greater than 80% of other scores in the total group.

I've no idea what the floating average is though....
