Yes, Declude already has TWO weights associated with SNFIPREP (one for positive, one for negative).
Just as you said, but multiplying with the positive or negative weight, as need be, one would get two linear slopes from the center point. On top of that, Dave has a "basepoint" option that can shift the center point left or right. So - it's 99% there. It just needs to "prorate" the +/- weights (= multiplying) rather than use them absolute values.

Not elegant - but would have the same effect as multiplying the reputation range with the defined max weight. I hate to muddy the waters further -- but we solved this problem once when developing the envelope management bit of GBUdb. It might be complicated to explain, but suppose you define the slope at a given point for each line you specify and then have the resulting weight be a linear transform (as was discussed before). Then you would need only two entries by default... One that describes full-scale + and another that defines full scale -. If you find the need to alter the slope then you can add additional points in between. The math works by drawing a straight line from 0 to the next defined point, and from that point to the extreme, and so on. Personally I think it is overkill -- but if you're going to talk about making many many lines for this then the multi-point curve interpolation is the way to go. In practice the best way _seems_ to be to provide only two slopes -- one positive going, one negative going -- and to establish a weight based on those slopes. Theoretically that could be defined on a single Declude test definition line. Is there some constraint that I don't know about causing folks to consider more complexity?
