I get the "This seems to be your first time on our server, type in /elo_notify ... " - message every time I join the server/ map changes, and I always forget to type it in again and so I dont get any points which sucks.. :-/
Has anybody else the same problem or is it just me?

At current we have a few problems. Most players are joining, losing 100 points to the higher ranked players and never playing again, this overinflates highly ranked player's scores and it's frustrating having to get a K:D of 5:1 to gain points. Some players are joining, getting into the top10 and never joining again meaning the highly ranked players get fewer players to kill and get more than 3 points from.
A possible solution to both these problems would be resetting the database every month or even fortnight

Kill without assist should gain 100% of points available
Kill with assist should gain 70% for killer and 30% for assist so even if it is only 3 points the assist should get 1 point.
Can you give a fixed value 3 points for Flag/point capture
Then all classes will benefit from playing not just soldiers and demos
And if you can if a player is inactive for 7 days, he loses 10% of his rating every day untill he comes back

And if you can... if a player is inactive for 7 days, he loses 10% of his rating every day that would force snipers to play a mobile class at least once every 7 days so I'm in agreement /seriously... I like Tik's suggestions.

I don't like the idea of giving assists points because then pyros get them I don't like the idea of giving points for standing on a circle or running to your basement
I could make it so inactive players are hidden, but keep their rank

I don't like having to aim hit some one on the head, then a soldiers splash damage kills them. Who showed more skill? The player that had to AIM and scored 0 points, or the soldier that just spamed rockets towards a guy and scored 9 points? How many extra deaths would the soldier get and points lost if they didn't have a medic glued to them, but the medic gets little to no reward. a medic needs a minimum of 3 assists for every death just to break even? Standing on a circle or running to a basement is not without skill and needs to be rewarded. Those who actually try and win the game for their team by caping the intel, or caping the points will die alot more often than those just spaming rockets, or stickies. I agree engineers shouldn't get points for building equipment or fixing sapped eqipment, the same as other classes shouldn't be rewarded for destroying said gear. But at the minute the ELO system rewards Soldiers and demomen. I'm sure if i ran Goldrush for 24hours it would reward snipers aswell

I'd say it mostly rewards soldiers, because I went down with my rank yesterday from 11th to 289th as demo (with a K:D of 3:1, in 1 hour) and then got back to 24th when i started playing soldier for 10 minutes. this is a little bit unfair imo, because i still think soldier is a easy button noob class, and i'm the most noobish soldier sometimes.
btw can we have a list here what class scores how many points for kills with different weapons/assists/captures?

Just go spy if you want to be in the top 10, that class is the howitzer among the other rock, paper, scissors classes
