A few questions: Is it additive or multiplicative? To make it “no extra weight” should it be set to 1 or 0? Can it be set to a non-integer value like 1.5? Does it impact digests as well as the “top” topic list?

[image] mcwumbly: Is it additive or multiplicative? To make it “no extra weight” should it be set to 1 or 0? It is multiplicative, so 1 is no extra weight [image] mcwumbly: Can it be set to a non-integer value like 1.5? It should be allowed, if not then it is a bug. [image] mcwumbly: Does it impact digests as well as the “top” topic list? Yes I think it impacts the digests. (@neil can confirm)

[image] mcwumbly: Is it additive or multiplicative? To make it “no extra weight” should it be set to 1 or 0? My understanding based on this line of code is that setting it to 1 makes it count the same as other likes (setting it to 0 would make it count for nothing).

How does the "staff like weight" site setting work?

Yes, it’s used in digests too because it affects the overall “score” of a post.
